About this ebook
Why can't I get better?
Did my doctors miss something?
How can I recover?
According to Dr. Gary Kaplan, conventional thinking about the nature of chronic pain and depression is essentially flawed. Although physicians continue to diagnose conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic back pain, depression, anxiety, and PTSD, a growing body of research shows that these are in fact symptoms of something else—a deep-rooted inflammation in the brain. This inflammation can affect the nervous system for months-even years-to devastating effect.
In Total Recovery, Dr. Kaplan demonstrates that it is possible to quiet the inflammatory state at the root of chronic pain and depression, and lays out a revolutionary new medical approach to ending your suffering and reclaiming your health.

Not just for people who are sick. Amazing new information that will leave you open-mouthed.. Extremely helpful. Makes you re-think medicine as we have been accustomed to. Brand new way of thinking about pain, depression and illness in general. A must read.
