Sat, 24 March 2007 DR. NEAL BARNARD’S PROGRAM FOR REVERSING DIABETES: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs
Diabetes is a life-threatening disease reaching epidemic levels around the world. Over 20 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, and in recent years, because of terrible eating habits, a surprising number of our nation’s young children are being diagnosed with it. Many people suffering with diabetes develop complications such as heart disease, blindness, amputations, and nerve system damage. Their risk of premature death is twice that of people without the disease.
Neal Barnard, M.D. is one of America’s leading advocates for good nutrition. With his colleagues at University of Toronto and George Washington University, he recently completed a diabetes study funded by the National Institutes of Health. The study found his diet plan controlled blood sugar three times more effectively than the standard diabetes diet promoted by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The results of the study were published in the August 2006 issue of Diabetes Care, the journal of the ADA.
Dr. Barnard’s approach is a low-fat, vegan diet that focuses on vegetables, legumes, grains and fruits, and omits animal products and added vegetable oils. It also favors foods with a low-glycemic index, such as pasta, that have less effect on blood sugar. It is easier to follow than the standard ADA diet because it does not require counting calories, limiting carbs, or controlling portion size.
Following Dr. Barnard’s diet allows those with diabetes to cut back on their medications, if not eliminate them completely. It can even reverse diabetes by removing the fats in the body that prevent insulin from doing its job. Additionally, the diet results in lower cholesterol and blood pressure, faster weight loss, and increased energy.
Diabetes does not have to be a condition that you live with, destined to worsen over time. With the right diet, the signs and symptoms of diabetes can actually be reversed. Dr. Barnard’s book outlines a simple program that can have life changing effects for diabetes sufferers.
Dr. Barnard will be in Atlanta February 20, 2007 and will be available for interviews. A press kit and a copy of his book are available upon request. You can also visit Dr. Barnard’s website at www.nealbarnard.org. To schedule and interview or for more information, please call 404-252-4587. Comments[0] |

This book guides you from the heart of Charleston, South Carolina to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. James Kautz travels five years along the path of William Bartram, a botanist from Philadelphia who explored the American Southeast in the 1770's. He compares the conditions at the time of the nation's founding with the current social and natural environment of today.

Sat, 10 March 2007 Ever wanted to cuddle a baby panda? My next guest does all the time! Join me on Tuesday, February 27th at 8 p.m. as I interview Dr. Rebecca Snyder, curator of Giant Panda Research Management at the Atlanta Zoo. Dr. Snyder is passionate about giant panda bears! As a Georgia Tech doctoral student, Snyder spent two years studying giant pandas in China. In 1997, she was introduced to Lun Lun and Yang Yang, two giant panda infants, with whom, over the next ten years, she would develop a close relationship. Brought to the Atlanta Zoo on loan, these young cubs grew up together to become mature adults. Snyder and other researchers at the zoo had hoped that the two bears would eventually mate, but after two unsuccessful breeding seasons, the scientists took matters into their own hands. In April of 2006, Lun Lun was successfully artificially inseminated, and Atlanta waited with anticipation through Lun Lun's exciting pregnancy. This past September, Atlanta proudly became the birthplace of Mei Lan, one of the very few giant pandas born into captivity on American soil. Dr. Snyder now researches the close relationship between giant panda mothers and their cubs. Join us for what should be a "warm and cuddly" conversation.

Sat, 10 March 2007 Join me for a strumming good time on Tuesday, March 6th at 8 p.m. as I interview Ralph Luttrell, founder of Luttrell Guitars. Mr. Luttrell, a founding member of the 1970's Atlanta-based bluegrass band, Possum Trot, now follows his passion not by playing resonator guitars, but by handcrafting and restoring them in his Sandy Springs shop. Luttrell has also passed his passion for music down to his daughter, Heather Luttrell, also an Atlanta-based musician. Then on Tuesday, March 13th, listen in as I interview Ms. Jacqueline Woodson, an accomplished author of picture, children's and young adult books, as well being involved in the creation of Miracle's Boys, the T.V. miniseries. Ms. Woodson's passion for writing is limitless. After being published, awarded many times over, and printed in languages like Tagalog, Turkish, and Mandarin Chinese, Woodson answers the question "Do you think you'll ever stop writing?" with "When I stop breathing."
