My husband and I have been on the candida/hypoglycemia program for 7 days and we are both absolutely amazed at the difference we feel already and in such a short time.

When I wake up in the morning, I am now feeling rested and ready for the day. No longer do we get the “afternoon sleepies” and are sleeping much better at night. Increased energy levels are amazing.

I have not had the body aches and the lethargy/depression seem to have abated. Added benefit is we have both lost around 4 lbs in a week. We have been sticking to the diet pretty rigorously.

We did have one blip, which really brought home how bad refined sugar is. We went to a wedding Sunday and did well with the food, but broke down and had a piece of cake. We both had horrendous headaches the rest of the day into the evening and felt terrible. Lesson learned!

When I started the program, I figured a lot of the claims were hype, but if it worked half as well as claimed, I would be happy. Well, it works absolutely as well as stated on your website Client Letters and we are now true converts.

My mother died of pancreatic cancer 16 years ago in Germany. When you are diagnosed with this type of cancer, it is similar to a death sentence - this type of cancer is considered inoperable - there is really no hope at all.

My mother - being German - loved her sweets, her chocolates, her marzipan, her coffee laced with sugar, her French cognac, her glass of good white wine, her bread, etc. In other words, my mother was eating/drinking sugar containing high carb foods all day long.

The latest research findings from Sweden about sugar and pancreatic cancer are not too surprising, at least not to me. For years I have been advocating a no sugar, low carb diet life style to my local patients and my on-line clients.

The high consumption of sweetened food and drink increases the risk of developing pancreatic cancer,

According to a new study from Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, the following picture emerges: Most at risk to develop pancreatic cancer were those men and women who consumed high quantities of added sugar, soft drinks, and sweetened fruit soups or stewed fruit.

The study concluded: High consumption of sugar and high-sugar foods may be associated with a greater risk of pancreatic cancer.

Cancer is now the number one killer in the United States; it surpassed heart disease last year. Could that be related to the other societal health disasters that we find ourselves in?

High insulin levels are usually present and may be major contributing factors in both health problems.

The prevailing societal addiction to high carbohydrate foods has created a new and modern plague. Here is why:

Insulin removes sugar/glucose from the blood into the cells so the cells can make energy. Excess glucose not needed for cell energy is stored as glycogen and fat.

Continuous high carb consumption leads to chronically elevated insulin responses with the following devastating consequences:

The consumption of too many carbs too often leads to many other chronic health problems: hypertension, high levels of cholesterol and other lipids, heart disease, kidney disease, female infertility and degenerative changes in brain and nervous system.
