I picked this book up about 5 years ago and have faithfully stuck to my daily intake of chondroitin and glucosamine. Most of my pain and stiffness has dissappeared and I was able to sit in theatres, long haul flights, play tennis and ski again which I think is a minor miracle!

It may not work for everyone, it did for me and dozens of people I have recommended this method to. It is certainly worth trying. You can shop around and buy your minerals economically. YOu should not be paying much more than £8 for 60 capsules of 500 & 400 mgs.

Review: This book is an eyeopener to the benefits of homeopathic treatment for osteoarthritis, having researched the content and tested the remedies there is an obvious marked improvement in my husband's condition, having suffered from years of taking prescribed drugs (NSAIDS - Non Steroidal anti-inflammitary drugs) which although relieving pain, at the same time produced unpleasant and unwelcome side effects. The book is well written and well documented, easy to understand and I am delighted to have found it at Amazon, so much so that I have purchased another copy as a gift for a relative as I am astounded at the results so far. A good buy and a must for those suffering OA

Review: Much of this book is page filler, it advocates Glucosomine and Chondrodin Sulphate as its main "cure" and then talks about eating foods high in antioxidants (which is really old basic info that we can find in plenty of books and websites). It is also very repetative, I remember reading the same subject three times near the beginning (page filler.)

Although the book is helpful, especially for really ignorant newbies who hate the internet, it needs to be thinned out and the common knowledge parts taken out.

Review: I injured my knee around Labor Day and four months later I had minimal results with physical therapy and NSAIDs. My once active life had stopped, every activity I tried, even walking, aggravated my knee. I started on the Glucosomine and Chondrodin Sulphate program along with the vitamin supplements outlined in the book and had great results. After just a few weeks, I am able to hike and workout again. I feel better than I have in months! I know several friends on Glucosomine, but I felt better with the book outlining the dosage and other vitamins to compliment. I have not needed any NSAIDs since I started this therapy. I like that this program has almost no side effects and can help my injury without surgery. Try it for yourself, what do you have to lose but the pain?

Review: After reading this book by Dr. Theodosakis, I recommended it tomy grandmother and 35 year-old girlfriend, both of whom haveosteoarthritis. Not only has it lessened grandma's pain, but also her depression has largely lifted. My friend, who is a fellow registered nurse, was thrilled that she was able to stop taking acetaminophen following her second month of taking glucosamine and chondroitin. She believes the dietary changes she made after reading the book were also helpful toward making her body more supple, like a slinky. I was indeed surprised to find some negative comments written by readers. Perhaps they were victims of the many fraudulent products our there with insufficient quantities of glucosamine and chondroitin in them. I found Dr. Theo's website to be very helpful in learning more about specific good and bad products. I will continue to recommend this book to anyone and everyone who tells me that they suffer from arthritis. There is hope! END

Review: I found this book an excellent presentation on glucosamine, chondroitin, the various surgical options, advice about exercise and diet (the importance of weight loss, etc). For me it seems to be working as advertised. I have osteoarthritus of the hip and knee and am seeing noticeable improvements. I have a friend that is a physical therapist and she has been using glucosamine/chondroitin and has noticed significant improvements in the use of her ankle and her ability to walk. Certainly glucosamine/chondroitin are not replacements for everthing as diet/weight loss are also extremely important. I recommend this book highly.
