here is something I hope takes you to dr. Thompson's book..by the way, I found him when a book hit my eye in the local library..it was by him..I thought..gee..I would like to see him..turns out he is in Seattle and I did and he said I could be his poster child for metabolic syndrome...which I have stabilized but not reversed...I might be too damaged by now...he is with Swedish Hospital and getting outstanding results with heart patients...

If that link doesn't work go to Amazon.com and search under Rob Thompson.

He also says that too much sugar will candy-coat the cells in our muscles...which might help to explain insulin resistance...we are on the right track...also read Dr. Gerald Raven, former chair of endocrinology at Sanford University...confirms what the "quacks" like Dr. Atkins have been saying for decades. mg
