Arthritis is not a disease as such, but a descriptive term. This book discusses the "rheumatic patch", important in the chronic rheumatic diseases, but ignored by most medical texts. Parallel dicoveries are also discussed, ie, commensal diptheroids, and antihistamines in addition to treatment.
This book uncovers the crucial role of the connective tissues in chronic rheumatic diseases, leading to major advances in understanding and treatment. It contains new clinical research and describes the authors own treatment method, developed over many years, using the 'rheumatic patch'. An up-to-date review of lectinology is also included. This thought-provoking book will be of particular interest to rheumatologists and GPs, but also to interested medical researchers.

Part 1 A new approach to arthritis: rheumatism and arthritis; inflammation. Part 2 The clinical evidence: a composite clinical picture; colds and sore throats, pharyngitis; origins of rheumatoid arthritis and progression to old age; analysis of clinical findings. Part 3 The rheumatic patch: clinical description; treatment techniques; sodium salicylate; local anaesthesia. Part 4 Causes of rheumatoid arthritis and its treatment: systemic infection; occupational factors; sociological factors; psychological factors; focal infection; metabolic disorders and diet; endocrine disorders; allergy. Part 5 Allergy and immunology: allergy; immunology; diet; lectins and autoimmunity; the lectin hypothesis; osteoarthritis. Part 6 Other forms of arthritis and differential diagnosis: headaches; migraine; frozen shoulder; sprains and strains; low back pain; differential diagnosis. Part 7 The skeleton - a new concept: connective tissue - what is it?; case studies. Part 8 The way forward.
