Each year, an estimated 100,000 arthritis sufferers in this country are hospitalised because of side effects of commonly prescribed arthritis drugs; some 16,000 patients die unnecessarily from similar reactions. In this accessible new guidebook for people recently diagnosed with arthritis, health expert Earl Mindell details the benefits and drawbacks of conventional treatments and offers a number of safe, effective natural remedies. Earl Mindell's Arthritis: What You Need to Know features a special 'arthritis-busting' diet to cleanse the body of toxins that contribute to joint diseases and introduces superfoods for alleviating arthritis symptoms. Dr Mindell describes simple exercises for pain-free joints; highlights herbal and supplemental remedies; and covers hypnosis, acupuncture, and other alternative methods for coping with arthritis pain. If you suffer from arthritis and are looking for practical advice and alternatives to medication, this book is invaluable in helping fight the disease.
