Treatment of diabetes by fasting. Prof. Isaac (Klin. Woch. 1923, No. 5)
The author dwells on the methods of treating diabetes by starvation and underfeeding suggested by American authors. He is totally negative about the Allen method, which is known to leave his patients without any nourishment for a week or more. The author points out that if this method often leads to quick desugaring of the organism and destruction of acidosis, then it does not guarantee further more or less stable increase of carbohydrate endurance of the organism.
