This is SO amazing to me! There is a family whom we are close friends

with...the husband is a very good friend of my husbands...and he has

diabetes (his

sister died of complications from diabetes when she was 32!). He's on

insulin as well as quite a few other medicines to control the side affects

of the

insulin and other medicines. He has a horrible diet...drinks diet sodas,

eats white breads, lots of processed foods...fried foods

 

I'm going to print out your post, Elchanan, and give it to his wife (who is

 

trying so very hard to help him change his diet). They have a 1 1/2 year

old daughter, and we all are afraid his health is going down so fast he may

not

have the opportunity to watch her grow up The sad thing is that I think

 

he is afraid to try anything other than the meds the conventional dr

prescribes...he doesn't see the food/health connection. In other words, he

thinks

diet wouldn't affect the disease 'that much'...that he just has to deal

with it

via the dr.s' recommendation (which is MORE MEDS

Many thanks, Bob, for finding and reposting that message on diabetes.

Denise and all:

 

The paradigm shift involved here is quite large. You see, the diet does not

" cause " the " disease, " rather the diet IS the " disease. " The " disease "

itself does not really exist. Only a collection of symptoms exists. And

these symptoms are not the problem. Rather, they constitute an array of

attempts by the body to respond to the conditions we create within and

without.

 

The same may be said of virtually all known " diseases " : the diseases are

nothing more than labels applied to collections of symptoms, where each

symptom is the body's valiant attempt to care for itself. And every time we

shut off a symptom (as shutting down a headache with an analgesic, or

covering over a rash with some cream or ointment), we directly, consciously,

and now that you know this, intentionally, interfere with the body's own

natural healing processes and mechanisms.

 

The body is a self- monitoring, self-maintaining, self-cleansing,

self-repairing biological " machine. " This is why supplements, cleanses, etc.

are all exercises in futility, in the long run, and such " remedies " always

impair the body in some way. In response to the conditions we create, by

virtue of our free will, the body applies all its vast innate intelligence

-- an intelligence of Divine origin (whatever that may mean to each of us)

and that utterly transcends any concoctions of the conscious mind. But even

this vast intelligence cannot overcome an unending internal bombardment of

foreign matter (toxins) and a ceaseless overloading of some materials (e.g.,

fats) at the expense of others (e.g., fuel, simple sugars).

 

In fact, this improper loading of fats over sugars is the primary physical

cause of most cravings and the like that RFs experience. The body simply

cannot transport fuel (glucose) properly when blood fat is too high, and the

body is ALWAYS deficient in various nutrients, as I describe following.

 

In a physical sense, we are water-based beings. The vast majority of our

metabolism occurs in a waterborne environment, and similarly the vast

majority of our nutrients are either water-soluble (B vitamins, vitamin C,

most enzymes, all carbohydrates, all mineral salts -- calcium, potassium,

magnesium, etc.) or water-transportable (as when iron attaches to

hemoglobin, which travels in blood, which is almost 85% water).

 

As we increase our consumption of fats, either as an absolute number above a

very small amount, or as a percentage or calories, we necessarily decrease

our consumption of ALL water-soluble and water-transportable nutrients --

literally tens or even hundreds of thousands of different nutrients (if we

take into account those nutrients not yet discovered by science). Further,

primary metabolic elimination in the body occurs via the breath (exhalation

of moist air) and the urine (water carrying toxins). So here again, we are

water-based creatures.

 

Our natural diet -- by which I mean, the diet our bodies most easily and

efficiently and effectively ingest, digest, absorb, assimilate, and

eliminate -- consists of foods that are high in water, oxygen, and fuel

(simple sugars) and low in fat and protein. This description really fits

only one " food group, " namely fruits. And we also require greens -- soft,

tender greens -- in order to maintain our mineral loading, for fiber, and

for a vast array of nutrients whose production is driven by solar energy and

whose existence and purpose is barely understood at all by present-day

science.

 

Denise, I encourage you to keep in mind that one email from an unknown

source is unlikely to engender a paradigm shift of this magnitude in most

people. I encourage you to be patience, compassionate, not demanding in any

way. And I share one other learning that has been most helpful to me: I can

only help those who would receive my help, I can only give to those who are

ready, willing, and able NOW to receive what I have to give. My acceptance

of this apparent " reality " has brought me much peace and has helped me gain

considerable discernment about when, where, and with whom I share my

knowledge and experience.

 

I hope this information and perspective are constructive and helpful.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan
