Description: "From the author of The Immune System Recovery Plan comes a science-based, drug-free treatment plan for the fifty million people who suffer from arthritis. Dr. Blum's amazing three-step guide explains how to eliminate the disease naturally. Do your joints ache or swell but you don't know why? Have you been diagnosed with any type of arthritis and want to treat the cause? Are you taking medication but still have symptoms? Do you find yourself feeling better but then your joint pain comes back for no apparent reason? Are you concerned about side effects from the over-the-counter pain relievers you take for your arthritis? Do you want to reduce your reliance on prescription medication to control your symptoms? Do you need guidance on what to eat to reduce inflammation and pain in your joints? Do your symptoms affect your sleep, ability to exercise, relationships, and/or quality of life? Does stress make your symptoms worse? Are you looking for a natural solution that will finally stop the endless pain and suffering from your arthritis? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this book is the "medicine" you need. Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the world--greater than both back pain and heart disease. Conventional medicine tends to treat arthritis with strong, gut-damaging, and immune-suppressing pain medications, temporarily relieving the symptoms of the disease without addressing its root causes. Dr. Blum's three-step protocol is designed to address the underlying cause of the condition and heal the body permanently by treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and more; healing your gut to heal your joints; and reducing inflammation without medication."--Jacket.
