Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles a series of detailed case studies that explore the nitrogen metabolism of two patients diagnosed with eczema. It begins by comparing the similarities and contrasts in the two patients' medical histories and physical observations, then analyzes the chemical breakdown of the patient's food intake, focusing primarily on nitrogen retention and loss. The author investigates how the body stores excess nitrogen and what happens when nitrogen is lost through the exfoliation of damaged skin cells. The book demonstrates that nitrogen is retained and lost differently depending on the type of eczema, the patient's body chemistry, and their prescribed diet. The author also suggests that a diet either high or unusually low in protein may negatively impact eczema, a condition already characterized by extreme exfoliation of the skin's epithelial cells. The author concludes that nitrogen retention and loss can vary greatly from patient to patient, and that a patient's individual biochemistry must be considered when choosing an effective and safe treatment.
