FOODS THAT FIGHT PAIN
Revolutionary New Strategies for Maximum Pain Relief
Based on powerful scientific findings, this life-changing book shows how you can use food as medicine to transform your diet and your life.
Available from Harmony Books in May 1998
W
e all suffer pain from time to time, and for some of us that pain has become a recurring, and sometimes constant, presence in our lives. In this book I would like to offer you an approach to pain that is different—and perhaps more powerful—than anything else you have ever tried. It is based on the premise that foods have medicinal value, a notion that has long been accepted in the medical traditions of China, India, Native America, and other cultures around the world and is now being confirmed by the latest Western medical research.
Foods can fight pain. In the pages ahead, we’ll discuss how this works, and specifically which foods or supplements will be most effective for your pain, along with recipes for turning those foods into delicious meals. But for the moment I want to establish something important: There is nothing speculative or far-out about the premise that foods can fight pain. On the contrary. The ideas presented in this book are drawn from a wealth of new research from prestigious medical centers around the world.
Years ago, findings showing that foods work against pain, even pain in its most severe forms, led to tentative and sometimes controversial theories. Physicians and scientists then rigorously investigated these concepts in human research volunteers. Today, after years of testing, discarding, and refining, we have arrived at a revolutionary way of thinking about pain. Research studies have given us the scientific basis not only for why foods work this magic but also how to put it to use. This book translates these powerful new laboratory findings into simple steps that you can use.
Nutrients work against pain in four ways. They can reduce damage at the site of injury, cool your body’s inflammatory response, provide analgesia on pain nerves themselves, and even work within the brain to reduce pain sensitivity.
The most important approach for you depends on the kind of pain you have. If you have arthritis, your goal is to stop the joint damage along with the pain. If you have cancer pain or chest pain, you can choose foods to affect the disease process itself. If you have shingles, diabetic nerve pains, or carpal tunnel syndrome, you need to fix a problem within the nerves. If you have a chronic backache, headaches, abdominal pain, or cramps, you just want the pain to disappear. Specific foods can help with all of these.
