At last -- a simple, step-by-step guide to doing what many doctors thought impossible: reversing Type 2 Diabetes! The epidemic of obesity and bad eating habits in America has spawned an even worse condition: Type 2 Diabetes. This devastating condition affects 26 million and threatens 79 million Americans who have pre-diabetic symptoms and conditions. For years, a Type 2 diagnosis by a doctor meant fighting a losing battle to live free of the condition. But the doctors were wrong! The Three most Common Lies about Type 2 Diabetes 1. Diabetes can't be reversed. 2. Medications are the only thing available to "manage" your diabetes. 3. It's a waste of your time and money to attempt to reverse diabetes with natural therapy. But as this book demonstrates, it is possible to reverse Type 2 Diabetes. Get an early grip on turning back this nearly invisible life-threatening illness. "Many pre-diabetics and Type 2 Diabetics don't realize they have diabetes until they go for a full physical examination with their doctor. The reason for this is simple: there are many symptoms that seem unrelated, but which are inter-related to the illness. The sooner you are diagnosed with diabetes, the better your chance is to avoid serious complications. Without early identification and treatment, you may be more at risk for developing cardiovascular disease, hypoglycemia, kidney failure, retinal damage, ketoacidosis, blindness, erectile dysfunction, gangrene, nerve damage, and even amputation of the feet. That being said, there are many symptoms that may point to diabetes. By taking the time to explore this list of symptoms, you might be able to pre-screen yourself for diabetes." See the Six Most Common Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes on page 29 Don't live with the lies of the Pharmaceutical Industry, Food Manufacturers and the Medical Profession. This small guide by Dr. J. Murray Hockings, D.C., D.PSc. will help you fight back so you can turn around a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes naturally by starting down a new revolutionary path to health and wellness.

One of medicine's most remarkable therapeutic triumphs was the discovery of insulin in 1921. The drug produced astonishing results, rescuing children and adults from the deadly grip of diabetes. But as Chris Feudtner demonstrates, the subsequent transformation of the disease from a fatal condition into a chronic illness is a story of success tinged with irony, a revealing saga that illuminates the complex human consequences of medical intervention. Bittersweet chronicles this history of diabetes through the compelling perspectives of people who lived with this disease. Drawing on a remarkable body of letters exchanged between patients or their parents and Dr. Elliot P. Joslin and the staff of physicians at his famed Boston clinic, Feudtner examines the experience of living with diabetes across the twentieth century, highlighting changes in treatment and their profound effects on patients' lives. Although focused on juvenile-onset, or Type 1, diabetes, the themes explored in Bittersweet have implications for our understanding of adult-onset, or Type 2, diabetes, as well as a host of other diseases that, thanks to drugs or medical advances, are being transformed from acute to chronic conditions. Indeed, the tale of diabetes in the post-insulin era provides an ideal opportunity for exploring the larger questions of how medicine changes our lives.

Though not all physicians are aware of the scientific advances that prove it, most diabetics can now avoid insulin injections and prevent or reverse the deadly complications of their disease. The key is treating the root problem-insulin resistance-instead of focusing on controlling blood sugar levels, an outdated practice that puts patients at greater risk for heart attack and stroke. Take Charge of Your Diabetes showcases the unique plan Dr. Zaidi has developed in treating thousands of cases of Type 1 and Type 2 successfully. Dramatically different from traditional treatment protocols, the program includes an easy-to-follow diet, a moderate exercise and stress-reduction plan, vitamin and supplement recommendations, and a prescription medication regimen that reduces the number of medications as time goes on instead of the traditional treatment model: stepping up doses as diabetes progresses.

A fun and imaginative storybook to help children understand the emotional impact of diabetes and how it can be managed.

A New York Times Best Thriller of the Year "Terrific. You might come for the mystery, but you will stay for the sheer energy."--New York Times Book Review An utterly delicious debut thriller that tells the story of the most likable murderess you will ever meet, perfect for fans of Riley Sager and Jessica Knoll. “I could just kill you right now!” It’s something we’ve all thought at one time or another. But Ruby has actually acted on it. Three times, to be exact. Though she may be a murderer, Ruby is not a sociopath. She is an animal-loving therapist with a thriving practice. She’s felt empathy and sympathy. She’s had long-lasting friendships and relationships, and has a husband, Jason, whom she adores. But the homicide detectives at Miami Beach PD are not convinced of her happy marriage. When we meet Ruby, she is in a police interrogation room, being accused of Jason’s murder. Which, ironically, is one murder that she did not commit, though a scandal-obsessed public believes differently. As she undergoes questioning, Ruby’s mind races back to all the details of her life that led her to this exact moment, and to the three dead bodies in her wake. Because though she may not have killed her husband, Ruby certainly isn’t innocent. Alternating between Ruby’s memories of her past crimes and her present-day fight to clear her name, Blood Sugar is a twisty, clever debut with an unforgettable protagonist who you can’t help but root for—an addicting mixture of sour and sweet.
