Pain-Free Arthritis: A 7-Step Plan for Feeling Better Again
Author: Harris H McIlwain
A pain-relief expert reveals a proven and unique seven-step program for alleviating arthritis pain
Although sixty-six million American adults suffer from arthritis, Pain-Free Arthritis is the first book by an established rheumatologist to present an effective program to alleviate its often incapacitating pain. Over the last twenty years, Harris H. McIlwain has treated thousands of arthritis-pain sufferers who have found lasting relief by following his program. Scientists have learned a great deal about the mechanisms and types of arthritis in the last few years, and McIlwain has distilled this information to its practical essence: the entirety of this book is geared not toward explanation but toward relief.
The program created by McIlwain shows readers how to eliminate arthritis pain through
- preventative and therapeutic exercise
- a low-fat, anti-inflammatory diet
- alternative therapies that really work
- the latest prescription drugs
Victims of any variety of arthritis will find concrete, feasible suggestions enabling them to resume a normal, active life. Now McIlwain's successful methods are made available to all arthritis sufferers for the first time.
Publishers Weekly
With nearly 70 million people in the U.S. afflicted with some type of arthritis, the search for effective treatments has intensified over the past few years. Here, McIlwain, a rheumatologist and founder of the Tampa Medical Group, offers a comprehensive and clear overview of the treatments including exercise, diet, drugs and alternative therapies. According to McIlwain, the first step for most patients is to start an exercise program, whether it be walking or more strenuous activities. Many people suffering from arthritis are overweight, making it difficult for them to exercise. However, the combination of weight loss and exercise often provides immense relief. McIlwain's advice regarding diet is equally sensible-there isn't one cure-all or one food that should be avoided. He advises eating, more frequently, meals composed of more fresh vegetables and foods with low-glycemic levels such as soybeans and lentils. His suggestions to avoid certain trigger foods that may worsen certain symptoms are helpful. The author also discusses alternative treatments such as chiropractic, massage and acupuncture, and offers an excellent box on "Choosing a Practitioner and Therapy." This is a very useful book, particularly for people who have not found relief from a variety of treatments. The writing is clear and the author doesn't "oversell" one treatment over another. The weakest part of the book is the recipe section, which seems to be an afterthought. (Sept.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
Library Journal
Practicing rheumatologist McIlwain (Bone Boosters; Stop Osteoarthritis Now) here teams with medical writer Bruce for this solid entry in a nearly saturated field. Like Miriam E. Nelson and others' Strong Men and Women Beat Arthritis and Robert S. Ivker and Todd Nelson's Arthritis Survival, this work offers an integrative program of self-management rather than one based solely upon drug treatment. Each book has a particular strength, Nelson's being exercises, Ivker's being alternative therapies, and McIlwain's being nutrition/recipes (included are over 50 recipes "high in healing nutrients for arthritis patients"). In the important areas of lifestyle changes, McIlwain is more detailed than Nelson, though not as detailed as Ivker. Both Nelson and McIlwain cover vitamins and supplements in similar fashion (though they are not as in-depth as Ivker); Nelson's inclusion of cost information in her assessment of the latest treatments is especially welcome. Nelson's approach to complementary therapies is less enthusiastic than Ivker's; McIlwain strides the middle ground here. McIlwain also usefully addresses special situations, e.g., childhood arthritis. Given its price, content, and readability, McIlwain's book will round out a general consumer-health collection, but it will not replace Nelson's or Ivker's works.
