Arthritis – Help Yourself Now & Naturally

This book is not designed to replace conventional medicine, but rather to benefit the patients where conventional medicine has either failed, had too many side effects, or where there were no treatments. In some cases, these nutrient supplements are combined with conventional medicine to decrease the dosage of the medicines required and/or to decrease the side effects. Most cases only need the nutrients; however, in extreme cases, or in situations where the patients are under other stresses, it is sometimes necessary to coordinate the conventional medicines with nutrients and diet. The requirement for steroids is most often eliminated, except in acute attacks of inflammation in autoimmune diseases such as asthma or multiple sclerosis. Here the use of steroids for a short period of time is not only useful, but often mandatory and many times life-saving.
