However, my approach has always been to attempt to avoid this dreadful disease without resorting to drugs as it is quite clear from my sisters that they do not work long term & have caused so many side effects that I find it incredible that they still put so much faith in 'modern medicine'.
Margaret Hills' book just seemed to jump out at me when I was browsing on Amazon looking for books related to arthritis - like many people, I was rather sceptical - but there is something about this book that is quite enchanting - it is sooo 'not in your face' - does not 'shout out at you' = does not require you you spend a fortune on wacky foods - it is just so simple & written with such dignity & humility - reading it is almost a spiritual experience in itself.
Although I couldn't claim to have been in agonising pain before I started this diet - this was what I hoped to avoid - I was beginning to find things like getting out of bed in the morning quite difficult & painful - eg I had to walk around like a chimpanzee for a minute or so before straightening up & after driving for a while, getting out of the car was rather painful. Well - after about six weeks I now find that I just literallly 'get out of bed' & after driving for 2 hours last week I just literallly 'got out of the car' without walking 'like a chimp'. My husband, who had adopted a rather 'sceptical' attitude - has been pleasantly surprised & supportive - in fact the other day he (sheepishly - don't know why - perhaps it's a man thing!) asked me where the vinegar was.
I have sent this book to one of my sisters who is in so much pain that she will try anything - & I am confident that if she follows it, she will find some releif. My other sister is convinced that the medical profession would know alll about this if it worked! So we'll see.
I would recommend this lovely book to anyone.



Needles to say - none of this happened. This book changed my life.
At 18 I put put heart & soul into following the recommendations of this book. Within a couple of weeks I went off my meds (much to my md's disapproval mind you!) & have not looked back since. I have not had a flare up in 15 years (I am now 33)
I no longer follow everything in the book however a few things I have kept up with till this day one of which is avoiding citric fruits & drinks (this is crucial for me) the other being Epsom salt baths every now & then.
All I can say is buy this book - it will help you.
Drs don't know everything - there is a cure for Arthritis - you can take my word for it.
