Product Description

Foreword by Mehmet Oz, co-author of YOU: ON A DIET and YOU: AN OWNER'S MANUAL.

This ground-breaking book reveals how insulin resistance is linked to heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, overweight, childhood behavioral disorders, depression, high blood pressure, and more. It also provides information on how to get insulin under control.

While insulin is most closely associated with diabetes it is, in fact, the culprit in the diseases that are making the American population ill -- heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer’s. Insulin is the hormone that helps the body use glucose, when insulin and glucose are out of balance glucose builds up in the blood, leading to inflammation which can cause disease in any number of the body’s systems. Drawing on the latest scientific research on the role insulin plays in the systems of the body, this book presents information on nutrition and exercise that will battle increased insulin levels, reduce insulin resistance, and keep the entire body healthy and free of disease.

Nutrition and exercise are the keys to controlling insulin levels and keeping the entire body healthy and the book provides extensive information on how and what to eat to not only prevent disease and improve overall health – it explains the effect of insulin on physical and mental function and tells you what to do for a particular concern be it heart disease, brain aging, or diabetes.

Freedom from Disease is comprehensive, well-researched, and will give you the tools you need to effectively reduce insulin levels and maintain excellent health.

4 out of 5 stars Very good Science to back of Theory   October 27, 2008
This book will scare you into leading a better lifestyle. I appreciated the science but it may be a little too much science for the average lay person. The recipe and 3 week diet fell a little short. The book advocates Mediteranian and Japanese diet but this is mostly Asian with lots of items most people won't be familar with like agar flakes and umeboshi vinegar. Books says avoid dry fruit but many of the breakfast ideas include raisins. Maybe berries would have been a better pick. Basically the menus don't always jive with the recomendations. I would follow Dr. Weils anti-inflamation diet as it is easier to follow. Also theory gives no explanation for the 40% of people that get cancer and disease and are not overweight. Are these people still insulin resistant but don't gain weight? I was glad I read the book. Finally the medical community is giving us some information that makes sense.

It took the post office almost a month to deliver this book so I'm not as far along as I had hoped. However it is clear, concise, easy to understand and I don't know why someone hasn't put this together before now.

Short Review - this is an excellent book. People need to take responsibility for their personal wealth by managing their own diet and exercise and to stop assigning blame to parents, heredity, and their doctors. Type II diabetes is not inevitable and actually can be reversed in its early stages if the patient chooses to change their lifestyle.

I have been following the suggestions of this book for eight weeks.
I have lost a lot of inches and weight. My blood sugars have dropped to an acceptable level and I feel a great deal better. I have recommended the book to several family members and friends. They are also seeing very positive results. My grateful thanks to Peter Morgan Kash and Jay Lombard.
