Chapter 2 Diabetes: A

Growing Problem

Diabetes is a growing problem in the world. In 2013, there was approximately 380

million people with diabetes worldwide. And 46% of those affected are between the

ages of 40 – 59 years old.

In the United States approximately 30 million people have diabetes, about 10% of the

population. And this number is rising drastically every year. So what can we do to stop

it? Well first we need to explain a little bit about diabetes and what causes it.

What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a metabolism disorder. It’s caused by the way in which the body digests food

for energy. When you eat food, your digestive track breaks down the sugars and

starches and creates glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar that is easily absorbed in the

bloodstream, and is used as energy for your body’s cells with the help of a hormone

called insulin, which is produced in your pancreas.

Diabetes is caused when your pancreas cannot make enough insulin or when your body

doesn’t use insulin effectively. When your body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or your

body doesn’t react correctly to the insulin produced, glucose does not get absorbed in

the cells, and can build up in the bloodstream. This causes high blood glucose levels, or

low blood glucose levels.

When you have high blood glucose levels, your body begins to break down – nerves

and blood vessels become damaged. This eventually causes all sorts of complications,

such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, dental disease, blindness and amputations.

But this is a very simplistic view of diabetes, in a few pages you’ll start learning the true

cause and why mainstream science is wrong.

Different Types Of Diabetes

Diabetes also known as diabetes mellitus (DM) or

sugar diabetes, describes a group of metabolic

diseases in which a person has high blood sugar

levels. This high blood sugar can be brought on by

12

the body’s cells not responding properly to insulin, or if insulin production is insufficient,

or both.

There are several different types of diabetes. Some are quite common and others you

may have never heard of. Below is a list of the different types of diabetes. The top three

are considered the most common types of diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes or juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disease that permanently

destroys beta cells in the pancreas, causing the body to no longer produce insulin.

Therefore anyone with type 1 diabetes becomes insulin dependent to manage their

diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is most common in children, but can be diagnosed at any age.

This type of diabetes can be considered deadly if the condition is not caught and

treated. Below are common symptoms of type 1 diabetes:

Feeling tired

Above average thirst – a constant feeling of thirst

Increase need to urinate

Skin infections

And weight loss

Note: With a modern day diet, Insulin is needed to take sugar from your blood

and move into your cells to be used as energy. If your body cannot make an

efficient amount of insulin or any insulin, the sugars in the foods you eat will

stay in your blood stream and cause high blood sugar levels.

13

Type 2 Diabetes:

Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder that results in high blood sugar (glucose) levels

(hyperglycemia). These high blood glucose levels are caused by the body not being able

to use insulin it has produced effectively (also known as insulin resistance), or the body

is unable to produce insulin.

Previously type 2 diabetes was also called adult-onset diabetes, because it occurred

mostly in people over 40 years of age. However, type 2 diabetes is now becoming more

common in young adults and teens. It accounts for 90% of all diabetic causes

worldwide.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes are similar to that of type 1 diabetes, but in type 2 they

develop slowly over a period of a week or even months, making it hard for people to

recognise them as symptoms of a condition. Below are the common symptoms of type

2 diabetes:

Excessive thirst

Frequent urination

Extreme tiredness

Increased hunger

And sudden loss of muscle mass.

Differences Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes

Often diagnosed in childhood Often diagnosed in 30+ year olds

Often associated with higher than normal

ketone levels

Often associated with high blood

pressure and/or cholesterol levels

14

Not associated with excess body weight Usually associated with excess body

weight

Treated with use of insulin injections or

insulin pump

Initially treated with medication

Gestational Diabetes:

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that can develop during pregnancy. Hormone

changes in pregnancy, specifically the hormones made by the placenta start to resist

insulin. This usually occurs in the second or third trimester so pregnant women will often

be sent for a screening test around 24 – 28 weeks. It occurs in 1 in 20 pregnant women.

Very few pregnant women require insulin to control gestational diabetes. It can mostly

be managed by a balanced diet and exercise, and most often goes away after the baby

is born.

Brittle Diabetes:

Brittle diabetes is a hard to control type 1 diabetes. People with brittle diabetes

experience frequent swings in their blood sugar levels, which causes hyperglycemia (too

much sugar in the blood stream) or hypoglycemia (low sugar levels in the blood stream).

These fluctuations are serious and hospital visits are a usual occurrence. Brittle diabetes

effects the person’s life more than any other type of diabetes, as it is very interrupting to

employment and can cause a lot of stress on the person diagnosed. Brittle diabetes is a

rare condition, affecting approximately 3 in 1000 people with type 1 diabetes. And it

usually affects overweight woman between the 15 – 30 years of age.

15

Diabetes LADA:

Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood (LADA) is type 1 diabetes that affects adults.

Usually patients receive the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, as this is more common in

adults, but however they have diabetes LADA. People with diabetes LADA lack some of

the type 2 diabetes symptoms and usually have difficulty getting results from using

standard hyperglycaemia medicine. Diabetes LADA affects 6 - 10% of people diagnosed

with diabetes.

Diabetes MODY:

Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a type of diabetes that is linked to a

mutation in the person’s genes. Diabetes MODY is rare and affects approximately 1- 2%

of people with diabetes. This form of diabetes is similar to type 2 diabetes and shares

some of its symptoms, however it usually develops before the person turns 25 years old.

Double Diabetes:

Double diabetes is when a person has both type 1 and type 2 diabetes at the same time.

Steroid-Induced Diabetes:

Steroid-induced diabetes is type 2 diabetes

brought on by the use of corticosteroids.

Corticosteroids are typically used to reduce

harmful inflammation and can be taken to treat a

number of illnesses, including:

16

Lupus

Asthma

Rheumatoid arthritis

Ulcerative colitis

And Crohn’s disease

Usually people who are already at a risk of developing type 2 diabetes or those people

who need to take corticosteroids for a long period of time are likely to develop steroid-

induced diabetes.

People taking corticosteroids and have type 2 diabetes will experience the following

symptoms:

Blurred vision

Dry mouth

Extreme tiredness – lethargy

Increased thirst

And increased need to urinate

Secondary Diabetes:

Secondary diabetes is diabetes which is caused by a result of another medical condition.

Certain health conditions are known to cause diabetes, these include:

Hemochromatosis

Chronic pancreatitis

Cystic fibrosis

Polycystic ovary syndrome

Cushing’s syndrome

17

Glucagonoma

Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatectomy

Pre-diabetes:

Pre-diabetes or borderline diabetes as it is commonly referred to, is the presence of

higher than normal blood sugar levels, but not high enough for the person to be

diagnosed with diabetes. Pre-diabetes usually affects people who are obese, and most

who have it, are unaware they do as the condition comes on gradually and with very

little symptoms. This is why it is important to be aware of the risk factors, and get tested

for pre-diabetes.

The following are the risk factors:

40+ years old

Overweight or obese

High blood pressure, low HDL

(good cholesterol) or high

triglycerides

Gave birth to a 9+ pound

baby

Have a close relative (parent or sibling) that has or had diabetes

18

Mainstream Theory On The Cause Of Diabetes

According to the medical industry, diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing

enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced.

In the case of type 1, they say it is an autoimmune disease generally caused by genetics

or unknown causes. Autoimmune basically means the body attacks itself. Does that

make sense? Why would your body attack itself?

As for type 2, they say “insulin resistance” is the cause. They blame defects in your

insulin receptors as the reason your cells can’t use your insulin. So for most people it’s

not that you don’t have enough insulin, it’s just that your body can’t use it.

They say that it’s primarily due to genetics and lifestyle factors. At least they’re partially

right on this one. But even though they list lifestyle as a factor, as we’ll see in the next

chapter, their main treatments are insulin and pharmaceutical drugs.

I don’t want to spend too much time on conventional theories, if they were correct,

there wouldn’t be an epidemic of diabetes facing the world right now.

The fact is, the true cause of diabetes isn’t about insulin at all. Later in this book we’ll go

into detail regarding the real cause of diabetes and how you can prevent or even

reverse diabetes all together.

