An excellent book which gives the experience of Hygiene doctors with
getting
many adult onset diabetics off insulin thru dietary/lifestyle changes is
covered in the book "FASTING AND EATING FOR HEALTH"
By Dr. Joel Furhman M.D.   This book also gives the Hygiene view of the
dangers of a high protein, high fat/low carb diet and dangers of high
refined carb diet..    Available from the American Natural Hygiene Society.
