Danger of Diabetes

Short Review - this is an excellent book. People need to take responsibility for their personal wealth by managing their own diet and exercise and to stop assigning blame to parents, heredity, and their doctors. Type II diabetes is not inevitable and actually can be reversed in its early stages if the patient chooses to change their lifestyle.

Excellent guide to renewed health.

I have been following the suggestions of this book for eight weeks. I have lost a lot of inches and weight. My blood sugars have dropped to an acceptable level and I feel a great deal better. I have recommended the book to several family members and friends. They are also seeing very positive results. My grateful thanks to Peter Morgan Kash and Jay Lombard.

WHAT "BAD" FOODS DO TO YOU

This book doesn't tell us anything new about which foods are "bad" for us, BUT it gives an extremely comprehensive view of HOW certain substances adversely affect us and WHY we shouldn't overindulge in them. Becoming resistant to insulin precedes multiple major health problems. The book is an impressive study, and easy to follow.

Freedom from Disease

I now understand why each succeeding generation is becoming sicker than the last. It makes sense that insulin resistance is behind most of our diseases. In looking at what was eaten 50 years ago versus today, the truth is evident. I am truly frighened for my children and grandchildren because of what might happen to them. I have become pro-active in the Chronic Disease Resolution which is trying to get politicians to put money into prevention. Most people don't want to hear what is being said but they need to listen if they want to be healthy. We have a very daunting task but through eduction, we hope to accomplish our goal of reducing deaths caused by Chronic Diseases. Thanks for this book which I will use to support my argument at the State and Federal level. Edith Veerman-Frank, 220 West State Street, Algona, Iowa
