• Reversing Diabetes Book 12 January, 2009
Very good book! Great information. After 2 weeks on this diet, my husband's blood pressure has returned to normal levels and he now controls his diabetes with diet and 3 daily diabetes pills. He will be exercising and losing 30 pounds and hopes he will be able to discontinue the medication altogether. We are working closely with a Endocrinologist and still monitor his sugars and blood pressure closely.
This book was very helpful!

• Amazon: Ripoff Extraordinary 14 January, 2008
book was quoted to me at one price, billed at a higher price. i cancelled order but amazon shipped it any way.
i couldn't understand return instructions so i wrote amazon twice. weeks have gone by with no response.
i got in touch with dhl and they instructed me how to return book. good thing cause amazon couldn't be bothered.
i returned the unopened package. the box was crushed so badly dhl couldn't scan the shipping label.
haven't heard a word from amazon until this review solicitation.
bottom line is don't do business with amazon they are a ripoff and are clueless as how to properly do business.
thank you for you time

• Helped Me To Understand Diabetes Better. 23 May, 2008
I was diagnosed a month ago with type 2 diabetes. Although I have a very mild form of it and my doctor is hopeful that it can be reversed I was terrified. I didn't want to go down the road of amputations, blindness, and kidney disease. That's when I found this book. I have a better understanding of diabetes now and a low glycemic diet makes perfectly good sense to me. I've been eating a plant based diet for a month and have lost 21 pounds and my blood sugars are normal.
There are quite a few reviews that say diabetics need to avoid carbohydrates-that's horse and buggy thinking. It is now known that diabetics need carbohydrates-it is the fuel that our bodies use. What diabetics need to change is the source of those carbohydrates. The less refined food we eat the better blood sugar control we have. As Dr. Whitaker says it's not the quantity of carbohydrates it's the quality. So those people with negative reviews either haven't kept up to date with the latest diabetes information or they didn't read the book. I'm even going to send this to my sister whose diabetes is out of control. Maybe it will help her as it's done for others.

• Heavy Reading 15 November, 2008
The first two thirds of this book contain everything known by Dr. Julian Whitaker (and it is a lot!) about diabetes -- the history, the research, previous attempts at control, effects of medicinal solutions. If you're a "I must know" type, then read, read, read. However, if you want to get to 'the program', skip directly to Chapter 13; "How to Implement the Diet for Reversing Diabetes." A friend who has successfully followed this program says that Dr. Whitaker's cookbook [ASIN:0446691410 Reversing Diabetes Cookbook: More Than 200 Delicious, Healthy Recipes]] is the better way to go. Wish I had started there!

• He's Done It Again 07 February, 2009
Do you have diabetes and are confused with all the information or lack of out there? Are you wondering how to get better and reverse this condition and keep yourself health? Then this book is for you.
Dr. Whitaker has done it again. He has written another well written and concise book on health. Reversing Diabetes describes why people who have diabetes need to change their diet and need to exercise before taking medication. This is no scare book though he explains the dangers of drugs and insulin, the information is real. Most of the book explains that just changing diet and exercise for type 2 diabetics can lower diabetes greater then any medication and can even allow you to stop taking your medications. He states that many doctors and patients are often too lazy to try these methods first. Many doctors feel that most people will not try to loose weight and just hand over a pill their patients. I surmise that many patients do not understand the disease fully (explained here) so they are helpless but to listen to what the doctor says. Many doctors say "Change your diet and Exercise", leave the patient to figure out what this means and doing it. Dr. Whitaker is knowledgeable and has researched the subject and gives the importance of both activities and why they work. Why specific actives are not mentioned, he tells you the type which is further then most doctors have given.
He doesn't just give the advise "Exercise and eat right", but he give the details on how to do it and how to do it safely. While I know most doctors will not write out a prescription for exercise of even do a stress test (which he recommends) to see if some one should exercise and what types are best it is up to you to request them. So he explains the best activities and how to get the most out of them. He also explains the benefits which seem like common since, yet most people are even aware of.
His diet is not the usual restrictive diet you see else where. While he doesn't want you eating white (sugar, flour, potatoes), he tells you why. He also gives you plenty of alternatives and substitutes on what to eat and the portion size you should eat them in. This was a real eye opener and I have started using the method to loose several pounds.
This is an excellent book with one noted exception, he mentions his wellness institute, two supplement he offers and his health and nutrition bar. From my experience, these are expensive, but are not necessary to complete his plan for reversing diabetes. So this is a minor inconvenience. There are only a few testimonials which is refreshing because other books of this topic spout out endless of tired success stories which add nothing but page to the book. I have to commend Dr. Whitaker on this.
The information covered in the book: What is Diabetes, Problems with drug therapies, The Whitaker Wellness Institute Program for reversing Diabetes, and putting the program into practice.
If you are a diabetic, pre- diabetic or just curious, each part of the book will help you in your everyday life in maintaining and controlling your blood glucose levels if you follow the plan in this well written book.
This is the second wonderful book I read by Dr. Whitaker and they are both worth the read.
Enjoy
