 How to Deal Simply With Back Pain and Rheumatoid Joint Pain by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj "It Works! This is what he says. "Drink a lot more water and your pain will go away". I knew that was his message before I got the book but I was not convinced. The book explains why to drink more water and also offers some exercises that I was not aware of. And it works. Maybe its a coincidence but I have been trying to recover from a back problem for the last 9 months. In the last two weeks I have noticed a dramatic improvement and I have started to lose weight. It this continues this book is GREAT!! One drawback is that now I have to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Small price to pay." Reviewed b y a reader from Sacramento, CA USA
