Moreover, monomine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI's), which have been used as a treatment have such dangerous side effects that they are rarely used.

Diabetes is on the increase. And it is largely due to obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. Diabetes is related to inheritance, poor diet and lifestyle choices and being a couch potato.

The current buzz word concerning the cause of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is metabolic syndrome, previously called Syndrome X.

The lowly mushroom, grown quietly, in the dark, has suddenly sprung onto the health scene as a miracle cure. Once castigated as a mere fungus, the mushroom has acquired a signature cachet in the form of active hexose-correlated compound (AHCC), a nutritional product made from healing mushrooms fermented in rice bran. AHCC is used in over 700 clinics and hospitals in Japan, mainly in cancer treatment.

Now AHCC: The Medical Breakthrough in Natural Immunotherapy reveals what the Japanese have known for decades: AHCC is as well-researched as any conventional prescription drug. The quality control of AHCC is so stringent that it would easily qualify as a licensed pharmaceutical, but the manufacturers believe that this would limit its availability to the many people in Japan—healthy people, who use it as a preventive as well as for a variety of other purposes. Because it is actually a mushroom-based food, even though it is often made available in capsule form, it is extremely safe for anyone to take, including children, pets, frail elderly people, and patients who have undergone surgery.

AHCC: The Medical Breakthrough in Natural Immunotherapy explores AHCC in depth, explaining:

• How it is manufactured
• How it is used in clinics in Japan and other parts of the world
• Its safety and efficacy
• The scientific evidence supporting its striking versatility and profound effectiveness for a wide variety of conditions

AHCC: The Medical Breakthrough in Natural Immunotherapy will introduce you to AHCC and expand your knowledge of one of the most important food supplements available on the market today.

“Provacative and exciting… [it] deserves a prominent place in the library of anyone serious about self health care." –Vitality magazine
Don't bother looking in the history books for what has killed the most Americans. Look instead at our dinner tables. We eat too much of the wrong foods and not enough of the right foods. Scientific research continually indicates nationwide vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our country, and we spend nearly three trillion dollars each year on disease care. Is it any surprise that doctors consistently place among the highest incomes? Andrew Saul has seen enough of this situation, and in Doctor Yourself, he gives you the power you need to change it. Citing abundant scientific evidence as well as case studies from his decades of practice, Dr. Saul explodes the myth that an army of medical specialists and pharmaceutical drugs is necessary to maintain health. The human body evolved to live well and fight off disease on a supply of only a couple of dozen essential nutrients. Unfortunately, modern diets provide catastrophically inadequate levels of those nutrients.
Using the guidelines set out in Doctor Yourself, you can not only prevent disease from getting a foothold in the first place, but also cure yourself of illnesses already in progress without resorting to drugs and surgery. One of the most popular guides to nutritional therapy ever published, Doctor Yourself is now updated and expanded with the latest research and additional topics, providing proven methods for combating an even wider variety of health conditions. Whether he is delivering commonsense tips on subjects such as weight loss and longevity or praising the healthy glow of a carotene tan, Dr. Saul takes the starch out of healthcare and makes taking charge of your family's health a fun and valuable experience.
