Reversing Diabetes: Reduce or Even Eliminate Your Dependence on Insulin or Oral Drugs

"The first two thirds of this book contain everything known by Dr. Julian Whitaker (and it is a lot!) about diabetes -- the history, the research, previous attempts at control, effects of medicinal solutions. If you're a "I must know" type, then read, read, read. However, if you want to get to 'the program', skip directly to Chapter 13; "How to Implement the Diet for Reversing Diabetes." A friend who has successfully followed this program says that Dr. Whitaker's cookbook [ASIN:0446691410 Reversing Diabetes Cookbook: More Than 200 Delicious, Healthy Recipes]] is the better way to go. Wish I had started there!"

"I was diagnosed a month ago with type 2 diabetes. Although I have a very mild form of it and my doctor is hopeful that it can be reversed I was terrified. I didn't want to go down the road of amputations, blindness, and kidney disease. That's when I found this book. I have a better understanding of diabetes now and a low glycemic diet makes perfectly good sense to me. I've been eating a plant based diet for a month and have lost 21 pounds and my blood sugars are normal.

There are quite a few reviews that say diabetics need to avoid carbohydrates-that's horse and buggy thinking. It is now known that diabetics need carbohydrates-it is the fuel that our bodies use. What diabetics need to change is the source of those carbohydrates. The less refined food we eat the better blood sugar control we have. As Dr. Whitaker says it's not the quantity of carbohydrates it's the quality. So those people with negative reviews either haven't kept up to date with the latest diabetes information or they didn't read the book. I'm even going to send this to my sister whose diabetes is out of control. Maybe it will help her as it's done for others. "

"book was quoted to me at one price, billed at a higher price. i cancelled order but amazon shipped it any way.
i couldn't understand return instructions so i wrote amazon twice. weeks have gone by with no response.
i got in touch with dhl and they instructed me how to return book. good thing cause amazon couldn't be bothered.
i returned the unopened package. the box was crushed so badly dhl couldn't scan the shipping label.
haven't heard a word from amazon until this review solicitation.
bottom line is don't do business with amazon they are a ripoff and are clueless as how to properly do business.
thank you for you time"
