DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This 26th volume of the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine series provides a multi-faceted 'whole evidence' analysis of the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using integrative Chinese medicine. Beginning with an overview of how RA is conceptualised and managed in conventional medicine (Chapter 1), the authors summarise the syndrome differentiation and management of RA in contemporary Chinese medicine (Chapter 2), based on clinical guidelines and contemporary books. Chapter 3 provides detailed analyses of how RA and related conditions were treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture in past eras based on the classical Chinese medical literature. The subsequent chapters comprehensively review the current state of the clinical evidence for the integrative application of Chinese herbal medicines (Chapter 5), acupuncture therapies (Chapter 7), other Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 8) and combination Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 9), as well as analyse and evaluate the results of these clinical studies from an evidence-based medicine perspective. Chapter 6 reviews and summarises experimental evidence for the bioactivity of commonly used Chinese herbs and their constituent compounds. The outcomes of these analyses are summarised and discussed in Chapter 10. Implications for clinical practice and future research are identified. This book informs clinicians and students in the fields of integrative medicine and Chinese medicine regarding contemporary practice and the current evidence base for Chinese medicine therapies for managing RA. It enables clinicians in making evidence-based decisions in patient care. It also provides researchers with a comprehensive survey of the state of the field that can inform future directions for clinical and experimental studies.

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Plan to Win offers an inspiring, scientifically based game plan for minimizing the effects of this chronic illness, and ultimately, achieving optimal health. Here is the definitive resource for practical strategies and emotional support, whether you need help controlling pain, are concerned about medication side-effects, or want to locate a reliable RA news source or support group on the Internet. Helpful chapters detail the latest therapies, special dietary and exercise needs of people with RA, how to deal with arthritis at home and in the workplace, prepare for surgery, pregnancy and childbirth, enjoy healthy sexuality, use the mind-body connection to control symptoms, make informed decisions about alternative medicine, and perhaps most important, how to build a healthcare team and maintain excellent communication and working relationships with that team. By using this book as a starting point and a 24/7 reference guide, people with RA will be better equipped to form an effective plan of action, making well-informed decisions about their health along the way, and greatly enhancing their ability to live happy, productive lives. Cheryl Koehn, who was an Olympic-caliber athlete when she developed RA, is a leading advocate and spokesperson for people with arthritis. Together with her co-authors, John Esdaile, MD, and science writer Taysha Palmer, Koehn provides a wealth of information and practical advice, assembled from thousands of research papers as well as from her personal experiences with this debilitating disease.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The causes for the devastating condition of arthritis have become one of modern medicine's greatest mysteries. Furthermore, a potential cure for arthritis has become just as elusive. As a result, modern medicine has focused on treating the symptoms rather than the disease. Here Dr. Adams uses a combination of modern research and traditional medicine to expose the evidence that unveils the root causes and solutions to both the symptoms and the diseases classified as arthritis.
