Thus far, none of my patients have asked me about fasting. Two week-long sample meal plans are provided. On non-fasting days, his patients typically eat a low-carb diet, which makes sense to me. I’m talking about fasting for 30–36 hours at a stretch, for up to three times a week. But it goes beyond that by advocating frequent prolonged fasts as a potential cure for diabetes. This book builds on the success of very low-carb eating as a therapeutic approach to type 2 diabetes. When I mention diabetes or diabetic hereafter, it’s always type 2 diabetes, not type 1. I waffled between a four or five-star review, but settled on four-star because 1) I haven’t read all of the pertinent scientific literature, and 2) I’m not sure how feasible the Fung protocol is for the average type 2 diabetic (or PWD if you prefer). I recently read his latest book, The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally, published this year. Dr Jason Fung is best known for his advocacy of fasting and low-carb eating.

Many of the stories and topics in Braiding Sweetgrass are of a sacred nature to the Potawatomi and other Native Peoples. To learn more, please see our About the Author page. Robin Wall Kimmerer ( Bodéwadmi) is a member of the Citizen Band Potawatomi Nation. Welcome to the UO Libraries Braiding Sweetgrass student research guide A few pages later, he tells that he never touched opium until he read The Confessions of an English Opium Eater by Thomas de Quincey. One minute he is experiencing opium for the first time with a beautiful whore Ting Ling in Hong Kong. He expresses a number of contradictory factoids. He leaps between being a loathsome miscreant and a mindful gentleman, vacillating his speech between a conversational tone with the reader and narrating his experiences as though the dictation comes from a private journal. Though he speaks bluntly, there are gaps in his stories that cause the reader to doubt the credibility of his account. Truth or fiction, Flynn proves to be a product of his time, reflecting about his environment that encompasses the days leading up to post-Prohibition and moves through World War II and the Golden Age of Hollywood. Though many of the situations he describes seem far-fetched and fabricated, the stories shed light on the social climate and prevailing attitudes of the time. In his autobiography My Wicked, Wicked Ways, Flynn shares a litany of perilous tales that keep him teetering between life and death. It is no exaggeration to say that actor Errol Flynn experienced more drama and adventure in his real life than in playing the infamous English hero Robin Hood in the Warner Brothers 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood. Full of drama and adventure, their trip invites countless opportunities for the rabbi and his cat to grapple with all the important - and trivial - details of life. Zlabya falls in love with a dashing young rabbi from Paris, and soon master and cat, having overcome their shared self-pity and jealousy, are accompanying the newlyweds to France to meet Zlabya’s cosmopolitan in-laws. They consult the rabbi’s rabbi, who maintains that a cat can’t be Jewish - but the cat, as always, knows better. The rabbi vows to educate him in the ways of the Torah, while the cat insists on studying the kabbalah and having a Bar Mitzvah. To his master’s consternation, the cat immediately begins to tell lies (the first being that he didn’t eat the parrot). In Algeria in the 1930s, a cat belonging to a widowed rabbi and his beautiful daughter, Zlabya, eats the family parrot and gains the ability to speak. The preeminent work by one of France’s most celebrated young comic artists, The Rabbi’s Cat tells the wholly unique story of a rabbi, his daughter, and their talking cat - a philosopher brimming with scathing humor and surprising tenderness. In this way, it also feels somewhat claustrophobic in a sense- that feeling that something is always closing in.closer.closer.īut enough of my praise concerning the art and story, the main character- Musobi Susano- deserves plenty of praise as well. Thus, it essentially shows the jumbled mindset of the main character and does so quite effectively, and this really helps in immersing you into the story- not allowing you any breathing room whatsoever. It almost serves to show how the main character is feeling in the story, constantly moving against time to try and find an answer to the mystery concerning the "order" and what has happened to her friend Clawsa. In spite of these color schemes though, the art becomes very interesting when one is reading the manga considering that it has this sort of "otherwordly" quality to it, primarily conveyed by the somewhat blurry effect that is consistently in use. The art is done in a sort of drab boring shade of black, with a melancholic and heavy greyness permeating throughout the work However, I would like to note that the single most important aspect of this manga is the art, since without it, the story could not be conveyed as well as it is here. The story is very dark in that dystopian future with a secret to hide sort of way, and even though this type of narrative seems to be not all that different from the pack, the subtle touches to the story are done extraordinarily well. Schroeder rents rooms in her flat to survive and the Narrator lives there while he supports himself by giving English lessons. We get to meet with Berliners in one of those boarding houses that were so frequent in those times. Between these two bookends, we’ll spend some time with Sally Bowles, The Nowaks, The Landauers and spend the summer 1931 On Ruegen Island with the Narrator. A contemporary reader immediately knows that the Narrator will picture Berlin during crucial years, the ones when the Nazis took power. Goodbye to Berlin opens with A Berlin Diary – Autumn 1930 and ends with A Berlin Diary – Winter 1932-3. I’ll call him the Narrator, to avoid any confusion between the writer and his literary doppelganger. The narrator is named after the author, but he claims in the foreword that there’s nothing to read into it and that “’Christopher Isherwood is a convenient ventriloquist’s dummy, nothing more”. They are in chronological order and feature characters that overlap from one piece to the other. It is composed of six pieces set in pre-WWII Berlin. Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood was published in 1938. Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood (1938) French title: Adieu à Berlin. After living a millennium and never knowing the date I came to be, I have sussed out the information from my certifiably insane, pole-dancing mother.

My daughters, the Seven Deadly Sins, are driving me to drink. While I take chocolate croissants very seriously, I do believe decapitation is somewhat harsh.