The Big Pharma

Conspiracy

The Search For the Cure

Just think about this for a second. How many thousands of dollars have you spent on

doctors, prescription drugs and insurance? After all that money, what results did you

get? Are you beaming with health or are you still sick?

Last year, in the United States alone, $2.8 trillion was spent on health care. More than

any other country. And yet, our rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia,

autism and almost all diseases are some of the highest in the world. How could we be

spending so much money on health care and research and still have the highest level of

disease?

The fact is, the health and pharmaceutical industry hasn’t really cured anything since

1950. Think about that. How many billions, even trillions of dollars have gone into

research for cures? How many charities exist, collecting donations to search for a cure?

After all that time and money, nothing has been cured in the last 65 years? How can

that be? Don’t believe me, look it up. Try to find diseases that have been cured.

Yes you go the doctors and they tell you have “this” or you have “that” – take some of

this medicine you’ll feel better. But do you really feel better?

Most pharmaceutical drugs don’t even attempt to fix the root cause, they just cover the

symptoms. It’s like owning a car and seeing the engine repair light going on. And

20

instead of repairing the engine you just break the engine warning light. No more

warning light, but how long will your car work until in breaks down.

And you have to deal with the dangerous side effects including death. Just look at the

warning label of most prescription drugs and ask yourself, is it really worth all these side

effects if it’s not even treating the root cause?

The problem is they don’t want you to be cured. Good customers are sick customers.

That’s the real reason there’s no cures. Diabetes is a perfect business for them. You

have to buy test strips, medication, and insulin over and over again… forever!

Diabetes Treatment Fraud

Think about this. Diabetes alone is a $245 billion dollar business and growing. All those

doctor visits, prescriptions and insulin injections is making them a fortune. And that

doesn’t include the amount of money people spend on items to “better” their lives, such

as compression socks, blood sugar measuring devices and test strips.

The amount of money we spend on diabetes

is continuously rising, with no end in sight.

The price for a simple blood glucose monitor

(something every diabetic needs), ranges

anywhere between $20 - $70. If you are one

of the lucky patients that can snag a free

monitor from their healthcare provider than you may be saving a little.

But the cost of the strips is what will get you. Every blood glucose monitor uses testing

strips. And these testing strips are only good once, as you have to prick your finger with

21

a needle until it draws blood and place a drop of blood on the strip. Once you get your

blood sugar result, you have to throw away the strip. At as much as $1 each, you can

easily spend $100/month just on paper testing strips.

And that doesn’t include the batteries in the monitor that need to be replaced every

year. Or other necessities such as insulin injections (around $80/bottle + the cost of a

syringe, needles and alcohol swabs), or prescription drugs (up to $282 per month), or

compression socks ($15.00/each pair).

And none of this stuff helps you treat the root cause, so you’ll be paying these fees

month after month. Not only do none of their solutions work, they harm you more than

you think. Let’s take a quick look at what these solutions are actually doing to your

bodies.

What Insulin Therapy Does To Your Body

Ironically being on insulin therapy, something

that’s supposed to help your diabetes, actually

causes you to gain weight. How can a doctor

prescribe you medicine that actually harms your

body, and makes it harder to ever get rid of

diabetes?

Well like we explained above, it’s all a trick to keep you coming back to the doctor’s and

spending your hard earned money.

Insulin may seem like the right choice. Especially when your doctor uses all sorts of

unrecognizable medical terms to explain what insulin will do to your body. But

22

ultimately insulin isn’t something your body needs at all. Just look at the list of side

effects below, that insulin therapy can do to your body:

Nausea

Tiredness

Headache

Heart palpitations

Blurred vision

Numbness around the mouth,

Tingling sensation in the fingers

Muscle weakness

Irritability

Loss of consciousness.

Skin reactions (redness, itching, swelling or rash)

Body swelling

Weight gain

Hormonal imbalance

Your pancreas stops making insulin naturally

Amputation

Cancer

Even death!

Medicine isn’t supposed to cause more problems than good. Insulin isn’t meant to be

added to our body to help cure diabetes, and it’s about time doctors all around the

world realized this. In the next chapter, we’ll share the true cause of diabetes.

23

Perscription Drugs Aren’t Any Better

Few people realize that prescription drugs have become a leading cause of death.

Drugs cause more than 2.2 million hospitalizations and 110,000 hospital-based deaths a

year.

Women, older people, and people with disabilities are least used in clinical trials and

most affected.

Prescription drugs are now killing far more people than illegal drugs. For the first time

ever in the US, more people were killed by drugs than motor vehicle accidents.

This includes the most popular diabetes drugs including Lantus, Januvia,

NovaLog/NovaRapid, Humalog, Victoza, Levemir, Janumet, NovaMix and Humulin.

'Pharmageddon' is upon us. Pharmageddon is "the prospect of a world in which

medicines and medicine produce more ill-health than health, and when medical

progress does more harm than good" and it is no longer a prospect but fully upon us.

Government

What about the government you ask? Wouldn’t the Food and Drug Administration

(FDA) step in and make sure diabetes drugs and treatments are safe and effective?

Well…that’s what it was first created for, but today it doesn’t work anything like that

anymore. Pharmaceutical companies have been spending millions of dollars lining the

pockets of corrupt politicians to keep the drugs flowing.

24

In fact, most of the top executives at the FDA either worked for big pharma in the past

or where offered high paying jobs right after their term.

Listen. It’s easier to believe what you’ve been told and to follow everyone else rather

than think for yourself. This is part of human nature. We want to believe that what the

drug companies and government tells us about diabetes is true. Unfortunately, most of

it is isn’t. At best, it’s misleading.

This disinformation is driven into people’s minds to such an extent that hearing anything

different sounds crazy to them. Most so called studies aren’t based on real scientific

truth anymore.

Just tell me who’s funding the study and I’ll tell you the result…before they even start.

Guess who pays for the studies. You guessed it, the same company that makes the

drugs. Conflict of interest? You decide.

If people actually knew the truth, these industries would lose huge profits because the

financial ‘health’ of these operations depends on them having complete control about

what the public knows about their own nutrition and health.

Unfortunately, you just can’t trust the nutritional information provided by the

government anymore. We have to start listening to our bodies.

Diabetes is all about the money and the pharmaceutical companies are making a killing

off your suffering. In the next chapter I’ll show you how to put an end to all that

suffering and finally free yourself from the debilitating effects of diabetes.

The True Cause

Of Diabetes

Leaving diabetes untreated can lead to serious health problems, such as kidney failure,

heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, blindness, amputations, cancer and even

death. Scary right?

Insulin therapy used to be your only option. But in reality the real cause of diabetes isn’t

the lack of insulin in your body. The true cause of diabetes is something completely

different.

So what can we do to reverse or prevent diabetes? Well, before we go into Diabetes

Free, let’s look at the true cause of diabetes.

The human body is one of the most complicated and incredible things in the entire

universe. It’s so complex that we may never fully understand how it all works. So

nothing you can take or do is going to cure your diabetes. The only way to cure

diabetes is to give the body what it needs so it can cure itself.

There are numerous reasons that contribute to diabetes, but I’m going to focus on the

top 5. And don’t worry, this may seem a little complicated, but the solution to all of

them is simple and we’ll get to that in the next part of the book.

26

1. Fat/Sugar Ratio

This is by far the most important factor in developing diabetes. So read carefully.

Your body is made up of trillions of cells. And each one of them needs energy to

survive. Your cells feed primarily off of sugar in the form of glucose.

Everything you eat ultimately gets converting into glucose and sent into your

bloodstream.

In a perfectly healthy cell, glucose is easily absorbed through the cell wall. The cells

don’t require insulin to absorb glucose.

Glucose

CELL

Healthy Glucose Metabolism

When blood isn’t clogged with free-

floating fat, cells can easily absorb

glucose in the bloodstream.

Insulin is not required for this to take

place as the medical Industry has

tricked you to believe.

27

Now here’s the true root cause of diabetes “they” don’t want you to know.

