I am delighted, today, to be joined by Dr. Sonia Rapaport to discuss our current understanding of the critical role that inflammation plays in chronic illness. The new term CIRS -Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome- reflects that understanding. The Institute for Functional Medicine has asked a small group of physicians to clarify our knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, and we will share what we have learned with you. Please join us for this important program.
