5 out of 5 stars This book is not ONLY for people with diabetes.......2007-03-26


While this book is aimed mainly at diabetes, there is a lot of important information included for people with heart, blood pressure and circulatory problems as well. Most of the information included here is theories, but they are theories that make much more sense than the ones currently being used by the medical profession, and are backed up by medical research. This is information that is not available in too many places, and I think it is very important that people know and understand these things BEFORE they make decisions as to the health care treatment they will receive.

The diet Doug sets forth is in line with most other alternative diets, and is very reasonable, given all the information he sets forth in his book. Doug believes in finding the cause of diseases, and treating them, first off by diet. Many times diet can actually cure problems that the medical profession does nothing but treat the symptoms of, let alone cure!

I would strongly urge people to study and consider Doug's theories in treatment of their illnesses. I also strongly recommend his other books. Doug cares very much about healing people; his sincerity is obvious, if you have ever seen his TV show. I would give this book a heartfelt recommendation to anyone who is suffering from diabetes, pre diabetes, or heart/blood pressure/circulatory conditions, as well as people who want to help someone they know who is suffering from these conditions. My daughter (age 29) was diagnosed with diabetes last week. I just read the book and am giving her mine, and ordering another one for me.

4 out of 5 stars A good read for those with diabetes.......2005-08-08

A great followup to Doug's other books which continues his discussion about the problems fungi can cause in our lives. Interesting information for all patients with diabetes to consider. Doug does a good job researching his information and has helped many people fight their illnesses. While not a substitute for other treatments, I believe it's important to consider as many options as possible.

5 out of 5 stars Are hidden toxins in our food making us sick?.......2004-12-06

Important book to read if you are concerned
about diabetes, or know someone who has it.
The information on treating this condition
including a list of natural supplements, plus
the diet to help control diabetes makes
this book a bargain at any price.

The information about what we are eating
and how this may determine whether or not
we may develop diabetes is something
everyone needs to read. A toxin often found
in our food supply may be making us sick!
Scientists, needing to find mice with diabetes
in order to study it, have to induce it in
the mice by injecting them with this same toxin
that is in our food supply.
Does a constant exposure of this same toxin in
our food on a daily basis do the same thing to us???

        Description:
        In previous studies, we have shown that fungal communities in soil are quantitatively and qualitatively modified when termite sheetings are constructed, but the reasons for these changes are unknown. In this work we described the succession of fungal communities in the sheetings of three fungus-growing termite species by combining cultivation techniques and culture-independent methods specially DNA extraction, PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). We also estimated the abundance of fungi by using plate-count technique. The fungal communities of these sheetings were sampled at different ages. The potential functions of fungal communities was assessed by their capabilities of degrading different substrates including proteins, polysaccharides and tannins. Significant differences were found between the fungal communities of termite sheetings and those of surrounding soil. These differences were observed at quantitative, qualitative and functional level as well and were marked particularly in the fresh sheetings of termites. The characteristics of fungal communities of the surrounding soil were quite similar with those observed in the old sheetings of termites. These results show that the fungal communities are modified at once in freshly built sheetings, rather than by a progressive succession, as had been expected.

          Description:
          The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of subterranean fungus-growing termites on the structure of soil microorganism communities. We tested whether termites significantly modify the abundance and structure of microbial communities within their below-ground nests (fungus-comb chambers) and whether these effects are species-specific. The investigations were carried out in a humid savanna reserve with material collected from the fungus-comb chamber walls of two widespread species differing in the mode of nest construction. Ancistrotermes builds diffuse and ephemeral nests while chambers of Odontotermes are mostly concentrated and occupy the same area for a comparatively much longer period of time then creating lenticular mounds. The soil properties (pH, texture and C, N content) and the microbial biomass were analysed and automated rRNA intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA) was used to characterise bacterial (B-ARISA) and fungal (F-ARISA) communities. Our results illustrate that the nest structures created by termites offer a diverse range of physical and chemical environments that differ strongly from those present in the general soil mass. Odontotermes had strong effects on microbial properties at the scale of the fungus-comb chamber and at the scale of the lenticular mound. In the fungus-comb chambers, the microbial biomass is not affected by termites but the structure of microbial community is different from that in the control open savanna soil. In the lenticular mound, the microbial biomass is higher and the structure of bacterial community is distinct than that in the fungus-comb chambers. Ancistrotermes also strongly influenced the structure of soil bacterial and fungal communities in the open savanna. However, we did not find any significant modification of bacterial and fungal community structures in the lenticular mound. The impact of fungus-growing termites is, therefore, species-specific and varies depending on the study site (open savanna vs. lenticular mound).