If your body has a high amount of fat floating in your blood (lipids), your cells get

coated with a layer of fat. This makes it impossible for glucose to enter the cell. Cells

become weak and sugar builds up in your blood stream, because it’s not being

absorbed by the cells.

Insulin is how your body deals with the excess glucose in the bloodstream. As you know

as a diabetic, high blood sugar levels can be very dangerous. They can knock you

unconscious, leave you in a coma or even cause death!

In order to deal with this excess glucose and protect your body from harm, your

Excess Glucose

CELL

High Lipid Glucose Metabolism

High blood lipids (FAT) are very sticky

and coat the outside of your cells

making it very difficult for the glucose

to be absorbed by the cells.

This is why your blood sugar spikes

and you still feel tired.

High blood sugar is dangerous and

that’s where insulin comes in.

FAT

28

pancreas creates insulin which grabs excess glucose and stores it as fat. This is also the

main reason diabetics tend to be overweight. Insulin forces your body to store more fat.

Since the way you’ve been eating has caused your cells to be chronically covered in fat.

Your pancreas had to produce an excess amount of Insulin day after day. Over time this

wore out your pancreas as it was never designed to make that much Insulin.

If you’re thinking that it’s also caused by how much sugar we eat these days, I can tell

you that humans used to eat a lot more sugar in pre-historic times. But we’ll get to that

in the next chapter.

So insulin shots are not the answer. Not only are they expensive, you can never match

the quality of your own hormone system in maintaining natural Insulin levels. So over

time this leads to many complications.

Glucose Stored As Fat

CELL

Insulin Function

The body releases Insulin to get rid of

excess glucose in the bloodstream.

Without Insulin your body would go

into shock.

While taking Insulin injections does

help that body from the damage

caused by high blood sugar, it doesn’t

address the underlining cause.

FAT

Insulin

29

What your body needs is the proper diet that doesn’t coat the cells with fat. And no,

this doesn’t mean a low fat diet. But we’ll get into the optimal diet in the solution part of

this book in the following chapter.

2. Your Liver, Pancreas and Diabetes

Your liver receives 30% of your blood circulating in your system, every minute. It’s your

very own chemical plant, helping to remove harmful toxins and distribute and store

essential nutrients for your body. But what role does your liver play in diabetes?

Actually... A lot!

Your liver’s role in diabetes is the most ignored by doctors. In fact I bet you didn’t know

that your liver plays a bigger role in leveling your blood sugar, than your pancreas.

Your liver can not only remove a tremendous amount of excess glucose from your

bloodstream, it can also add it if it gets too low.

In fact, it’s 100 times more effective at regulating your blood sugar than insulin.

Ultimately the amount of sugar you have stored in your body, could help restore your

blood sugar levels without ever reaching for your insulin.

It does this with a hormone called IFG or Insulin Like Growth hormone. This hormone

helps regulate your blood sugar levels. It really is your body’s natural way of keeping the

sugar level in your blood around 100.

Whenever your sugar level starts dropping lower than 100, your body sends signals

from the brain to the liver telling it your blood sugar is low. Your liver than gathers up

sugar from one of two sources in the body and fills your blood with sugar to maintain a

level around 100.

30

To find sugar your liver will first look for any glycogen or stored sugar. Stored sugar can

be found in muscles in the body or even the liver itself. If you do not have any stored

sugar, your liver will turn to fat in your body and convert it into sugar. This is your

body’s way of holding onto sugar, so it can be used fast, in case of an emergency like

shock or if you are fasting. Ideally we all want our liver to use the fat in our bodies to get

sugar.

Which brings me to the second function of the liver. As I stated before, the true cause

of diabetes has a lot to do with high levels of fat lipids in the blood. If your liver isn’t

functioning properly, it won’t be able to do its job of removing fat from the blood. Your

liver does so many amazing things that it’s too much to cover here.

So how do you use your liver to help cure your diabetes? Well surprisingly all you have

to do is improve your liver’s function by 20%. That’s it! By improving the liver by 20%

you will help take stress of the pancreas, making it easier for your cells in your body to

absorb and use sugar properly. In the next section, I’ll show you how to restore your

livers proper functioning so it not only creates more IGF but also cleanses your blood of

excess fat lipids.

3. Poor Food Quality

High-calorie, low-nutrition food is available everywhere, and it’s cheap. Healthy food is

less available and more expensive. High-sugar breakfast cereals and high-fat fast foods

are marketed heavily to children, so kids learn unhealthy eating before they even get to

school. This isn’t real food and none of us should be eating it.

Yet, even if you eat lots of fruits and vegetables, the quality of today’s food is much

worst then it was only a few decades ago.

31

A landmark study comparing the nutritional content of 43 different fruits and vegetables

in 1950 and 1999 was published in 2004 in the Journal of the American College of

Nutrition.

The results showed quite definitively that the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus,

iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C have declined substantially over the past half

century. The study authors attributed this decline in nutritional content to agricultural

practices designed to improve food qualities such as size, growth rate, pest resistance

rather than nutrition.

According to the World Watch Institute, farmers today can grow two to three times as

much grain, fruit, and vegetables on a plot of land as they could 50 years ago, but that

food contains 10 to 25 percent less iron, zinc, protein, calcium, vitamin C, and other

nutrients. In simple terms, you would have to eat eight oranges today to derive the

same amount of Vitamin A as our grandparents would have gotten from one.

In the next few chapters, I’ll show you how to find high quality food so you give your

body all the nutrients it need to fight of any disease.

4. Environmental Factors

There is growing scientific evidence that environmental chemicals can contribute to the

development of diabetes. Scientists have shown that certain drugs and chemicals can

induce diabetes in animals in laboratory studies.

Here are just a few of the environmental chemicals with links to diabetes:

Air Pollution

Arsenic

32

Bisphenol A (BPA)

Flame Retardants

Heavy Metals

Microbial toxins

Nitrate and Nitrite

Organotins

Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs)

Persistent Organic Pollutants

Pesticides

Phthalates

Radiation

Solvents and TCE

In today’s world it is near impossible to avoid all exposure to chemicals in the

environment. But we can do a lot to limit our exposure and help our body eliminate any

toxins it absorbs.

5. Being Overweight

Diabetes is directly connected to being overweight, especially fat around the middle.

Fat cells contribute to diabetes in two ways.

First, fat cells create hormones that interfere with insulin and keep it from working

properly. Second and more importantly, excess body fat leads to higher blood fat levels.

As we learned earlier, this is the root cause of diabetes.

So it’s important that that we drop some pounds. Unfortunately, physical activity is

getting harder to do. We used to walk to work and do physical labor once we got there.

33

We would entertain ourselves with games and sports. Now we drive to work or school,

sit at a desk or stand at a counter all day, drive home, and watch TV. Most of us don’t

even get the activity of walking to a bus. As one teacher told me, “Kids used to play

basketball. Now they play video basketball.”

But don’t worry, once you fix the underlying problem, your body won’t need to produce

constant insulin anymore. And that’s the main reason we gain weight.

So now you know the main causes of diabetes. But how do you fix all this? Easy… by

following Diabetes Free!

In the next chapter we’ll go into Diabetes Free, and show you how to change a few

lifestyle factors and cleanse and nourish your body to work better than new!

Genetics

Before I end this chapter, I want to make one thing clear. Diabetes is not caused by your

genetics. Genetics take thousands of years to change. People’s genes have not

changed in the last 30 years, but that’s exactly how quickly the diabetes epidemic has

come about. Also, in diabetes studies with twins, why is there cases where only one twin

develops diabetes?

What’s changed is our environment. We have lived with more stress, are food has

gotten much worst and we are all exposed to thousands of chemicals that have never

even been tested for safety.

34

So the next time you hear someone on the news say the cause of a disease is genetics,

remind yourself that most chronic diseases have only been around for the last century

or so. Nowhere near what it will take for genes to play a factor.

Reversing Diabetes

in 14 Days

Diabetes Free is an easy to understand system which will free you from diabetes forever!

