M.D.s say Reverse diabetes versus treating it

Letter to the Editor

I have been helping families eliminate head lice (ukus) naturally for over 9 years and I am all too familar with hearing mothers express despair that despite the many bottles of lice insecticides they've poured onto their children's heads, the head lice and nits are still there. I have seen for myself the huge gap that sometimes exists between 'medical information' and what works.

On August 11, 2007, at Lydgate park, Kauai, there will be the Summer Bash for Type 2 Diabetes. Since so many children here will develop diabetes if they don't change their diets,I feel it is important for everyone to know that a new book could save their life: Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs.

You see, many people are not aware that diabetes is actually reversible.

People are not told that by avoiding certain foods, diabetes can actually be reserved, and all medications can be discontinued.

This fact does not benefit the financial bottom line for pharmacies, medical doctors, and drug sales who will be missing out on sick, diabetic customers for life.

Published in the Aug. 2006 issue of Diabetes Care, that study found Dr. Barnard’s program to be three times more effective than the American Diabetes Association Diet at controlling blood sugar. Rather than just compensate for malfunctioning insulin, like other treatment plans, Dr. Barnard’s program helps repair how the body uses insulin. It also includes helpful tips on adopting a plant-based diet and more than 50 delicious and easy-to-make recipes. (www.nealbarnard.org/diabetes_book.htm )

Hawaii's own Dr. Terry Shintani's M.D.s books are also great.

Another medical doctor who understands the importance of a vegan diet is Dr. Michael Greger M.D. In the newsletter of the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii, he writes the following. Greger writes, " Dr. Benjamin Spock, who was perhaps the world's most esteemed pediatrician, embraced vegan diets (no meat or dairy) in his final edition of Baby and Child Care, described as the second best selling book in history (second only to the bible). Dr. Spoke wrote, "Children who grow up getting their nutrition from plant foods rather than meats have a tremendous health advantage. They are less likely to develop weight problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer." "

It's worth checking out the lastest edition of Baby and Child Care from the Library. In it, Dr. Benjamin Spock explains how his life-long health troubles went away shortly after adopting a vegan diet. On an aside, it would be wonderful if parent and child advocates would be informed to know to replace their old Baby and Child Care with the newest one as the information is different.

Here on Kauai, the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii (VSH) has a wonderful vegan potluck Luncheon and educational Lecture each month. Every time I go, I have a great time, eat delicious food, and learn a lot. Non-vegetarians, non-vegans, parents with children, health care workers and doctors in the front lines are encouraged to attend.

The Potluck luncheons are on the first Sunday of every month at noon at the Kapaa Neighborhood Center.

We owe it to our children to show them by example to eat plenty "more fruits and veggies". We will all lose weight, get healthy, and stay healthy. Since diabetes is reversible, it would be a good idea to find out how.

P.S. I am not a vegetarian, but I mainly eat vegan foods.

I hope this page may help you in some way.

Best of health,
