Rating:  - Unclear book
Not my favorite arthritis book. Too scattered in its approach. I was left confused and a little overwhelmed...but to be fair there is also a lot of very good information to be found within the pages...
Rating:  - Natural therapies to end arthritis pain
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has arthritis and who wants to end the pain using a lifestyle approach. The good doctor has given a multifaceted and holistic program that teaches readers how to change lifestyle habits to decrease pain and become more active. The chapter on the PAIN-FREE ARTHRITIS DIET was extremely beneficial to me, as I have rheumatoid arthritis. I was not aware of the food/inflammation/arthritis connection, so this report is cutting edge compared to other books in print.

This book is the best of all I've read on fibromyalgia, as well as different types of arthritis.

I found that I needed less medication within four weeks of starting this program. I recommend this book to anyone with FMS--and hope it gives you back your active life as it did with me.