Here’s a quick overview of the 3 parts of the system and how they address the root

cause of diabetes and restore your body to perfect health.

Step 1: Cleanse Your Body

Your liver plays two very important function of your body to help regulate blood sugar

and remove toxins from your body. In this first step, you’ll use a special cleanse to

detox your liver and restore it back to normal.

Step 2: The Diabetes Diet & Shake

The Diabetes Diet is simple. We’ve broken down the diet into easy to understand

guidelines so you can’t go wrong. And don’t worry, you can still eat all the foods you

love. You just have to eat them at certain times.

Plus, at the end of the book, we give you some delicious recipes that are packed with

nutrient-rich ingredients that will make your diabetes a thing of the past. These recipes

are easy to make and great for the whole family.

37

We’ll also show you how to use the powerful Diabetes Cure Shake to boost your Insulin

Like Growth Factor (IGF) levels and normalize your blood sugar.

You’ll get a complete list of ingredients and step by step instructions to make this

revolutionary drink.

Step 3: Visualize Healing

Finally, we’ll show you how to use your mind to create changes at the cellular level. We

all know our minds are powerful things, but did you know that just thinking and

believing healthy things can help heal your body?

This “natural healing power” uses visualization to program your mind to heal your body.

You will progressively feeling better and better as you watch your blood sugar level

return to normal.

Diabetes Free is an easy 3 step system that will have you feeling like you’re in your 20’s.

Follow the 3 steps and you’ll be on the right track to a diabetes-free life. Once you start

seeing results, remember to send us a testimonial of how the system worked for you.

What are you waiting for? Let’s get you started!

38

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT STOP TAKING YOUR MEDICATION OR INSULIN.

CHECK YOUR BLOOD SUGAR OFTEN AND WORK WITH YOUR DOCTOR TO

ADJUST THE DOSAGE OF YOUR MEDICATION OVER TIME.

Before undergoing any new treatment it’s always a good idea to visit your doctor to get

a clean bill of health. I recommend basic blood work to look for anything serious.

Having said that, there are a few things to keep in mind before you get started.

If you’re like most diabetics, you probably check your blood sugar before each meal.

Once you start Diabetes Free, you’ll have to start checking your blood sugar more often.

I recommend before and after each meal. So 6 times per day.

If you haven’t already switched, there are new testing meters on the market that don’t

require pricking your finger. Instead, you prick yourself on your forearm which is far less

sensitive to pain. Another option is a prick free meter such as the GlucoTrack, but

these can be expensive.

I know how painful pricking your finger can be, but with Diabetes Free you will find a

drop in your blood sugar and you’ll need to make adjustments accordingly. This is

especially true if you’re taking insulin.

You’ll have to work with your doctor to adjust your insulin levels and prescription drugs

as your blood sugar begins to drop. Thankfully, you won’t have to worry about this too

long as you’ll soon be diabetes free.

39

How To Properly Check Your Blood Sugar Levels

1. Wash and dry your hands, using warm water may help the blood flow.

2. Turn on the meter and prepare a test strip as outlined in your owner's booklet.

40

3. Choose your spot, don't check from the same finger all the time. Follow the

manufacturer's instructions to prepare the lancing device and get a drop of blood from

the side of your fingertip or other approved sites.

4. Check your blood sugar by touching and holding the test strip opening to the blood

drop until it has absorbed enough blood to begin the test.

41

5. View your test result and take the proper steps if your blood sugar is too high or low,

based on your healthcare professionals' recommendations.

6. Discard the used lancet properly.

42

7. Record the results in a logbook, hold them in the meter's memory or download to a

computer so you can review and analyze them later.

Cleansing Toxins

From Your Body

You may or may not know this, but environmental factors such as toxins contribute to

the current diabetes epidemic. These toxins cause all sorts of health problems and

they’re in everything. And in today’s modern society, it’s next to impossible to avoid all

of them.

This is where we need to talk about your liver. Your liver plays a very important role in

the function of your body. In fact, it plays many vital roles. But for now I just want to

focus on its job of clearing the body of toxins. From there we’ll cover some cleanses I

recommend to clean the liver and restore its optimal functioning. Finally, I’ll go over

toxins you need to avoid once your liver is clean.

Toxins & Diabetes

Each year the toxic burden in our air, food and water, and thus our bodies, grows higher

than ever before. Companies manufacture 6.5 trillion pounds of 9,000 different

chemicals each year. And the same companies release over 7 billion pounds of 650+

different pollutants into the atmosphere and water.

An increasing amount of evidence has linked exposure to toxins with both obesity and

diabetes. There are several mechanisms involved. Environmental toxins:

44

Interfere with glucose and cholesterol metabolism and induce insulin resistance;

Disrupt mitochondrial function;

Cause oxidative stress;

Promote inflammation;

Alter thyroid metabolism; and,

Impair appetite regulation.

There are probably other mechanisms that we don’t yet understand. But the ones I listed

above are certainly enough to explain the link between toxins and diabetes.

The most obvious first step is to remove all food toxins from your diet. This means

ditching processed and refined foods, industrial seed oils, and high fructose corn syrup,

as well as anything on labels you can’t pronounce.

The second step is to take steps to reduce your exposure to chemicals at home. This

means choosing non-toxic household cleaning, bath, beauty and hygiene products. I’ll

talk about this more in the next section.

Finally, you want to support the body’s natural detoxification capacity so you can

effectively deal with the toxins you do get exposed to. This is a crucial step, because no

matter how careful we are, there’s no way to completely avoid toxins.

I’ll share a simple Detox Program targeted to support healthy liver function. Once you

clean your liver you’ll see significant improvements in your blood sugar levels.

45

What to Avoid

Like we mentioned before, your liver is your body’s chemical plant, removing damaging

toxins from the body. But if your liver is slow and not working at its best, then your liver

can’t eliminate toxins and regular your blood sugar.

There are several factors that cause damage to the liver. Below is a list of things you

need to avoid that are harming your liver:

1. Toxic Food

Process foods are loaded with additives, preservatives, artificial sweeteners and

flavorings that are all toxic to your liver.

Meat is especially high in toxics as most farm animals eat toxic food that accumulates

toxins in their bodies.

Even fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides. Choose fresh organic foods

preferably from a local farmer.

Another major factor is just not eating enough fruits and vegetables, the foods we were

designed to eat. Eating too much meat, dairy and grains taxes the liver.

Lastly, avoid anything that is GMO or Genetically Modified Food. Think about this, every

study funded by the companies that make GMO’s say it’s totally safe, every study

independently funded report that GMO’s are extremely toxic, cause cancer and diabetes.

You decide.

46

2. Harsh Cleaning Supplies

Cleaning your house is a chore that needs to be done. But most of your cleaning

supplies are full of harsh chemicals. These chemicals may make your kitchen or

bathroom shine, but at what cost? Did you know that unlike food, beverages and

personal care products, cleaning products are not required by law to list their

ingredients? Even if the chemicals in the bottles cause skin rash, asthma or even cancer,

they don’t need to tell you. Scary, right?! So why not switch to all-natural cleaning

supplies. The ingredients are usually well know and easy to pronounce such as vinegar,

lemon and baking soda.

This also includes air fresheners which are filled with toxic chemicals

3. Chemical Beauty Products

Have you ever really looked at the ingredients in your everyday lotion, soap, makeup,

perfume or shampoo? I bet you can’t pronounce most of the ingredients in them. If you

can barely understand what you are reading, imagine what these chemicals are doing to

your body. Everything that you put on your skin, gets absorbed into your bloodstream

and spreads throughout your body. There are tons of all natural products out there,

which contain readable ingredients that are good for you. From now on use only natural

soap, detergent and moisturizer, etc.

4. Solvents

Repainting the kids’ bedrooms? We all know to open the windows, but it’s getting easier

(and cheaper) to find paints that don’t incite the miserable nausea and headaches to

47

begin with. Many major brands now offer “eco” lines that contain low or no VOCs, the

compounds that tend to overwhelm. Other independent companies offer even cleaner,

more natural alternatives in the way of paint, stain and even indoor primers. They’re

worth checking out, especially for the kids.

