Healing arthritis : your 3-step guide to conquering arthritis naturally / by Blum, Susan S.; Bender, Michele,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-330) and index."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.Part 1: What kind of arthritis do you have?.

The global pain crisis : what everyone needs to know / by Foreman, Judy,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.What is chronic pain? -- Who is hardest hit by chronic pain? -- The opioid mess in the United States -- The opioid mess worldwide -- Marijuana -- Western medicine treatments for chronic pain -- Complementary and alternative medicine treatments for chronic pain -- The way forward -- Appendix I : Resources -- Appendix II : Treatments for pain."Tens of millions of people around the world live with chronic pain - many in such severe pain they are disabled by it. The Institute of Medicine estimates that chronic pain costs the U.S. alone $560 to $635 billion a year in direct medical costs and lost productivity. Morphine, an effective painkiller, costs only three cents a dose, yet because of excessive regulation in many countries, it is unavailable to millions of people who need it, even at the end of life. The World Health Organization notes that in addition to the one million end-stage AIDS/HIV patients who can't get morphine and other controlled medications, 5.5 million terminal cancer patients, nearly a million people suffering from accidents or violence, and an incalculable number of people living with chronic illnesses or recovering from surgery don't have access to it, either. Furthermore, women, children, older people, and the poor are disproportionally affected by inadequate pain relief. Physicians know almost nothing about chronic pain, much less how to treat it, for two reasons: medical schools barely teach it and government institutions allot almost nothing to the pain research budget. In the Global Pain Crisis: What Everyone Needs to Know, renowned health journalist Judy Foreman addresses the most important questions about chronic pain: what is it, whom does it affect most, which pain relief methods in Western and alternative medicine are effective, what are the risks and benefits for opioids and marijuana, and how can the chronic pain crisis be resolved for good?"--Page 4 of cover.
