In my late 20's I was diagnosed with severe crippling rheumatoid arthritis and told to prepare for life in a wheelchair. For five years I was in constant pain in spite of daily medication. One day I found an early edition of this book and began the diet it describes. Within three weeks I was able to discontinue medication. As long as I stick to the diet I am still pain free. There is no sign of arthritis in my body. At age 52 I am more active and youthful than many women my age. I recommend that every arthritic read this book and try the diet. It gave me back my life and it might work for you, too.

I have been following the advice in this book for the past three weeks for a sore knee. I no longer take ibiprophen to control the pain { it didn't help much anyway } I also massage my knee with peanut oil which is an old Edgar Casey remedy for non-compliant clients. One or the other or both works.
The recipes are easy to follow. You get quite enough to eat with only fish and vegetables. And you lose weight. All my skirts pass the zipper test now { French Women Don't Get Fat }
I'mll thoroughly delighted with the book. I have looked for it for years and now it is mine.

I too suffered from crippling arthritis along with some bizarre food allergies. These problems came out of nowhere! After going from doctor to doctor I was told to take the anti inflammatory drugs and learn to live with arthritis. I found this book online and started immediatly. What a difference. After a few weeks I was free of pain and back to my old (not so old) self. I too lost weight, what a wonderful side effect! This was about 10 years ago. Buy this book and stick to it for a few weeks. No cheating! It's all great healthy food. What a difference it can make in your life.
