How to Eat Away Arthritis or Trauma Manual 4 E

How to Eat Away Arthritis

Author: Lauri M Aesoph

This revised and expanded edition of the perennially popular self-help book details how arthritis sufferers can improve their conditions with the foods they eat. Using the simple dietary procedures described in this book, readers can reverse some cases of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis without expensive drugs or equipment.

I found this to be a fascinating read. How To Eat Away Arthritis will be even more valuable to those who do deal with arthritis on a daily basis.—Alive Magazine

Library Journal

Numerous diet books are available for arthritics, but this appears to be one of the best and most comprehensive. Aesoph, a naturopathic physician and medical writer who has written many articles on this topic, covers both traditional and alternative resources. She gives natural dietary information that may reverse and certainly improve many cases of arthritis as well as other auto-immune diseases. Much of her material is not new, but it is refreshingly presented and useful to have compiled in one place. Aesoph discusses "restorative" foods as well as "stressor" food to avoid. She also explains food allergies, outlining simple methods to test for them, and gives medical references for her information. A better purchase than Philip Welsh and Leonardo Bianca's Freedom from Arthritis Through Nutrition (LJ 9/15/92), Aesoph's book is highly recommended for all health collections.

Reviewer: David J. Dries, MD (University of Minnesota Medical School)
Description: This is the fourth edition of a softbound guide to care of the injured patient.
Purpose: A pocket companion with the intent to provide broad scope of coverage is provided.
Audience: Students or trainees on a trauma rotation are an appropriate audience for this work. Editors represent trauma centers throughout the United States with occasional representation from Western Europe. Authors are widely recognized for their expertise.
Features: A comprehensive approach to trauma management is provided in this pocket-sized book. The 50 plus chapters are each approximately 10 pages in length. The book begins with an overview of trauma systems followed by general approaches to the injured patient, care of specific patterns of injury, and then related problems following trauma. Among the problems discussed are the confounding effects of age, drugs and alcohol, thermal injury syndromes, and radiation exposure. A final group of seven chapters covers some of the critical care issues surrounding the management of injury. Occasional use is made of figures and tables, but there are no photographs. References date to within two years of publication and may represent primary or secondary sources. The table of contents provides chapter titles while the detailed index includes separate citations for figures and tables.
Assessment: This manual follows the familiar and successful formula of the larger text, Trauma, 4th edition (McGraw Hill, 2000). Unlike many handbooks patterned after a parent text, however, this manual's presentations and references have been updated by the authors since the larger hardbound reference was published. I recommend the Trauma Manual for conciseness and clarity in presentation and consider this an effective pocket guide for the members of the trauma service.