            Description:
            The growth of clover (Trifolium repens ) and its uptake of N, P and Ni were studied following inoculation of soil with Rhizobium trifolii, and combinations of two Ni-adapted indigenous bacterial isolates (one of them was Brevibacillus brevis) and an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae). Plant growth was measured in a pot experiment containing soil spiked with 30 (Ni I), 90 (Ni II) or 270 (Ni III)mgkg^-^1 Ni-sulphate (corresponding to 11.7, 27.6 and 65.8mgkg^-^1 available Ni on a dry soil basis). Single inoculation with the most Ni-tolerant bacterial isolate (Brevibacillus brevis) was particularly effective in increasing shoot and root biomass at the three levels of Ni contamination in comparison with the other indigenous bacterial inoculated or control plants. Single colonisation of G. mosseae enhanced by 3 fold (Ni I), by 2.4 fold (Ni II) and by 2.2 fold (Ni III) T. repens dry weight and P-content of the shoots increased by 9.8 fold (Ni I), by 9.9 fold (Ni II) and by 5.1 fold (Ni III) concomitantly with a reduction in Ni concentration in the shoot compared with non-treated plants. Coinoculation of G. mosseae and the Ni-tolerant bacterial strain (B. brevis) achieved the highest plant dry biomass (shoot and root) and N and P content and the lowest Ni shoot concentration. Dual inoculation with the most Ni-tolerant autochthonous microorganisms (B. brevis and G. mosseae) increased shoot and root plant biomass and subtantially reduced the specific absorption rate (defined as the amount of metal absorbed per unit of root biomass) for nickel in comparison with plants grown in soil inoculated only with G. mosseae. B. brevis increased nodule number that was highly depressed in Ni I added soil or supressed in Ni II and Ni III supplemented soil. These results suggest that selected bacterial inoculation improved the mycorrhizal benefit in nutrients uptake and in decreasing Ni toxicity. Inoculation of adapted beneficial microorganisms (as autochthonous B. brevis and G. mosseae) may be used as a tool to enhance plant performance in soil contaminated with Ni.

                Book Description

                In this first book-length treatment of Descartes' important and influential natural philosophy, Daniel Garber is principally concerned with Descartes' accounts of matter and motion—the joint between Descartes' philosophical and scientific interests. These accounts constitute the point at which the metaphysical doctrines on God, the soul, and body, developed in writings like the Meditations, give rise to physical conclusions regarding atoms, vacua, and the laws that matter in motion must obey.

                Garber achieves a philosophically rigorous reading of Descartes that is sensitive to the historical and intellectual context in which he wrote. What emerges is a novel view of this familiar figure, at once unexpected and truer to the historical Descartes.

                The book begins with a discussion of Descartes' intellectual development and the larger project that frames his natural philosophy, the complete reform of all the sciences. After this introduction Garber thoroughly examines various aspects of Descartes' physics: the notion of body and its identification with extension; Descartes' rejection of the substantial forms of the scholastics; his relation to the atomistic tradition of atoms and the void; the concept of motion and the laws of motion, including Descartes' conservation principle, his laws of the persistence of motion, and his collision law; and the grounding of his laws in God.

