Synopsis
One in three North-Americans born in 2000 and one in two minority individuals will develop diabetes. Yet, diabetes is largely avoidable. Teas for Diabetes, one of the DIABETES-Series Little Books, provides an overview of the most beneficial herbs and teas for controlling, avoiding and reversing diabetes and its complications-naturally and without or in addition to medication.
About the Author
More people than ever go through life without recognizing that they are at risk of developing diabetes. Her out-of-the-box questioning mind gives Dr. Roth a fresh perspective on prevention. Her approach fosters true cooperation between patient and doctor and puts an increased onus on the patient. Patients who recognize the connection between different signs and symptoms are more aware of their own body and their own responsibility in their healing process—a necessary first step towards proactively avoiding diabetes. Rivkah Roth DO DNM, is a natural medicine professional, author and lecturer with doctorates in osteopathy, natural medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. Over the years, she has taught and practiced natural medicine in Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. Dr. Roth has won accolades for her dedication and contribution to the field of natural medicine including the title of “Doctor of the Year” awarded to her by a professional association in 2005. Practicing transdisciplinary medicine offers the most viable and promising approach towards stemming the epidemics of chronic and metabolic diseases. Diabetes and other gastrointestinal conditions (such as irritable bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease), along with many painful and debilitating conditions (among them fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, or chronic fatigue), all show a link to our food intake. Recognizing our body for the marvelous biochemical plant that it is, Dr. Roth has spent years studying the biochemical and physiological processes that lead from food to health and from food to disease. Apart from several further book projects that she has in the works she makes it her major objective to spread public awareness of how to avoid diabetes and many of its complications. For her Early Diabetes Risk Recognition and Avoidance campaign her teaching includes web-based education and support programs for the general public along with professional training seminars for Early Diabetes Risk Recognition Counselors, Natural Diabetes Avoidance Coaches, and Natural Medicine Diabetes Avoidance and Reversal Counselors. Dr. Roth lives and practices on a quiet country property north of Toronto, Canada, where she enjoys long walks with her dogs while working on her many health-related projects.
