By Sharon E. Hohler

The two most common types of arthritis in the United States are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Together, these diseases affect more than 22 million Americans, many of whom believe that there is no reliable, practical, or affordable treatment for their pain and discomfort. This work, designed as a comprehensive resource handbook for patients suffering from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, provides a user-friendly guide to modern holistic, medical, and surgical treatments.

The author provides a thorough overview of the most popular conservative treatments--including pain medications, exercise, nutrition therapy, and alternative health treatments. The author also provides a guide to more invasive surgical approaches, providing helpful resources and tips for selecting a surgeon, preparing for surgery, and facilitating a healthy recovery.

No Immediate Threat: The Story of an American Veteran
by Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell

ASJA Press, 2005

“That damn war,” my mother wailed between sobs. My brother, Steve, died on the streets of Fargo, North Dakota, nearly 30 years to the day he enlisted into the Army and went to Vietnam. He left us only with questions about our failure to help him and why our mother was never notified of his death. Steve’s story mirrors those of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. No Immediate Threat doesn’t just tell the story of one American veteran, it tells the story of many.

“Ms. Campbell tells it like it is and offers many good insights and cures into the problems not only faced by Vietnam vets, but also our returning veterans from the Gulf War and Iraq. Will their story be different?” – Rick Baker, Vietnam veteran, 1968-70.
