Review of Surviving Type II Diabetes (In Spite of the Experts' Advice) (Paperback)

I have had occasion to read "Surviving Type II Diabetes" several times and have tested its "suggestions" on myself. It has worked for me. It has also opened the eyes of my primary care physician who now sees that more understanding is required before drugs are employed. I highly recommend the book.

Review of The Miracle Heart : The Ultimate Guide to Preventing and Curing Heart Disease With Diet and Supplements (Mass Market Paperback)

This book summarizes much of the latest research on prevention of cardiovascular related diseases.The author covers almost all (forgot, e.g. "melatonin") of the bases in relating the latestdevelopments in diet related heart disease prevention, and as such I foundit an excellent informative book.The author reports the studies, theresults, the recommendations and the dosages relating to supplementation ofvitamins, minerals, some herbal products, omega 3, etc. etc.The bookcontains new information that I believe has yet to be widely disemminated.. I discern the same weakness in this book as in much of the currentinformation on diet, to wit, how to combine allinto a single plan oftreatment.The author might have reported to us that studies have yet tobe done on how these divergent benefits of supplements can beadvantageously and safely combined, but instead omitted any suchdiscussion. Additionally, and I note this as another suspected weaknessin my mind of the medical work currently being done on diet, it seems thatall of the information is coming out of what I consider to be highlysuspicious "population" studies, as opposed to research onindividuals( ormonkees) on the chemical effects on a single individual ofsupplementation.If I am going to take 1000 grams of vitamin C per day, Iwould like to know the immediate and long term chemical effect, as opposedto knowing that 6000 people lowered their risk of heart attack by 19% by sotaking.And, then, immediately after reading the book, what do we get butone study concludingthat excess C contributes to, rather than prevents,the problem.But as an educational tool this is a very fine effort!
