Type 2 Diabetes
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-138-58058-9 (ISBN)
This book details recent scientific findings that cardiovascular, kidney, vision, peripheral nervous system, and other body damage caused by chronic high levels of blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in Type 2 diabetes is actually due to excessive generation of unopposed free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These, in turn, cause chronic systemic inflammation and dysfunction of the endothelial lining of the arterial blood vessels, jeopardizing the formation of the protective molecule nitric oxide (NO), thus severely impairing the blood supply to every organ and tissue in the body. This book also catalogues the evidence that chronic hyperglycemia causes profound and often irreversible damage—even long before Type 2 diabetes has been diagnosed. In addition, because conventional prescription treatments are, unfortunately, often inadequate, the book details evidence-based complementary means of blood sugar control.

He holds a number of US patents in biomedical instrumentation including one of the earliest ECG-heart rhythm analyzer/computers. Dr. Fried has authored more than 45 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals as well as scientific textbooks, including Erectile Dysfunction As a Cardiovascular Impairment (Elsevier/Academic Press, 2014) and The Psychology and Physiology of Breathing in Behavioral Medicine, Clinical Psychology & Psychiatry (Springer, 1993). Dr. Fried has also authored several consumer health self-help books including The Arginine Solution (Fried and Merrell, Time/Warner Books, 1999) and Great Food/Great Sex: The Three Food Factors for Sexual Fitness (Fried and Edlen- Nezin, Balantine Books, 2006).
