This is a very comprehensive and detailed guide on arithitis. I have a relative who suffers from this condition and he goes to bed every day at around 5 pm because of it. It is a terrible affliction of old age (and one that sometimes affects the young too), and anything you can do to alleviate the symptoms is going to be very beneficial and make life a lot easier and more comfortable.The chapter on myths is very insightful and I've learned so many things that I wasn't aware of. For example, there is a common held belief that a cold and/or wet climate induces arthritis, but this book explains why this is a myth and not a fact (a cold compress works too!). If you or someone you know is considering making a move to a warmer climate because of arthritis, for example, then it's information like this you need to know.The book explains the different types of arthritis, ie Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthrtis, Gout, Psoriatic Arthritis and Junvenile Arthristis (as on the cover). It is also accompanied by detailed medical diagrams. Included in the chapters are: what it is, the symptoms, causes, risk factors and treatment options (including natural treatments, such as losing weight and drinking lots of water etc). The dietary advice is invaluable. My relative suffers from Gout and has already been experiencing some relief from the symptoms by following this advice. It has been absolutely wonderful to see this.This is absolutely everything you need to know about arthritis. A very impressive and professionally presented guide containing relevant, up-to-date medical information and effective solutions for alleviating and removing the pain caused by arthritis, as much as is humanly possible. If you or someone you know needs help managing this common and awful affliction, then you really need the expert advice being offered here. Highly recommended!
