When you have arthritis, each day brings new challenges. That's just part of what makes it such a difficult disease to manage.

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Gout
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Bursitis
• Fibromyalgia
• Lupus
• Lyme disease

If you suffer from from any of these painful conditions, you know how challenging it can be to find pain relief, and stay mobile and independent ... how challenging it can be to stay in control of your condition ... and how hard it is to find reliable information on the latest arthritis prevention and care breakthroughs.

Your age, your daily activities, your other health issues, the drug treatments you're using, your exercise routine, over-the-counter remedies you try all affect the way you are going to feel at any given time.

Add to this the fact that there are more than 100 different conditions that fall under the heading of "Arthritis," and you can see why it's so difficult to get an accurate diagnosis, fine-tune your drug regimen and make sure you're getting the latest and best treatment as your condition -- and your options -- change.

But there is one thing that people who successfully manage their arthritis have in common:

They keep themselves fully informed and up-to-the-minute on new developments in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of arthritis. They use this knowledge to work closely with their doctors to conquer pain, minimize restrictions and maintain a good quality of life.

When you consider how much valuable time and money are lost because of the aches and pains, the stiff joints and the fatigue caused by arthritis (an estimated $128 billion annually) ...

And when you realize how much money and hope are wasted on ineffective drug treatments, as well as pills and lotions that promise miracle cures where none exist ...

You will understand why the specialists at Johns Hopkins decided to take action.

Direct to you from the Medical Center ranked #1
of America's Best Hospitals

The Johns Hopkins Hospital has headed the list of America's Best Hospitals for years, as reported in U.S. News & World Report. You simply won't find a more knowledgeable and trustworthy source for the medical information you require.

A tradition of discovery and medical innovation is the hallmark of Johns Hopkins research. Since its founding in 1889, The Johns Hopkins Hospital has led the way transferring the discoveries made in the laboratory to the administration of effective patient care.

It was a team of Johns Hopkins surgeons who performed the world's first total knee replacement in 1971. No one has done more to earn the trust of the millions of men and women diagnosed with arthritis.

What's true? What's wishful thinking?
What's just advertising hoopla and hype?

How much do you really know about controlling arthritis symptoms? So much of what's written in the popular press or advertised on radio and TV has very little to do with what Johns Hopkins doctors know works best.

TRUE OR FALSE: You've heard that distance runners are destined to develop osteoarthritis. Will years of pounding really wear out an athletic person's joints?

TRUE OR FALSE: When the COX-2 inhibitors, Vioxx and Bextra, were pulled off the market for causing cardiovascular problems, arthritis sufferers were deprived of a class of drugs that provided better pain relief than NSAIDs.

TRUE OR FALSE: A naturally-occurring compound called SAMe, found in all living cells, offers us an important new tool for controlling arthritis symptoms.

TRUE OR FALSE: Since rheumatoid arthritis "runs in the family," it means that your children run a high risk of developing it if you have the genetic marker for the disease.

TRUE OR FALSE: Gout, often called "the disease of kings," is caused by a diet rich in purines, which are found in alcohol and certain meats and seafoods.

Surprise! The answer to each question is "false." Find out the truth, with the research behind it, when you order The 2012 Johns Hopkins Arthritis White Paper.

Regardless of where you live, or how far you are from America's #1-rated Best Hospital, you deserve to know about the latest drugs, innovative procedures and new treatment options.

You can use your copy of The 2012 Johns Hopkins Arthritis White Paper to understand the anatomy of your own joints. See how the complex system works. Witness what happens as the system begins to break down. Work with your own doctor for the best outcome.

You'll get all this and more when you order The 2012 Johns Hopkins Arthritis White Paper.

Can any of those "Amazing Miracle Cures"
make you feel like a 25-year-old again?

We've all seen the ads, and paused to wonder. Could they make those claims if they're not at least partially true?

Every pharmacy, every magazine, every search of the Internet turns up lotions and potions, supplements, devices and dietary aids, even magnets and jewelry, all claiming to erase arthritis aches and pains.

Do any of the nutritional or herbal products you see advertised really work? Which ones? Should you give them a try? And what's the safest way to get started with the lowest risk of side effects?
