• Chapter One - What Is Arthritis?
  An explanation of the disease, and the many forms it can take

• Chapter Three - Conventional Treatments
  Conventional medicine doesn’t claim to cure arthritis, but to alleviate the pain and to eventually replace a joint once it has been badly damaged. In this chapter you will find an exhaustive overview of all conventional treatments, including the NSAID drug family, the COX-2s, and the second-line treatments, including the SAARDs/DMARDs such as gold, methotrexate, penicillamine, sulpasalazine, antimalarials, immunosuppressants, and steroids. There is also an explanation of joint replacement surgery, and the various techniques employed
• Chapter Four - Alternative Medicine
  The alternative and complementary therapies often claim to have the answer to arthritis, but how much credence can you place by these claims? In this chapter, we feature those therapies that have some evidence of helping arthritis, from the pain relief of acupuncture, to the herbal treatments and the homeopathic nosodes that have been tested in medical trials. The chapter includes an explanation of the copper bracelet, and how it may work
