Now, Gerald Reaven, M.D., the pioneering Stanford University doctor who discovered Syndrome X, explains why:
Tested in carefully controlled research settings and in practice, the Syndrome X program is safe, effective, and easy to follow. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Avoid Diabetes... Avoid Death... Read Syndrome X!This is the first book review I've ever written... Anywhere! However, if my experience can help anyone, I feel I must write a review on this book. I am not a good writer! My writing style is a reflection primarily of the writing I do most, research notes. I never have to write papers, so my style is for me alone. I'll try to be concise and to-the-point and still add enough seasoning to give a flavor as to why it was important to me and why I wish I had been exposed to these studies and ...

His description of the HOW is quite valuable, if a little repetitive. His prescription for action is adequate with some useful material, but not really his forte. See the reviews of the hardcover version, which has a slightly different title. Rating: - The Bible for Insulin DamageThis is a great book that will remain the "Classic" long after all others on this subject have faded.

Although there is a wealth of information on the internet, much of it is inaccurate or partially inaccurate, and that's the case with Syndrome X. All the other Syndrome X books that have been written were knock-offs published after this ... Read More Rating:  - This book is inaccurate and possibly dangerous. Avoid it!OK, so I'm not an expert. I am a person who has learned about good nutrituion through a lot of comparative research and experimentation. IMHO, this book is -- and this is a mild, technical term -- Hogwash. It is bad science, bad nutrition and, perhaps worst of all, bad writing. Don't waste your money. Rating:  - Not As Good As I ThoughtThe book was ok, but with all the information at our fingertips on the web and also knowing some things about the heart and other conditions, I felt like I wasted my money except for the diet part of the book. He didn't really list anything that I didn't already know and he didn't give any symptoms, except for tests. I guess you have to go by that, but I just felt let down by the book. I wanted more from it. I know about the chambers of the heart and techniques used to treat heart problems. I just ... Read More
