My assumption is most will not have interest in this book and topic until faced with the ravages of inflammatory related disorders. At that point, it is unclear how this information can be useful. Or, is it possible it can compound already serious disorders.
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is one of these disorders. It is a very rare inflammatory condition of the skin, and is without a known cause or cure.
A problem with this category of books is the attempt to appear scientific and, thereby, offer false hope based solely on skillful marketing.
Ms. Winfrey needs to be aware of this perspective and the potential for harm that outweighs promise.
