No Pills, No Needles

When he was diagnosed with both high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, Dr Kongnyuy was initially shocked and depressed at the life-sentence of ill health, medication and restricted lifestyle he felt he'd been handed. But with the support of his family and friends and his knowledge of medical science, he brought his research training to bear on the problem - if these are lifestyle conditions then can changes in lifestyle reverse them? Conducting a series of over 100 experiments on himself that involved changes in diet and lifestyle over several years, he identified what did and did not work for him. Both his method for finding what suits us individually - the 3Ts: Try, Track, Tell - and his findings as to what returned him to health, will provide invaluable guidance to all those seeking to reverse type 2 diabetes and hypertension. He also looks at all the factors that can hold you back or motivate you to change, and as someone who 'hated exercise' but now jogs or runs for at least an hour everyday he provides great inspiration even for the very unfit. Try, Track and Tell for yourself, with reference to the principles of good health Dr Kongnyuy - an experienced health educator - describes, and discover how to reverse your own chronic health problems.
