I did not find the information in this book helpful. I am a newly diagnosed Type II diabetic and I couldn’t believe all the restrictions.

I would recommend the book, “The Insulin Resistance Diet”, by Cheryle R. Hart, M.D. and Mary Kay Grossman, R.D. This book made sense.

This book gave me a clear view of what hypoglycemia was all about. It gave me information my Dr. did not. It answered all my questions. I showed it to my Dr. and he said he would recommend it to his other hypoglycemic patients. It is a “must read”.

If you are SERIOUSLY interested in living a longer, healthier, more productive & happier life [or if you know someone else who would be] – read this book ASAP!

Don’t let the title fool you. This book is not just for hypoglycemics. It is for anyone that has ANY health problem, physical & neurological.

If you are hypoglycemic / suspect you might be, “The Classic Healthcare Handbook” will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know to diagnose & treat this often undiagnosed, insidious health problem that many “experts” says doesn’t exist! I can tell you that it is indeed very real, and it can make your life a “living hell”.

“Hypoglycemia” gives the most compelling reasons yet why we need to eat truly healthy foods (including animal-based & derived protein) and why we need to eliminate ALL of the “supermarket scams” & “fast-food frauds” from our diets if we are to ever be truly free of the diseases that plague our society.

The author (Jeraldine Saunders) tells of her real-life tragedy that took her daughter’s life at a very early age due to medical ignorance & arrogance. This paves the way for describing the dibilitating effects of hypoglycemia – and how it affects nearly 50% of all Americans, wreaking havoc on their physical & mental health, thus robbing them of the joy of living.

Being a hypoglycemic & the owner of a “true” vitamin / nutrition store, I can honestly say this book has already made a huge impact on my life – and I know it will on yours too!

If you have a child that has ADD / ADHD, you will almost certainly find “the cause & the cure” in this excepetional work.

You may want to buy several copies of this life-changing book to give to family, friends, neighbors, etc. It may just save their lives.

Of all the research I have done on blood sugar and hypoglycemia over the past year, I was convinced that there wasn’t anything new that yet another book on hypoglycemia could say. I was wrong! I found this book to be quite amazing and the most complete that I have read so far. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any good books out there explaining blood sugar regulation as a whole, only the two extremes… hypoglycemia and diabetes.

I am a strong believer in naturopathic medicine and the use of complimentary medicine. So this book may have things that the typical main stream community doesn’t believe in (hypoglycemia itself, but also the benefits of raw milk, etc). This is a book that gives a general overview of all things related to hypoglycemia, the history, what it is, what it means, management, etc. Even recipes. For good general purpose recipes, use “500 low-carb recipes” by Dana Carpender. It has become my cookbook bible. But the recipes in this book offer a bit of variety that one might not normally find in the average low-carb cookbook. Variety is always a good thing in a diet that can feel restricted at times!

However, as previously stated in another post, be careful about the diet restrictions and supplement recommendations. Hypoglycemia can have devastating effects that are highly personalized and as this book stresses, every individual has their own special nutritional needs. Seek a good nutritionist or even a naturopath (if you feel comfortable with that) who is trained extensively in both nutrition and giving medical care. Don’t ever take a book or (even your doctor/nutritionist’s) words as ultimate truth, always always research all sides of an recommendation.

This is the revised version of the pioneering book by Harvey Ross, MD. It has been revised after his death and updated to include topics written by other doctors. PLEASE do not be put off by the recipes, which are not to my taste either, or the radical side-topics by the new doctors. It was revised with the good intentions of appealing to a wider audience. What is of MAJOR IMPORTANCE are the parts that were actually written by Dr. Ross addressing hypoglycemia. This disease has never been taken seriously enough and now, in spite of the modern hoopla over the glycemic index and insulin resistance, TRUE HYPOGLYCEMICS still get lost in the shuffle. The GI is actually not very helpful to hypoglycemics because shades of grey among foods we shouldn’t be eating in the first place don’t matter. To really recover from this disease, it must be treated as its own illness. Dr. Ross elevates understanding to the proper level. And the tragic story about Jeraldine’s daughter gives the graphic impact needed to take it seriously. I was a patient of Dr. Ross’s in 1985. He saved my life. Get this book for the pioneering information on hypoglycemia and the interpretation of the 5-hour glucose tolerance test.
