About the Book
During my transition from adolescent to adult, I developed blood sugar swings, eye problems, asthma, and anxiety. Shockingly, when I went to various doctors for treatment of these problems, the usual response was "I can't help you". Fed up with both conventional and alternative medicine, I decided to do my own research on medical subjects that affect me and tens of millions of other Americans. The result is a unique and highly informative book that will help many American patients and physicians to properly deal with chronic illness.
