Put another way, it treats the true causes of your weight gain and illness instead of just papering over symptoms with medications.<\/p>\n<p>The rationale behind this approach is simple: <b>when you restore balance to the seven key areas of your biology, great health happens!<\/b> Illness and disease go away, practically as a side effect.<\/p>\n<p>With <b>The Blood Sugar Solution<\/b>, there\u2019s no misguided effort to \u201cstabilize\u201d your blood sugar or \u201cmanage\u201d the problem with drugs. That\u2019s where conventional medicine takes a wrong turn.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, taking the prescription drug route is usually the worst thing you can do because your problems will just keep snowballing.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll start with a pill for blood sugar \u2026 then soon you\u2019ll need another pill for cholesterol \u2026 then another pill for high blood pressure \u2026 and then even more pills for depression, neuropathy, and other problems triggered by blood sugar disease. Then, you\u2019ll need insulin injections as well when you cross over into full-blown diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a pretty picture. And it\u2019s made worse by the fact that these drugs are ineffective, have side effects, and can even increase your risk for death in some cases.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than letting you fall into this trap, The Blood Sugar Solution helps you treat the underlying root causes of the condition. I want to help you cure your diabesity once and for all, not just \u201ccontrol\u201d it!<\/p>\n<p>Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drhyman.com\/\">www.drhyman.com<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n<p><b>On a personal note from Fiona Tobler, Assistant Business Manager, Yang-Sheng.com:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Kevin Chen and I were fortunate enough to attend a lecture by Dr. Mark Hyman in May 2013 on his latest book \u201cBlood Sugar Solution.\u201d\u00a0 The lecture was eye-opening!<\/p>\n<p>The book \u201cBlood Sugar Solution\u201d includes real life cases of illness that were reversed by diet, life style changes, and supplements.\u00a0 The book includes various \u201cUltra-Wellness Quizzes\u201d that make you stop and think, big time! The book recommends diet changes and nutritional supplements.\u00a0 One of the things I like best about the book is that specific blood tests are recommended to see if you are on the path to poor health.<\/p>\n<p>The chapters are concise, the case studies are brief, the descriptions of supplements and food choices are very clear \u2013 also, awesome recipes are included in the book.<\/p>\n<p>This book got my attention \u2014 while I am not overweight and did rank low on almost all of the \u201cUltraWellness Quizzes,\u201d I got my big \u201cAH-HA\u201d moment when I took the quiz for food addiction. Oh my goodness, now I understand my addiction to sugar and am successfully on the path to drastically reduce my sugar in-take with the goal of eliminating my desire for sugar altogether.\u00a0 At this moment, I have no desire for SUGAR!<\/p>\n<p>I have bought two copies of this book already for gifts. I highly recommend this book for everyone!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yang-sheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dr-Mark-Hyman-bio-photo-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9470\" alt=\"Dr Mark Hyman bio photo copy\" src=\"http:\/\/yang-sheng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dr-Mark-Hyman-bio-photo-copy.jpg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/><\/a><strong>Mark Hyman, M.D.<\/strong><em>\u00a0has dedicated his career to identifying &amp; addressing the root causes of chronic illness through a groundbreaking whole-systems medicine approach known as Functional Medicine.
