This website looks at the various aspects of hypoglycemia (click on the word hypoglycemia for information on what it actually is) in the sense that hypoglycemia is seen as the starting point for a discussion on nutritional disorders underlying most degenerative diseases - including Diabetes, The Metabolic Syndrome and mental illnesses. Clinical nutrition is an evidence-based medical science, supported by untold numbers of clinical studies and trials. This is basically a self-help web page for people who have or who think they may have hypoglycemia as a primary metabolic condition associated with any other illness that are known to respond to nutritional medicine. Readers are encouraged to consultcomplementary doctors and other professional health care workers familiar with clinical nutrition and herbalism.
Thus although hypoglycemia and the hypoglycemic diet are at the core of nutritional treatment, it is only the first step in the treatment of over 90 other illnesses, including many “psychological” problems that may have resulted from the underlying disorder. We will include links to some other sites on Hypoglycemia on the Internet (See Links)
It is recognised that psychological problems such as anxiety, stresses of life, depression, unhappy personal relationships, uncontrollable anger and frustration may weaken the immune system and thus cause the many physical ailments. Thus this web site has a folder offering several articles on practical self-help PSYCHOTHERAPY which will help people to overcome these problem, once they have repaired the original metabolic disorder. This is particularly useful with such diseases as Anxiety, Aggressive Behaviour, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alcoholism and Drug Addiction, Chronic Depression, which are usually influenced by both nutritional and psychological (attitudinal) factors.
The psychotherapy folder starts with treatment of a negative self-image, which is seen as the hub of personality disorders. For those who want to help themselves, or who are consulting a counsellor it would be helpful to read “What is Transactional Analysis”, then followed by “How to Improve One’s Self-Image”. Articles will be updated as we go along.
Several folders on the left will give access to many articles relating to clinical nutrition and psychotherapy. The most important of these are “What is Hypoglycemia?” and “The Hypoglycemic Diet”. There is a folder providing hypoglycemic or diabetic recipes supervised by Sue Litchfield, author of Sue’s Cookbook.
The Links folder will link you to other web sites that are of interest.
The folder on Committee Members will give their backgrounds and qualifications.
Most other articles are reprints of the Hypoglycemic Health Association of Australia NEWSLETTER .
