Of Gnats and Camels

Feeling lost in a world saturated with online health information of questionable value? Tired of following medical advice that seems to do little to correct your health challenges and those of your family? This book is more than a personal confessional. Of Gnats and Camels provides simple answers for the pandemic of diseases and conditions experienced by our society in the past few decades.  The title of this book comes from a phrase found in Matthew 23:24 from the New Testament, where Jesus states, or perhaps shouts to the crowd of religious law givers around him: "You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel." Though not the direct object of Jesus' indictment, it may be that medical practitioners of today are guilty of something similar to gnat straining.  As Dr. Jim Garlow states in his Foreword: Perhaps the epidemic of diseases in our society is because medicine has "focused on minutia while overlooking the real culprits contributing to individual ill health."  Here is what a neurosurgeon had to say . . . "'Of Gnats and Camels' provides a view of high blood sugar that is not what I learned in medical school. It is an important work in understanding the physiology and causes of stress, obesity and elevated blood sugar and how to treat it. This book is provocative. It stretched my thinking about what and how I eat." [David I. Levy, MD, Clinical Professor of Neurosurgery, UCSD Medical Center, San Diego]   TGBTGBOOKS.COM, LLC www.tgbtgbooks.com
