Product Description
Three prominent health experts present what they believe is a medical miracle, tested over the course of four decades, that can help stop the pain and change the lives of the more than thirty-five million Americans who suffer from osteoarthritis. Tour.Amazon.com Review
The word "cure" in the title is a bitmisleading, but this book certainly makes a persuasive argument infavor of treating osteoarthritis with two common nutritionalsupplements--glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates--and following aprogram emphasizing better nutrition and exercise. The supplements arecommonly used in Europe and Asia, where they've been tested indouble-blind, placebo-controlled studies (the gold standard formedical research). They haven't been thoroughly tested in the UnitedStates, the authors contend, because drug companies can't patent thesupplements and thus won't fund the research. The book also contains achapter detailing a seven-step arthritis-prevention program. ... Read more

Basic Info that Can be Found on the Net
Much of this book is page filler, it advocates Glucosomine and Chondrodin Sulphate as its main "cure" and then talks about eating foods high in antioxidants (which is really old basic info that we can find in plenty of books and websites). It is also very repetative, I remember reading the same subject three times near the beginning (page filler.)

Although the book is helpful, especially for really ignorant newbies who hate the internet, it needs to be thinned out and the common knowledge parts taken out.

The Arthritis Cure : The Medical Miracle
I injured my knee around Labor Day and four months later I had minimal results with physical therapy and NSAIDs. My once active life had stopped, every activity I tried, even walking, aggravated my knee. I started on the Glucosomine and Chondrodin Sulphate program along with the vitamin supplements outlined in the book and had great results. After just a few weeks, I am able to hike and workout again. I feel better than I have in months! I know several friends on Glucosomine, but I felt better with the book outlining the dosage and other vitamins to compliment. I have not needed any NSAIDs since I started this therapy. I like that this program has almost no side effects and can help my injury without surgery. Try it for yourself, what do you have to lose but the pain?

Worthwhile and perhaps more
This was followed by Maximizing the Arthritis Cure (1998) which I'll also report on here, treating both books as one.My initial reaction was, this is either a public service or a hustle.Written by three differentlaureled academics and obviously put together by committee, this first bookwas a big time best seller and demanded a sequel.Most of the diet advicewas like something I had read twenty years ago.The exercise programditto.The use of glucosamine and chondroitin was the real difference.Infact, the purpose of the book could be seen as legitimizing the use ofthese supplements in the treatment of osteoarthritis.People bought thebook in the hope that it would help them with their pain.They also boughtthe book so that they would be motivated to try glucosamine andchondroitin.Many people understandably would not try the supplementswithout the seal of approval provided by an authoritative book like this. The question is-and it is the big question-is their program any good, or isit just another feel good pep talk fronting for another bogus approach? Iwas a little uncertain since the book jacket was red, white and blue, andwe all know the quote about patriotism being "the last refuge of ascoundrel."

So I tried glucosamine and chondroitin and stayed fairlyclose to their overall program.Two years have passed and although Icannot say for certain, it is my belief that the supplements are valuable. At any rate, my arthritic knee is much improved.

In the follow-up book,the authors give information on other treatments.

I have to say that Ithink they've done a positive service in writing these two books.Theinformation about healing in general and about prevention and about thepositive effects of exercise and attitude are worthwhile.The authors mayhave made megabucks (or maybe they didn't), but I don't feel they rippedanybody off, on the contrary.I am happy to be positive even though Istill think "cure" is probably too strong a word for what their program cando, although I only have my own experience to go on.Their reports of thedouble blind tests that have been conducted are good, but a long way fromconvincing proof that glucosamine and chrondoitin and exercises can cureosteoarthritis.

The Arthritis Cure
After reading this book by Dr. Theodosakis, I recommended it tomy grandmother and 35 year-old girlfriend, both of whom haveosteoarthritis.Not only has it lessened grandma's pain, but also her depression has largely lifted.My friend, who is a fellow registered nurse, was thrilled that she was able to stop taking acetaminophen following her second month of taking glucosamine and chondroitin.She believes the dietary changes she made after reading the book were also helpful toward making her body more supple, like a slinky.I was indeed surprised to find some negative comments written by readers.Perhaps they were victims of the many fraudulent products our there with insufficient quantities of glucosamine and chondroitin in them.I found Dr. Theo's website to be very helpful in learning more about specific good and bad products.I will continue to recommend this book to anyone and everyone who tells me that they suffer from arthritis.There is hope!END

The Arthritis Cure : The Medical Miracle That Can Halt, Reve
I found this book an excellent presentation on glucosamine, chondroitin, the various surgical options, advice about exercise and diet (the importance of weight loss, etc). For me it seems to be working asadvertised. I have osteoarthritus of the hip and knee and am seeingnoticeable improvements.I have a friend that is a physical therapist andshe has been using glucosamine/chondroitin and has noticed significantimprovements in the use of her ankle and her ability to walk. Certainlyglucosamine/chondroitin are not replacements for everthing as diet/weightloss are also extremely important. I recommend this book highly. ... Read more
