Refusing The Needle: A Diabetic's Natural Journey To Kick-Ass Health

by Russell Stamets

Overview

At age 49, Russell Stamets was diagnosed with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA). He was told it was irreversible and that he faced a daily shot in the stomach. Unwilling to accept western medicine’s only option, insulin, Russell looked east. He researched, designed a plan, and tested it on himself. Against all odds, he succeeded in lowering his blood sugar levels and reviving his pancreas. Russell provides the details of his diet, supplements, and lifestyle (including meditation) delivered with a dose of humor, irreverence, and verse. Any type of diabetic, pre-diabetic, or anyone looking for a sane, sustainable way to achieve incredibly good health will appreciate this book.

About the Author

Before the universe assigned him the Diabetes project, Russell spent a fairly geeky 20 years in training and healthcare. His move to full-time writing in November 2011 was facilitated by a layoff after 10 years as Education Director at a community hospital. He also gained firsthand experience with the previous recession in 2002, when he closed his Boulder, CO based computer training business. If he was crazy enough to list on a resume other stretches of his odd path, it would include office manager, bookkeeper, taxi driver, framer, plasterer, ski instructor, and bugler at Santa Fe Downs.
Russell is currently taking his own advice, pivoting away from his high stress corporate and management experience. With their youngest off to college next fall, Russell and wife Kathy are selling the house, and proceeding with their plan to purchase and move aboard an east coast based sailboat.

Editorial Reviews

Breezy and irreverant LADA fighter Stamets aims his slingshot at the Goliath of prevailing medical practice and insulin-provider money. It is a formidable barrage of research and experiment and should make the diabetes world take note. After all, it has not been that long since the prevailing medical practice had physicians routinely draining the blood from already white-lipped patients.
Prevailing med practice can be dangerously wrong.