5. Plastic

Most of us know by now to avoid toxic, BPA-ridden plastic beverage bottles, plastic food

storage ware, plastic wrap and resealable (or zipper-lock) food storage bags. (If you

didn’t know that, now you do!) Plastic is everywhere, so you can’t avoid it altogether.

But you can limit your exposure. It’s a bit too much to get into for this book, but a quick

search on Google will give you easy ways you can reduce your plastic use.

6. Dirty Water

Tap water is loaded with chemicals. In addition to chemicals the city adds such as

chlorine and fluoride, most tap water contains prescription drug residue that that city

can’t clean out.

Got chlorine in your water? Most likely, since it’s commonly used in municipal water

treatment programs. Once that chlorine comes out in the fine, hot spray of your

morning shower, there’s concern about breathing it in day after day. Quick fix? Buy a

simple shower filter, which usually go for about $30-45.

Choose distilled water and drink lots of it throughout the day. In fact, most people are

chronically dehydrated. Skip all other drinks, and just drink water. It’s the world’s best

solvent and will help clear your body from toxins. You should aim for clear urination.

48

7. Prescription Drugs

Prescription or over the counter medication is one of the biggest ways to damage your

liver. This includes common medications such as Tylenol. Your liver breaks down all

substances that are taken by the mouth. The more medication you take, the more

damage to your liver. If you take prescription drugs, especially in excess you can cause

mild to complete liver failure. There are plenty of natural alternatives that don’t harm

your liver but are just as effective if not more. Ask our support team about our newest

book “Drug Freedom.”

8. Smoking & Alcohol

Drinking alcohol, especially excessive drinking is the most common cause of liver

damage. Drinking alcohol decreases the liver’s ability to remove toxins from the body.

When at all possible avoid consuming alcohol, or limit yourself to a couple of glasses

per week.

Smoking is not only bad for your lungs and overall health, it affects your liver directly.

The toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke eventually makes its way to the liver and can

cause all sorts of liver damage. The best option is to quit smoking all together. Your

body and your family will love you for it!

9. Poor Sleep

If you don’t get enough sleep or are sleep deprived you can cause your liver to process

fat inefficiently which allows fat to accumulate, causing all sorts of health problems such

49

as obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Always aim for 6 – 8 hours of sleep per night.

10. Bad Air Quality

Let’s face it. We can’t control every molecule of air in our home. Regular dusting and

sweeping/vacuuming can help. But the best way is to add more plants. NASA has been

researching the power of common plants for years. Plants are particularly well suited for

processing the benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene in our indoor

environments. Here’s a few of the more common winners: English ivy, snake plants,

spider plants, peace lily, and golden pathos.

Liver Cleanse

This one day liver cleanse is very helpful at cleaning the liver of toxic and harmful

chemicals. It’s best to start your cleanse the night before a free day. You want to be able

to rest the full next day. If you work a 5 day week (Monday to Friday) we recommend

you start on Friday night or Saturday night.

If you are currently taking any medications you may skip the cleanse. Instead add

a pinch of Epsom salt to your water and drink with each meal. Although this may

delay the results, it will still cleanse your liver over a slower period of time.

IMPORTANT: Before starting this cleanse, you need to soften the toxins in your liver

using Malic Acid. It’s a cheap supplement you can find at any health food store. Take

1000mg 2x a day for 5 days before the cleanse.

50

Also, make sure to avoid any fatty foods for those 2 – 3 days. We are aiming to clear the

liver of toxins and don’t want fat blocking the liver from a full cleanse.

Liver Cleanse Drink

Ingredients:

½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 big grapefruit (may substitute with 3

lemons)

4 tablespoons of Epsom salts

3 cups water (distilled is preferred)

1 mason jar or 1 cup with lid

1 pint sized cup

Instructions:

On the day of, eat a light, no-fat breakfast and lunch. Preferably fruits and vegetables.

2:00pm – Do not drink or eat anything after 2:00pm. If you do you could feel ill. Take

the 3 cups of water and the 4 tablespoons of Espom salts. Mix together into a jar. This

will make four servings – four ¾ cups. If you prefer a cold drink, you can place the jar

into the refrigerator until cold.

6:00pm – Drink one serving (¾ cup). You may rinse your mouth out with some water

afterwards or take 2 – 3 sips of water. Some people like to use a straw to avoid the

taste.

51

8:00pm – Drink another serving (¾ cup). This is a great time to get any bedtime chores

done as we want to have your next drink and in bed around 10:00pm.

9:45pm – Pour ½ cup of Extra Virgin olive oil into a jar or cup with a lid. Then squeeze

the grapefruit by hand into a measuring cup. You should have approximately ½ cup of

grapefruit juice. Remove any pulp with a fork. If you have more than ½ cup, that is fine.

Add the grapefruit juice to the jar. Seal the lid and shake until watery.

Make sure to visit the bathroom one or more times prior to drinking the grapefruit

mixture. Take your time, although make sure to drink the whole mixture by no later than

10:15pm. Remember to be fully ready for bed prior to drinking the grapefruit mixture.

10:00pm – Drink the grapefruit and olive oil mixture.

After you have finished the drink, lie down immediately. Best results come from lying

on your back and having your head propped up slightly for comfort. Try to stay still for

20 minutes. This is a good time to relax and fall asleep.

~ overnight ~

Next morning – When you wake up (any time after 6:00am) drink the third serving (¾

cup) of the Epsom salt mixture. If you have any indigestion or nausea wait until it passes

before drinking the mixture. We recommend going back to bed to avoid eating or

drinking anything.

2 hours later – Drink the remainder of the Epsom salt mixture (¾ cup). You may go

back to bed if you would like, or you may prefer to lie down on the couch.

Another 2 hours later – You may begin to eat. We recommend to start with fresh fruit

juice. Than half an hour later eat a piece of fruit. One hour later you can start eating

52

regular food, but try to keep it light.

Results You Can Expect

During the morning and perhaps

the afternoon, you will have a

number of bowel movements.

You will see gallstones in the

toilet. There may be dozens to

hundreds of stones that means it

worked.

Around supper time you should start to feel like a new person. Your body and mind will

feel refreshed and happy. You need to repeat this cleanse once per month until you no

longer eliminate any stones. Then you’ll know that your liver is completely clear.

In the next chapter we’ll find out how to strengthen the pancreas and boost IGF levels.

53

Chapter

6 The Diabetes Diet

This is probably the most controversial chapter in the book. It flies in the face of

everything we were taught in school about nutrition. It took me over 15 years to

discover what you’re about to learn. And even though it’s very different than anything

you’ve heard before… I can assure you it’s the TRUTH!

As you’ll soon realize, our modern diet is so far from what humans were meant to eat,

I’m surprised there’s not more sickness in the world. Thank God for our miraculous

bodies which can deal with the punishment we cause to ourselves though improper

eating.

In this chapter we will show you what to eat to help cure your diabetes, free toxins and

give your body the nutrients you really need.

Our Natural Diet

Many, many years ago, our great ancestors led a very different life. Although our

digestive systems haven’t evolved much since then, it is important to note that our diets

have changed tremendously. In this section we will explore how this affects all of us and

explain the true cause of diabetes.

Many of us picture early man chasing animals and slaughtering them for food, then

sitting around a campfire cooking meat with sticks. But is this true? Did ancient man

eat a diet primarily of meat?

54

Before I answer that, remember what we learned in the previous chapters. Could it be

that the meat industry has pushed this scenario on us?

If you look at unbiased research and use logical thought, you’ll quickly realize that

thousands of years ago, people ate very little meat.

Let’s imagine for a second that you’ve traveled back in time thousands of years and

you’re dropped in the middle of a field. How likely is it that you would catch an animal?

Remember you don’t have any fancy weapons.

