ARTHRITIS-BUSTERS THAT PUT YOU BACK IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
Why should you suffer a minute longer when newer, better, safer ways
to live with arthritis are available right now? The Johns Hopkins
White Papers are written expressly for YOU, the intelligent layman,
not for someone with an M.D. or Ph.D. You get the facts you need,
along with clear and specific recommendations from Johns Hopkins
specialists.
THE JOHNS HOPKINS WHITE PAPERS 2008: ARTHRITIS will serve as your
"early alert" to information that might not reach you through other
books or media on arthritis for YEARS. Learn about:
* The treatment that was once considered a questionable alternative
remedy but is now an accepted part of conventional medicine for
topical pain relief. (page 25).
* The latest effective treatments for osteoarthritis. Find new hope
for slowing the damage to your joints, controlling pain and protecting
your mobility.
* The key questions your doctor needs to ask to help you diagnose
your symptoms correctly if you suspect you have arthritis. (page 10)
* New techniques under development right now that could make joint
replacement easier, safer and less of an ordeal for you.
* Heat, or ice? Expert advice on pages 16 and 17 help you decide
which one to apply to reduce swelling or relieve pain.
* 7 criteria used by doctors to identify and diagnose rheumatoid
arthritis. (page 43)
* Your drug options, and what to do if you're not getting sufficient
arthritis pain relief from acetaminophen or NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal
Anti-Inflammatory Drug) for your osteoarthritis, and your doctor says
it's time for something stronger.
But wait, there's still more:
* Special precautions so you don't set yourself up for bursitis.
(page 68)
* The latest thinking on injectible gold for rheumatoid arthritis.
(pages 56 to 57)
A note of precaution before you take advice on anything to do with
arthritis--or any aspect of your health, for that matter:
Be sure you consider the source. Check the credentials of the
experts before accepting any of their explanations or recommendations.
There are too many hucksters and scam artists out there who prey on
those in pain who are vulnerable to their promises.
Direct to you from the Medical Center ranked #1 of America's Best
Hospitals
For 18 consecutive years, the Johns Hopkins Hospital has headed the
list of America's Best Hospitals, as reported in _U.S. News & World
Report_. You simply won't find a more knowledgeable and trustworthy
source of the medical information you require.
A tradition of discovery and medical innovation is the hallmark of
Johns Hopkins research. Hopkins has no equal in the development of new
knowledge, new techniques, and new technologies for improved patient
care. The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine receives more funding from
the National Institutes of Health than any other medical school in
America.
Since its founding in 1889, The Johns Hopkins Hospital has led the
way transferring the discoveries made in the laboratory to the
administration of effective patient care.
It was a team of Johns Hopkins surgeons who performed the world's
first total knee replacement in 1971. No one has done more to earn the
trust of the millions of men and women diagnosed with arthritis.
What's true? What's wishful thinking?
What's just advertising hoopla and hype?
How much do you really know about controlling arthritis symptoms? So
much of what's written in the popular press or advertised on radio and
TV has very little to do with what Johns Hopkins doctors know works
best.
TRUE OR FALSE: You've heard that distance runners are destined to
develop osteoarthritis. Will years of pounding really wear out an
athletic person's joints?
TRUE OR FALSE: When the COX-2 inhibitors, Vioxx and Bextra, were
pulled off the market for causing cardiovascular problems, arthritis
sufferers were deprived of an entire class of drugs that provided
better pain relief than NSAIDs.
TRUE OR FALSE: A naturally-occurring compound called SAMe, found in
all living cells, offers us an important new tool for controlling
arthritis symptoms.
TRUE OR FALSE: Since rheumatoid arthritis "runs in the family," it
means that your children run a high risk of developing it if you have
the genetic marker for the disease.
TRUE OR FALSE: Gout, often called "the disease of kings," is caused
by a diet rich in purines, which are found in alcohol and certain
meats and seafoods.
Surprise! The answer to each question is "false." Find out the
truth, with the research behind it, when you order THE 2008 ARTHRITIS
WHITE PAPER, available right now as an INSTANT DOWNLOAD so you can
start taking control of your health TODAY. All for only $24.95 (US).
With a 100% money-back guarantee.
Every day we're bombarded with health headlines. Johns Hopkins
experts act as your filter to sort helpful from hype. You will be
astonished how much is truly NEW about treating arthritis. Among the
eye-opening new information in THE 2008 ARTHRITIS WHITE PAPER:
* Why old-fashioned aspirin, the oldest NSAID on the market, is once
again looking like a good choice for certain individuals.
* The latest news on Remicade. (pages 58 to 59)
* The antibiotic that may slow joint damage in the early stages of
rheumatoid arthritis, although scientists aren't yet sure how it
works.
* How long you can expect your new hip or knee implants to last.
(page 61)
Regardless of where you live, or how far you are from America's
#1-rated Best Hospital, you deserve to know about the latest drugs,
innovative procedures, new treatment options--especially now that we
have so many ways to not just relieve arthritis pain, but actually
slow the progression of the disease.
You can use your copy of THE JOHNS HOPKINS WHITE PAPER 2008:

Can any of those "Amazing Miracle Cures"
make you feel like a 25-year-old again?

up lotions and potions, supplements, devices and dietary aids, even
magnets and jewelry, all claiming to erase arthritis aches and pains.
Do any of the nutritional or herbal products you see advertised
really work? Which ones? Should you give them a try? And what's the
safest way to get started with the lowest risk of side effects?

treatment, and which types don't seem to be affected at all?
