Research shows that biochemical imbalances caused by nutritional
deficiencies are a contributory factor in chronic illnesses such as
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, auto-immune conditions and
cancer. This handbook for practitioners explains how to identify
and treat such biochemical imbalances in order to better understand
and manage a patient's ill-health. The book examines a range of
biochemical imbalances, including compromised adrenal or thyroid
function, gastro-intestinal imbalances, immune system problems and
sex hormone imbalances, and explains how and why such states occur.
It pulls together a wide range of evidence to show how such
imbalances are involved in the most common chronic diseases. It
helps practitioners to understand how to identify the imbalances
through appropriate case history taking and laboratory testing, and
how to design and implement effective nutritional interventions.
Developed by leading academics and practitioners in the fields of
nutritional therapy and functional medicine, this evidence-informed
approach can be used with all patients who present in clinic,
regardless of whether or not they have a 'named medical condition'.
In the final chapter, a case example illustrates how to use the
theoretical information in the practice of treating patients with
chronically compromised health. Biochemical Imbalances in Disease
is an essential text for nutritional therapy practitioners, as well
as for students, and will be welcomed by complementary and
conventional healthcare practitioners alike.

A comprehensive integrative handbook on fertility treatment, and
Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART), the book is written by
specialist contributors for health professionals and Complementary
and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practitioners, and for those
seriously considering ART themselves. Integrated approaches to
infertility offer both a greater awareness and understanding of the
combination of factors that can influence the chances of success
when undergoing different types of ART. Leading experts review the
evidence and discuss the benefits of different approaches to
support the physiological and emotional aspects of fertility and
fertility treatment. The book covers everything from identifying
and treating conditions that may reduce fertility, including
immunological abnormalities and specific male and female factors,
to how nutrition, acupuncture, reflexology and yoga can support
couples going through assisted reproduction, including helping to
improve some immunological aspects. There is also a chapter that
looks specifically at support for the over 40's.
