Arthritis: Drug-Free Alternatives to Prevent and Reverse Arthritis

by Lynne McTaggart (Editor)

Overview

An expert on alternative medicine provides drug-free methods for preventing, reducing, and reversing the effects of arthritis

Arthritis has reached pandemic levels in the western world. It is one of the most common diseases associated with old age—and one of the biggest causes of disability at any time of life. But aside from suppressing the pain and inflammation, there is little that conventional medicine can do.

Thankfully, there are other options. In this book, Lynne McTaggart—the international bestselling author behind the What Doctors Don’t Tell You magazine—draws from decades of research on alternative medicine to show arthritic patients that there is hope. From new diets and herbal remedies to exercises and mind-over-matter techniques, she guides you through the many ways you can relieve pain, improve movement, and even reverse the effects of arthritis without conventional medicine. This is an excellent resource for anyone who feels overwhelmed by life with arthritis and wants to make the most informed health decisions possible.
