Summary

Arthritis and joint pain are common conditions, and while they are not life-threatening, there is no doubt that they can impact considerably on quality of life. While conventional medicine offers an array of painkilling drugs, there do not provide effective relief for everyone, and many medications have toxic side-effects some individuals are keen to avoid.

For those seeking an alternative to conventional approaches, help is at hand. Through his extensive research and experience with literally thousands of patients over the last 15 years, Dr John Briffa reveals the common causes of joint pain and arthritis, and how to combat them using natural, self-help strategies. In this audio Dr Briffa covers:

  • The two main forms of arthritis, and the features that set them apart
  • The potential underlying causes of joint inflammation (rheumatoid arthritis)
  • The tests that can be useful for pinpointing the cause of joint inflammation
  • The dietary changes that can help reduce inflammation in the joints
  • The natural supplements that can help combat 'wear and tear' arthritis, including glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate

    Dr Briffa is a lecturer, broadcaster, and an award-winning health writer. He is a former columnist for both the Daily Mail and the Observer and has contributed to over 80 magazines and newspapers in the UK and abroad. He has written six books on the subject of nutrition and natural health. He is in private practice in London, and his aim is to assist individuals identify and remedy the underlying cause of long-term symptoms and conditions. www.drbriffa.com

    Basic Information

    Found this to be a very basic explanation of the disease processes. Dr Briffa very keen to get the patient to take supplements. Not helpful as didn’t explain what the patient should do in the case of a flare up of symptoms....the obvious is to go back to the doctor... But what if the doctor can’t do anything? Nutrition takes time to take effect on the body. What if the patient is suffering and needs help there and then?
    As a patient suffering from both OA and RA, I’m not impressed with the information presented to me. Further research by Dr Briffa is definitely needed as well as help and info for the patient from the patient’s perspective!
