Amazon.com Review
The word “cure” in the title is a bit misleading, but this book certainly makes a persuasive argument in favor of treating osteoarthritis with two common nutritional supplements–glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates–and following a program emphasizing better nutrition and exercise. The supplements are commonly used in Europe and Asia, where they’ve been tested in double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (the gold standard for medical research). They haven’t been thoroughly tested in the United States, the authors contend, because drug companies can’t patent the supplements and thus won’t fund the research. The book also contains a chapter detailing a seven-step arthritis-prevention program.

The Arthritis ‘Cure’ — LOTS of Hype With Little / No Substance (Presented)
This book has a (gross) overabundance of (unsubstantiated) hype & little / no substance. It is a true ‘Reader’s Digest’ / National Enquirer special with the shallowest possible pretext at documentation. Whether or not there is (some) substance to the use of glucosamine sulfate or chondroitin sulfate, one will get little more than lot of handwaiving & gospelizing from this ‘work’. Other reviews posted re this book detailed other shortcomings / aspects well enough that they need not be repeated here…
Rating: 2 / 5
About a year ago I submitted a review of this much-discussed volume, and promised to enlarge upon the subject after giving the regimen and medicaments a fair chance. Several kind souls have expressed their appreciation for the original review, and asked for any new information I might have about my person. In the interest of science, and ridding myself of the joys of arthritis, I have consumed cubic miles of chondroitin and glucosamine sulfates; I have grazed upon greens; I have eschewed almost every eatable, drinkable and smokable damned or even tut-tutted by the authors – for a while, anyway. I still have arthritis. It does not have me. If any improvement came about through this Spartan experience it could only be detected by the most powerful instruments in the known universe. I shall not, in future, invest in any more of the pills; I have just celebrated my freedom with a beefsteak, which we discussed over a capital Hermitage, and topped off with about an acre of gooseberry pie. As I write this, I am savouring a good cigar. I speak only for myself in this regard, for I note other reviews and comments diametrically opposed. Well, everyone to their own taste, as the old woman said when she kissed the cow. Probably I, a skeptic from the cradle, lack the faith necessary to derive benefits; perhaps my metabolism is not in tune with the free radicals, or whatever they are, that do the work. Pity, as I said before, that a true scientific test was not conducted by the authors. As presented, ‘The Arthritis Cure’ and its offspring give off a decided odour of snake-oil. Anecdotes are entertaining. Data are convincing.

a review of `The Arthritis Cure’ by
Grandpa Curmudgeon
who has arthritis himself, owns a bionic hip, and consumes enough Vicodin every day to keep Kansas City as high as a kite
1. The work is obviously padded – perhaps to justify its high price per unit volume (pun intended).
2. Descriptions purporting to be `scientific’ or `medical’ are in the best Sunday supplement style. That may not make them invalid. The writers’ audience is probably not well educated and could not follow a logical scientific argument. For my part, I would have appreciated seeing `before’ and `after’ microphotographs (using, perhaps, arthroscope pictures) to show whether or not there was in fact regeneration of cartilage in the affected joints.
3. Results of their studies never explain the apparent improvement on the part of those receiving placebos.
4. The `reports of case studies’ are mostly:
i. Anecdotal, i. e. `I took a pill and felt better’.
ii. Cases involving younger people – younger than I am now; younger than I shall ever be again, by thousands and thousands of years – who were inordinately active before getting osteoarthritis, and want nothing more than to be inordinately active again. They would be more likely to resist the ailment in the first place, and better able to recover, in the second.
iii. Lacking in hard evidence (v. 2, supra).
5. There is a good deal of the current health-fascist emphasis on diet and exercise. Too much comment, that is, and too little proof. Fads `heal’, sometimes; so do placebos (v. 3, supra), sometimes; so does faith, sometimes. The human mind, if I may be excused the oxymoron, is a strange thing indeed.
6. There is an over-supply of the current New Age Feelgood puckumpucky in it.
7. Despite these carping comments, there is still an off chance that the compounds might work. If, as is maintained by the authors, chondraitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate help rebuild cartilage in damaged joints, it could be worth a try. Absence of pain is an indicator of something; whether or not it is an indicator of healing or just a masking of symptoms I cannot say from reading the book.
8. Despite being a skeptic of the first order I have tried, if only for a week, the condiments proffered by the authors, as I am fortunate enough to know the proprietor of a health-food store. I cannot say that there was an improvement; I cannot say that there was not. The joint pain in my left hip is reduced, perhaps; the muscle pain in that portion of my anatomy is still with me. The quadricep, you see, is somewhat atrophied due to a deep vein thrombus in that particular gam. If it isn’t one thing, it’s six – old age ain’t for sissies. I am tired enough of pain to try anything, once – I would even eat brussels sprouts if they eased the pain. I shall continue the treatment for another couple of weeks, endeavour to hobble about enough to help that muscle, and report further.

As someone with severe osteoarthritis (and a fused foot at 18), I find this book very annoying not because glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate were and are not an option for me, but simply because it is basically junk food for the masses. I have friends who have had success with glucosamine and chondroitin, and others who have not. I hate to say it, but most people with arthritis (and especially osteoarthritis) are not willing to do what it takes to manage the disease–using common sense (which does not seem to be so common)by eating a healthy diet, losing excess weight, and exercise. Be open and honest with your doctor and family about your disease! If something isn’t working, make it known! Most importantly, good self-esteem, perseverance, and a desire to succeed will do more for most people than any supplement, NSAID, hyaluronic acid injection, etc. Overall, I think one will accomplish more by using common sense and communication than reading this book.
Rating: 1 / 5
Much of this book is page filler, it advocates Glucosomine and Chondrodin Sulphate as its main “cure” and then talks about eating foods high in antioxidants (which is really old basic info that we can find in plenty of books and websites). It is also very repetative, I remember reading the same subject three times near the beginning (page filler.)
Although the book is helpful, especially for really ignorant newbies who hate the internet, it needs to be thinned out and the common knowledge parts taken out.
