Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
No longer content with merely warning patients about possibly dangerous treatments, the Arthritis Foundation has compiled a valuable guide "to the most-used complementary therapies for arthritis." Many experts in the fields of arthritis and alternative therapies contributed information to this thorough and well-organized book, which stresses the combination of conventional Western medicine and alternative therapies. Each chapter "describes the therapy and how it is used, the scientific evidence about the therapy, expert opinion of the therapy, how to find a practitioner, what the therapy costs, [and] resources on how and where to learn more." The work relies heavily on biomedical scientific data, which should appeal to health professionals seeking information on the efficacy of specific therapies. Appendixes cover basic information on different forms of arthritis and provide extensive lists of citations, recommended readings, and web sites. Nicely illustrated and neatly laid out, this is recommended for all consumer health collections.--Lisa McCormick, Jewish Hosp. Lib., Cincinnati Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

    Reliable information about controversial treatments

    There are so many charlatans and quick-buck artists who claim to have cured arthritis that it's hard to know who to believe. The author of this book isn't selling anything but information, and has done an impressive amount of research on what we can and can't believe about acupuncture, herbs, magnets, and a host of other unconventional treatments. Most doctors don't know what to say about all this because they haven't had time to research it. Horstman did the research, and came up with hundreds of scientific studies that help sort out the merits of these approaches. It's an excellent resource for anyone with arthritis who wants to take a more active role in his or her own care.
