This guide examines the causes of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and outlines an effective self-help program based on natural treatments. Qigong has been successfully applied to rebuild the strength and mobility of affected joints arthritis free. These quigong exercises can be learned and practices at home by yourself or with a partner. Plenty of black and white illustrations include diagram arrows outlining movements undertaken in the program. The result is a fine alternative to conventional Western medical approaches.
Arthritis is the perfect complement to western medical treatments.
Many arthritis sufferers are not aware that a regime of natural therapies can greatly reduce arthritis pain. In this book the authors explain how diet, exercise, lifestyle modification, and glucosamine sulfate can both relieve pain and rebuild damaged joints with no adverse side effects. Accompanied by reminder lists for easy reference, the book is designed to help people identify subtle changes in their condition, monitor what seems to improve or aggravate joint pain, and learn to successfully control their arthritis. Tested over the course of four decades, this treatment has no side effects and is available without a prescription. 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.