Okay, let’s say you have a spear and you’re pretty good at using it. Well, even

experienced hunters using old techniques have a very difficult time catching prey. On

top of that you’d have to find something sharp to cut the meat and then build a fire.

Unless, of course, the thought of ripping open a little bunny with your bare hands and

eating it to the bone with blood and other bodily fluids gushing all over you sounds

enjoyable. An animal designed to eat meat wouldn’t hesitate, so why should you?

Because that would be wrong ~ right?

Let’s do an experiment. Put a plate of raw meat and a plate of bananas in front of a

young child or baby. Which one do you think it would eat based on pure instinct?

Definitely the bananas.

It is my belief that if we were responsible for catching and killing animals for food, the

majority of us would never eat meat again. The thought of killing another being is

repulsive to most of us. Thank goodness!

In fact, I think the evidence is very clear that humans were not designed to eat meat.

You see, unlike animals that prey on and catch other animals for food, our teeth weren’t

designed to eat meat. Animals, such as tigers, have very sharp pointy teeth to rip

55

through skin, we don’t. Our teeth are basically flat ~ designed to chew or pulverize our

food.

The acid levels in meat-eating animals are much higher than humans which allow them

to digest flesh. They can even manufacture their own Vitamin C ~ something that

humans need to get from the food they eat.

Also, animals that eat meat have very short digestive systems and even have stomachs

designed for eating old meat that has been left out for days. Try doing that with a piece

of uncooked chicken.

If you were to do a little research, you would find there are a vast number of differences

between natural carnivores (meat-eaters) and humans; such as…

Humans Carnivores

Teeth Short and sharp Flat and spade-shaped teeth

Chewing Extensive chewing necessary None, swallows food whole

Tongue Smooth tongues Rough tongues

Saliva Carbohydrate digesting enzymes No digestive enzymes

Arteries Clog Yes. Low tolerance for fat No. Thrive on high fat

Nails Flattened Nails Sharp Claws

Sweat Sweat from pores Sweat from the tongue only

Sleep Sleep 33% of day Sleep 80% of day

Stomach Acidity with food pH 4-5 Acidity with food pH 1

56

Small

Intestine

Small intestine 10-11 times body

length

Small intestine 3-6 times body

length

Colon Long, sacculated Simple, short and smooth

Liver Cannot detoxify vitamin A Can detoxify vitamin A

Vitamin C Required from food sources Make their own vitamin C

Eating Habit Repulsed by raw, old meat Love raw meat, even days old

Legs 2 4

If we did it eat meat, we ate very little of it. Usually, it was scrapes left over from other

animals. But when we found it, we ate it all at once, since it’s a high calorie food that

goes bad. We’ll get to why this is important later in the book.

In addition to not eating much meat, early man probably didn’t consume dairy products.

Think about it, if you can’t catch the cow, it’s going to be very unlikely that you’re going

to be able to drink its milk.

Did you know that humans are the only animals that consume milk after weaning?

Moreover, humans do not drink human milk, but drink the milk of other species, and do

so commonly throughout their adult lives. Does that sound natural to you?

What about grains? Do you think early man ate wheat, rice, oats, or rye? Not likely. In

their natural state, humans cannot chew or digest grains. Grain-eaters (usually birds)

have a pouch in their throats, where grains sit and germinate, thereby making them

digestible. Humans cannot digest grains in their raw state.

What else is left? Vegetables, right? Yes, most likely.

57

However they only ate raw vegetables, and since vegetables do not have many calories,

there would not be enough substance in an all-vegetable diet.

Also, can you imagine a life of just eating vegetables all day? Especially with no dipping

sauce or dressing ~ talk about bland!

I know what you may be thinking. You need meat, dairy and grains to be healthy...my

goodness, they’re major food groups!

But wait...remember what we learned in the last chapter. There’s the real truth and then

there is truth for profit.

So what did early man eat? What did they naturally gravitate towards?

Before I get to that, let’s talk about the qualities and characteristics of our ideal food.

Our ideal food would…

taste great raw and unseasoned

be easy to digest by humans

be easy to find and obtain

nourish our body and supply it with enough vitamins and other nutrients

required to live

and have enough calories (especially in the form of simple sugars) that our

bodies crave and need.

So what food satisfies all of the above?

There has been extensive research by scientists studying fossils of early man, specifically

their teeth, to get an idea of what they ate and surprisingly this is what they found.

58

They ate a diet of almost entirely fruit!

When you research the preferences of animals that have the closest genetics to humans

~ the Bonobo chimpanzee ~ you will find too that their diet consists almost entirely of

fruit.

While this might shock you ~ it does make sense and here’s why.

1. Nutritionally, fruit comes closer to satisfying all of our needs than any other food.

2. Fruit tastes great raw, especially when it is ripe

3. Fruit requires no preparation and is ready to eat in its natural state.

4. Fruit digests faster than any other food

5. Fruit satisfies our desire for sweet tastes and smells

6. When ripe, fruits convert carbohydrates into glucose and fructose ~ simple

sugars our bodies can use immediately without further digestion.

7. Fruit sugar or fructose requires no insulin for it to enter our cells. Your body can

use it right away.

8. Fruit enzymes convert proteins into amino acids and fats into fatty acids which

are essential for life and energy for your body to move, think, talk, breathe,

produce body heat, and everything else your body needs to do to survive.

9. Fruit is colorful and easy to find ~ just walk up to a tree and pluck it from a

branch. In fact, once fruit is ready to eat, it falls to the ground. (No slaughtering

necessary!)

59

10. Your brain is powered by guess what, simply sugars, fruit is the perfect food.

There’s even a lot of evidence to support our brains rapidly developed when we

started eating fruit and since we’ve stopped, they’ve been slowly shrinking.

This may shock you, but by every indication, our digestive physiology was designed to

process the soft, water-soluble fibers in fruits and tender leaves, almost exclusively.

So what does this mean to you?

Does this mean that if you want to succeed with Diabetes Free you can no longer eat

anything else but fruit?

Not at all. But it’s important you understand this so you can understand the next

section.

Fat/Sugar Balance

As we learned in the previous section, early humans ate mostly fruit. And because they

weren’t eating any fats, the sugar in fruits was easily digested and absorbed into the

cells without the need of insulin. So even though they ate way more sugar than we do

now, their pancreas wasn’t overworked and they stayed diabetes free.

Although once in a while, when they did eat some meat, or find some calorie rich

avocados, they stopped eating fruit. For one, meat would spoil, so they had to eat it

right away. They didn’t have a refrigerator. And two, these types of foods were very

rare, so when they found them that’s all they ate until they ran out.

60

Here’s the key. They only ate sugar or fat. Never both together. Although there was

some overlap, this is where insulin’s real purpose kicked in.

Industrial Farming

You might be thinking, “Diabetes didn’t really exist 100 years ago and they didn’t just

eat fruit and meat?” That’s true, but people back then ate a lot better than we do and

were generally a lot healthier. They weren’t exposed to chemicals and didn’t eat

processed foods. Let’s see how industrial farming and the food industry changed all

that.

Meat

The way cattle is raised has changed tremendously in the last 50 years. Back then,

animals were raised on small farms and ate the food God intended for them. Cows

roamed large fields and ate their natural food ~ grass. They were healthy, strong and

very lean on fat. Not only that, their fat is much different than it is today.

Grass feed cows have fat in a 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to 3. Today’s commercial farmed

cattle have a ratio of 20:1. Why is that important? Omega 6 fats are the fats that coat

your cells and make it near impossible for them to absorb blood sugars. Whereas

omega 3 fats are free flowing and clear the blood of this stickiness.

Plus, since commercially farmed animals are cooped up in a cage and eat unnatural

food, they’re all sick. So they inject them with a constant stream of antibiotics. Not to

mention growth hormones they use to make them bigger and fatter, which is faster for

profits. All this leads to problems for diabetics. If you choose to eat meat, pick grass fed,

61

organic meats.

