Defeat Diabetes Now

Book Cover & Preview Text
Diabetes is not a new disease; it was one of the first diseases de- scribed in ancient world cultures. Both Type I and Type II are chronic conditions that usually cannot be cured. All forms of diabetes have been treatable since insulin became available in 1921, and Type II diabetes may be controlled with medications. Diabetes is affecting increasing numbers of people in Western civi- lization. Dr. Jeffrey Koplan of the Centers for Disease Control and Pre- vention (CDC), reported in October 2000 that diabetes was reaching epidemic levels in the United States. By 2011 the CDC estimated that nearly 26 million Americans have this incurable, but treatable, disease. Modern medicine has not yet been able to develop a cure, or even to get a handle on ameliorating the devastation caused by diabetes. I believe that something is missing in the treatment of diabetics. The present work posits the question: what is happening in our soci- ety that has lead to the explosive growth of the diabetic population, and how can we slow this trend down? It is the purpose of this book to propose an answer that has worked for me, an answer that has worked for countless others with whom I’ve been able to share my experience. How was I, a type II diabetic, able to shed my five medications(nine pills a day) for over eight years while maintaining normal blood glucose levels? What is lacking in diabetic treatment, what is the neces- sary link that connects all the dots? I discerned the missing component while in nursing school: lifestyle changes which reduce the level of cortisol, also called the stress hormone. This book will educate diabetics, explaining the sources of the disease, illustrating the consequences of diabetes, and promoting the lifestyle changes necessary to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Hopefully, you too can live life totally medication free. It is my hope that practitioners too will utilize this innovative thera- py when treating their patients. No one has yet found a cure for diabetes, but I do believe that with your help we can prevent many of the unnecessary complications and deaths caused by diabetes.

About the Book
“It is inspiring to see how someone with type II diabetes can lose over one hundred pounds and quit taking medications just by changing his attitude. I believe that this is a must read for anyone who is depressed and overweight, even if you do not have diabetes. I will be recommending this book to my some of my friends. This is definitely worth the read. The author does an excellent job of explaining how diabetes works, and he does so in an easy-to-understand language. His medical background provides insights into the disease that is hard to find. He goes on to talk about how the effects of diabetes can be controlled by making simple lifestyle changes. You will be provided with a new outlook on life, and you will live a healthier life. This book is not preachy; it is honest and from someone who knows the true struggles of diabetes.”
