Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs

Disappointed, in a nutshell, he is saying be a Vegan and eat LOADS OF CARBS!! it will spike the sugar

Zwar stört mich immer bei Ernährungsempfehlungen das etwas extreme: tu etwas nie! tu es immer! Aber davon mal abgesehen ist dieses Buch eine wundervolle Beschreibung der richtigen menschlichen Ernährung, nicht nur für Diabetiker. Ich selbst bin Ernährungsberaterin und habe trotzdem noch Zusammenhänge erfahren, die mir neu waren. Er beschreibt die biochemischen Vorgänge im Körper so anschaulich, dass es jeder versteht. Wer halbwegs Englisch kann, der wird keine Probleme haben, das Buch zu lesen. Es ist kein Fachchinesisch. Viele Aha - Erlebnisse warten hier auf den Leser. Und : es wird endlich mal mit diesem Low Carb Blödsinn aufgeräumt!!! Das hier ist meine erste Rezension, aber dieses Buch verdient es, dass hier mehr Meinungen stehen.

My best friend was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two months ago and I've researched tons of books, web sites and other information about this condition in order to help him. Unfortunately, official medicine seem uninterested in healing people with diabetes (both types), other than keeping their sugar levels low with medications in attempt to prolong their life. It seems that nothing has changed in treating this condition since the times when my grandfather had it. As a result of such "treatment" patients only further develop their insulin resistance (with type 2) and require more and more different medicines over time. I have not heard stories of people being completely healed by such drugs, quite on contrary, there are plenty of unfortunate stories of people losing sight, kidneys, limbs and even dying. At the same time there is a simple way to improve your condition by simply eliminating products that caused diabetes in the first place - all animal products including fish and dairy, refined oils, sugars, alcohol and junk food. Replace it with vegetables, quality whole carbohydrates (yes) - like brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat; exercise daily, use natural and inexpensive supplements; fast, if you can; and you will start feeling better day by day. There is no-one out there who can heal you, but yourself. And you have everything to be healthy. All you need is the right direction, and this book gives you enough information to find it. It is written by a doctor who dared to experiment and he discovered a very simple way to cure diabetes with incredibly high success level. While I would urge you not to stop there and continue your research, this book is a very good start, in fact in has everything to change your life and get you on the road to recovery. Coming back to my friend, he followed a program we developed for him, which is very similar to the one described in this book, for two months and last week his analysis came completely clean - Hemoglobin A1c 5.8, glucose 5.5. Of course it is not the reason to revert back to a previous diet, rather a motivation to go even further. If you or your friend/relative have diabetes, especially type 2, you need to buy this book and give it a try. I do hope it will work for you same way it did for my friend. It's all in your hands. UPDATE: It's been 6 months since my friend was diagnosed with diabetes and about 5 months since he adopted a diet similar to the one described in this book (I think a bit more advanced) and he is now virtually free of any symptoms - his blood sugar is always normal, and he feels less tired and in general much better than before. He only lost about 1 1/2 stone (9 kg) but considering it was done without any restrictions on food intake (he's a bit of an eater so it's hard to change) it's a good result. If you or your relatives or friends have diabetes, please buy this book and research further but most important, stop eating foods that made you ill, and you too can become diabetes-free. It's not a miracle, it's only natural to live a healthy and happy life. Good luck.

I am truly grateful for discovering this approach. An alternative approach for diabetes exists thankfully. I am a family physician and like most I believed that once you have diabetes you will land up on medicines and these will keep spiralling upwards. My dad developed diabetes a few years back and was resistant to the idea of medI cations. He did try lifestyle changes but could not sustain and finally we started medicines. Even on metformin the sugars appeared resistant. For almost 6 -8 months they remaibed stuck. As a physician I knew this meant a change in dose or drug. But as he wanted to avoid medicines we tried once again with no medications and following this book wholeheartedly. The guidance is simple to follow and you can fairly easily customise to suit the cuisine you follow. We are vegetariàns so it's slightly easier. I had to prepare weekly meal plans following these principles but using our homecooked Indian food. So you would need to get used to that some or take help from someone who knows better. The recipes in the book are more Western. Coming to the results. His blood sugars dropped over 20 points in 8 weeks with no medications. This had not happened in a few years now even with medications. He lost 5 kg of weight over the same period. He is much more conscious of what he eats now and about walking as exercise. And he just said how he feel much more energetic at age 64 and willing to take on more work. Thank you, thank you, thank you for returning his health and vitality. Giving us hope. Showing us an alternative healthier approach. I am more keen than ever to take this forward with more patients through my practice. To give diabetics hope and alternative healthier approach. And to also use diet to prevent lifestyle diseases. I am also guiding a few acquaintances on weight loss based on Dr. Barnard's program. I like that these are scientifically proven principles, there is absolutely no guilt or judgement attached. It is simple to follow, and the best part, you are never required to go hungry! Thank you for sharing this with the world. God bless!

Excellent livre, très instructif... Les médecins et chercheurs americains ont découvert le secret pour renverser le diabète, pas seulement le traiter avec les médicaments... Il faut reconnaître, qu'en France nous sommes en retard de 35 ans par rapport à leur connaissances, ou est-ce que renverser ce fléau n'intéresse pas les autorités ? Nos médecins devraient continuer à apprendre et élargir leur connaissances après leurs études à l'Université... !!! Mais les plupart se laissent couler douce... en ayant leur clientèle assurée, puisque le diabète progresse à grand pas !!! Tous les diabétiques devraient prendre connaissance du contenu de ce livre pour sauver leur vies des complications inéluctables ... Bravo pour les médecins qui oeuvrent pour sauver les vies humaines !!! Ça mériterait une bonne traduction en français !!!

Para quem tem diabetes, e para os que querem prevení-la, este livro é leitura mais que recomendada. Discute, por uma visão científica, a necessidade da mudança dos padrões alimentares, enfatizando a adoção de uma dieta vegana e natural. São colocados, de forma elucidativa, os 3 pilares do programa: excluir produtos de origem animal, sem gorduras ou óleos e de baixo índice glicêmico. Com receitas e dicas para a transição alimentar, considero uma fonte de informação indispensável para pacientes e profissionais de saúde. Embora seja em inglê, a compreensão é fácil e agradável.
