I have had type 2 diabetes since 1980s. This year my doctor doubled my medication and said if this didn't work I would have to go onto insulin. Since I am a truck driver, that is not an option. I looked into raw food and decided to give it a try. The surprise is I LOVE THE FOOD! I am still learning and adapting, but my blood sugar came down from 332 in January without meds to 114 this week without meds for 3 days! I eat a huge salad every day and usually a green juice, but they almost always have fruit and fats. This myth about fats being bad is just that! I eat at least one avocado a day and my middle is disappearing! We use a recipe program that shows us exactly what nutrients we are getting, including B12 from nutritional yeast and other B vitamins from bee pollen. My breakfast usually consists of a smoothie made of bananas, nut butter, molasses, nutritional yeast, bee pollen, ground raw cacao and filtered water. It tastes amazing and keeps me full for hours of unloading freight! My doctor is elated and my test results are: a 40 point drop in cholesterol, drop in A1C, perfect blood pressure, a 25 lb. weight loss, I no longer have any allergies or asthma, my bunyon fell off, I no longer take joint supplements, and it has only been since mid-february '09! I now want to exercise! My energy level is through the roof! I say if you want to have no energy, be dependent on prescription or other drugs, and generally feel lousy all the time... then raw foods is not for you. Otherwise, why would you not try it? Take the 3 day challenge! Eat all raw for 3 days, just 3 days! If you aren't already feeling better and reducing your blood sugar medication because you are testing low (diabetics) then just go back to your non-nutritive, low fuel diet! Maybe you reject natural enzymes or something. And to say, the food is not good, oh please... There are a million recipes online to try. The key is to get variety, eat lots of dark leafy greens, and find a way to see that it is balanced. Have fun and eat well for yourself and the world in general! Eat organic Eat local Eat it RAW!
