I have been through all the top diabetes programs in the country, counting carbs, limiting white flour and sugar, and I never got control of my Type 2 diabetes. I went through the program several months ago and it was incredible. At the time, I had lost 14 pounds in 18 days; you ask can you do this at home? YES - I have now lost 28 pounds, through many family gatherings, work events and stressful times, when I deviate from the lifestyle I do not feel as good. My asthma was gone in 3 days, my goal of climbing a flight of stairs was achieved and now I exercise at least 6 days a week, I miss it if I don't. My mood has remained positive; I have more energy and have noticed positive changes in many areas of my life.

I observed incredible improvements in other participants in the program. Walking without pain, less medications for their diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol. This way of 'medicine' is how we should be treated. Our physicians don't have the time to prevent illness, the health care system doesn't allow for it. Try this program you will be thrilled that you did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished this book, which I was able to buy early from a bookstore in Tenn. Wow is all I can say. This is a radically different idea for taking control of diabetes, but it's totally doable, and the science behind it is solid (there are something like 500 scientific refs in the back, supporting the claims). I also saw posted somewhere a blog from a guy who didn't read the book, but heard a 90 minute lecture from the authors (two docs and a patient who are on a national tour at the moment): this guy, from Valley Cottage, NY, lost 18 pounds and went from 30 units of insulin to NONE, within a month, and says his depression went away, too. That supports what they say in the book, that you can come off medicine in a healthy way.

I hope everyone who's struggling with diabetes or a weight problem will buy this book. I went through the program at LCA in Oklahoma, and although I don't have diabetes, my health and lifestyle has changed for the better in so many ways. I watched as people in wheelchairs literally walked out the door at the end of the program, many having stopped or lowered medications. I lost 45 pounds, have so much more energy, and can look forward to a longer, more enjoyable life because I've learned how to take care of myself, body, mind and spirit. If you're feeling hopeless, this is the book for you! Go for it! You can take control! :)
