ANCIENT SECRET of the FOUNTAIN of YOUTH - by Peter Kelder

ANCIENT SECRET of the FOUNTAIN of YOUTH - by Peter Kelder


FROM the INSIDE BOOK COVER:

It's the late 1920's in colonial India.

Driven by a seemingly irrational wish, an aging British Army officer embarks upon an adventure of discovery that leads to forbidden Tibet - an ancient land obscured by centuries of isolation; a land of wonder, where miraculous feats are part of everyday life. There, in the shadows of the earth's tallest mountains, he stumbles on the hidden Shangri - la, a mysterious place without time where people age but somehow never grow old.

So begins Peter Kelder's chronicle of Colonel Bradford, whose extraordinary adventure brings him back to the West years later at 73, looking and acting like a man of 45!

How did he accomplish this remarkable feat of rejuvenation? The secret says Bradford, is a series of 5 ancient Tibetan exercises, which anyone can perform in a matter of minutes. These simple exercises - which he calls the 5 Rites - restore youthful health and vitality by balancing and harmonizing invisible energy vortexes (chakras) within the body.

DR. NEAL BARNARD'S PROGRAM for REVERSING DIABETES







Page 9) Diabetes Diets


If you have diabetes, chances are you were given guidelines on what to eat and what to avoid. Perhaps you have met with a dietician, and you may have been referred to a diabetes class. Unfortunately, most people do not get the ongoing support they need to make dietary changes, and as a result, this well - meaning effort may not have much effect.


For many years, the ADA has offered diet recommendations designed to provide basic nutrition while also keeping calorie intake and food choices reasonably stable over the course of the day and from one day to the next. The idea was that if you had no carbohydrates for breakfast but then had a big carb - fest later in the day, your blood sugar would change erratically. Similarly, if you had lots of starchy foods on Monday but went low - carb the rest of the week, your blood sugar would be all over the map, and your medications could not keep up with you.


Following the ADA guidelines, you would first meet with a registered dietician, who would lay out an individualized plan describing specific numbers of servings of various foods for your meals and snacks, taking into account your need to reduce your weight or cholesterol and your use of medications. Within your plan, you would be able to choose foods using "exchange lisits." That is, if the dietician prescribed a certain number of starch servings at breakfast, for example, you could decide whether that starch is 1/4 of a bagel, one slice of raisin bread, 1/2 cup of cereal, or any other choice on the starch exchange list. Likewise, if your meal plan called for you to have a piece of fruit, you could pick from a range of choices with similar nutritional makeups.


Page 10) The guidelines do improve most people's eating habits.


The diet you will read about in this book is completely different. For many people, it is much easier as well as much more effective and up - to - date. Now, consulting a registered dietician is still a  good idea because he or she can guide you in the approach described in the following chapters. Take this book with you; your dietician can help you get started.


Drugs and Money


The diet you will read about in this book is powerful. Unfortunately, the power of nutrition is neglected in many medical practices, and in the process, diabetes treatment is reduced to a series of prescriptions. Don't misunderstand me. Diabetes medications can be lifesaving. They can reduce your blood sugar and, over the long run, cut your risk of complications. And if diet and lifestyle changes do not do the job, it is a serious mistake to forgo medications. But some doctors and patients view medications as the only tools at their disposal. The marketing of pharmaceuticals has so dominated medical practice that many doctors give little more than lip service to diet and exercise, which can often be dramatically effective.


Page 11) Open any diabetes journal and you will see expensive advertisements for this drug and that drug. The manufacturers even advertise in popular magazines, encouraging readers to ask their doctors for prescriptions.


At the ADA annual meetings, drug company representatives arrive at the loading dock looking as if they are preparing to put on an enormous political convention. You, the drug consumer, are stuck with the bill for all this. A typical diabetes pill contains a few cents' worth of active medication, but the retail cost is heavily inflated by its manufacturer's promotional expenses and its continued efforts to find yet another pill that can carve out more of the market.

Whole Grains: Whole grain pasta, brown rice, bran cereal, oatmeal, pumpernickel or rye bread, couscous, bulgur wheat, millet, barley, etc. Suggested servings: 8 per day. One serving is 1/2 cup cooked grain (e.g., oatmeal or pasta), 1 ounce dry cereal, or 1 slice bread
