For some arthritis sufferers, there is a dramatic and lasting improvement in which virtually all symptoms disappear. Patients who were once severely disabled by arthritis have been active and free from pain for as long as twelve years. But with so many diets on offer, which one should you try? And is diet likely to be useful for your particular form of arthritis? Should you take dietary supplements such as fish oils, calcium etc? Are they of any help? Could they cause problems? This is the only book which will answer such questions honestly and fully. Diet and Arthritis looks at different kinds of arthritis and what is known about them. It explains why some diets work for certain arthritic diseases - and why some diets are a waste of time. Authoritative and comprehensive, Diet and Arthritis will help arthritis sufferers everywhere.
