Forewords & Introductions

By Harvey M. Ross, M. D. Dr. Ross is a Diplomat of the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology practicing in Los Angeles, California. A founding member and past president of the Academy of Orthomolecular Psychiatry; on the Board of Trustees, The Huxley Institute for Bio-social Research. He is author of Fighting Depression and co-author of Hypoglycemia: The Disease Your Doctor Won't Treat, The Executive Success Diet and The Mood Control Diet.

The time it takes to diagnose a broken leg may be measured in minutes or hours. The time it takes to diagnose hypoglycemia from first symptoms to final diagnosis is usually measured in months and years. Considering the severity of emotional and physical symptoms experienced by those with hypoglycemia, and the time it takes to make the proper diagnosis, the enormity of the problem in terms of waste may be appreciated. Wasted years, unfulfilled goals, impossible interpersonal relationships, lack of professional attainments are but part of the price paid by those with undiagnosed hypoglycemia. The remainder of payment in terms of misery is made by those who are close to the person with hypoglycemia; the family; the friends. They too suffer.

Hypoglycemia is a cause of misery which can be eliminated. An informed public, and informed medical community is all that is needed to treat this condition successfully. The first step taken by most people is to seek medical help. When medical help is not found or when the wrong attitude or wrong answers are given, the search soon ends and individuals begin to rely on themselves.

The Krimmels have provided an excellent guide to those who find they must treat themselves, as well as to those who wish to find and work with a physician. A close adherence to the program which they outline will result in improvement in most cases of nonorganically caused hypoglycemia.

All the ills of man are not related to hypoglycemia. But there is an unfortunate group of individuals who suffer from fatigue, depressions, irritability, confusion and some physical symptoms who are told year after year by their physicians, "All your tests are normal; there isn't anything wrong with you." Between the covers of this book this group may find the important answers which are necessary for a healthy and productive life.
