Customer Reviews

Exellent Book!

There seems to be some disagreement in the reviews of the validity of this book. The foundation of this great book is the over "sugarization" of the American diet that is truly causing havoc to American health. I understand her positions on free range chickens, full spectrum light etc to get the most healthful food product. IMHO that is just a bit beyond the average busy person's time/tolerance for food shopping and preparation. The greatest value by far of this book is it's exposure of hypoglycemia as a serious health problem and its excellent breakdown of how to properly interpret the results of the glucose tolerance test. The disorder of hypoglycemia goes beyond "just having low sugar". Hypoglycemia ties to and creates a very large number of health and personality problems and this book documents that fact exceedingly well. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is overweight, diabetic (or going there),is depressed, has anxiety attacks, or just plain intersted in understanding why low carb is so popular and why it works.

This book is for everyone!

I love this book! If you suffer from hypoglycemia and/or have a weight problem, read this book. Actually, it should be read by everyone. I'm trying the Vim and Vigor diet that is suggested in the book and I already feel different. I don't feel like I'm in a fog or sluggish. Getting your blood sugar level makes a big difference and can help everyone. It is true that there is a lot of resistance by doctors to believe in this condition and I have had the displeasure of meeting a few of them. I wish all doctors would read this book.

BEST Healthbook EVER Written !

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 of 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 excpetional 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.

Someone FINALLY Understands !

Hypoglycemia is very misunderstood amongst the medical community. It is just not taken as seriously as perhaps it should be. I think hundreds of people are misdiagnosed, and reading a book like this is exactly what the doctors and those who suffer from this need.I have been suffering from hypoglycemia for as long as I can remember -- going through changes and visiting doctors. I have been treated for nearly everything stated in the book at one time or another. Now, that *I* understand and have shared this book with my doctor, I am FINALLY on my way to a better, more functional life.

Excellent!!

This book was extremely helpful in explaining exactly what hypoglycemics should eat. I also found myself paralleled in many real life stories throughout, behaviors that I thought were emotional problems and actually could have been hypoglycemia. A must read for anyone moody or irritable if you don't know why!!
