Publisher's Note In THE COX-2 CONNECTION, pharmacist and naturalist James B. La Valle shares a thorough overview of treatment options for a variety of disorders for which inflammation is a primary symptom--from osteoarthritis, bursitis, and fibromyalgia to rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and dysbiosis. Cox-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) is the key enzyme responsible for th body's inflammation and pain response and is also linked to the inflammation that may play a significant role in the progression of Alzheimer's and cancer. THE COX-2 CONNECTION, however, goes further than other pain management books by dealing with not only the synthetics, anti-inflammatory Cox-2 inhibitors, such as Celebrex and Vioxx, but also with their natural counterparts that have been used for thousands of years by people all over the world. The author also offers a host of other pain management strategies and techniques for those who suffer with inflammatory disease.
