		<description>Dear Dr. Mike,

Is this offer still good?  I just lost my third (or was it fourth) copy of PPLP to yet another friend.  I must say that I&#039;m glad that you&#039;re so popular, but I do wish that my friends would spring for their own copies.  Perhaps this is my way of making the world a better place, one great reference book at a time.

Thanks so much.  Can&#039;t wait for your new book.

&lt;em&gt;Had to cancel it temporarily because our shopping cart needs upgrading.  We&#039;re in the middle of a site and blog redesign that involves going with a new shopping cart.  As soon as we get it finished, we&#039;ll redo the offer.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Dear Dr Eades,

When you bring this offer up again I&#039;m wondering how people outside of the US can order as I live in the UK and can&#039;t get passed the first page of billing details as it has a drop down list only of US states and no foreign countries. I already have PPLP but realise now that I&#039;d much rather have a hard back edition and give my soft back edition to a friend. So I will take up this offer please when you have it again...but if I can&#039;t even enter my address in the UK it will be difficult.

all the best,
Anne

&lt;em&gt;When we get up the new website/blog we&#039;re in the process of having designed (probably within the next month), we&#039;re going to go with a new shopping cart that will work with non-US addresses.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Dr. Eades,
You have had a tremendous impact on my life for many years.  The first book of yours I bought was Thin So Fast and I believe I have every book you and/or MD have written since, including the If It Runs In Your Family series.  I was very fortunate to discover the low carb diet 30 years ago during a battle with hypoglycemia, sugar binges and anorexia nervosa.  The diet, I believe, literally saved my life.  Since that time I&#039;ve stuck to the diet, sometimes less closely, such as during two pregnancies, but very diligently for the past 10 years.  As a result, I&#039;m in my mid 50&#039;s, very lean and muscular, and I can&#039;t imagine a more wonderful way to eat.  Your books and blog have been very helpful to me and there are no words to express how much I appreciate all you do.

As I mentioned, I have all of your books but I would love to have an autographed copy of The Protein Power Lifeplan.  If you can make that happen, I will gladly pay for extra shipping and for the book.  Again, many thanks for everything.  I wish you and your family a very blessed 2009!

Jeannie

&lt;em&gt;I&#039;ll see what I can do.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi Dr Eades I&#039;d love a copy of protein lifestyle and have tried to pay postage using my visa but not having success.
I&#039;m in New Zealand and not sure what to do???

I have recently bought your book Protein Power and after 7 days on the diet I lost 2 kgs which was fantastic! .. i still have another 12 to go but that was a great week and very encouraging.
i have noticed my zero energy levels have increased and my fibromyalgia pain is improving, and my foggy brain has cleared and i&#039;m feeling really really good! I added potassium after 4 days and found that a lot of the tiredness and fatigue went.
i love this way of eating..and i&#039;m so thankful to have stumbled across this diet as my sugar levels were way out of whack.
So here&#039;s to you!

Regards
Wendy

&lt;em&gt;Thanks, Wendy.  Don&#039;t give up on the book deal.  As soon as we have the new blog design up with the new shopping cart, I&#039;ll put up the offer again, and, I dearly hope, it will work this time.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Glad you made it out of the snow. It&#039;s an example of why I basically don&#039;t fly i the winter any more.

Thank you for using the word Christmas. And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.

&lt;em&gt;And a Happy New Year back to you.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Dr. Eades, I made a stupid mistake on my order and didn&#039;t change the card type to Mastercard instead of Visa.  I left it alone instead of potentially making it worse.  Please let me know if/what I can do to straighten this out.  Otherwise, it looked like it took my order.

&lt;em&gt;I&#039;ll have my assistant check it out, but it&#039;s probably okay if it went through.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Hello, Dr. Eades. have just bought your book LifePlan, but have been on a lower carb diet for a while now. What I mostly eat is fish and red meat because they are the most nutrition dense. I have a problem I am worried about though and that is iron. I have not had my ferritin levels checked but wouldn&#039;t a low carb diet harm and not help in iron overload or am  I missing something? Also do you recommend to readers to regularly donate blood for as long as we are eating lo carb and if so how often would be best in order to keep iron in check? Another question is if you exercise intensely &quot;circuit training short burst&quot; if your body can afford more iron or not? Also after I eat red meat i always feel groggy and tired could this be do to iron. 
Thank you for your time and patience with my many questions. be well

&lt;em&gt;The type of iron in red meat - heme iron - is easily absorbed but is also easily avoids absorption if iron stores are too high.  So I wouldn&#039;t worry about getting too much iron by eating red meat.  I always recommend that people give blood.  It helps the people who need the blood plus it helps keep iron from accumulating.  I don&#039;t think the intense training has much effect one way or another.  And I don&#039;t think your grogginess has anything to do with iron levels.  I don&#039;t know why you feel groggy - most people feel just the opposite.  I suppose whatever else you eat with the red meat could have a lot to do with it.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Sorry to hear about your system crashing! I&#039;ve notified my readers of the issues and will update when things are worked out. Thanks for all you are doing! This book giveaway will really help people get the truth about low-carb living for minimal cost.

&lt;em&gt;Thanks for your understanding.  We got more orders in the first two hours after I put the post up than we&#039;ve gotten total in the last 6 months.  We got more orders in the first 12 hours than we did in the entire two weeks I ran this same give away last Christmas.  Our system couldn&#039;t handle it.  We&#039;re in the process of getting a new website design, and when we do, we&#039;ll get a new shopping cart (I&#039;m evaluating several right now) to go along with it.  We should be back in business for an onslaught of orders with in a few weeks.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi there,
A news story that may interest you or your readers:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7801219.stm   
Delia Smith Smith, for those who haven&#039;t heard of her, is probably the most traditional and conservative tv chef in Britain. Which made her comments all the more surprising!
 
Jo, Edinburgh

&lt;em&gt;Interesting, indeed.  Thanks for the link.&lt;/em&gt;</description>
