As a practicing Chiropractor for 21 years, I can attest to the efficacy of Dr. Campbell's advice. I have treated dozens of arthritics his way and without exception, pain and inflammation are gone within a week, and the patient is on the road to recovery from there. And, most important, without the use of drugs. How the medical profession can continue to lead patients on, telling them there's nothing they can do for themselves, is nothing short of criminal. I sincerely hope this book will be reprinted.

Before the great work of Dr. Alan Ebringer at Kings College, London, this fellow--Dr. Giraud Campbell--found the cure using sound scientific methodology. The answers are now clear, and especially for Ankylosing Spondylitis. Breads and starches must be eliminated for the types of bacterial growth they promote within the digestive system. His diet almost totally eliminates starches although he did not know exactly why it worked--in the late '60s.

I have recommended this book to many, and was saddened that it is out of print now, for the information is still urgently needed by sufferers with the honest desire to become EX-sufferers.

Here I am, just turned 41 and hobbling to work is getting too damn painful. I've been to the doctors and they have given me steroids to knock out the pain and in the end not even that worked. I have rheumatoid arthritis and It was pretty depressing. This book turned it all around. This is the cure. Perhaps a tough one for some, but it works if you follow what the books instructions. If I had paid $1000 dollars for this book, it still would have been well worth it Thanks to the authors, you gave me my life back!!!

Dr. Campell's book is not for those who want to just take a shot or a pill for their arthritis pain. If you really want to get rid of the arthritis agony (intense pain, swelling, heat), then Dr. Campbell's book can help you. However, be prepared to change your diet dramatically if you're eating the typical over-processed American diet. Get ready for whole, natural, fresh, delicious, un-processed foods - because they're going to make your life so much better - Dr. Campbell explains how in this excellent book! Dr. Campbell illustrates in his book how proper diet can even help 'rebuild' joints that were initially deteriorated from arthritis. Finally, get ready to get rid of all the arthritis drugs and pain killers that are doing more damage to your body every day- and get ready to live the full life again. If it sounds like I'm a fan of this book, you're absolutely right. My two year's of agony with arthritis - and trying everything under the sun to stop the pain - ended within only a few days of my following Dr. Campbell's advice. So, when you're ready to stop the pain- and to start living - buy, read and use Dr. Campbell's book.

At the time this book came into my hands, I was 19 years old and in excruciating all-over joint pain from the rheumatoid arthritis I'd had since aged nine. I was bed-ridden at the time and hardly wanting to eat but I started the diet recommended in the book and within three weeks I was pain free and have remained so. I went on to become a journalist and mother. I only wish that I had had this book as a resource when I was nine and those awful years of pain and joint damage could have been avoided. I am totally grateful to the author of this book and highly recommend it to those searching for arthritis self-help knowledge.

This book differs from other arthritis books in offering not only improvement but actual cure. The before and after X-rays show reduction of bony overgrowth and increase of space in the joint - a dramatic result. What is not so clear is the reasoning behind the ban on bread. Is this on account of the chemicals used in crop production and commercial baking or is gluten the enemy? On page 66 we are told that flour is out unless organically grown. (Organic flour and bread is now available.) On page 202 we are warned of the dangers of gluten, which has not been mentioned before. I would like to ask for: 1 Comments from the author 2 Experiences from any followers of the diet 3 Is there any practitioner of this system working in Britain?

After living with debilitating pain for so many years I am very pleased with the results after having removed starch from my diet. I used to be in constant pain and barely able to walk (despite strong medication), whilst now I can actually run again :-).. and no more need for the pain killers / NSAID's [woohoo].

By the way, the mechanism involved in the diet involves eliminating starch, thus the diet now referred to as the 'No Starch Diet' or the 'Low Starch Diet'.

As an ank spon sufferer, low starch diets are a tremendous help

My uncle in England passed this book along to my mother in Australia in the early 1990s. He said it had cured his arthritis and wanted my mother to help herself with the book. Mum passed it on to me. At the time I was in my late 30s and had arthritis in my hands and hips. I had started the book a few times but had stopped reading it each time I came to the part that said, "If you're not willing to give up tea and coffee, put this book down now." It wasn't that bad; I could live with it, I thought.

A couple of years later and it was painful to knit. The change came when I decided to go to an introductory Aikido class. I loved it but both my hips became remarkably painful within 30 minutes and I needed to walk with canes for the next few weeks. That's when I decided I had to get past that page!

I'm glad I did. Within 3 weeks I was off the canes and knitting again. Now, nearly 20 years later, I still have no symptoms of arthritis and I stick to a modified form of the diet (because that is the heart of the treatment).

What I found remarkable were the before and after x-rays. Dr. Campbell does not make light claims; he backs it up with x-rays and patient testimonials. He says that the only people his book can't help are those who have had gold injections(!).

I found some of the dietary recommendations a little hard to swallow (literally), but I just adapted where I could and I still ended up with no pain, no swelling, and no symptoms for the last 18 years.

Well worth a read.

PLEASE try this program as I did 27 years ago at 30 after having to resort to gold injections and then relapsing. Prior to the book I was bedridden for 4 months-friends had to pry my jaws open to brush my teeth.
After two days on the program I could get out of bed, much experimentation
and TIME later, I was A-1! The "friend of an arthritic person",who panned this approach hasn't a clue about pain or time things may take for some people. At their request I have spoken at the Arthritis Foundation and learned some people just cannot try to do without doctors and meds. I had to beg my doc to stay with me so I could have the proper blood tests. PLEASE TRY THIS-"arthur" visits when I overdo, but it is NOT "my"
arthritis-I wouldn't own it for anything. Good luck and good living to you.