Dairy

Did you know diary is basically full of fat and

sugar? It’s true, and it’s the reason why we say

No to dairy in the Diabetes Diet. Milk is one of

the worst things people can drink. I personally

don’t believe that we are meant to drink

another animal’s milk. I mean if you really think

about what other animal drinks another animal’s milk? None!

It’s naïve to think that cow’s milk is doing anything by harm to our bodies. Not to

mention the amount of fat that’s found in milk is astonishing. 2% milk has

approximately 35% of fat in it. That’s down right disgusting. And what’s more disturbing

is the type of fat that milk contains. Most of it is saturated fat, which is the fat that’s

been linked to high cholesterol levels and insulin resistance. Milk is something we

should eliminate in our diets, for good.

But what about other dairy products – like yogurt, cheese and ice cream? Well these are

a no-no also. Yogurt, sour cream and ice cream are all products high in fat. Cheese is

basically just fat and should never be touched. Most of these products take about 70%

of their calories from fat. That’s a lot!

What about all the non-fat cheeses, milks, yogurts etc.? Well, if you take all the fat out of

these products (and let’s be honest, can you really take all the fat out of something?),

your basically left with sugar! Everyone knows the word “lactose” and usually associate it

with lactose intolerant. But do you know what lactose is? It’s basically dairy’s sugar!

Lactose can be broken down into two smaller sugars, glucose and galacose. These

62

account for 55% of fat-free milk. People who are lactose intolerant have a hard time

digesting the sugar that’s in the dairy. This is because the enzymes used to digest

lactose are inefficient or lacking. Therefore the lactose from dairy passes through the

intestinal track undigested. It makes its way to the lower intestinal track where bacteria

starts to flourish on the unbroken down sugars. This causes all sorts of stomach upset,

such as: abdominal cramps, gas and diarrhea.

While on the Diabetes Diet we recommend you stay away from diary all together.

Instead try unsweetened soy milk, hemp milk, rice milk or almond milk. All these yummy

and healthy options are available at most supermarkets or health food stores.

Grains

The problem with grains is that our bodies have

difficulty digesting them, as our digestive systems

weren’t designed to eat them. In fact, we only started

eating them about 10,000 years ago according to

researchers. On top of that, the grains we eat today

are far worse then what they ate then. By the time we

eat them, most grains have been...

Stripped of most of their nutrients

Sprayed with toxic pesticides

Surrounded by fertilizer made primarily out of crude oil and since crops cannot

utilize these synthetic minerals properly so much of our produce is nutrient

deficient like the soil

Irradiated which kills any remaining life in them, essentially making them dead

food

63

Some crops such as corn are grown from heavily genetically modified seeds

which have been linked to numerous health issues.

And that’s not all. Once they’re harvested, instead of using stone mills like they used to,

they use high speed metal presses that grind everything to a fine power. This flour

causes our blood sugar to spike really quickly and requires our body to produce much

more insulin than it used to.

Vegetables

As mentioned earlier in this chapter, potassium is something your body needs. And will

usually crave sugar when this nutrient is lacking. Potassium is needed to help store

sugar cells in the body. For every sugar molecule that needs to be stored, your body

needs one potassium molecule. So feeding your sugary cravings, when your body really

needs potassium, will only cause your blood sugar levels to rise and do nothing to help

balance out your insulin levels.

With the Diabetes Diet, we recommend consuming all the vegetables you can get your

hands on. Vegetables, especially dark green vegetables are high in potassium and

should be consumed on a daily basis. The following are great potassium rich vegetables

that are easily found in your supermarket:

Tomatoes

Spinach

Swiss Chard

Mushrooms

Sweet Potatoes

Kale

64

Brussels sprouts

Zucchini

Green Beans

Asparagus

To incorporate these potassium-rich vegetables into your Diabetes Diet, try consuming

a salad or two a day. Or make a veggies smoothie for lunch or a snack. Later in the

chapter we’ll give you some nutrient-rich recipes to help make it easy for you stay on

the Diabetes Diet.

Fruits

Fruits use to be picked off the tree and eaten ripe. They were delicious. Now with the

rise in globalization. Fruit is picked weeks in advanced, unripe, so it won’t go bad in

transport. This does 3 things:

1. Fruit taste worse every year because most fruits can’t properly ripen after they are

picked. An exception is bananas.

2. Fruit picked early lacks all the nutrients ripe fruit contains

3. Finally, unripe fruit isn’t finished developing so its sugars haven’t converted to

fructose. Instead it’s still stored as glucose. And that causes a bigger problem for

your blood sugar levels.

65

The Diabetes Diet

The Diabetes Diet has been designed to help reduce your diabetes and promote healthy

liver functions. The following are guidelines which you should follow. It’s important to

stay on top of this diet, as we are trying to enrich your body with the nourishment it

needs to be insulin-free.

Remember if you have any questions about the Diabetes Diet, feel free to email our

support team at support@DiabetesFree.org. Our team is always here to help with

any questions you may have.

Diabetes Free Food Plate

As you learned in Chapter 5, it’s critically important that you don’t eat sugar and fat at

the same time. Remember, all carbohydrates are converted to simple sugars in

digestion.

Below is a list of foods that will help you make the right choices. There is an Orange

Food List and Red Food List. These foods CANNOT BE EATEN TOGETHER. Items in the

black list cannot not be eaten at all since they contain both carbohydrates and fat.

With the majority of your plate being vegetables both raw and cooked. Once you’ve

restored you’re liver and pancreas, you can move to the maintenance phase with far

fewer dietary restrictions.

Remember These Rules:

Eat as much non-starchy vegetables as you want throughout the day. They are a

free food on this diet. You can eat them anytime you want. Just as long as you

don’t use fats such as oil or butter near a high carbohydrate meal.

Ideally, 75% of your plate should be vegetables. It’s not necessary, but it will go a

long way to making you healthy.

At each meal, select either a red or orange food, not both. Eating both will make

your blood sugar shoot up. If you eat a fatty meat, only consume vegetables for

the rest of evening and no fruit/carbs. If you decide on grains, make sure your

meal is fat free.

Fruit is best eaten on its own, in the morning.

Wait at least 12 hours after a fatty meal, for some you may need to wait as much

as 72 hours for the fat to clear your blood.

Because it takes so long for fats to clear your system, we recommend you eat

mostly the high protein meals

If you choose a high carbohydrate meal, use an oil free salad dressing.

Healing The

Pancreas &

Boosting IGF

As you learned in the previous chapter, cleansing the liver will restore its proper function

and help it produce more IGF. This in turn will lower your blood sugar levels. To

enhance this effect and heal the pancreas, we need to use the power of some medicinal

herbs.

My research team and I have spent countless hours testing thousands of formulas.

What we discovered is nothing short of revolutionary. Let’s look at the individual

ingredients of our formula to understand its true potential.

Diabetes Free Powder

The follow ingredients are used in Diabetes Free Powder and most of them can be

found at a local Traditional Chinese Medicinal store. Others are easily found at almost

any supermarket. If you have trouble finding any of these locally, they are readily found

for purchase on the internet. Remember, organic is best if you can afford it.

Healing With Your

Mind

In the past decade or so, hundreds of studies have been conducted that demonstrate

the powerful connection between mind and body. While Napoleon Hill figured it out

many years ago, many scientists now believe that what you think about actually shapes

your life.

For example, if you’re constantly thinking about needing to take insulin in order to

balance out your blood sugar levels, your mind will automatically agree. Causing you to

always reach for your insulin.

In landmark studies, Dr. Bruce Lipton proved that your mind can affect the cells of your

body and even your DNA. It goes on to explain how our expectations and desires can

affect our bodies ability to fight illnesses and heal itself.

Now how do you use this “natural power” to heal your diabetes? Let’s find out.

Is Your Subconscious Keeping You Diabetic?

Each and every one of us has an image of ourselves in our subconscious mind. Your

current self-image was built and shaped by interpretations and evaluations you place on

past experiences.

For example, let’s just say that at some time in your past, someone may have mentioned

that diabetes runs in your family. Now regardless of whether you were at a higher risk to

77

get diabetes, you may have started thinking that you were. You may have imagined

yourself being diabetic. This may be something that you consciously or subconsciously

remember and play it out in your mind.

