Product Description

Book Description
A concise but comprehensive book on gout for the lay reader

Product Description
Anyone suffering from this traumatic arthritic condition will fully appreciate the new edition of Getting Rid Of Gout. Included in the new sections are updated dietary guidelines, including current research on the role of diet in preventing gout, and a description of the new medications available for its treatment. Bryan Emmerson, a recognised authority on gout, argues that if control of the elevated concentrations of uric acid can be achieved through either diet or medication modifications, gout attacks will cease and there will be no further complications. He goes on to outline how effective prevention of gout requires sufferers to understand their condition, one that can be a result of both genetic and lifestyle factors. Written in an understandable and sympathetic manner with the aid of diagrams and cartoons, Getting Rid of Gout offers sensible advice and dispels the popular fallacies about the nature and causes of gout.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too medical, 1 April 2005
By James Belton "jamesbelton" (Oxfordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I was first diagnosed with gout I knew very little about it. Several attacks later and I was desparate to know what was causing it and how to avoid or get rid of it. The title of this book suggested that it might have the answer, and that it might, if you can get through the highly medical nature of the text. The book explains what gout is but not in laymans terms and the 'getting rid of' emphasis seems to be on what drugs you can take from your doctor. I was very disappointed to find that there is little dietary information regarding what foods to avoid or eat, which is how I have since tried to control my gout with some success, using information from other sources. A reasonable read if you can cut through the medical terms but I found it hard going and ultimately frustrating.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much scientific detail, 20 Aug 2003
By A Customer
The only way I could understand this book was to read the short summaries at the end of each chapter. Mr Emmerson obviously knows a lot about gout, but he doesn't possess the skill to convey that knowledge to the general population. Such a shame.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Scientific, 30 Aug 2002
By Mark Finch (Aberdeen United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Highly technical - rather hard to understand but full of the science if that's what you're looking for.

I do agree with the other reviewers of this book that it is one of the more technical books on the subject and may not suit everyone. Read more
