How to Deal with Back Pain and Rheumatoid Joint Pain: A Preventive and Self Treatment Manual for Those Who Prefer to Adhere to the Logic of the Natural and the Simple - Hardcover
Synopsis
Many millions of people suffer from debilitating low back pain. Few imagine that drinking more plain water might help them cure it. This book, however, unlike any other 'how-to' book on the market, explains that very often chronic back pain is a signal indicating a severe general or local dehydration in the back or other joints and areas of the body. Most of these pains, says the author, can be relieved by ordinary tap water, but instead often receive only costly pharmaceutical medications. The book also explains the important role water plays in holding the spinal column together and provides and demonstrates with photographs a series of simple exercises for the successful hydration of the disc core, the retraction of displaced discs and immediate relief from sciatic pain.

The author of this book received his formal medical education at Saint Mary's Hospital Medical School of London University. At a scientific level, Dr. Batmanghelidj (Batman-ge-lij) provides for the layman the most clear and comprehensive book written on the origins of chronic pain. His clinical and scientific research expose for the first time that the often recurring "chronic pain" is a signal system of the body indicating severe general or local dehydration. Most of these pains can be relieved by ordinary tap water, but instead, often receive costly pharmaceutical medications.
In this book, back pain and rheumatoid joint pain as indicators of local chronic dehydration are explained. The mechanisms involving the important role of water in holding the spinal column together are discussed. Based on years of detailed study of the human anatomy and the science of physiology, a new exercise approach for the successful hydration of the disc core, the retraction of the displaced discs and the immediate relief even from sciatic pain is clearly explained and demonstrated.
This book is unlike any other how-to book on the market. This is an instructive presentation about the very simple way of finding comfort from two of the most commonly occurring pains of the body: Low back pain and rheumatoid joint pain.
