Nutritional Aspects and Clinical Management of Chronic Disorders and Diseases
Author: Felix Bronner
Nutrition plays a direct or indirect role in the causes, treatment, and/or management of many chronic disorders and diseases, yet the physician's primary, and often only, responsibility is providing treatment through medication. Written by physicians experienced in treating patients with chronic diseases, this book addresses the nutritional aspects and components of certain diseases and translates research findings and clinical experience into practical treatment recommendations. The book focuses on chronic illnesses that can be alleviated by nutritional support and intervention as part of the overall medical approach - from eating disorders and alcoholism to cancer, HIV, and AIDS.
