"Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine, Volume 1: Essential Knowledge for Safe Action and Effective Treatment" (2016) updates and extends the previous Inflammation Mastery / Functional Inflammology, Volume 1 (2014); this 2-volume work is also published in the single volume of "Inflammation Mastery 4th Edition" (2016). This work is the culmination of several thousand research publications combined with Dr Vasquez's many years of clinical experience and teaching graduate-level students and doctorate-level clinicians worldwide. With radiographs, photos, acronyms, illustrations, flowcharts, and detailed-yet-simplifying explanations, Dr Vasquez makes it easier than ever for clinicians to grasp important concepts in integrative care and functional medicine and then to translate the basic science research and molecular biology into treatment plans that can be explained and used in "the real world" of clinical practice with patients. The associated video tutorials and recorded live conference presentations further help students and clinicians "get it" via Dr Vasquez's effective teaching style which embraces complexity while always emphasizing clinical applicability and psychosocial context. The Inflammation Mastery & Functional Inflammology series of books and videos translates important concepts and nutritional/biomedical science into easy and practical clinical applications for the prevention and treatment of disorders of sustained inflammation, which Dr Vasquez describes as "patterns of metabolic disturbance and inflammatory dysfunction" existing in three sequential and overlapping categories: 1) metabolic inflammation, 2) allergic inflammation, 3) autoimmune inflammation. This book includes access to video presentations which introduce the origin and components of the Functional Inflammology Protocol and FINDSEX (R) acronym. Post-publication updates to this information and important social and clinical contextualization are made available in videos and online repositories (access provided in the book), and the e-newsletter available from ICHNFM.ORG. This textbook also provides access, via reprints or hyperlinks, to Dr Vasquez's published articles--an example of which is his recent paradigm-shifting editorial published in the journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine (2014 January). The updated section on pain management allows students and clinicians to understand and apply manual, pharmacologic, nutritional and botanical medicine treatments for musculoskeletal pain, thereby providing better relief for patients and avoiding the hazards of NSAIDs, coxibs, steroids, opioids, immunosuppressants and biologics. Review: Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine, vol. 1 - I love this book! It is what I needed for a reference in my Integrative Health Clinic. I will purchase volume 2 soon. Thank you Dr. Vasquez for putting much of the information I use into such a precise clinical reference book. Review: So Worth It - This is for EVERY medical provider. Buy immediately, if not sooner.

The Best Book on Functional Medicine!
Simply put, this is the most comprehensive book on Functional Medicine out there. It is mind boggling in it's scope and sets the new standard for integrative medicine books. It extensively covers physical assessment and patient examination in a easy to understand format. The depth of blood work interpretation from a functional perspective is unsurpassed. Over 100 pages are devoted to establishing a system of care based on wellness promotion and foundational concepts like diet, nutrition, psycoemotional and social health, exercise and musculoskeletal care, every bit of it practical and incredibly well referenced. The following 700 pages are devoted to identifying the modifiable factors in chronic inflammation and developing effective treatment protocols for the most complicated of diseases, including multiple autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, migraines and diabetes. In short, the level of information in this book surpasses that found in FM training courses that cost 100 times as much. You won't be putting this book on your bookshelf, it will find it's rightfully deserved place on your desk for easy referencing.

Not great
I did not think much of this book. Lot of information about the author that was like a personal scrapbook. I will admit the author has contributed a lot to functional medicine . This book did not reflect , what he is capable of doing .

Great Functional Medicine Resource
I have several of Dr. Vasquez texts and have gone through many of his online video programs as well (on his membership site) I am a practicing herbalist and functional medicine coach and I cannot highly recommend his work enough. I see clients one-on-one and teach workshops. I have been studying about holistic remedies for MANY year and seeing clients now for 10 years and his work has helped me help my clients to much! Any of his work is a worthy investment and no one pays me to say any of that, lol. I am a huge fan for sure!

Author should stick to what he knows!
This author spends too much time bashing allopathic physicians--should spend more of the time on what he knows--all of medicine is a difficult task and allopaths have years more training because there is SO much to know.

Functional medicine must read
I’m studying nutrition and am finding this book invaluable. Dr Vasquez clearly explains important concepts in functional medicine and shares his clinical experience. I’ve just finished it and am now going to go through it again making full notes. It’s that good.

INFLAMMATION IS THE BASIS OF MOST DISEASES
Dr Alex discusses how inflammation causes many of our diseases and how they can be managed just by fixing inflammation. As I am an allopathic practitioner, I was never been taught this way. By using this theory( I have been following an integrated medicine fellowship course) I was able to control the disease process of the patients those who have CKD( due to autoimmune disease and diabetes), hypothyroidism , and diabetes ( in myself, I was able to stop my insulin therapy-used to take 32 units of insulin daily. My blood pressure dropped from 128 mmHg to 114 and weight from 78kg to 72 within four months -not doing any exercise , just dieting and treating inflammation and dysbiosis. I recommend both his books very highly and if a doctor knows both the allopathic and integrative therapies, he or she is going to be wonderful.
