Be careful of those two books, they generally suck and only seem to be for making money now. The hsf is pretty crappy, their "newsletter" is nothing more than an occasional, scantly written email you get now and then. I don't know about the sugar blog thing, but having to pay so see something to help you is a bunch of crap, that's why I post here and don't get my info published. If I did I wouldn't be allowed to post things here anymore. Anyway, beware those books. Let me give you a highly informative sample of the dos and donts. Get ready for these gems.
1. Do check the floor or exercise area for anything hazardous. For example, if you choose to skip rope, make sure the floor is not slippery or wet.
My commentary: alright, thanks for that, how does this help me? Do you think people are this pathetic that they'd exercise on a wet floor in slippy shoes or something?
2. Do trim excess cuticles and hangnails carefully (this word is all in caps) wit a cuticle nipper.
My commentary: wow, I see how this relates to low blood sugar, thank you for informing me of the proper way to trim my nails so I don't lose too much body sugar from pus or something.
3. Do carry a health emergency card if you're experiencing many lbs symptoms; especially if you'v recently blacked-out or fainted. You can keep your card in your purse, car or briefcase - any place that can be seen in case of an emergency.
My commentary: hmmm, sounds like a good idea, a bracelet would be better, but okay. Good thing you told me to put it in my purse, car or briefcase, otherwise I would have thought my mouth or underwear would be best. So where do I get this card thing?
3 (continued)... To order a health emergency card, please see the back of the book for details.
My commentary: okay, I get it now, you're going to make the card for me and make a small profit off of it, good idea, here comes my check. Ummm, no.
Here are the books I suggest you pick up:
1. Hypoglycemia: the disease your doctor won't treat
it actually has a different title now, but I suggest the older version because the newer is more expensive and doesn't really add anything new. In addition, you can get it for way cheap off of internet sites.
2. Sugar blues
pretty disturbing book about how sugar has essentially ruined the world.
3. Hypoglycemia: a new approach
this book gives great info on organics, vitamins and so forth, but be careful because there is also misinformation present that can be hazardous. Read it carefully!
4. Hypoglycemia for dummies
probably the best of all, though it has its faults as well. Gives a great overview and tons of alternatives for different symptoms.
I have another good one, but it's currently not working, so i'll get back to you with that. Make sure you read over my diet.
