Type 2 diabetes is fast reaching epidemic proportions in the United States: More than 17 million Americans have been diagnosed with the disorder, and an estimated 16 million more are living with the disease but have yet to be diagnosed. What's worse, this disorder, formerly termed adult-onset diabetes, is being diagnosed in record numbers in adolescents and preteens. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently announced that one in three children born in 2000 will ultimately develop the condition. Americans are desperate for answers. But according to Frank Shallenberger, M.D., we've been looking in all the wrong places. In The Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough, Dr. Shallenberger presents his revolutionary approach to treating type 2 diabetes. He documents his extensive research, which shows that the root of diabetes is a decrease in energy production and fat metabolism, and describes in detail his patented Bio-Energy Test for measuring energy production, an integral part of diagnosing and treating diabetes. He then shows how to correct the factors that lead to thiscondition to stop the disease in its tracks. At the core of his treatment protocol is his unique perspective on nutritional guidelines for diabetes for optimal energy production. In fact, Dr. Shallenberger explains why the American Diabetes Association's dietary guidelines are nothing more than a recipe for keeping the disease. Another unique component of his treatment approach is an emphasis on optimizing liver function. Though conventional medicine focuses on the pancreas as the organ responsible for diabetes, Dr. Shallenberger has proven that the liver is the primary organ of importance in most cases of diabetes. And, of course, Dr. Shallenberger considers exercise to be an integral part of any successful treatment or prevention plan for type 2 diabetes, but not just any form of exercise will do. The exact level and type of exercise necessary is based upon the results of the Bio-Energy Test. In fact, Dr. Shallenberger's research has shown that most diabetics who exercise are working out too hard to get well! Rounding out Dr. Shallenberger's program are vital stress-reduction and sleep recommendations to improve blood sugar control and overall health. Despite all of conventional medicine's attempts at treating and preventing diabetes, its incidence continues to soar. It's time for a new-proven-approach. It's time for The Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough. Book jacket.
