What is the link between gut biodiversity and mental health?Why has deforestation increased the prevalence of zoonotic diseases?Why are First Nation people who speaking their native language better protected against diabetes?Inflamed takes us on a medical tour through the human body - our digestive, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems - illuminating the hidden relationships between our biological systems and the profound injustices of our political and economic systems. This boldly original book shows how inflammation is connected not just to the food that we eat and the air that we breathe, but is also linked to the traumatic events we experience and the very models of health that physicians practice. Combining the latest scientific research and scholarship on globalization with the stories of Marya's work with patients in marginalized communities and the wisdom of indigenous groups, Inflamed points the way toward a deep medicine that has the potential to heal not only our bodies but the world.
