Editorial Review:

The complete guide to available therapies for individuals suffering from osteoarthrosis and other arthritic diseases.

The most up-to-date information on this disease that strikes one in six people.

Includes case histories, practitioners' perspectives, and a complete resource guide to the organizations, publications, and Internet sites devoted to arthritis.

For those suffering from arthritis and other arthritic diseases such as gout and fibromyalgia, The Arthritis Bible is the most up-to-date and complete resource to available treatments--both alternative and conventional. Forty-three million Americans--one in six of us--are afflicted with arthritis, yet the traditional medical community continues to offer only the limited number of treatments found within the narrowly proscribed boundaries of Western medicine. And while many alternative therapies do provide relief, too many have become victims of the "flavor-of-the-month" mentality, their true merits being lost amidst hype and unwarranted claims before adequate research has been done.

The Arthritis Bible supplies the latest wisdom on conventional drugs, exercise, physical therapy, diet, vitamins and minerals, traditional herbs, nutraceuticals, homeopathy, and folk remedies. It also advises how to choose the right medical approach and practitioner, gives case histories, and presents the perspectives of a variety of different types of practitioners. For anyone seeking relief from the painful and often debilitating consequences of arthritic diseases, The Arthritis Bible is a must for the shelf.

Our daughter is taking it as a way to heal her back injuries due to an accident. She no longer needs those heavy duty pain killers. An additional site... more info

Outstanding coverage of all reasonable, effective treatments:

This is an excellent, concise, highly usable book about ALL reasonable treatments that show merit and promise for treating arthritis, both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Though the coverage of each treatment is remarkably brief and to-the-point, it avoids being just a "shopping list" of what to take; and manages to prioritize, in well-reasoned arguments, what makes the most sense to try and why.

Don't expect a flimsy health food store brochure filled with questionable claims, or some pamphlet... more info
