  • "I appreciate the resources you offer the profession. I use your books and articles regularly." Chiropractic Doctor, 2011

  • "Dr. Vasquez,  I greatly appreciate your efforts. I am a student at ___, 8th trimester, and would like to express my gratitude for your research and works. After coming across your texts in the library, I quickly found your insight and explanations of the current health care crisis, and in depth coverage and algorithms for inflammatory diseases as a profound inspiration and call to action. I appreciate your attention to detail, and have been taken back several times by the potency and meaning of your sentences. Thank you for your hard work, I will enjoy these books and will surely share with those that have the same drive for true and competent patient care."  Chiropractic Student, 2008

  • "I'm so pleased with your books and was inspired to let you know they have already been incredibly useful!  Good index; well organized algorithms.  Sometimes I buy educational material and it just sort of sits there...  Your books now live on my main desk.  Thanks.   Naturopathic Physician, and Journal Editor, 2009

  • "I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying reading your book integrative rheumatology. It is having an extremely positive impact in the way I view health and am having a tough time putting it down. It is very inspirational.    I have long felt that it is very important to set a good example for your patients and now try my best to be one for my future patients. I like how you stress this in your book. In order to be the best example for my patients I am going to need to address some problems with my own health. I look healthy from the outside but I have been suffering from fatigue for about 4 years. It has a very negative impact on my health. People say that doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity so I think it is time that I attempt to make some changes.  ... Thanks again for writing such a great book. I feel it is a must have for anyone in a musculoskeletal practice." Chiropractic Student, 2010

  • "My name is [recent graduate], and I've been a fan of your books since I was in chiropractic college at Palmer's Florida campus. Dr. [Author, Presenter] made your book, Integrative Rheumatology,  required reading for his 9th quarter nutrition class. I never looked back, and have since purchased Chiropractic & Naturopathic Mastery of Common Clinical Disorders as well as Chiropractic Management of Chronic Hypertension."   Chiropractic Doctor, 2010

  • "I saw your books in a colleague's office and was really impressed.  Really appreciate the thoroughness you've put into them."    Chiropractic Doctor, 2010

  • "It is with great interest and fascination that I have been reading your material both in your two books (Integrative Orthopedics and Integrative Rheumatology) and online. I consider myself very fortunate to have come across your work, as many of the basic elements of health which you discuss I never learnt or even heard about while in chiropractic college."   Chiropractic Doctor, 2010

Integrative Rheumatology: Second Edition

  • Integrative Rheumatology is now "required reading" at several naturopathic colleges!

  • Page size: 8.5" x 11"

  • Length: 504 pages

  • Print: black, white, grayscale text, diagrams, photos

  • Publication history: March 2006: first printing; July 2006: a few books were printed under the title Nutritional and Botanical Treatments for Autoimmune Diseases (same content with a different cover); December 2006: Chapter 1 was revised, updated, and lengthened by 5,000 words, 70 citations, and 2 pages; chapters 4 and 5 were updated; March 2007: The most current versions of Chapters 1-3, Therapeutics, and Core Competencies from Integrative Orthopedics were added along with an entirely new chapter on iron overload.  Integrative Rheumatology: celebrates 3 years of being ahead of "conventional" clinical practice!

  • Citations to research: Approximately 4,476

  • Used properly, this book will pay for itself within: On the first visit with the first patient on the first morning

  • Comments: This book is a quantum leap over anything I've previously written.  It makes the vitamin D monograph look like child's play.

  • ISBN: 9780975285879

  • Description: Integrative Rheumatology is a clinically-oriented textbook that extends beyond Integrative Orthopedics to outline treatment plans for autoimmune and systemic inflammatory disorders. Since approximately 1 of every 7 (14% of total) visits to a primary healthcare provider is for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain or dysfunction, every physician needs to have 1) knowledge of important concepts related to musculoskeletal medicine, 2) awareness of urgent and emergency conditions, 3) skills to competently perform orthopedic examination procedures and clinical assessments, 4) ability to interpret common laboratory tests, and 5) the knowledge and ability to design and implement effective treatment plans. Integrative Rheumatology empowers students and doctors with the insight necessary for the design and implementation of truly integrative treatment plans for conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Diagnostic, therapeutic, risk reduction and patient management strategies are emphasized throughout.