My point is that it isn’t the actual experience that shapes your self-image but the act of

imagining yourself in a certain way that affects your self-image. Your mind and body

react to your internal self-image. So, if your self-image is of a diabetic, your body will do

everything it can to make that true.

As I’ve said earlier, current scientific research actually shows that your mind affects the

cells of your body and even your DNA. So if your self-image is diabetic, your cells will

actually slow down or stop producing insulin. Your self-image has a powerful effect on

your body.

In order to be diabetes free, you need to change your self-image. Luckily, there’s an easy

way to do this.

21 Day Visualization Exercises

The mind is a powerful thing to waste. It can do so much for us and very few of us

actually use its power to shape our self-image and to create perfect health.

The first thing to do is to get a clear image in your mind’s eye of what it would feel like

to be diabetes free ~ the ideal you.

Begin by imagining yourself completely free of diabetes. Free of insulin shots and

medication. Eating all the foods you love.

78

I promise you, if you give this an honest effort, you’ll be so thrilled with the results, and

you’ll choose to continue using this tool for the rest of your life.

We have purposefully asked you to challenge yourself for three weeks, as research has

proven that it takes 21 days to make a substantial change to your self-image.

As I’ve said before, your current self-image was created by your imagination. So, we can

use this same method to create a new self-image where you enjoy your perfect healthy

body.

This is especially important if you have Type 1 diabetes. For example, if you’ve had

diabetes since birth it’s most likely caused by genetics. As far as I know, this is the only

way to reliably change your genetics. With enough dedication and these exercises you

can change your DNA so you’re no longer diabetic.

Remember, all you have to do is sit back and relax and imagine yourself as you wish to

be. Here’s how...

Grab a piece of paper and write a brief description of the image that you

intend to view in your mind. This will be the movie you will play over in

your mind.

Every day, find a quiet place to relax and where you won’t be disturbed.

Now close your eyes and begin playing the movie you wrote down in

your mind for at least 20 minutes.

For the first 7 days, refine your movie to picture your body exactly as you

desire it to be. Then, for the remaining 14 days, play this exact movie in

your mind over and over again.

TIP

Here are some tips to make this visualization technique

more effective:

Most people find that they get better results if they imagine

themselves sitting at a theater and watching themselves as the star

character in the movie on the big screen.

It’s important to make your mental movie of yourself as vivid and

detailed as possible to simulate actual experiences. For example,

instead of just picturing your body being healthy, imagine yourself

excited as the doctor tells you you’re diabetes free. Imagine your

pancreas and its cells working properly again. . Imagine how you

would feel to be diabetes free.

Pay attention to small details. The more detailed, the more your

subconscious will believe it to be an actual experience. Make sure

to use all your senses.

It’s important to see yourself as you want to be, it doesn’t matter

where your health is today. You need to have faith in this exercise.

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT STOP TAKING YOUR MEDICATION OR INSULIN.

CHECK YOUR BLOOD SUGAR OFTEN AND WORK WITH YOUR DOCTOR TO

ADJUST THE DOSAGE OF YOUR MEDICATION OVER TIME.

Before undergoing any new treatment it’s always a good idea to visit your doctor to get

a clean bill of health. I recommend basic blood work to look for anything serious.

Having said that, there are a few things to keep in mind before you get started.

If you’re like most diabetes, you probably check your blood sugar before each meal.

Once you start Diabetes Free, you’ll have to start checking your blood sugar more often.

I recommend before and after each meal. So 6 times per day.

If you haven’t already switched, there are new testing meters on the market that don’t

require pricking your finger. Instead, you prick yourself on your forearm which is far less

sensitive to pain. Another option is a prick free meter such as the GlucoTrack, but these

can be expensive.

I know how painful pricking your finger can be, but with Diabetes Free you will find a

drop in your blood sugar and you’ll need to make adjustments accordingly. This is

especially true if you’re taking insulin.

You’ll have to work with your doctor to adjust your insulin levels and prescription drugs

as your blood sugar begins to drop. Thankfully, you won’t have to worry about this too

long as you’ll soon be diabetes free.

10 Recipes

As you move forward with Diabetes Free, it is vital that you

have a small number of recipes so that you can become

healthy and still eat great. It’s always easier to stick to a new

eating plan when your meals are more satisfying.

You can try something new every day, week or month. Start

adding these easy, mouth-watering food recipes and watch for fantastic results.

Go Organic

Whenever possible, buy organic fruits and vegetables. According to a new $25-million

study into organic food - the largest of its kind to date - organic food is more nutritious

than ordinary produce and it may help to lengthen people’s lives and prevent disease.

The study found that organic fruit and vegetables have up to 50% more antioxidants,

which scientists believe can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease. They also have

more vitamins and minerals such as iron and zinc. Not to mention that the taste of

organic fruits and vegetables is often superior to any conventional produce.

85

The Fat/Sugar Ratio

As you learned in Chapter 6, it’s critically important that you don’t eat sugar and fat at

the same time. Foods in the Orange Food List and Red Food List CANNOT BE EATEN

TOGETHER. With the majority of your plate being vegetables both raw and cooked.

Once you’ve restored you’re liver and pancreas, you can move to the maintenance

phase with far fewer dietary restrictions.

Remember These Rules:

Eat as much vegetables as you want throughout the day. Just as long as you

don’t use fats such as oil or butter near a high carbohydrate meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long do I stay on the Diabetes Free Diet?

A: The diabetes diet should be followed until your blood sugar stabilizes. You should

try to eat this way long term. After using the herbs for some time, your body will better

tolerate mixed meals and you’ll be able to incorporate more of them.

Q: I can’t find all the Chinese Herbs for the Diabetes Free Powder. Is it okay to only

use the herbs I can find?

A: Yes, it is ok to use only some of the herbs. However results will be slower. We are

currently working with suppliers to make the herbs easily available to our

customers. This will be available in the updated version of this book.

Q: Once I complete the 14 day diet, is there a maintenance plan that I can follow?

A: Ideally, you’ll follow this diet indefinitely. Mixing carbs and fats causes all sorts of

problems. Having said that, the longer you stay on the herbs the better your body will

be able to tolerate mixed meals. You can incorporate more and more if your body

responds well.

Q: When I do the liver cleanse, you say not to eat food for a day. What do I do

about my blood sugar levels?

115

A: If you’re blood sugar gets low throughout the day, you can drink some pure apple

juice. The malic acid in the apple juice will help further soften the stones and raise your

blood sugar.

Q: On the day of the cleanse it says not to take any medication. Does that include

my diabetes medication?

A: Ideally, you would not take any medication that day. Having said that, you MUST talk

to your doctor about taking a day off your medication. DO NOT stop your medication

without your doctor’s approval.

Q: I’m having trouble finding malic acid. Local health food stores have magnesium

plus malic acid. Is this OK?

A: It’s best to use pure malic acid. If you cannot locate pure malic acid, please use the

link below:

http://www.amazon.com/L-D-Carlson-Company-MA_1LB-Malic-Acid/dp/B0064GZB58

Q: How long do I stay on the Diabetes Free Diet and drink the shakes?

A: Here is what we recommend:

For pre-diabetics: 15 days to 3 months

For moderate to advanced Type 2: 3 to 6 months

For advanced Type 2 or Type 1: 6 months to a year

116

Q : How do I get started on the Diabetes Free Diet?

A: Here is the process:

1. Start with the liver cleanse. Continue doing them once per month until you don’t

pass any stones.

2. After the first liver cleanse, start the diet and the herbs. Here is the herb schedule:

For pre-diabetics: 15 days to 3 months

For moderate to advanced Type 2: 3 to 6 months

For advanced Type 2 or Type 1: 6 months to a year

3. Continue the diet until your blood sugar stabilizes. After that, you can incorporate

some mixed meals and see how your body responds. The longer you’re on the herbs the

better your body will tolerate mixed meals.
