Diabetes Type 2; Herbs & Treatments; Innate Intelligence (WAS: New to the group)

[Guest guest]

Many people have indeed experienced complete reversal/disappearance of

diabetes 2 after embracing a RF program and making certain lifestyle

changes.

 

CAVEAT: This reversal is itself easily reversed (the diabetes returns with

a vengeance) if a person returns to former ways of eating and living. In

other words, it's not a quick fix, it's a choice to live differently

forever. We serve people best when we emphasize this distinction before they

begin. There is no turning back.

 

Also, I suggest that we exercise some caution in making any claims. Diabetes

typically occurs in the presence of other symptoms and/or diagnoses, and

often people diagnosed with diabetes are taking medications for other

" conditions " at the same time. When this is the case, there is no substitute

for genuine knowledge and experience about how to proceed.

 

I've seen people do great on their own ... and I've seen a few people hurt

themselves on their own, too. Some private advice is always a good idea when

transitioning off long-term-use medications.

 

Regarding your comments below, Erica, no juicing and no herbs are ever

required; people who love these things continue to love them. But the

results achieved by simply eating a healthful mix of whole foods are most

sustainable; that is, they make for the most healthful long-term lifestyle.

Why not just start out on the " best " path to begin with, and save some money

in the process by purchasing no products? Complete waste, in my personal

experience working with people.

 

Furthermore, the idea that the pancreas needs " support " reflects a

misunderstanding of the nature of diabetes itself. Diabetes 2 results from

chronic elevated blood fat; it is not truly a blood-sugar problem at all ...

such a description applies to the symptoms, not to the underlying problem,

or cause. Herbs not only add nothing, they actually detract because they are

all toxic, in and of themselves, to at least some degree. Whenever we eat

so-called " medicinal herbs " , the body MUST divert valuable energy and other

resources to removal of the herbs we have eaten.

 

Whenever we improve our diet and lifestyle, our health improves.

 

Whenever we improve our diet and lifestyle and throw some of our improved

food into a blender, our health improves.

 

Whenever we improve our diet and lifestyle can also eat some herbs, our

health improves.

 

Whenever we improve our diet and lifestyle and also eat some " cleanse " , our

health improves.

 

Whenever we improve our diet and lifestyle and also eat some " superfoods " ,

our health improves.

 

Whenever we improve our diet and lifestyle and also shoot water up our ass,

our health improves.

 

THE BIG PICTURE: Whenever we improve our diet and lifestyle, our health

improves.

 

I strongly encourage everyone to begin to embrace the paradigm shift from

medical-model thinking, in which we focus on and " treat " symptoms, to

health-model thinking, in which we live healthfully and watch with a sense

of gratitude and wide-eyed wonderment as our systems cleanse, restore, and

replenish themselves without any prompting, " support " , or other interference

of any kind whatsoever. THAT, in my view, is part of the " miracle of life " ,

if I may use that language for a moment. The miracle lies not only in the

existence of life, but in the vast innate intelligence inherent WITHIN all

life.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Welcome! Diabetes, Type 2, is diet-caused. I was booted from the diabetes

for remarking that it is reversible. Crazy! Some people are very

attached to and protective of their illnesses. I have seen radically bad

type 2 diabetes respond in a matter of weeks! My friend reversed her

husband's in no time at all, using a lot of raw foods and raw juices, plus

some cooked vegan foods and some great herbs that support the pancreas, etc.

She also did some colon

cleansing, liver cleansing and kidney cleansing with him. I would say his

extremely high blood sugar readings were coming out pretty normal within a

month. You can do it! One of the very best overviews of this entire

lifestyle is called: Living Foods For Optimum Health by Brian Clements. It

is usually a lot cheaper used on www.half.com or www.amazon.con

I would like to point out that the presumption that the path you

believe is " best " is simply your own private opinion. The person

inquiring should know that a healthy diet will reverse diabetes, yes.

It does not have to be all raw, even, let alone " natural hygiene " .

Herbs and fresh juices are wonderfully healing to the body, especially

in terms of diabetes. I've seen various routes be used -- similar, but

varying in nature/modalities a bit -- and they all lead to the reversal

of diabetes due to their shared foundation. Why not present the

inquisitor with a balanced view of their options instead of simply

promoting one's own very limited, very inflexible opinion as the only

truth? That is what I would like to know. Erica

I don't think anyone here would ever debate this or disagree with you

about this, myself especially. Where we differ is simply that not all

of us are natural hygienists. ;-) Erica
