Diabetes is Curable!
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Diabetes is an illness characterized by high blood sugar levels. Mainstream medicine claims that diabetes is non curable and the only way to deal with this illness is to manage it with diet and drugs. However, certain natural practitioners are proving that diabetes is in fact curable with a total dietary makeover.
Diet
The most powerful way to reverse diabetes is to go on a raw food diet, as proven at the Tree of Life in Arizona. The diet consists of raw vegetables, nuts and seeds for 30 days. This means no bread, meat, eggs or milk. Nothing that is sweet, including fruit, is taken. Lots of green juices, consisting of cucumbers, celery, fennel and spinach can be consumed. Meals consist primarily of salads, and snacks of nuts and seeds are eaten.
Considerations
This is an extremely difficult diet to stick to, so it is not for the faint hearted. It takes a lot of willpower and determination to go on such a diet. However, the results are amazing, especially for those people with type 2 diabetes, although many people with type 1 also see benefits. It might be easiest to have the meals prepared for you and be around other people going through the same process, which is why many people go on a Tree Of Life retreat of diabetics.
After Treatment
After the 30 days, a less strict diet, which includes some fruit and the occasional pleasure to normal food can be enjoyed. However, it is important to primarily stick to a raw food diet packed with green vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Exercise
Exercise is absolutely vital for those people who have type 2 diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes need to be a little more careful and have professional supervision. The best exercise is jumping on a rebounder for around 15 minutes four to five times per week. Cardiovascular exercises such as running and fast walking, as well as muscle building, are all beneficial.
Personally, a 100% raw food diet does not work for me. I need grounding foods that keep my feet on the earth. I am already so sensitive and airy that when I eat a total raw food diet I feel like I am flying off into the cosmos. On the other hand, a lot of my diet consists of raw foods, and of course I am a super food fanatic!
For people who have type 2 diabetes, the raw food is a life saver. It has the potential to completely cure this disease. And for those people with type 1 diabetes, it can have very good results. I totally recommend this diet to ANYONE who is suffering with diabetes. You really have nothing to lose!
