Download or read book The Natural Woman s Guide to Living with the Complications of Diabetes written by M. Sara Rosenthal and published by Career Press. This book was released on 2002-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2004, one in four North Americans over the age of 45 will be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (90% of all diabetes in North America is Type 2). In communities at higher risk, this statistic is even more frightening. Female hormonal fluctuations often cause blood sugar and insulin levels to vary more widely in women than in men. As a result, the complications faced by women with diabetes can be more insidious. Dr. M. Sara Rosenthal explains the range of complications associated with diabetes in the female body, focusing sharply on stopping them before they start -- naturally. Type 2 diabetes is in itself not life threatening, but the complications that can develop from failing to manage the disease are. This book concentrates mainly on the complications of diabetes in women and presents strategies to prevent or treat the complications naturally -- through diet, vitamin and mineral supplements, herbs, exercise, movement, and alternative styles of healing. Complications of diabetes include everything from heart attacks, strokes, diabetic neuropathy (which can lead to the loss of nerve function from head to toe and, eventually, to amputation), blindness or low vision, dental complications, kidney problems, and sexual dysfunction. To combat these problems, Dr. Rosenthal also provides strategies for Type 2 diabetic women, from blood sugar management, to reducing damage to kidneys, to staying naturally sexy. Each of the chapters contains alternative approaches to dealing with a specific complication, including sections on "What to Eat" (food and supplements), "How to Move" (exercises and body work), and "Flower Power" (herbs and aromatherapy).

Download or read book Imagine Living Without Type 2 Diabetes written by J. Murray Hockings and published by Advantage Media Group. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Your return to health starts here!

Download or read book Life Without Diabetes written by Roy Taylor and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE US EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A momentous medical breakthrough —a scientifically proven program for managing and reversing Type 2 Diabetes at any stage of health. The fastest growing disease in the world, Type 2 diabetes has long been regarded as an incurable, lifelong condition that becomes progressively worse over time, resulting in pain, loss of vision, amputation, and even premature death. But there is hope. For more than four decades, Dr. Roy Taylor has been studying the causes of diabetes. In 2017, he had a breakthrough: he found scientific proof that Type 2 diabetes is not only reversible, but that anyone following a simple regimen can prevent and cure it. Dr. Taylor’s research shows that Type 2 diabetes is caused by too much fat in the liver and pancreas, which interferes with both organs’ normal functioning. By losing less than 1 gram of fat, the liver and organ can begin to perform as they were designed to once again—thus beginning the reversal process. The most efficient way to shed fat from the liver and pancreas is to lose weight as quickly as possible. Life Without Diabetes makes it easy for people to cut back on their daily calorie intake and avoid the two big problems of dieting—hunger and choice—and lose up to 35 pounds in just eight weeks. Thanks to Dr. Taylor, we can now fundamentally change how we treat and prevent this debilitating and all-too-common disease forever.
