Kim Arrey is a consulting dietitian with over 20 years of experience of bringing nutrition education to her clients. She also works as a spokesperson and consultant for various food and pharmaceutical companies, and has been a spokesperson for National Nutrition Month in Quebec. She appears regularly on radio and television, and lives in Montreal, Quebec.
Dr. Michael Starr, MD, FRCPC, is a practising rheumatologist, an assistant professor of medicine at McGill University and a member of the Division of Rheumatology at the McGill University Hospital Center (MUHC)
To have arthritis means to endure often severe pain and stiffness in one’s joints, making daily routines much more difficult to execute. Through both text and graphics, Arrey explains the differences between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, which produce similar symptoms but which have much different origins and treatment regimens. She outlines current drug and surgical therapies, giving the risks and rewards of each. Since alternative medicine has gained so large a following, Arrey suggests how to evaluate supplements and nonstandard therapies. Diet can play a very critical role in arthritis, both in avoiding foods that may increase inflammation and in controlling weight in order to relieve joints of excess pressure. Recipes for appropriate foods cover many ethnic sources and appeal to both vegetarians and carnivores. Each recipe that Arrey has devised lists nutritional analysis for calories, carbohydrates, fats, and protein content. --Mark Knoblauch
