Summary & Study Guide - Healing Arthritis: Your 3-Step Guide to Conquering Arthritis Naturally

By Lee Tang

Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and More
Reduce Inflammation and Pain in Your Joints Without Medication

This book is a summary of “Healing Arthritis: Your 3-Step Guide to Conquering Arthritis Naturally,” by Susan Blum, MD, MPH.

Arthritis is a common cause of disability. It affects seven percent of people between ages 18 to 44, and thirty percent of people older than 44. People with arthritis often experience severe joint pain and inflammation. Pain restricts physical activity which further increases their risk of other health issues such as diabetes and heart disease.

Conventional medicine relies on pain medications to relieve the symptoms without addressing the root causes. But they work only 50 percent of the time and often have serious side effects.

Dr. Blum’s 3-Step Arthritis Protocol addresses the underlying causes by healing your gut to reduce inflammation in your joints without medication.

No matter what arthritis you have, this program reduces inflammation and pain in your joints without medication.

This guide includes:
* Book Summary—helps you understand the key concepts.
* Online Videos—cover the concepts in more depth.
Value-added from this guide:
* Save time
