Pin It

What would you do if you were told you had a potentially fatal disease? How would you feel learning that this disease was like a giant, foreign body in itself, attached to you and capable of producing its own hormones and toxins while stealing critical nutrients from you to feed its self ultimately growing to the point of – directly or indirectly – killing you?

The Pancreatic Oath, Self Health Book Review

Pin It

A few weeks ago, Randy and I were asked if we had ever heard of The Pancreatic Oath. Learning we had not, we were offered a complementary book and asked if we would read and review it. Of course we accepted. Randy and I are always curious of new information pertaining to health and fitness. The Pancreatic Oath arrived kindly in the mail just days later…

The Pancreatic Oath, written by Candice P. Rosen, BS, RN, MSW, CHC, is exactly what Rosen describes it to be – “a Self-Health Book.” It is “NOT,” as Rosen further states, a diet book, nutrition book, diabetes book, or even a self- help book.
