Don't be afraid of alternative therapies.
This book helped us understand the diverse views of the different arthritis treatments and offered good advice.My elderly aunt has been plagued with arthritis for years and hasn't always been willing to tryalternative treatments. As her pain progressed we convinced her to try theglucosamine and condroitan blends. She is seeing substantial improvements!Our daughter is taking it as a way to heal her back injuries due to anaccident. She no longer needs those heavy duty pain killers.An additionalsite that offers more documentation as well as these (and others)supplements is iHerb. They do a wonderful job at documenting the diversenutritional supplements they supply and their service is reliable. In fact,I think I first read about Theodosakis' books on their site. Treatarthritis naturally and see how much better you feel without those painkillers that make your mind fuzzy.

Outstanding coverage of all reasonable, effective treatments
This is an excellent, concise, highly usable book about ALL reasonable treatments that show merit and promise for treating arthritis, both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.Though the coverage of eachtreatment is remarkably brief and to-the-point, it avoids being just a"shopping list" of what to take; and manages to prioritize, inwell-reasoned arguments, what makes the most sense to try and why.Read more

Preventing & Reversing Arthritis Naturally
From what I have read so far I am finding this book very informative, it is a very good read so far.

Natural Alternatives
Preventing & Reversing Arthritis Naturally: The Untold Story by Raquel Martin and Dr. Karen Romano explain for us the basic ingredients necessary not only for good health in general, but specifically, for achieving freedom from arthritis. Arthritis
The Estrogen Alternative: Natural Hormone Therapy with Botanical Progesterone and Preventing & Reversing Arthritis Naturally: The Untold Story As an educator in the holistic health field who teaches 200-300 new students each year, I try to keep abreast of the vast number of new books that are constantly barraging the health arena. Every year my students ask me to recommend titles in various areas of holistic health and I need to know which select few in each field are the good ones. As both a Naturopath and Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist in private practice, I like to suggest books to my patients which are both informative, accurate, easy to read, and comprehensively cover their topic. 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. Her new book on natural therapies for arthritis is fantastic. Somehow, Raquel and her co-author, Dr. Karen Romano, have managed to supply the reader with a very useable amount of information in just about every single subject area related to arthritis. 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.Read more

Editorial Review

"We are the keepers of an intuitive intelligence so powerful it can tell us how to heal," writes psychiatrist and practicing intuitive Judith Orloff, M.D. "We all possess within us an intuitive healing code that contains the blueprints for our health and happiness, and for the survival of everything that is good here on earth." Her aim is to teach you how to tap into and train your own intuitive powers and use them for your well-being.She divides the book into three parts: "The Body," "Emotions and Relationships," and "Sexual Wellness." She teaches five steps to intuitive healing, which she defines as "listening to your body's signals--your inner voice and heart, your spiritual connection--to find out how to become more physically, emotionally, and sexually whole." According to Orloff, these steps apply to every health challenge, as well as every emotional and sexual issue: Read more

I highly recommend this book
Judith Orloff is a seminal figure who is bridging the gap between the wonders of Western medicine and the knowing that humanity had more access to when we were less mechanized and industrialized. In a world that has become so plasticized as to lose touch with the inner realm, her contribution has been consequential. That she is a well-credentialed and highly regarded psychiatrist (which requires one to be an MD), who uses all the tools that modern science has gifted us with, who also has a laboratory-tested gift for intuitive knowing, makes her uniquely worth listening to. The value she brings isn't dependent on her proving her case about her inner knowing, but comes from her telling you what can be known because she knows it -- you are getting a report from the front lines of inner space. Her rapid rise to great popularity as a speaker and workshop leader has been almost unprecedented, attesting to the chord she strikes with so many people who have felt safe, thanks to her, to come out of the closet with experiences that are not validated in our objectified modern worldview. Rather than being skeptical, it would behoove those who have relied only on the tools of science and technology to open themselves to the wisdom of this book.

Get your questions answered with this book

simple, comprehensive book (on a SICK SUBJECT)
strong points:i'm a therapist who has many patients taking psychiatric meds, and while i don't prescribe them myself (nor have any desire to), i do need to know at least a thumbnail sketch about most of them.this book does the trick for me.it avoids the irrelevant and obscure detail of the Physician's Desk Reference and hits on the necessary basics (dosages, side effects, dangers, potential "benefits", brand versus generic names - and it has a good index!). Helpful Information
For the person who is contemplating phsychiatric treatment, "medication" can have an intimidating impression especially if it is a foreign subject.The book will help you make you this important decision by giving you updated information on the newest prescription drugs.For those who are uncomfortable, alternatives and non-drug options are discussed as well.A wide range of psychiatric syndromes are covered: Anxiety disorders, ADD, Bipolar, Depression, Developmental disorders, Drug dependence, Eating disorders, Insomnia, Pshychosis, and even Alzheimer's Disease.A wide range is covered.. ...

EXCELLENT, MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, IT WORKS!!!!!
This book focuses on the fact that anyone's weight problem is only a *symptom* of a deeper imbalance. This holds true regardless of why you're overweight -- whether you think it's obecause you overeat or because it runs in the family or because you have an underactive thyroid. A wonderful book
I have read many weight loss books and this one really is the best.I first checked it out at local library and after reading it, decided that I must own this book for keeps! It's definitely worth reading...more than once!

The "TOTAL WELLNESS"
This book is not just about Weight Loss, it's about Total Wellness!! As it was mentioned several times in the book, the focus is on getting healthy and that will trigger the weight loss by itslef.Read more
