Book Description

June 9, 2009

While insulin is most closely associated with diabetes, it is actually the culprit of a number of diseases that are making the American population ill—heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer’s, among others. This groundbreaking book reveals how insulin resistance is linked to these diseases—and how you can get insulin under control to keep yourself healthy.

Freedom from Disease provides a comprehensive program for effectively reducing insulin levels and maintaining excellent health. Peter Morgan Kash and Jay Lombard, D.O., will show you:

How and why insulin is the key to health and illness
How insulin resistance arises even in people who don’t have diabetes
How to assess your insulin levels
The real connection between stress and insulin
A food and supplement program that will keep your insulin levels in check, protect you against a host of diseases, and help you feel your best

Drawing on the latest scientific research on the role that insulin plays in the body, this book presents information on nutrition and exercise that will battle increased insulin levels, reduce insulin resistance, maintain health, and reduce disease.

Review

“Peter Kash, Jay Lombard, and Tom Monte have provided a penetrating analysis of what’s going wrong in the human body and what we can all do to restore our health.” - from the foreword by Mehmet Oz, M.D., coauthor of You: On a Diet and You: An Owner’s Manual

“Read this book—it will save your life.” —Mark Hyman, M.D., author of The UltraMind Solution and the New York Times bestseller Ultrametabolism

“This is an amazingly clear, compelling, and scientifically rigorous work that replaces existing compendia of arcane knowledge around health and wellness.” -Joe Alexander, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.C., adjunct assistant professor of biomedical engineering, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

"Some of the most common health concerns we face today- diabetes, depression, fatigue, obesity and memory loss may be a consequence of insulin resistance. The authors clearly present the research that supports this assertion and the steps each and everyone of us must take to achieve a healthy life" -Dr. Robert Goldman MD, Ph.D., DO, FAASP, chairman of A4M International

“Freedom from Disease clearly and eloquently opens the eyes of its readers to the inherent risks and maladies lurking when the human machine is taken for granted and offers solutions to keep the most efficient machine known, the human body, well tuned.” -Dr. Robert Gotlin, Director of Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation at Beth Israel Medical Center and orthopedic consultant to the New York Knicks, Yankees, Liberty, and New Jersey Nets

“Kash and Lombard have written an important and enjoyable book that should be of great interest to all.  Particularly in the area of cardiovascular disease which is responsible for the most deaths in the US even exceeding cancer, they lay out the compelling interrelationship between insulin resistance and inflammation of the arterial wall leading to heart attack and ultimately to heart failure.  The most important contribution of this book however is its “call to arms” and how individuals can influence their own health destiny by discipline in what they eat and how they exercise to prevent chronic disease.”
-Dr. John C. Burnett, Jr.,MD., Marriott Family Professor of Cardiovascular Research, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN

“The authors clearly document the current epidemic of obesity and the alarming increases in a number of diseases ranging from diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and endocrine and immune pathologies, all due to the excess of sugar in western diets.” -Dr. Allan Goldstein Ph.D., Chairman of Chemistry and Molecular Biology at George Washington University

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT "BAD" FOODS DO TO YOU, July 30, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book doesn't tell us anything new about which foods are "bad" for us, BUT it gives an extremely comprehensive view of HOW certain substances adversely affect us and WHY we shouldn't overindulge in them. Becoming resistant to insulin precedes multiple major health problems. The book is an impressive study, and easy to follow.

2.0 out of 5 stars Insulin Is Indeed The Problem, But This Is NOT The Solution!, March 23, 2009
It's becoming more and more commonplace, but Peter Morgan Cash and Jay Lombard want to make sure people know about it loud and clear-INSULIN is at the heart of most of the preventable diseases in modern society. Until we get this hormone under control inside of our bodies, no progress will be made on such health issues as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, obesity, depression, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and more. We are people who are walking around with insulin in excess which leads to inflammation and disease occurring in epidemic proportions. To attain "freedom from disease," the authors draw from current research on this subject and interview some of the biggest names is health today-to the detriment of the message, I believe. What starts off as a good premise for a book with a spot-on message quickly turns into more of the same we've always heard. Eat less fat. Eat more "good" whole grain-based carbs. Yadda yadda yadda. If the authors truly wanted to share information that would help to bring insulin under control for good, then they would have included much of the breadth of research that has been done on carbohydrate-restriction over the past decade in this book. But if you look up "low-carb" in the index at the back of the book, you'll come up empty. That's too bad because I think they have correctly identified the problem...they just missed the ultimate solution by a long shot!
