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. 256 Pages.
