Alternatives for Arthritis

This guide covers a large number of options, allowing each of us readers to evaluate what we might be willing to try and what might be riskier than we are comfortable with. I especially appreciated the links to research regarding the herbs that are used to calm inflammation.
At 107 pages, it is too long for me to print out at home.

How often is this publication updated? If one purchased the current edition would the updates be available as they occur how would one know that there had been an update? Thank you.

It exceeded expectations. Great suggestions and explanations.

I love trying to find an alternative to modern drugs that often have serious and hidden effects on the body.

Today I found out that information services are in the top 1 percent of my own lifestyle. Patient Advocacy such as this really makes me feel better about today’s Medical Profession. Information Services should be more about advocacy and less about the Culture of disrespect. This shows respect.

I really needed the information. Thanks so much for what you do.

ALTERNATIVES FOR ARTHRITIS

This offers a number of suggestions, some of which I was not familiar with. Many are easy and harmless to try, such as the home remedies. There is also a good explanation of the dangers of some of the pharmaceutical options. I like the fact that pros and cons are given, and the text is easy to understand and very approachable for someone like me, who does not have a medical background.

It has some good information; for instance, this is the first time I’ve ever seen any explanation of HOW NSAIDs should cause heart attacks, strokes, or high blood pressure.

There is a very broad coverage of cures, some of them pure nonsense, some of them tried and proven, and some tried and proven remedies completely missing, such as chondroitin. There isn’t enough information presented to tell the difference. Information on Ashwagandha is different than what I have, which is that one study combined it with another ingredient and unknown if the Ashwaganda had much effect. Boswellia is covered but little information is presented about it, and the information on how to find a good product is fatally incomplete. Some of the information is pure nonsense, and the other reviews on this page, which focused on two prime examples, had me worried about buying this guide. An example is knox gelatin – I mean, come on.

Why isn’t your Guide to Arthritis required reading for all medical students and adults everywhere? There is more common sense in these 119 pages than I’ve found anywhere else. Just finished reading it and am blown away at the concise collection of data available of a comparison of drugs to nutritional supplements in alleviating the suffering of the largest segment of society, those over age 50, from arthritis. It all leads back to your first book explaining the growth of the drug industry and how the FDA is kept in check by it.

Well done thy good and faithful servants. You offer a forum for the voices of medical pros that do not sleep with the Drug Manufacturers. Sorry for the bluntness, but that’s just the fact.

great
