“ a well-organized, exceptionally accessible guide to preventing or reducing arthritis symptoms through nutrition and exercise for public and academic libraries. (Cooper) explains the etiology of arthritis and claims that people can manage, even prevent, the disease by making certain lifestyle changes. He recommends supplements with appropriate caution, and he views medications or injections as “windows of opportunity” that can make possible lasting changes in diet and exercise. He covers surgery but thinks of it as a last resort and recommends that patients get a second opinion before deciding to go that route…The extensive section on exercise is clearly illustrated with photographs, and the list of questions for surgeons is excellent.” – Library Journal

“…a great book for educating the public about this common disease. It gives them insight on how to prevent it as well as information on how to treat it.” – Doody’s Book Review Service

“… relates the most helpful, practical and uplifting advice for arthritis prevention and management that I’ve ever read. I heartily recommend this book.” - MyShelf.com

…presents a take-charge approach (to) osteoarthritis. His plan focuses on managing the symptoms using nutrition, exercise, and dietary supplements, while recommending surgery and medication only when other approaches have failed. I am most impressed that Dr. Cooper recommends complimentary approaches to managing arthritis such as the practice of Tai Chi, which is also endorsed by the Arthritis Foundation…the best aspect of the book is that it encourages patients to communicate with healthcare professionals, and notes key times when patients should seek professional advice.” - Trisha M. Crutchfield, MHA

“…strongly recommend using my book as a platform to learn all about osteoarthritis, so that the reader can have an informed discussion about his or her particular symptoms with his or her personal doctor.” – MyOsteoarthritisCentral.com
