Synopsis
Excerpt from The Starvation Treatment of Diabetes: With a Series of Graduated Diets as Used at the Massachusetts General Hospital
One of the difficulties which is likely to prevent the wide adoption of his treatment is the detailed knowl edge of food composition and calory value which it requires. Dr. Hill's little book should afford sub stantial aid to all who have not had opportunity of working out in detail the progressive series of diets which should be used after the starvation period. These diets, worked out by Miss Eckman, head of the diet kitchen at the Massachusetts General Hospital, have seemed to me to work admirably with the patients who have taken them, both in hos pital and private practice. The use of thrice boiled vegetables, as recommended by Dr. Allen, seems to be a substantial step in advance, giving as it does a considerable bulk of food without any considerable carbohydrate portion, and with the semblance of some of the forbidden vegetables.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book provides detailed information and instructions on The Starvation Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus as developed by Dr. Frederick M. Allen. The approach involves restricting the intake of food to induce a state of starvation. This extreme measure enables the body to become sugar-free and is more effective than gradually cutting down on carbohydrates. The book describes the details of how to implement this treatment, including the preparation of food and the monitoring of sugar and acetone levels in the urine. The author emphasizes the importance of strictly adhering to the diets and measuring food intake accurately. The text also includes recipes for low-carbohydrate dishes and substitutes to ensure a varied and balanced diet. This book is a valuable resource for individuals seeking to manage their diabetes and improve their overall health and well-being.
