(More customer reviews)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 telling you what you already know. This is a VERY well-written, SUPERBLY organized, thorough and comprehensive book--a model of how to cover conventional and alternative treatments of ANY disease. If you buy just one book on dealing with arthritis, this should be it. (And given how common arthritis is, it might make a thoughtful gift for someone else you know as well.)

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, and includes a complete resource guide to the organizations, publications and internet sites devoted to arthritis. For anyone seeking relief from the painful and often debilitating consequences of arthritic diseases, The Arthritis Bible is a must for the shelf.
