My First Fifty Years as a Diabetic -

Story goes Here... story ends here:

The goal of this new book is to share the techniques and treatments I have taught my patients and used on myself, including the very latest developments. If you or your loved ones suffer from diabetes, I hope this book will give you the tools to turn your life around, as I did mine.

NOTE: I am unable to mention the name of Dr. X because somebody who says he represents a publisher wrote the following to me:
Dear Sir:
I am writing on behalf of Hachette Book Group USA, Inc., the owner of exclusive rights, including an exclusive copyright license and other intellectual property rights, in the work entitled "(title removed)" by (name removed) (the "Book").
It has come to our attention that you are posting and making available on your web site without permission portions of the Book under your headline "Welcome to Ellis Toussier Bigio's "'My First Fifty Years as a Diabetic'" thereby causing confusion as to your relationship with the Book and Dr. Bernstein and his medical views.

Therefore, we hereby demand that you immediately remove all portions of the Book and all references to Dr. Bernstein and confirm promptly that this has been done.

Although I don't know that the person who wrote to me is really who he says he is, or that Hachette Book Group USA, Inc. actually represents the author, I have temporarily removed the frame of all my pages which said "Welcome to Ellis Toussier's"... I have also removed the name of the author of the book... I have also removed my recommendation to read his book.

After requesting permission from the person who says he is the lawyer of Hachette to leave the page, which is an intrinsic part of my website because I have links from other pages to this page, I got a quick NO.
So... I am going to first verify if this is not a hacker who wants to cause mischief... Even if it is a malicious hacker, I will still leave the changes that I have made...
I have also written to the author to ask for permission to include his story on my website.

"Finally, much of what I will cover in this book is in direct opposition to the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and other national diabetes associations. Why? Because if I had followed those guidelines, they would have killed me long ago. Such conflicts include the low-carbohydrate diet I recommend; the avoidance of oral agents (such as sulfonylureas) that burn out surviving insulin-producing beta cells in type 2 diabetics; my utilization of certain nutrients to lower insulin resistance (new to this edition); my preference for certain insulins over others, which I avoid; my desire to preserve remaining beta cells (an alien concept to traditional practice); and my insistence that diabetics are entitled to the same, normal blood sugars that non-diabetics enjoy, rather than the ADA�s just-sort-of-in-the-maybe-normal range.
Most important, unlike the ADA guidelines, ours work." - Dr. Richard K. Bernstein (from the introduction to the new edition of Diabetes Solution.) .
