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

Reading this book and doing what the man says has reversed my type 2 DIABETES. If you follow what is not very hard considering we are talking about one's healthe here, you too can have the results i have had. BG around 12-13 now never above 6.0 Weight 22+ stone now 17.5 and going down. What more is there to say? BRILLIANT I even bought a copy and gave it to my doctor/nurse who has read it and passed it on to other paitents of hers. What more do you want?

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 bought this book for my mum who has been recently diagnosed with diabetes and had a very high blood glucose levels. She heard about this book from another patient and was keen to give it a go. She has been on this new lifestyle for over a month now and her blood glucose hasn't gone above 6 considering she already reduced significantly the dose of her current medication. Although she snacks a lot during the day, she has lost weight and feels really good.
She was feeling a bit concerned initially that this new lifestyle would take away from her the fun of eating out with friends, however Dr Barnard recommends certain meals from the most popular cuisines, so we've been able to enjoy meals out with her without feeling isolated or left out.
My mum has adapted a lot of the meals and is following the principles from Dr Barnard's cook book to suit her taste. She is also discovering a lot of new foods she hadn't tried before and is quite inventive in preparing her own food. She still cooks for all of us,however doesn't show any interest in eating or even tasting the "wrong" foods.
As the results from Dr Barnard's eating habits are observed very quickly, that is such a strong motivator for my mum that she is doing the right thing and will be able to stop medication eventually altogether!
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to take control of their illness through nutritional changes. It really works!
