I have read the book and I will tell you this about it, there is nothing in the book that is not true, at least not that I could find. Basically good eating habits. He NEVER tells anyone to go off their insulin. He tells you to try his methods, herbs, teas and whole food vitamins. Keep track of your blood sugar and see if your blood sugar goes down.
I saw many opinions in this thread written by people that admitted to not reading the book. If you did not read it, you do not know what it says. How can you say it is a bunch of **** if you have no idea what the man is saying.
Like stony above sea coral for instance. Someone said, " I saw the coral calcium link you listed, Lee, and while he says that he's not responsible for killing undersea coral, where does he think the above sea coral came from? What a jerk." The truth is, what is the biggest difference between sea corral vs. above sea corral is that above sea corral is harvested way above sea level and does not destroy corral beds in the sea. It was also growing thousands of years ago so it has no chemicals from the industrial revolution. If you destroy the corral, you are destroying earth.
Now, I am not saying I think that his program is an answer for everyone, but if you follow the book, you will be healthier then if you continue eating hydrogenated foods and of course animal fats and organ meat have been known for a long time to be an unhealthy choice.
I do have one GIANT objection to his products, more then the book. He offers a kit that contains a bunch of whole food vitamins and neutracuticals consisting of 8 products. They only sent 7 and left out one of the ones I most wanted, acai plus which is a berry grown in the top of the rain forests. Good stuff. I have lost weight and gained health since I starting eating these berries in a smoothie each morning and evening. I mix a little soy milk, other fruits, a little honey, and it is great.
While I am not off of insulin, I am taking almost half of what I had been taking before I read and tried the book. The things he says are true. I just think his store is a rip off. At least it has a 30 day return on both the books and his product.
I have read the same things that this dr, Chappell talks about in his book in many of the naturopathic books of this time, and many past times as well. Is it an answer for everyone? Probably not. Will it work for everyone and will it cure diabetes? I don't know, but I do know I am taking less insulin, and less is always better when talking about medications.
I did not write this to offend anyone, I hope you do not take offence at what I have written. If you did, too bad because I did not say anything that was not true. To know if what is said in the book is true or not you would have first read the book and then you need to try it yourself and see for yourself if it works for you. I will say that it will not hurt you and is good for you.
Good Luck,
