The Rezvan Foundation for Excellence holds Fundraising Gala to honor a Legacy of determination and transformation and the value of Education

When it comes to legacies, the one left by Dr. Ahmad Rezvan resonates as one of the most enduring and heartwarming of all.

Salinas, CA, November 29, 2016 – Growing up in Iran, young Ahmad faced tremendous obstacles — abject poverty and the devastating loss of his father when he was just 14 years old. Despite this, and while providing for his grief-stricken family, Ahmad stunned his small town by secretly putting himself through school, winning admission to the most prestigious university in Iran, and eventually earning a medical degree. Ahmad needed equal parts excellence and determination to transform his life — and the lives of his family.

To honor the legacy of his late father, Dr. Ehsan Rezvan founded the Rezvan Foundation for Excellence, a nonprofit that supports students who share the same incredible combination of strengths that eventually brought the senior Dr. Rezvan to America with his family.

The mission of the Rezvan Foundation is to support the educational pursuits of exceptionally talented young students who have shown a determination to succeed, despite the crippling loss of one or more parent, or removal from their parents’ home.

It is the hope of the foundation that Rezvan scholars will continue to “pay it forward” and keep alive the generous spirit of Dr. Ahmad Rezvan and his family for generations to come.

To celebrate this lasting legacy, and to help fund future scholarships, the Rezvan Foundation for Excellence is holding its first-ever Fundraising Gala on Feb. 4, 2017, at the Sofitel Hotel in Redwood City.

Tickets to the gala are $250, and are tax-deductible (Tax ID No.: 81-0810674). Payment can be made by check (payable to The Rezvan Foundation) or credit card (Visa, MC, Discover or AmEx). Please mail or fax the completed form with check or complete credit card information to: The Rezvan Foundation for Excellence 7888 Wren Ave., #B-120, Gilroy, CA 95020. Phone: (818) 298-8316. Fax: (408) 842-7057. Email: rezvanfoundation@gmail.com. Website: www.rezvanfoundation.com.

No.1 Type 2 Diabetes Book FREE on Kindle November 29 – December 3

New Book Shares Secrets to a Normal Life For Type 2 Diabetics by Following Simple Steps.

Modesto, CA, USA — “Type 2 Diabetes is totally manageable, especially if you can catch it early,” stresses Daryl Wein, author of Type 2 Diabetes: The Owner’s Manual.

The ebook is free on Kindle Nov. 29 thru Dec. 3rd.

“The single most effective thing the patient needs to do is eliminate or at least minimize their carb intake. I have Type 2 Diabetes myself and went nine years living a very healthy life without medicine because I followed a correct diet which did not allow for sugar or carbs.”

A clinical laboratory scientist for more than 20 years and a Physician Assistant for 17 years, Wein started extensive research on Type 2 Diabetes when he himself was diagnosed with the disease.

After directing successful treatment for many hundreds of patients by informing them of the correct diet for them, Wein decided to share those secrets with patients and physicians alike in his new book Type 2 Diabetes: The Owner’s Manual (ISBN 978-1522858270, CreateSpace 2016, 159 pages, available on Amazon $11.99 paperback and Audio Book (regularly $6.99 on Kindle but FREE thru Dec. 3rd).

“To my knowledge my book is the only simple owner’s manual for Type 2 Diabetes,” says Wein. “It teaches readers to utilize first the most effective option available to manage their disease and then to fine-tune sugar control with medication when and if needed. The Owner’s Manual is very simple to read and understand.”

While working for Central California Bariatric Surgery Daryl Wein made it his objective to help patients reach their needed weight goal via diet instead of surgery and experienced multiple successes including one patient who lost 149 pounds over 22 months simply by avoiding carbohydrates completely.

Wein stresses that if all people with sugar abnormalities (who are not dependent on insulin) followed the simple advice in Type 2 Diabetes: The Owner’s Manual the impact on their overall health would be immense and the savings for healthcare in the U.S. alone would be in the many billions of dollars.

James A. Surrell, M.D. and author of SOS (Stop Only Sugar) Diet, says: “We have an epidemic of Type 2 diabetes in the USA today, primarily as a result of our dietary habits. Follow the excellent guidelines contained in Type 2 Diabetes: The Owner’s Manual and you will significantly improve your overall health.”

A physician in a review on Amazon using the pen name “Schmutz” writes: “The Owner’s Manual is well written, easy to understand in laymen’s terms and very useful. If diabetics followed Daryl’s recommendations, my job would be much easier and their lives healthier and longer.”

A few of the eye-opening pieces of advice given by Wein in his highly-respected book include:

• There is no need to consume any sugar or starches at all
• Natural fruit and fruit juices are not good for diabetics
• Avoid all forms of alcohol when trying to lose weight
• The only fats known to be harmful are trans-fats which are mainly found in shortening and margarine
• Eating fat does not make you fat and eating fat has never been directly associated with heart disease
• Brown sugar has never been healthier than white sugar, only less pure
• There are almost no carbs in any of the artificial sweeteners so they do not contribute to the elevation of blood sugar.
• Monitoring your sugar 2-3 times a day with a finger stick test is costly and a complete waste of time.

A former flight instructor, Wein also enjoys water skiing, swimming, building houseboats, and playing the bass which he did while earning his living as a musician, playing in clubs for three years. He owns a small plane but his latest flight interest is flying industrial drones legally. Daryl and wife Jann have an adult daughter, an adult son, and three grandchildren.

November is National Diabetes Month to help put a spotlight on the disease so individuals, health care professionals, organizations, and communities across the country can bring attention to diabetes and its impact on millions of Americans. Visit: http://www.diabetes.org.

About Daryl Wein
A native of Niles, Michigan, Wein earned a degree as a Medical Technologist/Clinical Laboratory Scientist from USC Medical Center in 1978 and earned a degree as a Family Practice Physician Assistant from UC Davis School of Medicine in 1999. Since 1999, while working as a PA with Dr. David Olson and Dr. Elaine Madayag in internal medicine, Wein also worked as a PA at Stanislaus County Urgent Care, Oak Valley Hospital ER, Central California Bariatric Surgery, as a contractor for California Correctional Health Care System, and for rural health clinics run by Oak Valley Clinics. He also has done some software development, and is credentialed in California to teach community college classes.
