An Integrated Theory of Chronic Pain and Depression

I’m happy to announce that my new book, Total Recovery: Solving the Mystery of Chronic Pain and Depression, which I wrote with Donna Beech, is coming out May 6th. Total Recovery presents a unified theory of chronic pain and depression, drawing on patient stories and cutting-edge research, to reveal how chronic physical and emotional pain are manifestations of the same inflammation, brought on by microglial cells found in the brain and spinal cord.

In the book, I argue that by shutting down inflammation at its source - inside the brain - we can FINALLY have success in treating diverse and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraines, osteoarthritis, back pain, neuropathy, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, and IBS, to name a few.

The book has been endorsed by Brian Berman, MD, Mark Hyman, MD, Andrew Weil, MD, Tara Brach, PhD, Arthur Agatston, MD, Wayne B. Jonas, MD, and Woodson Merrell, MD, and you can read their endorsements here.

Anyone that pre-orders the book now will receive a free bonus gift - the Total Recovery Toolkit - which offers supplemental materials related to the information in the book, including my 3-part multimedia video presentation on the Gut-Brain Connection, an 8-minute autogenic meditation instruction, a Health Diary to track potential problem areas of your diet, and a Health Timeline, to help identify if/when a cumulative problematic health pattern has emerged. This bonus offering is going away once the book is released on May 6 so available for only a limited time. Details on how to receive the bonus are on my website at http://www.kaplanclinic.com/books/total-recovery and we’ve made it really quick and easy to redeem your gift.

I’d really appreciate you sharing this announcement with others who might be interested. I truly hope this book will help those that suffer, and those who care for them, to change the way they think about chronic pain. By getting to the core of the problem � inflammation - we can identify a legitimate path to healing and total recovery.

With my best wishes for your optimal health,

Gary
