Review
"... an engaging and interesting new book, making very convincing arguments for the strengths of herbal COX-2 inhibitors ..." -- Dr. James A. Duke, author of The Green Pharmacy, Chief of USDA's Medicinal Plant Laboratory and international authority on botanical medicine
"... scientists ... say they have a promising candidate [to prevent cancer from forming], an aspirinlike drug known as selective COX-2 inhibitor ..." -- Gina Kolata, New York Times, Tuesday, January 18, 2000
Product Description
COX-2. This odd-sounding abbreviation of the human enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 is the keyword in a scientific revolution. As reported in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and myriad talk shows, there are now over 50 studies demonstrating that stopping this enzyme means stopping the degenenerative diseases Alzheimer's and arthritis--and, very possibly, ---cancer.
So, COX-2 inhibitors have been developed with the trade names Celebrex and Vioxx, and these show promise, but not without side effects. However, COX-2 inhibitors have been in use since Hippocrates first perscribed them, and this book continues that tradition by offering the details of the herbal COX-2 inhibitor.
Herbal COX- 2 Inhibition covers all aspects of the latest information on COX-2 inhibition, including
* how the COX-2 enzyme creates inflammation in the body
* the relationship between COX-2 inflammation and arthritis, * specificcancers and Alzheimer's disease
* herbs and dietary strategies proven to inhibit COX-2 inflammation safely
* the dangers of the pharmeceutical synthetic COX-2 drug
* practical guidelines for personal use.
Authors Thomas Newmark and Paul Schulick demonstrate in this book that there is profound wisdom in choosing traditional herbal COX -2 inhibitors offered to humankind by nature.
