So I tried glucosamine and chondroitin and stayed fairly close to their overall program. Two years have passed and although I cannot say for certain, it is my belief that the supplements are valuable. At any rate, my arthritic knee is much improved.
In the follow-up book, the authors give information on other treatments.
I have to say that I think they've done a positive service in writing these two books. The information about healing in general and about prevention and about the positive effects of exercise and attitude are worthwhile. The authors may have made megabucks (or maybe they didn't), but I don't feel they ripped anybody off, on the contrary. I am happy to be positive even though I still think "cure" is probably too strong a word for what their program can do, although I only have my own experience to go on. Their reports of the double blind tests that have been conducted are good, but a long way from convincing proof that glucosamine and chrondoitin and exercises can cure osteoarthritis.
After reading Dr. Theo's book, my doctor and I decided to try to implement the program of nutrition and exercise, as well as the use of Chondroitin and Glucosamine, as outlined in "Maximizing the Arthritis Cure." All I can say is THANK YOU DR. THEO!
The book was well written, clear and concise. Dr. Theo has a great ability to turn medical jargon into easily understood layman's terms. He provides many useful insights as well as answers to the questions I've been asking all along.
I have seen many doctors, most of whom prescribed pain-killers and anti-inflammatory drugs. I was tired of getting the runaround and tired of hearing "You'll just have to live with it". Dr. Theo shows us a better way. If you or anyone you know has arthritis, you must read this book!