                          Book Description

                          Apuleius' wonderful Latin novel Metamorphoses, written in the second century C.E., was for a long time neglected. In recent years some have attempted to understand the Metamorphoses by applying contemporary critical theory to the work, without notable success. In Crisis and Conversion in Apuleius' "Metamorphoses" Nancy Shumate takes a new and profitable approach: she uses an epistemologically oriented model of religious conversion to study the experiences of the novel's central character, Lucius, who is turned into an ass and back again.
                          Shumate draws on a wide range of literary and nonliterary representations of conversion in order to establish a useful theoretical framework. The Metamorphoses is exposed as a text anticipating later narratives in its concern with world-building, with the narrator's subjective reality, and with the invocation and critique of religious experience.
                          Crisis and Conversion in Apuleius' "Metamorphoses" will be of interest to classicists and scholars of Silver Latin and of the increasingly popular ancient novel, as well as to students of psychology and the sociology of religious experience.
                          Nancy Shumate is Associate Professor of Classical Languages and Literatures, Smith College.

                                Regine May discusses the use of drama as an intertext in the work of the 2nd century Latin author Apuleius, who wrote the only complete extant Latin novel, the Metamorphoses, in which a young man is turned into a donkey by magic. Apuleius uses drama, especially comedy, as a basic underlying
                                texture, and invites his readers to use their knowledge of contemporary drama in interpreting the fate of his protagonist and the often comic or tragic situations in which he finds himself. May employs a close study of the Latin text and detailed comparison with the corpus of dramatic texts from
                                antiquity, as well as discussion of stock features of ancient drama, especially of comedy, in order to explain some features of the novel which have so far baffled Apuleian scholarship, including the enigmatic ending. All Latin and Greek has been translated into English.

                                In the Metamorphoses of Apuleius

                                The hero, Lucius, eager to experience the sensations of a bird, resorts to witchcraft but by an unfortunate pharmaceutical error finds himself transformed into an ass. He knows he can revert to his own body by eating rose-petals, but these prove singularly elusive; and the bulk of the work describes his adventures as an animal. He also retails many stories that he overheard, the most charming being that of Cupid and Psyche (beginning, in true fairy-tale fashion, 'Erant in quadam civitate rex et regina'). Some of the stories are as indecent as they are witty, and two in the ninth book were deemed by Boccaccio worthy of inclusion in the Decameron. At last the goddess Isis takes pity on Lucius. In a surprising denouement, he is restored to human shape and, now spiritually regenerated, is initiated into her mysteries. The author's baroque Latin style nicely matches his fantastic narrative and is guaranteed to hold a reader's attention from beginning to end.

                                The Loeb Classical Library edition of Apuleius is in two volumes.

                                This is a wonderful book. However, the presentation does not alert reader to the fact that this Loeb library edition is a two volume edition and book advertised is only the first volume - need for second voume to have a complete edition is not clear in book description by these sellers.

                                5 out of 5 stars a prose classic.......2000-10-09

                                This early prose work by a North African writer, _The Golden Ass_, is a classic. The protagonist is mistakenly turned into a donkey. Actually, the mind of a man is in the body of a donkey. While he has the body of a donkey, he has retained the mind of a human being. He overhears conversations and witnesses deeds that a human stranger would not be allowed to witness. It's a brutal, funny, and memorable tale, showing human nature very honestly, warts and all.

                                _The Golden Ass_ was written in Latin, and it may be the only surviving Latin novel of the period. The structure is episodic, as the protagonist gets into one predicament after another (as a donkey), much like Gulliver in Gulliver's Travels, or Odysseus in The Odyssey. I think it clearly influenced early successful novels such as Gulliver's Travels and Don Quixote.

                                The novel is bawdier than other works which survive from its day. The bawdy, ribald humor sets _The Golden Ass_ apart from other tales, and its place in the History of Literature makes it a classic.
