Description
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that affects over 34 million Americans, with a million new cases each year. This book is the account of the search of the cause of this excruciatingly painful, crippling illness, and the discovery of a safe, cheap, and effective treatment by which the disease can be controlled and reversed. Dr. Brown's book has helped countless sufferers, and has educated hundreds of physicians. First published in hardcover as "The Road Back", Dr. Brown's theory that this inflammatory arthritis was caused by infectious agents and could be treated with antibiotics was rejected by the majority of the medical profession. But in science, yesterday's heresy can become today's orthodoxy. Recently, the National Institute of Health has provided a major grant to Beth Israel Hospital/The Harvard Medical School and four other institutions nationwide after preliminary studies showed the benefits of antibiotic therapy on those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. This revised and updated edition includes the latest medical thinking provided by interviews with David Trentham, MD who heads the NIH study.
