Appendices by Dr. Joseph Mercola and Dr. Garth Nicolson, Institute for Molecular Medicine

· Special Appendix II written by Dr. Mercola, for doctors in peer language describing Dr. Thomas McPherson Brown’s scientifically proven antibiotic protocol. Readers who wish to try this treatment are encouraged to show this text to their health practitioner. This Appendix uses Fibromyalgia as an example of the protocol.

· Dr Nicholson wrote the highly useful appendix on dietary modifications useful in combating chronic infections and their symptoms.

Arthritis and Autoimmune Disease: The Infection Connection

The focus of the new book has been widened to cover more topics including more types of chronic rheumatic illness, autoimmune conditions and inflammation. Endnotes have been moved to our website where there are more linkages to other websites for your further medical research. The book contains the definitions, overview and introduction to the topics. Our website provides more details, backup and links to relevant source material.

I recommend this book as a practical, well-researched presentation of both conventional and unconventional treatments.

--- Dr. Gabe Mirkin, M.D., Immunologist, Radio talk show host, Author

General differences between the two books:

The first book, Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Infection Connection, 440 pages, was published in 2001 and is still relevant and accurate. Tables 6 and 7 have been updated and also put on the website as PDFs with Hot Links to the website homepages. It is written for the general reader.

The second book, Arthritis and Autoimmune Disease: The Infection Connection, 496 pages, is updated with newer citations and is expanded. To make room, for the added material, the 1000+ endnotes and bibliography were moved to the website to provide hotlinks for the serious student. An eBook edition being planned will use the hotlinks. Instead of providing a CD, the supplemental material is located on this website: RA-Infection-Connection.com
