 Secondly, this product doesn't seem to locate those electrical impulses at any particular point on your feet; it just seems to shock the bejeezus out of the entire bottom of your foot. Even if you continue to use the product, the location of the shocks doesn't change; it just keeps shocking your entire foot for as long as you can stand it.
The manual for this product is interesting. |

 As you'll soon learn in SUGAR shock!, we seek to fill in these many, many educational gaps.
In the last 25 years, many cardiologists have come to believe that high ("bad") LDL cholesterol (greater than 160) causes heart disease. I, however, see cholesterol as only a small part of the disease process. It's a minor player, but it's been built up to be the major player. Thankfully, a number of open-minded, nutrition-oriented physicians and cardiologists have now arrived at my point of view.
Actually, you may be surprised to learn that cholesterol is very important to our bodies. |
| Take the SUGAR shock! Challenge!
That's right. For three weeks, eat only high-quality protein, veggies, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, fats, and whole grains. After those 21 days, provided your doctor gives you permission and you don't have a medical condition such as hypoglycemia or diabetes, allow yourself one single day of indulgence.
Wait! I'm not telling you to pig out. I'm merely saying that you may wish to partake of polite portions of pizza, pasta, candies, pastry, soda, wine, or other "taboo" foods on that designated day. |
| SUGAR shock! is both a cautionary tale and one of hope. Connie shows us that, like her, we can beat the addiction and reclaim our health and well-being. I applaud her choice of Stephen Sinatra, M.D., F.A.C.C., as medical consultant.
Dr. Sinatra and I are colleagues of long standing and like minds. It is heartening to see more and more people—both physicians and scientists of Dr. Sinatra's caliber and laypeople such as Connie, with valuable firsthand experience—use their voices to raise awareness of the debilitating dangers of proinflammatory foods, with sugar leading the pack. |
| While helping members of KickSugar, they, in turn, provided guidance, impetus, and direction for my research for SUGAR shock! because of the kinds of questions, remarks, and articles they posted. Ultimately, my KickSugar group became pivotal in helping me zero in on what specific kinds of information would best help people both understand and conquer their often crippling, mood-destroying, and life-harming sugar or carb addiction. |
| SUGAR shock!" describes the often misdiagnosed and maligned condition of reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), as well as other blood sugar disorders, from insulin resistance to diabetes. Research reveals that repeatedly overconsuming sweeteners, dessert foods, and quickie carbs (white rice, chips, etc. |
| Victims of SUGAR shock! also may experience depression, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, cold sweats, anxiety, irritability, tremors, crying spells, heart palpitations, forgetfulness, nightmares, blurred vision, muscle pains, temper outbursts, suicidal thoughts, and more. Ultimately, this insidious roller-coaster effect hampers sufferers' ability to function at full or even half throttle.
Sugar and foods that convert rapidly to sugar in the bloodstream are toxic. |

 What else is in there that would shock people?
Newman: What about euthanized dogs and cats? We know this from a San Francisco Chronicle investigative report, which followed euthanized dogs and cats from clinics directly to the rendering plants and directly to the pet food industry.
Mike: Okay, so just as a reality check to people listening, you're saying that when dogs and cats are put to sleep, some of those end up in the pet food supply?
Newman: That's right, because they are "protein. |

 Chapter Four
Broken by modern life
Future shock [is] the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.
—Alvin Toffler, Future shock, 1970 orman Vincent Peale was the spokesman sine qua non for the power of positive thinking. But in 1957, in one of his syndicated i columns, he struck an unaccustomed new note. Alongside the need to develop one's capacity for positive thinking, he told his readers, was the need to do something about a growing problem of modern society: the problem of "stress. |

 The doctor said he wasn't sure, but one of Katie's girlfriends had told the EMT personnel that she'd been taking some kind of over-the-counter diet pill. Her mother started sobbing. It seemed like the medical community "How does someone as young was coming up with petty excuses for losing as Katie have a stroke?" they her daughter. "What does that have to do with asked in shock, anything?" she cried.
Quietly, but with authority, their doctor explained the drug most likely had everything to do with Katie having suffered this type of stroke. |

| The article described a study in which pairs of laboratory monkeys were subjected to cycles of electric shock. Each monkey had access to identical-looking levers, but only one of the levers was actually functional: when pressed, it deactivated the electric circuits. The monkey with access to the working lever was called the "executive" monkey and was harnessed to his companion in such a way that, when he pressed his lever in a timely fashion, both animals were able to avoid shock. |

| Phil was gripped in shock and disbelief.
Another twenty-five minutes of gut-wrenching waiting passed after a nurse had ushered Phil to a private family waiting room close to the ER. Just when he thought he could not wait a minute longer, he looked up, and there stood his friend Paul. By the drawn look on Paul's face, Phil knew the report was not good.
Paul spoke with a quiver in his voice, "Phil, Cynthia is dead—we tried everything to save her, but we just could not get a response."
Phil sat in total disbelief. |

| The previous guidelines called for an AED to analyze the heart rhythm before and after delivering a shock, with this sequence being repeated up to three times before beginning CPR, thus losing precious time.
The new guidelines recommend one shock, followed by two minutes of CPR before going back to an AED. "It really requires choreography," O'Connor says.
At a minimum, the American Heart Association guidelines urge more people to learn CPR. "We're stressing the importance of the public taking CPR classes," O'Connor says. |

