Published by drlundell on February 11th, 2009

Dear Dr. Lundell:

I have decided to order your book but I would be oblged if you could answer a question for me. I do believe that inflammation is the cause of many ailments, I suffer from athritis, and I wonder if your advise would benefit me in that respect.  Thank you,

David W. Thorpe.

Dear David:

I hope you enjoy the book.  The recommendations in the book to lower inflammation in the cardiovascular system also apply to the joints.

There are many articles in the medical literature indicating that fish oil in doses up to 6 Grams per day are beneficial in relieving discomfort and lowering the need for the medications.
