The Arthritis Cure : The Medical Miracle That Can Halt,
Reverse, and May Even Cure Osteoarthritis
by Jason Theodosakis, Barry Fox, Brenda D. Adderly
Health and Fitness Editor's Recommended Book
The word "cure" in the title is a bit misleading, but this book certainly makes a
persuasive argument in favor of treating osteoarthritis with two common nutritional
supplements--glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates--and following a program
emphasizing better nutrition and exercise. The supplements are commonly used in
Europe and Asia, where they've been tested in double-blind, placebo-controlled
studies (the gold standard for medical research). They haven't been thoroughly tested
in the United States, the authors contend, because drug companies can't patent the
supplements and thus won't fund the research. The book also contains a chapter
detailing a seven-step arthritis-prevention program.
Synopsis
Four decades of medical research from around the world has shown that two
nutritional supplements - glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates - can halt, reverse,
and even cure osteoarthritis. After combing the medical research and analyzing his
own study results, Dr. Theodosakis has, in this book, provided a complete approach
to the treatment of arthritis. In The Arthritis Cure, you will find the complete
nine-step Arthritis Cure program, a full (and understandable) analysis of the reams of
medical research, and a seven-step strategy for preventing osteoarthritis. Moreover,
Dr. Theodosakis has listed invaluable information on dosage and the products
currently on the market. He also tells you the truth about painkillers, gives you
realistic diet and exercise programs to follow, and helps you overcome the blues that
come with any chronic condition.
