Inflammation and Natural Products brings together research in the
area of the natural products and their anti-inflammatory action in
medical, nutraceutical and food products, addressing specific
chronic inflammatory diseases like cancer and the mechanistic
aspects of the mode of action of some key natural products.
Inflammation is a complicated process, driven by infection or
injury or genetic changes, which results in triggering signalling
cascades, activation of transcription factors, gene expression,
increased levels of inflammatory enzymes, and release of various
oxidants and pro-inflammatory molecules in inflammatory cells.
Excessive oxidants and inflammatory mediators have a harmful effect
on normal tissue, including toxicity, loss of barrier function,
abnormal cell proliferation, inhibiting normal function of tissues
and organs and finally leading to systemic disorders. The emerging
development of natural product formulations utilizing the unique
anti-inflammatory compounds such as polyphenols, polysaccharides,
terpenes, fatty acids, proteins and several other bioactive
components has shown notable successes. Inflammation and Natural
Products: Recent Development and Current Status provides a
comprehensive resource, ranging from detailed explanation on
inflammation to molecular docking strategies for naturally
occurring compounds with anti-inflammatory activity. It is useful
for graduate students, academic and professionals in the fields of
pharmaceutical and medical sciences and specialists from natural
product-related industries.
As an easily accessible companion to Raymond Perrin's The Perrin
Technique 2nd Edition, this handbook provides the basics of the why
and the how of the Perrin Technique so that ME/CFS and fibromyalgia
sufferers who are severely fatigued and unable to read - or even
hold - a 530 page book can still obtain the core information needed
to understand the importance of good neurolymphatic drainage to
health and to recovery. For a thorough understanding of the
structural and neuro-immunological problems that can lead to
myalgic encephalomyelitis, chronic fatigue syndrome and
fibromyalgia, the comprehensive book is essential but for those who
just want the basics - why they are ill, why they have the symptoms
they have and what they need to do to get better - the Concise
Perrin Technique offers illustrated, step-by-step guidance along
with answers to the FAQs that Dr Perrin has encountered over 30
years of treating ME/CFS with manual technique.
