Featured Review
Description
As author of the widely popular Nutritional Medicine textbook, Dr. Alan Gaby has dedicated his career to investigating the interplay between nutrition and health outcomes. In this 2-hour presentation, Dr. Gaby reviews and analyzes recently published, clinically relevant research on the use of dietary modifications and nutritional supplements for the prevention and treatment of a wide range of health conditions, including osteoporosis, heart failure, influenza, colorectal cancer, breast cancer-related lymphedema, oral herpes simplex, bronchiectasis, diverticulitis, chronic inflammation, Tourette syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, tinnitus, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis. The presentation also discusses what appears to be an epidemic of fraudulent nutrition research coming from Iran and several other countries.
The material presented in this lecture is designed as an update to the research and clinical advice presented in the last publishing of Nutritional Medicine, creating a valuable resource for both owners and non-owners of the textbook alike.
