Bronwyn's story What is Arthritis? FAQs

Medical comment:‘Arthritis result from many factors; inflammatory, degenerative, traumatic and mechanical. Diet has not been part of traditional medical thinking but there is a consistency in what patients find when they change their diets. Dietary change has no side effects and is easily reversed.’ - Brett Courtenay, MB,BS,FRACS(OrthA) St Vincent’s Clinic, Sydney

‘There is nothing in Pain-Free Living that can harm but there is much that makes very good sense. I would confidently recommend the book to arthritics.’ - AJ Boakes MSc, MB BS, Dip Ven, FRCA Consultant Physician Stoke Manderville Hospital, UK

‘You now reflect and radiate good health and happiness. The strength you gained from overcoming (arthritis) symptoms really shows and one felt that overcoming some of the obstacles in life could really lead to new levels of wellness never before achieved.’ - Prof M Colleen Stainton, RN,DNSc. Chair, Women’s Health Nursing, Royal Hospital for Women, Sydney

Reviews: 'Pain-Free Living is aimed at helping millions of arthritis sufferers conquer pain through diet. Scientists now know that populations who derive much of their protein from a diet rich in soy, fish and seafood (as with the Pain-Free Living diet) have significantly lower rates of inflammatory disease...osteoporosis, heart disease, menopausal symptoms, high cholesterol and a variety of cancers.' - THE NORTHERN STAR.

Bronwyn's story: 'Aged 29 I limped around the house in pain. Last February I cycled up Mount Hotham, Falls Creek and Buffalo.'

'Dear Anne�I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (a form of arthritis) as a 29year old after suffering serve pain from the age of 17. I went to many Doctors, Naturopaths, Physiotherapist and Chiros. I tried many pills, herbs and other diets none of which helped. I was on chemotherapy (methatrexate) and anti inflammatories and needed to have blood tests fortnightly to check for liver damage.

I was given a copy of your book Pain Free Living , not really believing that it would help as I had tried every other diet, I was surprised how it worked so quickly. Within 3 days I was not out of pain but I wasn't reaching for the drugs every 4 hours, it was a bearable pain. Within 2 weeks I felt better than I had for many years. It took 2 months to be completely PAIN FREE and off all medication. I went back to the specialist who told me he had seen your book before and threw it on the ground! He wanted me to make an appointment in 6 months as �I would be back there and needing those drugs�...that was 6 years ago.

As a Remedial Masseur I have told many of my clients about your diet and those who stick to it have had the same success that I have. Other people that had inflammation problems such as whip-lash, hip and knee problems have been helped as well. It really is an anti inflammation diet.

Before this I wasn't able to walk around the block without limping in pain. Last February I cycled up Mount Hotham, Falls Creek and Buffalo. People ask: 'How I can live without meat and fruit?' I only have to have a piece to remember why I don't eat it any more.

So Anne thank you once again.'

She has lost 5 kilos and looks remarkably well.' - Mr P, Western Australia.
