ARTHRITIS, A NEEDLESS CRIPPLER


ARTHRITIS, A NEEDLESS CRIPPLER

by Dr. John R. Christopher


This week's newsletter is Volume 3 Number 11 of the Dr John R. Christopher Newsletter on Arthritis


Arthritis is a disease which affects the joints. It is attended by pain, heat, redness, stiffness and swelling. Archaeological evidence indicates that arthritis was known as far back as the earliest dynasties of ancient Egypt and possibly before that time. In the new world we find "prehistoric" North American Indian skeletal populations exhibiting arthritic deposits and bone deformities. The disease knows no boundaries as far as age, social status, or geographical distribution.
