You are incorrect Jerry Steg.
We have successfully helped heal Diabetes 1 and Diabetes 2 via the respective
diabetic patients adhering to eating a raw, unprocessed paleo diet, anerobic
exercise and "feeling" meditation.
CASE HISTORY OF PATIENT WHOM WE HELPED HEALED OF DIABETES 1
A description of one of our Diabetes 1 cases that we helped heal, was
described in David Wolfe's "Sunfood Lifestyle" first edition. David Wolfe met her and
knew her very well before and after she no longer had her Juvenile Diabetes.
She was 25 years old. She had Juvenile Diabetes for 10 years. She attended our
monthly raw food potlucks-lectures-discussions, before and after her becoming
free of insulin dependency.

Three days ago I received posts from Dr. Bernarr regarding diabetes. His
posts gave me the confidence to quit the insulin. Only a day later I started to
improve. My blood pressure which was 208 over 160 a week ago was now down to 130
over 50, without my blood pressure medicine. my heart which had been skipping
beats, sometimes after only 1, 2 or 3 beats, hasn't skipped since then. The
swelling in my ankles and legs was so bad a week ago I couldn't wear shoes or
socks. They are back to normal now. My sugar readings are very good, well below
the 150 that the doctor was striving for.
When my husband checks my sugar twice a day he is confounded. We couldn't get
these kinds of readings with all the many pills I was taking.

You'll be happy to know that since I received Dr. Bernarr's post re: diabetes
I went off insulin ALTOGETHER! That's 4 days now! And my sugar readings are
always under 150, something the medics couldn't do WITH insulin!
And...I'm feeling stronger every day!
Date: 5/2/2001 7:24:48 PM Pacific Daylight Time
Dr. Bernarr gave me good advice when I was about to give in and '"call it
quits." For that I am very, very grateful.

Today is my 8th day of no insulin and no medications. I feel better every
day...all my symptoms appear to be gone. Normal sugar readings, 90 to 135 (even
after I've eaten an all-fruit meal), no swelling in the legs, blood pressure is
very good (compared to the 208 over 160 that it was 2 weeks ago), no chest
pains, my heart no longer skips beats every 1, 2 or 3 beats, no hiatal hernia
problems, arthritic pains in the knees and hands are gone.
Date: Fri, 4 May 2001 20:40:30-0400
As of last Thursday (8 days ago) I read Dr. Bernarr's paper on Diabetes. I
went off insulin, AND all my prescription drugs...nitro, Lasix, Topril (high
blood pressure), and a few others. A DAY later I was getting relief. Knock
wood...I haven't had a single pain or irritation coming from the hiatal hernia site
since then.
going off the drugs worked like a charm! Every one of my symptoms went away.
Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 11:24:55-0400
Today is day #9, my bp (blood pressure) was 115 over 67 (compared to 208 over
160 a week ago. Pulse 78, Sugar 92...after a whole day of fasting yesterday.
So, Dr. Bernarr, I feel was a gift from God...God's "messenger." He gave me
the courage to go off the insulin. But at this particular time I felt like I
had nothing to lose. In fact, I even thought...gee, maybe I'll go quicker if I
stop the insulin? And believe me, I was ANXIOUS to get it over with at that
point.

It was only after I listened to Dr. Bernarr, stopping all the drugs and
insulin, that I saw improvement.

ALL DIABETICS HAVE POOR MUSCLE TONE. EXERCISE HELPS HEAL DIABETES
Since the diabetic cannot store glucose as glycogen, nor use it for fuel,
he/she has a tendency to lose weight. He/she is lacking in energy, despite the
inordinate eating. 85% of the glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles. No
true diabetic has a well toned and muscular body. Bodyweight is 50% muscle.
Anaerobic strength training has the effect of increasing muscle mass. Anaerobic
strength exercise improves sugar metabolism. This takes up some of the excess
glucose from the bloodstream.
A study published in the American Physiological Society's Journal of Applied
Psychology in 1994, indicates that weight training helps the body make more
efficient use of the insulin it produces.
The American Journal of Epidemiology, 1994, vol. 40, no. 4, reported a test
done on men with the highest level of physical activity. These men had
significantly lower insulin levels during the glucose tolerance test as compared to
men who had low physical activity.
The Journal of Applied Physiology, 1994, vol. 77, no. 3, reported that 11 men
underwent a strength-training program. Results showed that fasting insulin
and insulin levels during the glucose tolerance test, were significantly lower
after the training program.
The Journal of Applied Physiology, May 1990, showed that when men over 60
stopped exercise and lead sedentary lives, their glucose intolerance, which is an
early sign of diabetes, increases.
In 1971, F. J. Buys and his associates in Johannesburg, South Africa,
reported their work with 8 diabetic patients. Each of the 8 individuals completed
vigorous exercises for half an hour each day, for a period of 8 months. At the
end of this time, symptoms of diabetes, disappeared for 7 of the 8 patients.
DIABETES IS NOT CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PANCREAS
In the late 1960's, GM Reaven and his associates at Stanford, discovered that
diabetics often had more insulin present in their blood than nondiabetics. It
was furthermore discovered, that a diabetic's pancreas could produce just as
much insulin and just as quickly, as that of a normal person. In one stroke,
the cherished theory that diabetes is always caused by a defective pancreas,
was thus swept away. For how could a pancreas be "defective", if it could
produce just as much insulin and just as quickly, as a normal pancreas, as is very
often the case?
Often at autopsy, the medical examiner is unable to find any damage to the
islets of Langerhans, in the pancreas of some diabetics. Yet these individuals,
when alive, had been given insulin, because of the appearance of sugar in the
blood.
MANY BODILY ORGANS ARE INVOLVED WITH DIABETES
Many other factors are involved in abnormal sugar metabolism: the liver,
because of overactivity in its many functions, or "dullness" in its capacity, may
not store glycogen; the pituitary gland in the brain, secreting the hormonal
diabeticogenic factors, A.C.T.H., and thyrotropic factors, may not be
functioning properly; the thyroid and adrenal glands may be in malfunction. When
insulin is given, it robs the specific insulin-producing cells of their stimulative
impulses, and they atrophy quickly.
