Did you know that it's estimated that 370 Million people worldwide have
some form of diabetes... and a whopping 60 Million Americans are walking
around with prediabetes, and most of them don't even know that they
have it. Now that's a full blown epidemic that should have us all
concerned.
Why has this become such a growing problem in recent years?
Well,
the main reason is that we've become of world of carb addicts. There's
other factors too...less exercise, the chemical burden that we are
exposed too, etc...but the main reason is the massive excess of carbs
that comprises most people's diet.
We've gone from our
hunter-gatherer ancestors (with an ancestral diet high in protein,
healthy fats, and low to moderate carbs from fruits and veggies) into a
modern day world of carbohydrates everywhere we look. And I'm not just
talking about the refined "bad carbs" that everybody talks about...
sugar, corn syrup, refined flour, etc.
I'm also talking about the
so-called "good carbs" that the food industry wants you to think are
"healthy"... In fact, that "whole grain" bread and cereal that you've
been brainwashed into thinking is healthy has actually been proven to
raise blood sugar levels even higher than refined sugar many times
(depending on the type of grain with wheat being one of the worst).
This
constant assault on your pancreas to produce insulin in response to all
of these "whole grains" that everybody loads into their body on a daily
basis not only causes insulin resistance over time, but also added
weight (particularly in the abdomen from chronically high insulin),
higher triglyceride levels, and eventual type 2 diabetes.
I'm
always shocked (and a bit saddened) when I see that most people don't
realize that type 2 diabetes can be 100% completely reversed through
diet changes and exercise. It's as if our entire world is brainwashed
to think that drugs are the only answer. I've even talked to actual
doctors that don't even understand that type 2 diabetes can be reversed
without drugs. It's almost as if they've forgotten fundamental
biochemistry of the body. Let's just think about it logically for a
second...
Type 2 diabetes is 100% caused by poor diet over years
and years, and can be 100% reversed by a good diet along with
exercise. Very simply... do the opposite of what caused the diabetes,
and you will reverse it.
It's so shocking to me that even many doctors today don't realize this obvious connection.
Even
if you watch the popular TV show, "The Biggest Loser", you'll see that
so many of the contestants on that show start the season with full blown
type 2 diabetes, and when the season is over, they are 100% cured of
their diabetes, simply because they lost most of their body weight and
changed their lifestyle.
Does the entire medical establishment
purposely turn a blind eye to all of these case studies where people
completely reverse their diabetes through proper nutrition and exercise,
without drugs? Do they do this on purpose to sell more diabetes
drugs? I would hope not, but I'm not so certain of that.
Unfortunately,
diabetes drugs actually make matters worse, because they only mask the
immediate problem of blood sugar control, but never fix the underlying
metabolic problems, which is insulin sensitivity and healing your
pancreas. I've been reading one of the best books on this topic lately,
called The 30-Day Diabetes Cure,
by Dr. Stephan Ripich, and it's a phenomenal book if you want the
easiest, fastest, most natural way to completely reverse type 2 diabetes
while also getting slimmer at that same time.
Dr Ripich points
out in his book that just mindlessly lowering blood sugar with drugs
isn't the same as HEALING your diabetes. In fact, it actually makes
matter WORSE, because you still end up still eating the wrong foods that
continue to assault your beta-cells in your pancreas, causing further
damage. With drugs, you end up "watching your numbers" all the time and
taking drugs, but your diabetes continues to worsen relentlessly.
To
make matters worse, Dr Ripich points out many studies in his book that
correlate diabetes drugs to increased rates of death, and increased
rates of heart attacks. Obviously, taking diabetes drugs is not the
solution to type 2 diabetes... the solution is to permanently change the
way you eat, and also permanently change your lifestyle, and you can
easily reverse diabetes over time, and save your life.
Dr Ripich also has dozens of case studies in his book, The 30-Day Diabetes Cure,
which proves that his approach to nutrition can indeed 100% cure (yes,
CURE) your diabetes. I'm terribly saddened that so many people think
diabetes is a lifetime sentence of blood sugar monitoring, dangerous
drugs, and crippling complications... it's NOT! It just takes YOU to
start changing your lifestyle and your food intake, and it WILL reverse
itself.
You can watch Dr Ripich's video below about how his
solution works and his case studies that have totally reversed their
diabetes in only 30 days with his plan:

you're already convinced about trying out Dr Ripich's 30-day Diabetes
Cure plan, and don't need to watch his video describing case studies,

I'll
be talking more about blood sugar control in upcoming newsletters as
it's a hot topic and one I've been putting a lot of research into
lately.
