The Starvation Treatment of Diabetes

A clinical manual outlines a strict therapeutic regimen for diabetes based on an initial fast followed by carefully graduated low-carbohydrate diets. It gives step-by-step hospital procedures for a brief starvation period until urinary sugar ceases, optional supportive fluids and alcohol, monitoring of weight and urine, and management of acidosis including bicarbonate dosing and ammonia measurement. The book supplies calculated diet tables, calorie and macronutrient conversions, recipes and cooking techniques—notably multiple boiling of vegetables to lower carbohydrate content—and practical guidance for reintroducing food while tracking carbohydrate and protein grams to maintain sugar-free status.
