How to Deal With Back Pain and Rheumatoid Joint Pain
Dr. Batmanghelidj received his formal medical education at  St. Mary's Hospital Medical School of London University.  He provides  for the layman a clear and comprehensive book on the origins of chronic  pain. His clinical and scientific research exposes, for the first  time, that recurring "chronic pains" are a signal system of the body  indicating severe general or local dehydration. Most of these pains  can be relieved simply by drinking water. Instead, however, the patient  often receives costly pharmaceutical medications which treat rather  than cure.In this book, back pain and rheumatoid joint pain as indicators of  local chronic dehydration are explained. The mechanisms involving  the important role of water in holding the spinal column together  are discussed. Based on years of detailed study of the human anatomy  and the science of physiology, Dr. Batmanghelidj has devised a new  exercise approach for the successful hydration of the disc core, the  retraction of the displaced discs, and immediate relief of pain, even  sciatica. These exercises are clearly explained and demonstrated,  and may be the only way to save yourself from the surgeon's knife.This book is unlike any other "how-to" book on the market. It is an  instructive presentation about the very simple way of finding comfort  and relief from two of the most commonly occurring pains of the  body low back pain and rheumatoid joint pain.
