by Bryan Emmerson (Author)
Anyone suffering from this distressing arthritic condition will fully appreciate the new edition of Getting Rid of Gout. Included in the new sections are updated dietary guidelines, including current research on the role of diet in preventing or aggravating gout, and a description of the new medications available for its treatment. Emmerson is a recognised authority on gout, and argues that if control of the elevated concentrations of uric acid can be achieved through either diet or medication modifications, gout attacks will cease and there will be no further complications. Written in a sympathetic manner with the aid of diagrams and cartoons, Getting Rid of Gout offers practical advice and dispels many of the popular fallacies about the nature and causes of gout.
