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.

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month – New Lifesaving Book Helping Thousands

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

Modesto, CA, USA — Almost everyone with Type 2 Diabetes can live a normal, healthy, functional life if they receive and follow some rather simple advice they will not hear from most doctors.

The common advice given by physicians to Type 2 Diabetic patients is to reduce sugar intake, but little progress will be made until a healthy diet is followed that eliminates most carbohydrates, says Physician Assistant and author Daryl Wein.

Wein said he spends 35 to 45 minutes counseling all of his new Type 2 Diabetes patients about the importance of diet and minimizing carbs as well as sugar, while almost all physicians will only spend about five minutes with a new diabetic patient and simply advise to cut down on sugar.

“Type 2 Diabetes is totally manageable, especially if you can catch it early,” stresses Wein. “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.

‘TIL THE END a Novel of Murder, Addiction, and Lies Set in Shelby Township, Michigan

New Michigan author Joseph Patrick33 brings a story that, though fictional, offers considered views on what happens to our youth as they experience the choices and decisions facing them in schools and in sports that alter their future behavior.

Shelby Township, MI, USA — Coming of age and contemporary sports can produce both benefits and conflicts that have lasting consequences in crossing that bridge into adulthood.

New Michigan author Joseph Patrick33 brings a story that, though fictional, offers considered views on what happens to our youth as they experience the choices and decisions facing them in schools and in sports that alter their future behavior. His debut novel is ‘TIL THE END: A Novel of Murder, Addiction, and Lies (ISBN 978-0997521603), Lexie Enterprises, 216 pages available on Amazon $13.99 paperback, $21.99 hardcover, $5.99 Kindle or the author’s website: http://www.tiltheend.net.

View the trailer here: http://bit.ly/TilTheEndTrailer

Looking at the contemporary increased incidence of violence throughout the country and the globe begs investigation as to etiology or cause of the progression of hate, racism, and senseless deaths. A lesson too often forgotten is to turn to history as recorded by the great minds of the past, but equally significant is to find contemporary literature that opens some much-needed windows of insight.

The close bonding that occurs among team players has very positive aspects of learning self-confidence, healthy goal orientation, polished performance as individuals and with teammates; it also can create rules of conduct that include committed bonding to the point of looking out for each other, even if that means altered behavior off the field. This ‘brotherhood’ can allow secrecy about events that should be shared with authorities but is withheld because of the bonding agreement.

Joseph Patrick33 has penned a timely and cogent novel that stands on its own as a tense coming of age story of four high school football stars who risk the benefits of their talent – athletic scholarships, state championships, big money, the dreams of playing in the NFL – by keeping a secret about a tragic event that eventually shreds their individual personal lives and invites alcoholism, drug abuse, involvement in drug cartels, the deaths of two and untimely ending of thwarted lives.

‘TIL THE END may be Joseph Patrick33’s debut novel, but the release of this immensely readable book turns our attention to facts too often neglecting discussion. The author does share that his first novel ‘may be fiction, but within that fiction are the keys to facts that every reader will discover and find universals within the events of the story and the characters that ring true to each of our life journeys.’ And that is one of the many reasons this new author is important to watch.

The setting is Detroit, Michigan, the timeframe 1988-1993, the stage is the football field, and the players are four fast friends and teammates whose lives are inextricably altered by a major error that is tragic. Joseph Patrick33 invites us into this story by saying, ”Young boys dream and old ones ponder. They think about what could be ahead for them and as they get older, it’s not uncommon to wonder about what might have been. That is a constant feeling that all football players have and never entirely shake. They recall the victories and defeats, but mostly they think about those games they should have won. It will always be engrained and the memories will carry over to countless discussions over endless beers ’til the end of their days. In the playing years, in those games, so many great traits are developed: leadership, teamwork, and a razor-sharp competitive edge. However, dark habits can begin to take root. It all shapes young men into the old men they become.”

Amazon Top 100 Reviewer Grady Harp states, “The book allows us entry into the interstices of coming of age, promises of glory, the dark finger of fate, and the impact of misjudged bonds of a lie and strange dissolution of dreams as tainted by those factors we all recognize as deterrents to a happy life. This is not only an important debut novel: this is a very finely written important novel about choices.”

About Joseph Patrick33
Joseph Patrick33 is a Michigan author who grew up in Shelby Township, a suburb of Detroit. He earned his bachelor degree and master’s degree from Wayne State University, and his advanced degree from the University of Detroit. He is concerned about the futures of young people in today’s challenging society of addiction and consequences of actions that lead away from a happy successful and rewarding life.

