HEALTH / ARTHRITIS "This book contains a wealth of practical information that can bring dramatic improvement to those suffering from arthritis. Raquel Martin emphasizes that when a multidisciplinary approach that draws upon natural therapies is used, arthritis sufferers are able to diminish--and often arrive at a cure for--their suffering." --John Hart, M.D. "I enthusiastically recommend this book, not only for people with arthritis, but for anyone who wishes to explore new ways to achieve optimum health. I also recommend it to my colleagues who would like to learn more about nutrition, phytonutrients, and alternative or complementary medicine." --Ralph C. Lee, M.D. "Ever since I first discovered Raquel's book The Estrogen Alternative, it has been my first choice for books to educate both students and patients on the topic of alternatives to prescription hormone replacement therapy. . . . Well, she's done it again. This book is an astounding encyclopedia of useable information, and it succeeds in making every other book I have read on arthritis unnecessary. This one book has it all." --David Getoff, N.D., Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist Each year thousands of people struggling with the debilitating effects of arthritis hear their doctors say that they will just have to learn to live with the pain.
