Freedom from Disease: The Breakthrough Approach to Preventing Cancer, Heart Disease, Alzheimer's, and Depression by Controlling Insulin by Peter Morgan Kash, Jay Lombard

From the Publisher

While insulin is most closely associated with diabetes, it is actually the culprit of a number of diseases that are making the American population ill—heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer’s, among others. This groundbreaking book reveals how insulin resistance is linked to these diseases—and how you can get insulin under control to keep yourself healthy.

Freedom from Disease provides a comprehensive program for effectively reducing insulin levels and maintaining excellent health. Peter Morgan Kash and Jay Lombard, D.O., will show you:

How and why insulin is the key to health and illness
How insulin resistance arises even in people who don’t have diabetes
How to assess your insulin levels
The real connection between stress and insulin
A food and supplement program that will keep your insulin levels in check, protect you against a host of diseases, and help you feel your best

Drawing on the latest scientific research on the role that insulin plays in the body, this book presents information on nutrition and exercise that will battle increased insulin levels, reduce insulin resistance, maintain health, and reduce disease.

What People Are Saying

“Kash and Lombard finally put together the real story of the underlying cause of our epidemic of chronic illness from ADD to Alzheimer’s, from depression to heart attacks, from cancer to obesity – it is the insulin flooding through our bodies triggering a deathly cascade. Read this book – it will save your life.
—Mark Hyman, MD, author of the New York Times bestseller, UltraMetabolism

“Kash and Lombard have written an important and enjoyable book that should be of great interest to all.  Particularly in the area of cardiovascular disease which is responsible for the most deaths in the US even exceeding cancer, they lay out the compelling interrelationship between insulin resistance and inflammation of the arterial wall leading to heart attack and ultimately to heart failure.  The most important contribution of this book however is its “call to arms” and how individuals can influence their own health destiny by discipline in what they eat and how they exercise to prevent chronic disease.”
—Dr. John C. Burnett Jr. MD. Marriott Family Professor of Cardiovascular Research, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN

“This is an amazingly clear, compelling, and scientifically rigorous work that replaces existing compendia of arcane knowledge around health and wellness.”
—Joe Alexander, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.C. , Director of Director, Global Clinical Technology, Pfizer Human Health Technologies

“Freedom from Disease clearly and eloquently opens the eyes of its readers to the inherent risks and maladies lurking when the human machine is taken for granted and offers solutions to keep the most efficient machine known, the human body, well tuned.”
—Dr. Robert Gotlin, Director of Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation at Beth Israel hospital; Orthopedist Consultant to the NY Knicks, Yankees, Nets & NY Liberty

"Some of the most common health concerns we face today- diabetes, depression, fatigue, obesity and memory loss may be a consequence of insulin resistance. The authors clearly present the research that supports this assertion and the steps each and everyone of us must take to achieve a healthy life"
—Dr. Robert Goldman MD/PhD, Chairman of American Academy of Anti-Aging and Special Advisor to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports

“The authors clearly document the current epidemic of obesity and the alarming increases in a number of diseases ranging from diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and endocrine and immune pathologies, all due to the excess of sugar in western diets.”
—Dr. Allan Goldstein Ph.D., Chairman of Chemistry and Molecular Biology at George Washington University
