Realistic, practical, and easy to read. Chamberlin approaches a difficult subject with solid advice and a subtle sense of humor. Born of his experiences following Hurricane Katrina, the book trains you what to look for and what to do when medical help is not available and not likely to be available anytime soon, if ever. Scavenging tools and supplies beyond the obvious can help you and your loved ones survive. He includes what to put in your medical bag, but addresses your options when you are in a bad situation and your bug-out bag is not available. Detailed and illustrated medical. ~ Review by rgon

A Must Read ~ Review by Diana Taylor

My husband and I, after many years of working on the dream, are finally at a point where we are going to move to acreage and live a more self-sustaining lifestyle that we have dreamt about ever since we were first married — years pass as do the bumps within life and health issues. My husband went through a cancer crisis along with a stem cell transplant and now secondary health issues — living 30 minutes from the nearest health facility is a general concern. This book is a great resource for not only living on acreage and away from nearby medical help, but general good ideas despite living just 10 minutes from the nearest hospital. Dr. Chamberlin offers sound solid advice while providing a touch of humor — clear and concise are my first two requirements within a book and this book delivers along with knowledgeable advice. It is a must read for anyone really — being prepared for the unexpected can mean the difference between panic and calm — life and death.

Do you really need Insulin?

Insulin Therapy

UK USA CDN AU

As a medical student, I've always wanted to deepen my understanding of therapy issues facing Type II diabetics, so I was glad when a diabetic friend of mine recommended me this book. It turned out to be a useful, accessible guide for Type II diabetics regarding whether and when they should receive insulin therapy. ~ Excerpt of review by Sam Schultz

“Inject or Reject” – Book Description

How would you know whether this book is suitable for you?

1. You are a type 2 diabetic, currently not on insulin therapy, but such a therapy was either offered to you by medical staff or you are currently considering it.

2. You are a type 2 diabetic and are already treated with insulin, but still have doubts whether that kind of therapy is the one best suited to you.

What invaluable knowledge can you acquire from reading this particular book?

1. The truth behind fears and objections to insulin therapy: what are they and how to deal with them?

2. Is there really a laboratory test that can indicate whether or not you need insulin therapy?

3. The merits of insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes: what are the common arguments for such a move and what are their counter-arguments?

4. The wrong reasons for insulin therapy initiation: how to avoid a mess.

5. The point at which non-insulin therapy fails: how to determine it.

6. The technical problems with insulin: can they prevent such a therapy and how can you overcome them?

7. And more…

What is special about the author?

This book was written by Dr. Zilber, an endocrinologist with over twenty years of medical experience. He has treated numerous patients on both sides of the spectrum: those who avoided the necessary therapy – and as a consequence let diabetes gnaw at their vital organs – and those who were treated with an inappropriate therapy and suffered significant and even deadly side effects.

This book was written so that you won't repeat such mistakes and won't fall into the traps that other diabetics have fallen into…
