I would like to clarify things a little. Dr Bernarr's training is as a
chiropractor. I am Dr Bernarr's computer consultant and put up his web
site for him. He wanted it up quickly so he gave me some articles that
he had written some years ago. His diet awareness has changed since he
has come into contact with the Los Angeles Raw Animal Food Potlucks.
He has been our host for most of them and has seen how well many of
the participants are doing. He is now recommending raw animal foods to
his vegetarian patients that were having difficulty. The web site is
being changed to show his new dietary principles. It will no longer
say vegetarian. He feels that one should eat foods in as natural state
as possible which is basically why Ray states as his first law in
Neander-Thin. Dr Bernarr feels that you should choose the foods that
agree with you rather than some arbitrary list. He does not feel that
our bodies were created with unnecessary parts that need to be removed
by your favorite surgeon. He feels that the body will do the healing
if given a chance. I asked the juvenile diabetic that he helped to get
off insulin to write up her story and have included it below. Dr
Bernarr is a caring men who wants to help. He was a little shocked at
the response he received from this list. He is not an enemy, he is not
a fool and he is not a joke. Please consider what he suggests. Paleo
people did not depend upon modern medicine to cure their problems.
Maybe we can be healthy today without it. This is basically what Dr
Bernarr has been saying.

         Susie's story

Dave,

Here is my story:

I am the juvenile diabetic you were so "appalled" to hear about.  I
did "take myself" off of insulin.  I was fortunate enough to have Dr.
Bernarr there to help me through the process.  He has helped me more
than I ever imagined one human being could help another.

I have successfully been off of insulin for over 6 months now.   I
could not have done so without Dr. Bernarr.  It has been an extremely
difficult process.

I began by fasting, i.e. complete abstinence from all food & juices,
drinking only distilled water, for 10 days.  I spent the entire time
in bed with my eyes closed, meditating, i.e. feeling my symptoms, not
thinking about them.  I literally only opened my eyes to get up  to go
to the toilet.

After I stopped fasting, the only things that changed were that I
began to eat a little bit, anaerobic exercise and take nude sun
baths.  However, I continued to spend the rest of my time in bed,
resting and meditating with my eyes closed.

I spent a period of about 2 weeks in a state of paralysis.  I could
hardly move. I could not turn over in bed. If I tried to move, I would
feel close to blacking out. I was so dizzy.  Fortunately, I had Dr.
Bernarr to come feed me & change my bed pan.  Despite how frightening
this experience was, I did not run to the hospital. I did not apply
any therapy of any kind.  I continued to rest and meditate.  Things
got better and better until, slowly but surely, I was able to move
about.

I have continued to rest and meditate in this fashion, with my eyes
closed, as often as possible.  I have also gone on 2 more short fasts,
when my body was calling for those fasts.  I have also exercised as
vigorously as possible, every day possible - at times as much as 3-1/2
hours a day. I have experimented with all different kinds of foods,
including raw animal foods. Dr. Bernarr has advised me on all of the
diets I have tried.

I have endured many, many symptoms. I have watched and listened to my
body as it has been healing.  My metabolism has gotten better and
better - along with many other things.  All of the healing I have done
has been as a result of following Dr. Bernarr's philosophy and
advice.  Everything he has instructed me to do has been to my benefit
- everything!

After meditating a long time, I came to realize I had been dying on
the
insulin. Now, I have a second chance at life. I have been reborn, in a
sense.

If I can successfully heal myself after 9 years on insulin through
completely natural means, I believe anyone can heal themselves
naturally.

I am a far cry from being in a hospital somewhere suffering from
"ketoacidosis". Today, I am feeling and functioning better than ever
before.

I am saddened that you cannot open your mind to the possibility of
healing naturally. I am also saddened to see you attack the one person
I know not only has the ability to help you and others, but the
generosity to devote himself to doing so.
