Product name: Diabetes Symptoms Guide

Author: Gary Sanders

Gary Sanders is diabetic. He makes the bold claim that his e-book is the best resource on the Internet to expose, explore, and manage diabetes; and that any questions or concern you have ever had will finally be answered. Mr Sanders says that after almost 10 years of continuing education in diabetes he is an expert on Type I, Type II, and gestational diabetes. This offered the prospect of a highly informative book written from the unique perspective of a sufferer.

From his claims of expertise I was expecting an erudite text. What Mr. Sanders presents is a clear, well written but elementary description of the different forms of diabetes and their symptoms. The chapter on preventing and managing diabetes by changing your diet is equally basic. The strength of this work is that it provides a quick overview of the subject whilst directing the reader to seek expert medical attention where appropriate. Despite the typographical error, Mr. Sanders does not intend his book to be a self-diagnosis tool.

The book is sub-titled “Your complete guide to exposing, exploring, and managing diabetes” which is an exaggeration, while its title “Diabetes Symptoms Guide” is accurate.

At only 28 pages long including the title page and written in a large typeface in double line spacing this book will appeal to those who are looking for a short, easy to read guide to the symptoms of diabetes.  

Despite its brevity, the book would have benefited from having the pages numbered and a cross referenced table of contents.

To his credit, Mr. Sanders also includes a recipe book containing 500 recipes suitable for diabetics. In contrast to the book, the index of recipes is hyperlinked to the relevant recipe for easy navigation.

All the recipes use US weights and measures as well as temperature settings in degrees Fahrenheit whereas virtually the whole of the rest of the English speaking world as well as Europe use kilograms, litres and the Celsius temperature scale. A recipe book being sold on the World Wide Web ought to use both systems of measurement. 

Notwithstanding the lack of metric weights and measures, the inclusion of the recipes transforms the book into a genuinely useful product offering good value for money that I can recommend.

Review of “The Diabetes Miracle Breakthrough”
Author: Mark Anastasi

I have to confess that my first impression on seeing a brief description of Mark Anastasi’s e-book was that here is another passing fad targeted at vulnerable people. Having someone very close to me who is in the pre-diabetes stage was enough to cause me to investigate further whilst remaining sceptical. I bought Mark Anastasi’s e-book, which comes with a money back guarantee. So, if my initial scepticism was justified I could get my money back. But I won’t be asking for a refund! This is not some passing fad.

Based on up-to-date scientific thinking and research and some not so new but proven methods, Anastasi brings a fresh insight to how we perceive and treat diabetes.

Traditionally, diabetes has been viewed as a disease that has to be treated by taking insulin shots. Anastasi asserts that diabetes is not a disease but a symptom – a symptom of a pancreas that is so damaged it cannot produce the insulin your body needs. More than that, the root cause of diabetes in the ‘Western’ World is our modern diet and lifestyle.

The good news is that you can do something about it. For those people with diabetes willing to change their diet and to make some simple lifestyle changes Anastasi describes a safe, natural and holistic way for your body to produce more insulin.

Diabetes is the product of diet and lifestyle, according to research quoted by Anastasi. We are, he says, literally digging our graves with our teeth! By which he means that our modern diet is so deficient in nutrients that our bodies are not getting enough of the vital vitamins and minerals we need to stay healthy. Moreover, much of the food we eat today has been processed and contains substantial amounts of salt, sugar and saturated fats.

He advocates food combining as the appropriate diet for diabetes sufferers as well as avoiding dairy products. Drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco products are also to be avoided.

Modern sedentary life, Anastasi says, means we are not getting enough oxygen into our blood through aerobic exercise and correct breathing. 1 in 3 Americans get cancer, he says, but only 1 in 7 of American athletes.

I said above that Anastasi promotes a holistic approach to the subject. An important element of which is our mental state. We become what we think. That may seem a bit metaphysical, but such ideas have been in the mainstream for 50 years.

The central message of this e-book is start thinking “health” and treating the cause of diabetes.

Anastasi challenges many of our deeply held cultural and culinary beliefs and traditions. Some people may find this hard to accept. This e-book is not for you if you are unwilling to adopt a healthy diet based on the principles of food combining and to make the small but necessary adjustments to your lifestyle. Follow this link to get more information so that you can make an informed choice.

Those people with diabetes willing to follow the diet and lifestyle advice given by Anastasi (or at least give it a serious try) can expect to see a gradual but steady drop in their blood sugar levels with a corresponding reduction in their dependence on support from insulin shots. These are the first steps to freedom from a life of taking insulin. This e-book is a must have if you are serious about treating the cause of your diabetes. There is more information here.

My household is giving Anastasi’s diet and lifestyle advice a serious go. We have already noticed improvements in our health. I whole heartedly recommend that you buy this e-book.
