Why we chose this book

This author comes highly recommended from people who have heard him speak. He very clearly explains the maladies of the gut, which are among the top reasons why patients visit their doctors, and how to correct them using traditional and integrative therapies. Medicine is just beginning to understand the important roles the gut plays in immunity, autoimmunity, neurotransmitter levels and brain function.
