Food and Nutrients for Disease Management
Good news! Progress on the next medical textbook entitled Food and Nutrients for Disease Managment is building momentum with chapters nearing completion.
This is the first medical nutrition book to emphasize whole foods over isolated nutrients. A team of approximately sixty contributing authors will translate medical research on nutrients into practical dietary recommendations and offer evidence-based interventions for patients.
Written by doctors for doctors, this new textbook will address sixty recurrent and chronic medical conditions where food and its nutrients have proven to be beneficial. In addition to heart disease, obesity and diabetes, the book will cover less well-known nutrient-associated conditions such as male infertility, kidney stones, prostate cancer, recurrent herpes infections, chronic viral hepatitis, preparing for surgery, and more.
The central importance of providing the body with optimal nutrition is clearly demonstrated. says Susan Lord, M.D., Clinical assistant professor, Department of Family Medicine, and adjunct assistant professor, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Georgetown University School of Medicine.
Stay tuned for further updates…

I wonder if your book, Food and Nutrients in Disease Management, is available through medical or other libraries in the Baltimore-Washington area, Dr. Kohlstadt.
