Diabetes is considered to be an incurable disease by most doctors.
What does that really mean to you as a patient?
This means that modern medicine provides no permanent cure for diabetes.
However, the line between what is curable and what is incurable is not as clear as the modern medicine would like us to believe.
For example, let's consider diabetes. It is commonly considered an incurable disease, meaning that patients need to learn to "live with the disease" using the prescription medications to control their blood sugar levels.
What the doctors typically will not tell their patients is that diabetes can in fact be reversed by making necessary improvements to one's diet and lifestyle - i.e. by following the science of healthy living. Of course, if you go back to your unhealthy habits, the diabetes will likely be back, as well as a host of other health problems that are lifestyle-related.
This is a message that is not very optimistic.
OK, so living with diabetes may not be so bad, but what about being completely diabetes free? Is that possible?
So, instead on constantly talking about what's curable and what's not, we should be talking more about what is preventable and reversible. We should take responsibility for our own health!
You don’t hear the media or doctors or pharmaceutical companies (!) talk about this very often.
Talking about preventing or curing diabetes is often referred to as quackery or empty promises.
That is why I’m always excited to read books and articles that provide a much more optimistic view on this subject, while being based on sound scientific research. And this is what I want to present to you – some research from an excellent book “The China Study” that I highly recommend for anyone living with diabetes (or with any other chronic ailment that is caused by our lifestyle and diet).
Recommended Reading: “The China Study”
The fact is that there is no research that links diabetes to one specific food that you eat or one specific thing that you do.
However, there is ABUNDANT evidence that demonstrates that by making some simple (although not always easy in our Western culture) changes to our lifestyle and eating habits, you will most likely prevent diabetes (and various other diseases) and even get rid of diabetes or pre-diabetes completely, if you are currently suffering from it.
The book presents plenty of data that clearly demonstrates what I’m talking about:
Like most chronic diseases, diabetes is found more frequently in some areas of our globe than in others. This fact has been well documented. It has also been demonstrated that the populations with lower rates of diabetic disease, consume a vastly different diet from what is eaten by populations with high rate of diabetes.
Almost seventy years ago, H.P Himsworth compiled all the existing research in a report comparing diets and diabetes rates in six countries. What he found was that some cultures were consuming high-fat diets, while others had diets high in carbohydrates. These fat versus carbohydrate consumption patters were the result of animal versus plant food consumption.
The compilation of data from these six counties – including the U.S., Holland, England, Scotland, Italy and Japan – clearly showed that as unrefined carbohydrate intake goes up and fat intake goes down, the number of deaths from diabetes sharply drops from 20.4 to 2.9 per 100,000 people.
The conclusion?
A high-carbohydrate (unrefined carbohydrate, not the processed carbs, like white flour), low-fat diet – a natural, unprocessed plant-based diet – may help to prevent diabetes.
Some other studies:
- The same researchers enlarged their study to eleven countries in Central and South America and Asia. The strongest association they found with diabetes was excess weight. Populations eating the most “Western” type of diet also had the highest cholesterol levels, which in turn was strongly associated with the rate of diabetes.
However, if you consider that these simple changes can prevent or even cure a condition that leads to heart disease, stroke, blindness, or amputation, a condition that might require you to take medications or inject insulin into your body every day for the rest of your life – the choice is simple.
