Inflamed: Deep Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice - Patel Raj - książka

Health is not something we can achieve in isolation; it is intrinsically connected to the world around us. The phrase "an injury to one is an injury to all" captures this interconnectedness. *Inflamed* takes us on a fascinating journey through the human body, exploring systems such as the digestive, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. It sheds light on the often-overlooked links between our biological functions and the deep-seated injustices present within our political and economic frameworks. The book presents a unique perspective on inflammation, revealing its ties not only to our diet and the environment we inhabit but also to the traumatic experiences we endure and the narratives we construct. It critiques the practices and oversights of daily medical diagnoses. Through a fusion of cutting-edge research on globalization and biology, patient stories from underserved communities, and Indigenous scientific knowledge, *Inflamed* offers a vision of profound healing. This comprehensive approach to medicine emphasizes the potential to mend both our physical selves and the broader world.
