Encyclopedic in scope, this three volume work, a nascent classic in the field of environmental medicine, draws deeply on the clinical histories of thousands of profoundly ill patients to describe the physiology and chemical sensitivity of chronic degenerative diseases, their different manifestations, how to diagnose them, and how to reverse the dysfunction. The first volume introduces the basics of homeostasis for the body, the manner in which pollutants might enter, and the possibility for reversal. The second describes clinical syndromes within each of the body's systems. The final volume presents laboratory data and treatment options.
