Dear Brooks (or should I say Mr. Bradley? ;-)),
Thanks for the info. I have recently proved to myself that any arthritic
symptoms I have are reduced by drinking large quantities of water as per Dr. F.
Batmanghelidj, as you mention. I have not tried drinking any coffee since I
increased my water consumption, but I suspect you will be proved right. I find
that I am a bit acidic and also suspect the problem involves the acidity of the
coffee, not just the caffeine, as I can drink tea without the same effect.

Dear Mr. Nave,
Some time in the past, we made an interesting determination among a group
of volunteers......persons suffering from a similar presentation as you
state. Our investigations substantiated, generally, the contentions
of Dr. F. Batmanghelidj.........to wit: for every 8 ounce cup
of coffee, the body requires 32 ounces of plain water. Our volunteer
population.....almost to a person....were able to resume drinking coffee
without the "previously attendant" arthritic complications-----whenever
they "scrupulously" abided by the aforementioned requirement. General
fluids such as fruit juice, milk, etc., do not qualify as hydrators----in
this case.....ONLY water does.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

I had to stop drinking coffee as I found that
it caused aching joint pain especially in my hands and lower back across
the back esp at the top edge of the hip bone. I had to stay
off of it completely for about 3 weeks before I could notice the difference.
Then drinking a strong coffee or two caused major pain the next day.
