Valuable Knowledge to Have

THIS BOOK CONTAINS A GREAT DEAL OF PRACTICAL HEALTH INFORMATION AND SOME INSIGHT INTO NEW TOOLS AND APPROACHES CURRENTLY BEING PURSUED IN BOTH CARDIO-VASCULAR CARE AND DIABETES. FOR ANYONE WITH DIABETES OR WITH EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPING HEART DISEASE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. IT IS ALSO FOR THOSE WITH ENOUGH FORESIGHT TO START WORKING NOW TO AVOID BOTH OF THESE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS. DR JOE IS BOTH A PIONEER AND AN EXPERT IN METABOLIC DISORDERS.

Uncommon and Inspiring

Dr. Joe and his book have inspired me to take better care of my health in more ways than one. Recently, I started to use a new drug called Byetta to control my diabetes and my weight after reading in his book how well his patients are doing on it. I am also doing flexibility training exercises as he recommends in his book. We have never met, but years ago I took part in his telemedicine program, and the care and concern that he gave me prompted me to take much better control my blood glucose. Dr. Joe is truly an uncommon doctor. In addition to being at the leading edge of endocrinology, he is also an uncommon human being. The following story clearly illustrates that. A friend of mine, John Dodson, shared this story with me about Dr. Joe and gave me permission to use it here. "I have read Joe's book and now have a deeper understanding of who he is," John says. "If you don't mind I will tell a story that I feel tells me who Joe is actually. After I had been diagnosed in 1985 I started seeing Joe as my endo. But I fell into denial, as most of us do. I missed appointments, thought of excuses to call and cancel. This went on for 6 to 9 months. One day I returned from making afternoon calls, and my secretary said there was someone waiting in my office and that he had been there for over an hour. It was Joe. He said, 'Since I didn't figure you were going to come and see me I decided to come and visit you.' I was dumbfounded. Needless to say, I never missed an appointment nor called in with an excuse again. I was shocked."

A straightforward truth!

Dr. Joe's book touched me deeply when he had the courage to tell his story of illness, and how he had to step out of the bounds if his medical training to find his answers. As a result I find his suggestions for reversing the symptoms of the two deadliest diseases in America today to be a phenomenal breakthrough and a relief for those suffering from diabetes, the scourge of this century. I read the book from cover to cover in one easy sitting. Then I went back and started making notes on Dr. Joe's suggestions that I wanted to apply. After reading Dr. Joe's book, I am encouraged to take a more active role in my health care, and not be discouraged.There is light at the end of the tunnel.
