Arthritis Kindle Edition

This is a very comprehensive and detailed guide on arithitis. I have a relative who suffers from this condition and he goes to bed every day at around 5 pm because of it. It is a terrible affliction of old age (and one that sometimes affects the young too), and anything you can do to alleviate the symptoms is going to be very beneficial and make life a lot easier and more comfortable.The chapter on myths is very insightful and I've learned so many things that I wasn't aware of. For example, there is a common held belief that a cold and/or wet climate induces arthritis, but this book explains why this is a myth and not a fact (a cold compress works too!). If you or someone you know is considering making a move to a warmer climate because of arthritis, for example, then it's information like this you need to know.The book explains the different types of arthritis, ie Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthrtis, Gout, Psoriatic Arthritis and Junvenile Arthristis (as on the cover). It is also accompanied by detailed medical diagrams. Included in the chapters are: what it is, the symptoms, causes, risk factors and treatment options (including natural treatments, such as losing weight and drinking lots of water etc). The dietary advice is invaluable. My relative suffers from Gout and has already been experiencing some relief from the symptoms by following this advice. It has been absolutely wonderful to see this.This is absolutely everything you need to know about arthritis. A very impressive and professionally presented guide containing relevant, up-to-date medical information and effective solutions for alleviating and removing the pain caused by arthritis, as much as is humanly possible. If you or someone you know needs help managing this common and awful affliction, then you really need the expert advice being offered here. Highly recommended!

Although my father has never been a heavy drinker he has gout. His physician has refused another prescription for his medication because of adverse reactions but nothing else has ever helped relieve his pain. It's heart wrenching to see a parent in such pain. I have spent countless hours on the internet trying to find something *anything* to ease his pain. This time we're going by the book so to speak, we're using diet and more water consumption to help maintain normal uric acid levels and omega-3 along with vitamin E and Folic Acid and so far so good and we owe it all to this book!

"But I thought arthritis was only for the elderly..."Apparently not. According to the author, even toddlers and juveniles can get it. That's just one of the many myths this book dispels in its mission to inform readers about arthritis and various other similar conditions. Then it outlined specific treatments that--while not getting rid of these ailments--certainly help one to cope with them. I found it particularly useful in that my grandmother, whom I care for, has arthritis. Even if you don't have one of these conditions yourself, it helps to know how you can assist someone who does. And you never really do know if you won't get it yourself. I truly think that everyone should read this, sooner than later...

If you are one of the millions of people suffering from arthritis or gout and are unsure about the available treatments then this book is just for you. It is filled with helpful information on arthritis myths, recent research, and the different treatments for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis, and gout. The book gives clear information on the positives and negatives of each treatments and lets you decide which is best for your situation. The book is very well researched and written in a clear and easy to understand way. If you are looking for info on arthritis treatments I highly recommend checking this book out.

I have been interested in alternative health and medicine since childhood. My dad taught me about the benefits of natural health since a very early age and I since then I have always been reading and learning about the subject as much as I could. So when John asked me to review this book for him and publish my findings I obviously jumped at the opportunity. Here is a summary of my first impressions as I read through the book:· The book is well researched, well laid out and very easy to read.· No confusing and impossible medical jargon - the book is written in easy everyday English for lay people.· Contains in depth discussions of the various and most common forms of arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and juvenile arthritis)· Each form of arthritis is discussed as follows: What It Is. Signs and Symptoms. The Causes. Risk Factors. Treatment Options - covering conventional and alternative options.I am impressed with the obvious research effort as well as the quality of the information that went into this book. I have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend it highly to any arthritis sufferers. You can only benefit from reading this book and applying what you have learned. There are some refreshing new ideas in there.

The author describes the basic types of arthritis and management of each type. Although the use of pharmaceutical and surgical intervention are discussed the author has a preference for diet, exercise and herbal treatment. For me, this book is a great starting point and one could then begin to research the various interventions described in further detail. Treatment described for different types of arthritis are not the same thing over and over again which some books do to fill up pages. I suspect some people may be disappointed who are well educated on the condition and looking for a more in depth plan to his or her condition . There is some research sited but not a large amount. This keeps the text from being bogged down, but again, those who want in depth research may also be a bit disappointed.

It's an informative book, breaking each type of arthritis into chapters. Giving advice on medical pain relief and alternative natural pain relief. Dietary advice for each type. I have osteoarthritis , I found this book to helpful in a basic way. I will follow the dietary advice to see if it helps.
