Reseña del editor
The Editors of Endover Press invite you to read “a woman’s perspective on arthritis” as in the review below by I. M. Mcdonald:
“I have been reading several books on the theme of understanding and alleviating arthritis for the last year or so. Each has had something to offer, but many seem to be aimed at sporty men (or at least men who used to be very active in their youth). I think this is an unintentional consequence of the authors often fitting this profile (as in Dr Bob Arnot’s “Wear and Tear: Stop the Pain and Put the Spring Back in Your Body”).
This is the first book I have found that specifically considers why and how arthritis develops in women postmenopause - apparently a very common occurrence. This has been enlightening to say the least. Suddenly the accelerated development of stiffness and other symptoms in relatively few years makes a lot more sense to me. . . . There is a lot to be learnt from other books on arthritis, but if you are a post-menopausal woman who has developed osteoarthritis, I think you would do well to read this book.”
-- I.M. Mcdonald, Published on Amazon.co.uk (please see their Amazon site for full review)
Menopausal arthritis goes beyond osteoarthritis brought on by menopause; and, osteoarthritis is more than just a “wear and tear” disease of aging! This healing plan is based upon the author’s research and the findings from over 400 scientific studies, and she shares both the exciting research and her own personal experiences within her book.
Discover:
- What was once thought to be just a “wear and tear” disease of aging, we now know that osteoarthritis involves inflammation as part of the disease process.
- The hormone leptin is a key player in driving the process of osteoarthritis, and higher levels of it promote the release of chemical messengers (cytokines) that actually promote cartilage degradation.
- Women in menopause are at a higher risk for developing a metabolism associated with cartilage breakdown.
- There are also soft tissue conditions more common in older women than men that can feel just like the pain from osteoarthritis. If not recognized, many women may think that they need to undergo invasive procedures such as corticosteroid injections or even total knee replacement therapy when these procedures may not address the real source of the pain.
- There are many anti-inflammatory foods, herbs, and supplements that can intervene and assist in this process to promote healing.
- There are also many interventions from the “outside” such as orthopedic massage, and healing topicals that can help to promote healing.
- Exercise that involves your body as a whole (muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones, etc.) can help provide support for your joints that strength training alone cannot do.
Hormonal therapy is not a necessary part of this healing plan (nor are pharmaceutical drugs which may have some severe side-effects or NSAIDs which may elevate the risk for gastrointestinal bleeding). This is a unique and effective program designed especially to help women overcome the aching and stiff joints associated with menopause. Comprehensive and well-researched, this outstanding program can help you to successfully overcome the joint pains associated with menopause.
