Publisher's summary

Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the world - greater than both back pain and heart disease. One example, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is the most common autoimmune disease, affecting 1 percent of the US population and almost 68 million people worldwide. Conventional medicine tends to treat arthritis with strong, gut-damaging, immune-suppressing pain medications, temporarily relieving the symptoms of the disease without addressing its root causes.

Now, in her groundbreaking new book, Dr. Susan Blum, a leading expert in functional medicine, offers a better approach to healing arthritis permanently. Dr. Blum's groundbreaking three-step protocol is designed to address the underlying causes of the condition and heal the body permanently by:

  • Treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and more
  • Healing your gut to heal your joints
  • Reducing inflammation without medication

Featuring detailed case studies, including Dr. Blum's own inspiring personal story, Healing Arthritis offers a revolutionary way to heal your gut, repair your immune system, control inflammation, and live a happier, healthier life...arthritis-free.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Good Information

I really enjoyed it.. sometimes to much info, science, that I didn't understand. I just wanted to get to the part of"what do I need to do to start feeling better"
Overall it is great information and I'm excited to see the outcome!

If you were looking for a clear roadmap this is not the book.

This is not the book for a lay person who is simply looking for an actionable guide to curing your arthritis.
The author goes on and on about all of her successes and research but it was impossible to wade through all that and get a clear list of things to do in spite of the fact that she kept promising that we would learn how to do it in later chapters.
I am not unfamiliar with the role that probiotics and different foods play in our gut health… and how her gut health is directly responsible for inflammation and arthritis… And yet I just couldn't find anywhere in this book that gave me a clear path to curing this problem.

The PDF just consist of a bunch of recipes instead of a food list, nowhere did I see a probiotic list.

Very disappointment

Listening to detailed health terms easier than reading them!

At first the reading was robotic but the technical health terms were easier to understand. Great info to start me on my research into the rheumatoid arthritis I’ve been ignoring. I’ve already made lots of dietary changes but the supplements sound helpful. Glad I chose this book!

Exactly What I Needed

First of all, I admire the author for her experience with her own arthritis, her medical degree and patient healing.This book puts together all the diet guidelines I’ve followed in pieces, without full success. I believe Dr. Blum has nailed it. I will be ordering the book to have easier access to the recommended supplements and mind-body resources. Well worth the listening!

Unethical

Full of poor quality studies and had to listen to so much unhelpful information to get to nothing! I’d be very nervous to take all the supplements and herbs recommended, as there is little data to support their use or safety!
