The Arthritic's Cookbook
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, 1973. Book Club Edition. hardcover. 8vo 184pp. from front flap: "'There is no special diet for arthritis. No specific food has anything to do with causing it. And no specific diet will cure it.' --from "The Truth about Diet and Arthritis," issued by the Arthritis Foundation. Dr. Collin Dong refused to accept this dictum when he was afflicted with arthritis at age thirty-five. Remember an old Chinese proverb, "Sickness enters through the mouth and catastrophe comes out of the mouth," he experimented with a simple Chinese diet of his youth. Finally he hit on the right combination of seafood, vegetables, and rice. In a few short weeks he experienced a miraculous transformation; he was agile again, the stiffness and pain in his joints disappeared. Today, at seventy-one, Dr. Dong plays golf each morning, treats thirty to forty patients daily, and leads a full, active life."
