RICHARDSON, Texas, Dec. 21, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Author David Dobson is not a medical doctor, but he has gone through enough illnesses in his lifetime to qualify him as a quasi-medical expert on the subject. A former Army officer, Dobson's worse battle has been the one for his health. Besieged by a multitude of autoimmune diseases, Dobson's strict discipline and positive outlook helped him come out a victor. For this, he shares the strategies that helped him keep his health in a well-researched part-autobiographical, part-medical resource book entitled, Overcoming DIABETES, LUPUS, ARTHRITIS, SARCOIDOSIS, PREDNISONE, OBESITY.
For most of his young life, Dobson remembers, he has had the flu, chronic cough, and a sinus infection before it was discovered that he had sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease where a person's immune system overreacts, resulting in damage to the body's own tissues. The treatment involved taking Prednisone, a powerful anti-inflammatory drug that caused alarming side effects, including weight gain, peptic ulcer, facial swelling, and high blood pressure, to name a few.
Before long, Dobson found out that he was also suffering from diabetes. After attending a seminar on how to reverse diabetes, he was soon on his way to a healthier and more enjoyable life. The journey, though, was not without bumps. Stress and anxiety soon found him back in worse conditions and more illnesses, but it wasn't long before he found his way back to the right path. By adhering to a strict diet and exercise program, Dobson conquered some of the most challenging ailments known to man. His account, discoveries, treatments, regimens, and trustworthy recipes are summed up in Overcoming DIABETES, LUPUS, ARTHRITIS, SARCOIDOSIS, PREDNISONE, OBESITY.
