Type-II diabetic.

Donna and others - Here's a repost of an earlier article by Elchanan

on Diabetes....note the comments that it is *NOT* a sugar problem. I

found the article initially very intriguing and informative, and I

still do.

RE: [Raw Food] RAW DIET AND TYPE 2 DIABETES

Actually, and surprisingly to most people, diabetes II responds best

to

fruit and greens. It is true that a high-greens diet may lead to

short-term

positive change. But the problem with relying heavily on greens is

that you

cannot live on them, they simply don't provide enough calories/ fuel

for

thermomechanical energy.

Diabetes is NOT a sugar problem though it appears to manifest as

such. But

diabetes, hyper/hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, chronic fatigue,

Candida,

among other " conditions " are largely result from elevated blood fat.

Elevated blood fat inhibits sugar uptake, so that sugar cannot leave

the

blood and transfer into the cells that need it. The cells are hungry,

and

the blood retains " too much " sugar. The body responds by producing

more

insulin, eventually bringing down the blood sugar for the moment. The

person

then eats as usual, bringing in another does of fat and starch. The

problem

repeats, until after a number of years, adrenal/pancreatic fatigues

sets in.

If adrenal fatigue is diagnosed, you may be told you have chronic

fatigue.

If pancreatic fatigue is diagnosed, you will be told it is diabetes

or some

other blood sugar problem. And then the medical industry shovels

insulin.

By removing all fatty foods -- even nuts, seeds, and avocado for

awhile --

and consuming fruits and greens, you can watch the diabetes disappear

permanently, in a stable, sustainable way. Fasting can also be

constructive,

but ONLY after all medication is removed. Then you can reintegrate

the raw

high-fat foods, if you like.

All that having been said, there is much more to know. If you are

taking any

drugs (insulin, etc.), then someone with experience working with such

a diet

and with getting off meds. Earlier I recommended Dr. Tim Trader, that

is a

good resource. Or Dr. Doug Graham, if he is available to work with.

Best,

Elchanan
