Ok, I'm a big old skeptic. That said, in an attempt to avoid taking a statin drug, I read the book and am doing the "plan", which is amazingly easy to follow. I'm a diabetic, and I was particularly skeptical about the claims made in that chapter. Previous attempts to go vegetarian have always resulted in higher blood sugars, but those attempts always included dairy, because I believed the propaganda.

I'm 3 weeks in and my blood sugars are *perfect* for the first time in my adult life, and I've had to cut my insulin in half. Stunning, is all I can say. I'm really looking forward to my bloodwork at the end of Feb.