La Mirada, CA, USA — Scott Lee Needham’s It’s In Their Blood: A Memoir of Siblings Reunited and Their Showbiz Legacy is about the seemingly impossible. Siblings of a Vaudeville family separated at a young age, venture to Hollywood on separate paths, then reunite after 70 years.

From printers, writers and publishers to vaudevillians and Hollywood actors, this true story reminds all of us about the wonders of inheritance, and how its relevancy revealed the seemingly miraculous. This family, once together and thriving, then separated for decades, now united and forever recorded within their memories and the contents of this book.

Author Scott Lee Needham’s professions have ranged from management, to business owner to Electrician. He has written poetry for twenty years, but never took his writing seriously enough to publish…until now.

GiftWorksPlus Releases Interesting Halloween Facts and Figures

GiftWorksPlus has fun facts and custom frames that are perfect as Halloween approaches.

Waukesha, WI, USA — Halloween is synonymous with candy, ghosts, pumpkins and costumes. In honor of Halloween, GiftWorksPlus is releasing some fun facts and figures about the holiday to get customers in the Halloween spirit.

The origins of Halloween are thought to be linked to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, in which people would light bonfires and wear costumes to scare off ghosts. When Pope Gregory III named the first of November All Saints’ Day in the 8th century, some of the Celtic traditions were incorporated into the holiday. The night before All Saints’ Day became known as All Hallows’ Eve and, eventually, Halloween.

Wearing Halloween costumes also has its roots from Celtic and European traditions. Back in earlier centuries, it was believed that ghosts were free to roam on Halloween and people thought that ghosts would recognize them if they left their house. After dark on Halloween, people would dress up in costumes so that ghosts would mistake them for other fellow ghosts and spirits. Today, the tradition of wearing costumes has evolved as a way more to show off creativity and have fun instead of warding off ghosts.

Halloween has evolved into a more commercialized event focused on costumes, pumpkins, and candy. In fact, one quarter of all the candy sold each year in the U.S. is bought for Halloween treats. Between candy, decorations, pumpkins, and costumes, Americans spend almost $7 billion every year on Halloween – making it the second largest commercial holiday in the country. Put another way, the average U.S. consumer is expected to spend about $75 on Halloween-related items each year.

GiftWorksPlus has several engraved frames for Halloween. These wooden frames are great for showcasing a child’s first Halloween, a group of trick-or-treaters, or even a contest-winning pumpkin carving. These Halloween frames are also perfect grandchildren frames to send to grandparents, so they can see grandkids in their Halloween costumes.

All GiftWorksPlus picture frames come with free customization, giving customers the opportunity to create personalized picture frames with dates, designs and more. These special picture frames make great unique, personalized gifts that family and friends can enjoy year after year!

UglyDeck.com Announces Ways to Prepare Decks for Winter

UglyDeck.com gives customers tips on how to get their decks ready for the cold winter months.

Burnsville, MN, USA — Even though you can enjoy your deck well into the fall, now is the time to think about how to take care of your deck this winter. The deck builders at UglyDeck.com are currently helping homeowners prepare their outdoor decks for the cold winter months ahead.

Factors like cold weather, moisture from snow, and ice can all damage a deck. But by putting a little time into your deck before winter hits, customers can be sure to enjoy their decks come springtime and avoid unnecessary deck repairs.

To winterize a deck, the first thing homeowners should do is give it a thorough cleaning. Sweep the deck surface to remove all leaves and loose dirt. Wash away all fungus, dirt, and rust stains from the deck, so it doesn’t sit on the deck all winter and cause further damage.

Next, strip away any finish that has started to wear off. Sand any spots that look especially worn or discolored. Not only does this make sure the sealant will go on evenly, but it also loosens up any extra dirt and debris. Fall is also a good time to do a quick inspection of your deck railings, posts, and slats to make sure there are no loose nails or warping.

Then, apply stain if applicable and then a water-repellant sealant to the deck. This way the deck will be able to withstand any moisture, snow, and ice that comes in contact with the deck during the winter.

Though it may seem like a pain to prepare a deck for the winter, the benefits far outweigh a total deck replacement. If you come across anything that needs repair, or if your deck has been neglected for a few years and you are in need of deck restoration or a deck replacement, contact UglyDeck.com to get a deck quote. UglyDeck.com uses high-quality decking materials that will minimize future maintenance.

If you have further questions on how to properly winterize your deck, contact UglyDeck.com today.
