Approximately 29 million Americans are diagnosed with Type 2
diabetes annually. Of that number, only about 36 percent (10.44
million diabetes sufferers) achieve satisfactory medical outcomes
and would need additional help-rarely available-to reliably control
their glucose levels. Contrary to popular belief, although
anti-diabetic medications can lower sugar levels, nevertheless they
have a poor performance track record because inflammation in the
blood vessels persists. This book details recent scientific
findings that cardiovascular, kidney, vision, peripheral nervous
system, and other body damage caused by chronic high levels of
blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in Type 2 diabetes is actually due to
excessive generation of unopposed free radicals and reactive oxygen
species (ROS). These, in turn, cause chronic systemic inflammation
and dysfunction of the endothelial lining of the arterial blood
vessels, jeopardizing the formation of the protective molecule
nitric oxide (NO), thus severely impairing the blood supply to
every organ and tissue in the body. This book also catalogues the
evidence that chronic hyperglycemia causes profound and often
irreversible damage-even long before Type 2 diabetes has been
diagnosed. In addition, because conventional prescription
treatments are, unfortunately, often inadequate, the book details
evidence-based complementary means of blood sugar control.

Starving Cancer Cells: Evidence-Based Strategies to Slow Cancer
Progression - A Selection of Readings for Health Services Providers
presents an edited and annotated collection of recent medical
journal publications and abstracts illustrating new approaches to
treatment derived from the metabolic theory of cancer. It intends
to shed an early light on a relatively new approach to our
understanding of the cancer cell idiosyncratic metabolic
dysfunction, and on evidence-based new treatment strategies derived
from that understanding. The book discusses topics such as tumor
starvation by L-arginine deprivation; L-canavanine depriving tumors
of L-arginine in pancreatic, multiple myeloma and breast cancer;
glucose deprivation and intermittent fasting; glutamine uptake in
cancer; the relation of oxygen-starved cancer cells with aspartate;
and reducing tolerance of tumor cells to nutrition starvation. The
content is presented in a contextualized and practical way in order
to facilitate the transition from bench to bedside. This is a
valuable resource for practitioners, oncologists and other members
of healthcare chain who are interested in learning more about the
most recent tumor cell starvation strategies and how they can
improve overall treatment outcome.
