Millions of people are suffering from chronic illnesses that, unbeknownst to them, are the result of exposure to environmental toxins and infectious agents such as mold and Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease. Millions. Because the symptoms of these illnesses are so varied and unusual, many of these individuals have sought medical care only to be dismissed, as if what they are experiencing is 'in their head.' Many (if not most) have tried to tough it out and continue to function without hope of improvement. Unfortunately, their illnesses are very real. The new edition of Toxic offers renewed hope for patients, their loved ones, and the physicians who care for them. Dr. Neil Nathan delves deeper into the harmful impact of chronic inflammation in driving disease and presents the latest information that can help both doctors and patients achieve faster and more complete healing. He has also expanded the chapter on mold toxicity, as it is increasingly recognized as a leading cause of complex illnesses. Drawing on decades of experience helping thousands of patients regain their health, even when other doctors had lost hope, Dr. Nathan continues to refine his understanding of the common causes of debilitating illnesses, leading to more precise and effective treatments. This updated edition sheds even more light on these complex conditions, offering patients and their families the crucial support they need.
