I was a young girl when my Mother was ill- and no one was able to fully understand her problems. She was not diabetic- but she had many symptoms. I do not remember how she heard of Dr Abrahamson, but he had an office in NYC- and my Grandfather would take her for visits. She did greatly improve- he did wonders for her- it was called HYPOGLYCEMIA- No drs really understood-they thought her imagination,etc. This man who did so much died early- I remember when it happened. Those that knew of him,know of the story. I presently have a similar problem- a recent blood test said 131, which is diabetic- I have no symptoms- but I get exhausted,etc. I have purchased a monitor, and I test 3x day- varies from very low to about 130- I am sure I have Hypoglycemia too- So, if you suspect you may, read this book, and follow your instincts.

This review is from: Body, Mind and Sugar (Paperback)

This book came out in the 1950s or early 1960s and it was the first that I knew that saw a relationship between mind and body. While most of the medical world was looking for id, ego, and superego to deal with depression, this book was saying that it was biochemical. In a lot of cases it was. The information is still good. It is amazing that he is so forgotten by the holistic practitioners. Dr. Emanuel Maurice Abrahamson was a genius on the same as Joseph Lister and Robert Koch.
