I was diagnosed as "borderline hypoglycemic" when I was 19 after have a rootbeer float at lunch. At the same time I was told that low blood sugar "usually" turns into a full blown case of diabetes and that there was no Known cure for it.

By following the basic guidelines given in this book, I learned how to control my blood sugar level, how to tell when it was getting to low, or was to high. Its all in what is eaten and how often. What you eat today, will effect how you are going to feel tomorrow. After awhile, it all became a habit.

I'm quite happy to say that almost 30 years later, I still watch the signs, symptoms, know when to eat what. And am still "borderline hypoglycemic".

For many years I could not find an answer to my problems I experienced. I only knew that it was connected with nutrition and the book was an absolute eye opener to me. Now I feel much better having taken notice of Fredericks' advice in this book.

I would appreciate to get in touch with the autor and ask for his e-mail address or normal address, because in the New Low Blood Sugar and You book we found a mistake in the charts ( which did not relate to the page where they are described).

Excellent discussion of arthritis and nutrition. Focuses on three possible causes of arthritis: hypoglycemia, food allergies and vitamin deficiencies. The appendix contains an excellent summary of the uses of various vitamins and minerals. Valuable text for any non dogmatic person who considers good nutrition to be the basis of good health.

I bought this book 20 years ago, when it first came out; I am now rereading in light of the new findings about tamoxifen, which are that the drug prevents breast cancer by blocking harmful estrogens. Carlton Frederick all but predicted this, AND more importantly, he tells you the natural, nutritional way to block carcinogenic estrogens. Tamoxifen has nasty side effects, his dietary suggestions do not.

The book reflects my trail and error attempts at controling my blood sugar. I found a mistake on page 219 with respect to the glycemic index of skim milk and whole milk. The book states that skim milk has a lower glycemic index than whole milk when the opposite is true. Other than that, the book is great.

Quite simply, one of the best nutritionists there ever was...

Rational, sane, and coherent, follow Carlton Fredericks' advice: and read the other nutrition authors he recommends.

One place he falls short, is the environmental and psychological impact on health. All is not in food. One needs to get the unhealthy stresses and influences out of one's life. The issue, for example, of the company we keep, and its impact on our health, is not emphasised enough in his work.

But his dietary advice is intelligent, discretionary, and diverse. Fredericks is no 'food faddist.' Follow his advice, and you are well on the road to better health.

I wouldn't be without the Carlton Frederick's books I own, and always look to acquire more when I can find them. Heed his food advice. Heed his supplement advice. Believe me, you won't regret it. A truly worthy investment, from all points of view. And with all his well-researched expertise, he's got a sense of humor, too!

I read this book years ago when I was suffering from panic attacks. I must have went through a half dozen doctors before this one doctor recomended Frederick's book. I found all of my symptoms in this book and explained in simple words what was going on with my body. After following the diet in the book, my condition reversed itself. All my symptoms were gone. Thanks to this book I now live a normal life again.

I found this book to be limited in it's range.
Many items are listed accoring to the producers such as
Campbells,Planters etc. Not helpful if you don't use those
brands.
Also many items related to "fast food". Not helpful if you
don't buy "fast food".
