Summary: Somewhat outdated, good general review
Comment: I have several books on Rheumatoid Arthritis, purchased since diagnosed two years ago. While this book spends half the time on Osteoarthritis, and the other half on Rheumatoid Arthritis, it still managed to give me a few new pieces of information. Good discussion of the stages of the disease in the joints. However, being written in 2001, some of the medications described, while still current, have had some very negative press, and even been pulled off the market due to fatal side effects. The section on nutritional supplementation was pretty minimal, tho it confirmed another book I have that goes into much more detail about anti inflammatory and anti oxidant use to combat flares. No mention of Leaky Gut...which has been widely acknowledged as a key contributor to the development of RA.

Summary: Harvard Physician Demystifies Arthritis
Comment: This brilliant Harvard physician has written a comprehensive, well organized presentation which encompasses the etiology, treatment and classification of the various types of arthritis. This book could only have been written by a doctor with absolute understanding of the subject matter. It is clearly presented in a practical no nonsense format, which allows the reader to find data on any aspect of the disease in a matter of minutes. It is up to date, presenting all of the medication options right up to and including the latest Cox 2 inhibitors and TNF blockers, as well as the various surgical procedures and alternative treatments.This book is a must have for any patient who is trying to overcome this debilitating and painful disease, and for any doctor who is treating such patients in his or her practice. It is a source of hope that with proper treatment arthritis can be managed in a way that allows the patient to pursue a normal and active life, without becoming disabled. Thank you Dr. Weinblatt. Good job.
