I'm sorry you have to go through this.

I talked to a sprouter on the phone yesterday -- really a nice guy

and very knowlegable. Years ago, his mother was elderly, diabetic

and she needed him to move in to care for her. She was at 76 units

of insulin. He said, " OK but you'll have to eat sprouts. " She

agreed, so he moved in. He started putting a lot of sprouts

(frozen, and ground up) in her morning oatmeal (I forgot which kind,

but he said today he'd use buckwheat). Day three she went into

insulin shock and her levels had to be dropped to 35 u. By the end

of the week her levels were dropped to 10 u. She became non-

diabetic and that was done only by the addition of those sprouts

into her oatmeal. I may be fuzzy on the details, but if you want to

talk with him yourself, I'll put you in touch. This guy has been

eating all raw for 6 months, he's 65, and says (and sounds like)

he's got energy to burn and feels great. He eats about a pound of

raw sprouts of various sorts every day. BTW, he says his food bill

dropped way down when he started eating this way, too.

I'm going to put a lot more sprouts and raw, organic produce in my

diet give it a try. I'm sitting here drinking a shake right now

that's got a bunch of sprouted lentils and some green magma and bee

pollen in it. I'm going to use my juicer more. I know when I've

upped my intake of raw foods in the past I've had much better mood

and energy. We'll see -- I may look great in shorts next summer and

wow the doc with my next blood test. Wish me luck!

Dunno if I shared this, but for exercise I found a fun site the
