Raw Food As a Way to Reverse Diabetes Posted: 10-26-07 15:14pm
Has anyone seen the trailer for "Raw For
30 Days"? It's a documentary about six
people, with diabetes as they attempt to
reverse their diabetes through eating only
raw food.
What does everyone think of this idea? Is
it someone anyone here has tried before?
I'm just getting into this whole raw food
thing and I'd love to get some advice.
Most people in my family eventually
develop diabetes and I’d like to prevent
myself of doing the same. Does eating an
all raw diet work?
I'm a little skeptical. It's hard to
believe that you could reverse years of
damage with only 30 days of raw food.

You can lose weight and stop the
progression of diabetes. Even losing a few
pounds can help your blood sugar levels.
Eating better is never bad for you!

Sure, eating healthy will help. But do
you really think it can cure or reverse
diabetes?

I'm pretty skeptical about raw food, the
only difference between raw food and
cooked rood is that it has a small part
more nutrients... maybe you mean food
thats straight from the vine... very
healthy to eat that stuff lol I that you
have to drastically change your diet if
you and going to reverse diabetes in 30
days, maybe I'm wrong.

You have to be careful with raw food.
Make sure it is well washed. I assume you
mean just vegetables and fruit? All meats
should be well cooked. Heat will destroy
bacteria that may make you sick. Eating
healthy is highly recommended for
diabetics along with exercise. There is
no cure for diabetes, yet. But you can
keep it under good control. Test often.
A healthy lifestyle is still the best
prevention for Type 2. What type does
your family have?

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1
diabetes and has been eating a raw live
food diet for a year now. She has normal
blood sugars. She eats lots of delicious
foods. I check her urine pH multiple
times a day to keep her body balanced.
When I learned about raw foods I also
learned of the importance of the
acid/alkaline pH balance. The body's pH is
a delicate balance that needs to be
maintained through proper hydration and
nutrition. My daughter is truely a pH
miracle. If a 7 - now 8 year old can eat
all healthy foods anyone can!!! I believe
we don't have to do diabetes.

can you describe the diet she eats? I am
very interested in trying this.
Are you a type 1 diabetic? Tell me about
yourself. I looked at your profile and
there was not much information, but I
noticed your birthday is 2 days after
mine. My daughter eats an alkavorian
diet. I make a shake everyday made of
avocado and cucumber (alkalinizing) and a
pudding made of avocado, fresh almond
milk, lime, and stevia. She eats salads
with all raw ingredients including
dressing. Many different types of soups
including bean soup, sprouts, nuts, nut
butters, oils, quinoa, fish occasionally,
and much more. When you learn to prepare
raw foods it is truely amazing the list of
ingredients you use. Yesterday, I
prepared soups and used a new ingredient
in one, celery root. This particular soup
you cut up veggies, rub them with
grapeseed oil and broil them for a few
minutes. The soup had several veggies in
it my daughter would not have touched 6
months ago. Often, it is is the way you
prepare it and the seasonings.
