Curing Arthritis: The Drug-free Way [Overcoming Common Problems] [Paperback]

However, my approach has always been to attempt to avoid this dreadful disease without resorting to drugs as it is quite clear from my sisters that they do not work long term and have caused so many side effects that I find it incredible that they still put so much faith in 'modern medicine'.

Margaret Hills' book just seemed to jump out at me when I was browsing on Amazon looking for books related to arthritis - like many people, I was rather sceptical - but there is something about this book that is quite enchanting - it is sooo 'not in your face' - does not 'shout out at you' = does not require you you spend a fortune on wacky foods - it is just so simple and written with such dignity and humility - reading it is almost a spiritual experience in itself.

Although I couldn't claim to have been in agonising pain before I started this diet - this was what I hoped to avoid - I was beginning to find things like getting out of bed in the morning quite difficult and painful - eg I had to walk around like a chimpanzee for a minute or so before straightening up and after driving for a while, getting out of the car was rather painful. Well - after about six weeks I now find that I just literally 'get out of bed' and after driving for 2 hours last week I just literally 'got out of the car' without walking 'like a chimp'. My husband, who had adopted a rather 'sceptical' attitude - has been pleasantly surprised and supportive - in fact the other day he (sheepishly - don't know why - perhaps it's a man thing!) asked me where the vinegar was.

I have sent this book to one of my sisters who is in so much pain that she will try anything - and I am confident that if she follows it, she will find some releif. My other sister is convinced that the medical profession would know all about this if it worked! So we'll see.

I would recommend this lovely book to anyone.

An Xray confirmed my doctor's diagnosis of arthritis of the hip. "Take these pain killers", he said. "When they don't work any longer we will give you an artificial joint".

Deeply shocked, and before returning home, I visited my nearest bookstore. Margaret Hills paperback "Curing Artiritis the drug free way" jumped off the shelf at me. I read it from cover to cover then started to implement her teachings. Four years laterer, my hip is pain free, my lifetime back trouble but a memory, and increasingly bad tinnitus has subsided. I still have the original painkillers prescribed, unused.

Everyone over age 25 should understand the teachings of this book. If the medical profession studied the effects of food with the reverence they accorded drugs, untold misery and millions in unnecessary hospital expenses would be saved.

The effects of eating certain popular foods regularly can be devastating. Tobacco is a killer, the label on the packet says so. Where is the label warning of crippling arthritis on the tomato sauce, the baked beans in tomato sauce, the spaghetti in tomato sauce, the pasta in...., etc.Regular concentrated orange juice,sultanas, plumbs, wine etc. all artificially high in acid can cause chaos to our bodies. Margaret Hills' book explains what happens and why. She can also be contacted at Coventry to clarify any points not understood. Details in the book will reverse the ravages of excess bad foods paraded as 'good for you'. Her advice can restore your mobility, remove your pain and allow you to live once again. But it. Read it. Then Act upon it!
