The author of this book recounts a journey that began when she was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 12. When she was 28 years old, the disease progressed to the extent that she had to use a wheelchair and could not even pick up her third daughter, who was only months old. She describes the allopathic treatment she was receiving which required her to take a substantial quantity of medications, yet failed to provide the improvement she so coveted. Then, she tells another story, about a different, light-filled journey inspired by naturopathy; a journey that she is still undertaking today. She offers detailed information and instructions on an integral part of this journey: healing strategies that incorporate diet, exercise and alternative medicines that are either free, or inexpensive. Such treatments have long been lauded and she is the living proof of their efficacy. Claudette, who is now 76 years old, continues to get around Santiago by bicycle, hike in the hills and follow the strict diet that helped to make her rheumatoid arthritis a thing of the past.

Too often, people faced with a disease such as rheumatoid arthritis hear words like, "disabling," "progressive," or "tragic." "Tragic" may be what people are saying but the real tragedy is that these often repeated words do nothing but harm to those who hear them. They completely ignore a very real truth: physical issues can absolutely lead to positive transformation, action, challenge, inner strength, deep courage, and compassion. This unique book is written by someone who knows her subject well. Kat Elton, an occupational therapist and woman who's had rheumatoid arthritis since age two, knows that people with RA don't need false hope or to be told what to do. What they do need is to be led toward believing in themselves and improving their reality no matter what it is. Part practical guide, part workbook, part memoir, this book demonstrates that although there is no magic bullet or cure for rheumatoid arthritis, there is a way to live well with this disease.
