Beating Arthritis: Alternative Cooking with Baker Dan

Baker Dan, an author and a chef has been dealing with Palindromic Rheumatoid Arthritis (PRA) for the last 18 years. He has written his book, Beating Arthritis: Alternative Cooking by creating recipes (gluten-free, lactose-free, with no added sugar or fat) from a patient’s point of view. Baker Dan has learned that through the process of self-study and medically-supervised diet-change one can reduce or prevent inflammation. His book is a “message book,” not a “diet book.” He discusses how changing his diet has reduced the inflammation that contributes to PRA and so many other illnesses, and he now takes much less medication and has fewer flareups of his disease.
