Product Description In "The Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough," Frank Shallenberger, M.D., presents his revolutionary approach to treating type 2 diabetes. He documents his extensive research, which shows that the root of diabetes is a decrease in energy production and fat metabolism, an integral part of diagnosing and treating diabetes. He then shows how to correct the factors that lead to this condition to stop the disease in its tracks. At the core of his treatment protocol is his unique perspective on nutritional guidelines for diabetes for optimal energy production. In fact, Dr. Shallenberger explains why the Ameican Diabetes Association's dietary guidelines are nothing more than a recipe for keeping the disease. Another unique component of his treatment approach is an emphasis on optimizing liver function. Though conventional medicine focuses on the pancreas as the organ responsible for diabetes, Dr. Shallenberer has proven that the liver is the primary organ of importance in most cases of diabetes. And, of course, Dr. Shallenberger considers exercise to be an integral part of any successful treatment or prevention plan for type 2 diabetes, but not just any form of exercise will do. The exact level and type of exercise necessary is based upon the results of the Bio-Energy Test. In fact, Dr. Shallenberger's research has shown that most diabetics who exercise are working out too hard to get well! Rounding out Dr. Shallenberger's program are vital stress-reduction and sleep recommendations to improve blood sugar control and overall health. Despite all of conventional medicines's attempts at treating and preventing diabetes, its incidence continues to soar. It's time for a new-proven-approach. It's time for "The Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough".

Endocrinology, for if you want to understand or actively manage your diabetes that much better August 31, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
What's great about this is that it has more endocrinology than any other diabetes book I've seen. And, not only does he explain it, but gives some supplementation advice (over the counter and otherwise) to give you ways to tackle it.
The 'breakthrough' is that he's got an overarching theory about diabetes, that it's the loss of the ability to generate energy as you get older. When you're younger, you generate most of your energy from fat; you stop producing some hormones and come to rely on carbs more as you age.
But it's not a mystical theory, just a convenient wrapper for a lot of facts - he refers to many, many studies throughout - he's plugged-in to the research, and gives details and mechanisms.
Anyway, it's a great consumer-level endocrinology book, it goes into, with satisfying but not stultifying detail, hormones such as DHEA, cortisol, testosterone, estrogen, and the importance of your liver. If you actively manage your diabetes, and don't have a book with a similar level of detail, this one's pretty good. It can answer questions a couple levels of cause back, such as, why you might not have been able to 'hold your carbs' for the past few days (too little sleep? too little exercise?)
He has association with some institute with 'homeopathic' in the title, but he's an M.D., it may be just the name, there was nothing outside of medical science in the book apart from meditation, but, given how stress affects your hormones, good for him. He spends the beginning of the book talking about his inventions of measures of how you produce your energy, which you have to find a center for to take - but he's not just selling something, the rest of the book is well worth the price (to me) without it, and he may well prove to be out in front.
Very interesting, and very informative. It left me wishing for more, but, that's at least not entirely the fault of Dr Shallenberger, unfortunately there's a lot that just isn't known about diabetes.
Beating Type 2 Diabetes March 12, 2007 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm glad I spent the money for this book. Bioenergy testing facilities seem to be scarce hereabouts. It is some help that Schallenberger's supplement regimen lists the ingredients. I still have the impression that type 2 is not a disease but merely a condition that results from vitamin/mineral shortages plus too many calories and too little exercise.
