Reversing Diabetes Through a Plant Based Diet
Reversing Diabetes Through a Plant Based Diet
Let’s have a conversation about diabetes.
I want to start by talking about Type 2 Diabetes, and then we’ll come back to Type 1 Diabetes, because I know some people have really strong beliefs about whether or not Type 1 Diabetes can be healed.
Type 2 Diabetes is now the fastest growing chronic disease around the world!
Why is this? What’s actually happening?
Why Type 2 Diabetes is the Fastest Growing Chronic Disease
It’s the fastest growing chronic disease due to our diet, health and lifestyle. People are adding more and more processed foods, excess fats, and fast food to their diets – people’s lifestyle choices, in general, are not aligned with good health.
I also think there’s an overwhelming amount of conflicting information out there – eat just meat, eat high fat, you’ve got to have high protein, eat a vegan diet….
There are all these different ideas and opinions.
Dr. Gabriel Cousens and Diabetes
I like to bring things back to Dr. Gabriel Cousens. He’s a medical doctor who has had amazing success healing people with Type 2 (and Type 1 Diabetes) in just 30 days. He made a documentary called “Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes In 30 days”.
Dr. Cousens takes a group of people with diabetes, Type 2s and Type 1s, to his healing centre, called ‘The Tree of Life Healing Center’, in Arizona. He puts them on a plant-based diet – a low-fat, raw food diet. For 30 days they are just eating fresh plant foods, focusing on vegetables, leafy greens, sprouts, fruits (fresh and dried).
What’s really interesting is that he checks their blood sugar levels from day one and their levels start to come down when they simply eat plant-based whole foods. When he reduces their medication, their levels come down even more!
By the end of 30 days, the Type 2 diabetics have perfect blood sugar with zero medication – the definition of the cure for Type 2 Diabetes.
So, what causes Type 2 Diabetes?
I’ve had people come to my fasting programs over the years, and what I have come to believe is that the actual cause of Type 2 Diabetes is excess fat.
Everybody is out there running around believing that it’s actually sugar that causes diabetes. Now, I’m not a proponent of processed sugars. I don’t like it and I think it’s poison. We should have natural sugars from whole foods.
But Dr. Cousens has proven that it’s actually the fats. When you eat too much fat, the fat gets into your lymphatic and circulatory systems and it clogs everything. You end up with a thick coating of fat in your arteries.
Then when you eat some fruit or sugar, sugar uploads into the circulatory system that feeds all the cells and it gets trapped. This causes a pancreatic response of insulin. The fat coats the pancreas and you end up developing diabetes.
I’ve taken people through juice fasts, and literally had them reverse Type 2 Diabetes. Dr. Cousens puts people on a plant-based diet for 30 days, so there’s a big lifestyle shift that needs to take place as well to ensure success.
What about Type 1 Diabetes?
When it comes to Type 1 Diabetes, this is known to be an autoimmune condition. It is believed your immune system is attacking the pancreas, and the beta cells have been destroyed. You’re no longer producing insulin.
Now, the thing we need to understand here is that the pancreas has actually become quite toxic and congested. This means there are toxins IN the pancreas. It’s congested and it’s not able to move the way it should because of the excess fats.
When the pancreas becomes toxic, the cells start to break down. This toxicity comes from vaccinations and heavy metals like mercury, thimerosal and aluminum. Another culprit are anti-caking agents put into salt and baking goods. Numerous types of toxins come from artificial colours and sweeteners as well. All these things get into the body and wreak havoc.
As the pancreas starts to break down from all this toxicity, the immune system comes in and attempts to clean up the dying cells to try to keep us alive. When scientists look at the pancreas, it looks as if the immune system is attacking it and destroying it.
But that’s not what is happening. The immune system is trying to clean up the mess.
The way to reverse Type 1 Diabetes is to reset the immune system and detoxify from all the waste.
The best way to do this i s with fasting. Whether it’s water fasting or juice fasting for extended periods of time, fasting allows the entire body to detoxify from heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives and all the toxic things that we’ve been eating and consuming for so long.
Studies from the University of Southern California have proven that if we fast on water only for just 3 days, our entire immune system gets reset. So, with fasting, detoxifying, and resetting the immune system, in time Type 1 Diabetes can be reversed.
People are doing it, it’s actually happening! A lot of people are going to watch this video (or read this blog) and be like, “This is complete horseshit. I’m sorry, I don’t believe it. I’ve been told by doctors this is irreversible. It’s an autoimmune condition. You have to take drugs your whole life.”
I know for many of you reading this, it’s going to be a tough one to get through. But if you can, I recommend watching the documentary by Dr. Gabriel Cousens because Type 1s and Type 2s have reversed this condition.
I know you can too. I vote your victory!
Thanks for reading!