Quietly, but with authority, their doctor explained the drug most likely had everything to do with Katie having suffered this type of stroke. He'd done some research after getting the results of the autopsy and had found several cases reporting hemorrhagic stroke in young teenage and adolescent girls taking medications that contained an active ingredient called phenylpropanolamine."]!!, fact," he said,"the FDA is presently considering the removal of all these types of drugs from the market. |
| This information came as a shock to Bill. His doctor had specifically given him instructions to continue taking the medication as needed and had even provided several refills! He also noticed that the insert mentioned abdominal discomfort, nausea, and even jaundice as warning signs of a reaction to the medication. After Bill read this he immediately quit taking the Duract and made an appointment to see his doctor.
At his appointment, Bill described the nausea and weight loss. |
| Other more severe forms of allergic reactions involve swelling throughout the body, blister formation in the mouth and skin (Steven Johnson syndrome), shock, and even death.
At the first sign of a possible allergic reaction, you should stop the medication immediately (even if you aren't certain whether it is an allergic reaction or not). |

 They may have upper body pain, and tend to be young looking and resistant to shock—because histamine plays an important role in producing shock reactions in the body. They also tend to have food and chemical sensitivity.
"This condition produces the most typical mental symptoms of schizophrenia, the kind conventional psychiatry would readily identify. Low histamine is often caused by an excess of copper in the body. |

 You're supposed to shock them behind the ear. Problem is, they hit them everywhere. Or hold it on there till it starts smoking and cook the doggone thing. Sometimes they're just cruel to them. They don't get shocked right, they just hang them on the rail, alive and kicking. They stab them and drop them in that water while they still alive. Don't give them no chance for the blood to drain out of them. They rushing so fast," his words came faster and faster, "stick 'em and drop 'em, stick 'em and drop 'em. And they're still alive, still hollering in the water. |
| One guy would set the stunner on the hog's back, then instead of holding the wand down for the three-second stun, he'd let it go and watch it ride up the hog's back and shock the hog. He enjoyed watching the hog jump in the air when it was shocked. He liked to watch them flip up. He did this a lot until one time the hog jumped up and the wand fell off and zapped him. Then he decided he'd better stop doing it. |

 Microscopic plastic particles are injected to close off the uterine vessels, temporarily creating a condition of shock for the uterus. Because fibroids only have one blood supply, the shock is often enough to cause them to begin to degenerate (necrose). The uterus, however, has blood supply through the uterotubal ligaments and vaginal arteries as well and recovers from the initial loss of blood flow most of the time. |

| The monkey with access to the working lever was called the "executive" monkey and was harnessed to his companion in such a way that, when he pressed his lever in a timely fashion, both animals were able to avoid shock. Brady reported how, over a period of several days, the "executive" animal in each round of the experiment was more likely to develop gastric ulcers than his passive counterpart (even though both received exactly the same number of shocks). |

 This came as a shock to the investigators because several earlier studies had shown a reduced risk in those patients who had high levels of vitamin E and beta carotene in their diets or blood streams.
The CARET Study
This study involved eighteen thousand smokers and asbestos workers who lived in Washington State. These patients received 15 mg of beta-carotene and 25,000 IU of straight vitamin A. Researchers monitored these patients over a four-year span, and again no decrease in the risk of cancer occurred in patients who were taking the supplements. |

 Just shy of five foot ten with a shock of red hair and a bright, broad smile, Patty worked for the Elite modeling agency from childhood through her early twenties. She wasn't into sports, but beginning in her teens, she exercised almost mani-cally, sometimes three hours a day, to keep her weight down to 110 pounds. Without the exercise, her mom found her impossible to deal with. The absurdity of sticking to that weight convinced her to quit modeling, and she's since earned a master's degree in social work. |
| Clearly, the rat wanted the stimulation, so much so that it would ignore food placed in one corner in order to receive the shock in another.
In the most famous of their experiments, Olds and Milner rigged up a lever so the rat could administer its own brain stimulation. After discovering that pressing the lever delivered a jolt, it pressed it about once every five seconds until the juice was switched off. Then the rat pawed at the lever a few times with no result and promptly fell asleep. |
| This was a shock: These drugs were really just being introduced, and the results were forcing us to change the way we thought about treatment, yet here was a hospital offering exercise for people with severe depression. And it was working! But the results were lost in the shuffle. At a time when we were just plumbing the depths of the brain, the need was for hard science.
When I settled in Boston for my residency at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center, I landed in another epicenter—the running craze—just as it was taking off. |

About this same time my wife, Liz, and I were flying to the great Northwest when she showed me an article she was reading about a study on a natural nutrient, Coenzyme Q10. Liz handed me the article written by Dr. Peter Langsjoen, a cardiologist and biochemist practicing in Tyler, Texas. Dr. |
| So you can imagine Matt's shock when no diagnosis became apparent. He was sent home with only a painkiller.
Matt had recently been reading about nutritional supplementation and decided to start an aggressive supplement program. But he did not improve very much. He still felt miserable. He felt achy all over, and he remained extremely fatigued. He finally saw a specialist who ordered a blood test called
ANA (antinuclear antibody). Mart's ANA came back positive at a level of 1:640 (normal is 1:40 or less). |

 Emmanuel Bronner, a self-proclaimed "doctor" from a line of master soap makers, started peddling soap from his tenement apartment in LA after escaping from a Chicago mental hospital where he received the shock treatments that he blamed for his 30 years of blindness. ("Hollywood could not make this up, it's real," Ralph explained.) In the 1960s, Dr. Bronner became an icon of the counterculture after hippies discovered they could use his 18-in-l Pure-Castile Soap to wash clothes, degrease bikes and even brush teeth.
