My doctor has also …
My doctor has also asked me to follow a low-fat vegan diet to control my Type II diabetes – he actually said that ‘control’ is the wrong word – that if I follow this diet it will cure the diabetes. I’m so excited – I’m starting in 2 weeks (the hospital has a 2 week program starting then to teach me all about it!).

here is a smart doctor who actually helps people not to control diabetes or take drugs but to reverse diabetes and improve several facets of their health as a result.

I was recently …
I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Alternative health minded allopath told me to eat no fruits or whole grains. I did not agree and searched on my own and my research and books like there is a cure for diabetes by cousens convinced me to go vegan and start walking daily. I did eat a pretty good whole foods diet and loved meat and cheese and eggs but I went vegan and am eating 30-85% raw and hope to improve that. Gave up all junk and fast food and buffets.

I hope it works as hard as it may be, it is better than losing vision, leg, I, vision and heart to diabetes and an early death. I had some readings in the 400, 500 and 600s. Vegan foods are really tasty and the internet is loaded with great recipes. I am glad the word is getting out. I have lost 22 pounds so far.

I’m not trying to …
I’m not trying to tell people what to do, just saying what worked for me and just agreeing with the doc on the video. Believe it or not, it goes both ways. I’ve had people criticize me as a vegan, and I’ve had people criticize me for not following a vegan diet. Unfortunately, there are people out there who swing so far to the left or right that if you sneeze they complain.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Well, if you’re …
Well, if you’re saying it worked specifically for you, I believe you.
As long as you’re not trying to tell me it’s the only way to go and that I’m an idiot for not following you blindly. I apologize if I was hostile, but I cannot tell you how many vegans are nazis over how I conduct my own diet. Some of them tell me insulin causes cancer on everybody, while others say even more outlandish crap.

You dont know me so …
You dont know me so you have no idea how much money, how many medical docs, holistic docs, how many quacks / non-quacks that Ive dealt with over the past few years. I cannot speak for others, but I can and was giving my own personal experience and I stand by my word that a vegan diet is the only thing that worked for me. If you think Im suspicious, sorry.

In my case, I am …
In my case, I am allergic to most meds they give you for diabetes and the ones I could tolerate caused worse side effects than the actual illness and none of the meds lowered my blood sugar to the normal range. Insulin lowered my blood sugar some, but not all the way, either. I was told a few months ago that my problems are not stemming from the pancreas/liver/spleen so it could prove dangerous or even fatal for me to use insulin. My under treated thyroid is part of my problem.

That’s rather odd. …
That’s rather odd. Since insulin usually works on alot of people I’ve run across, it’s hard to believe someone who just happens to say insulin never worked on them.
Something smells suspicious here.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
I just wanted to …
I just wanted to say that I personally am a diabetic and have ONLY been able to lower my blood sugar back to normal when I follow a vegan diet. Insulin, medication, holistic herbs and various other treatments have NEVER lowered my blood sugar which has gone as high as 600. The doctor on this report is not wrong so whether he’s featured on Fox news or on a late night cable channel, who cares if his treatment works.

MysteryAC, this …
MysteryAC, this story has nothing to do with what FOX news asks you to believe. It’s a report of what a cardiologist thinks.
I agree though about FOX news. For me they have a strong political bias. And I do not like that.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Yet whenever you …
Yet whenever you claim to have a miracle cure, you’re always telling the truth. Gee, that’s a little biased.
Besides, I can’t believe you’re standing behind Fox news. They’ve actually said that flashlights cause cancer at one point.
You have to be an idiot to believe them.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:05 pm

MysteryAC we both know you are lying.

Wow. You actually …
Wow. You actually listen to Fox news? Are you serious? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
A former step cousin I knew had type 2 diabetes, so his doctor recommended him to a full vegan diet.
Well, let’s just say he died shortly after, due to malnutrition and a weakened immune system. So I’m not bothering with this load of crap. If this was true, he would still be alive.

This video is …
This video is amazing. I am so happy to see a Dr. get featured on his local news for recommending a vegan diet, and even going to far as to recommend foods in their most natural and healthy state: raw. Meat causes/exacerbates so many diseases. We could write a book explaining all of this to the haters, but what’s the point? The info is out there, if they want it, they’ll get it. Clue for you haters – read The China Study.

BRAVO to dr. …
BRAVO to dr. montomery & to his patients. i eat ‘raw’ and i am healthier now in retirement than i was my entire life. i am so happy to see there is an MD who is recommending this way of eating. thank you. friends who have also switched also have benefitted and have become far healthier.

For all people: …
For all people: Please don’t listen to those 3 comments under my comment. There is a huge anti vegetarian and anti vegan movement, that’s why this physician can’t even use the terms vegan or vegetarian, because he would chase people away with it. The reason for this is that patients listen to the slander from the medical industry, which stands behind the anti veggy movement. They make billions from people being sick so they don’t want you to eat healthy food. Don’t listen to them. Live vegan.

To all you people …
To all you people who gave me thumbs down, I’d like to hear the logic behind that. “Um…ok, so I have this serious condition which could kill me, so I’m gonna combat it by…NOT EATING the foods that DON’T cause it !” . Yeah, that makes a whole lotta sense. It’s like not wearing sunscreen so that your teeth won’t fall out. As if they’re somehow connected.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
No shit. I watched …
No shit. I watched this and was like “Uh, what ?!”. Saying a vegan diet is gonna help you with diabetes doesn’t make a whole lotta sense. Animal products (meats, eggs etc) contain no carbohydrates, so they’re much gentler to your blood sugar, they don’t cause insulin spikes and high blood sugar , which is the main cause of type II diabetes to begin with. This video is so random …
October 6th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
this is strange. …
this is strange. When it comes to diabetes, the one thing that is the biggest enemy is carbohydrates. All plants contain carbohydrates. Now, on the other hand, the majority of mostly all meat products contain zero carbohydrates. Veggies are good and meats are bad? It seems contradictory to me.

I wish with all my heart that my mother would try this. Her bias however, prevents her from even entertaining the idea. She insists I’m pushing my beliefs on her, but she’s never even known that type 2 can be reversed. I know many type 2 diabetics, and unfortunately, that’s the mindset they mostly have. They just try to manage it. My mom figures if she has a disease she should be as happy as she can and eat what she wants, even if the pleasure is short-lived. I think she’d be happier, healthier.

Does anyone know …
Does anyone know how I can get a copy of this report on my computer without using youtube? My mother in law would like to see this but she doesn’t have internet at her home. I’d really appreciate if anyone has an mpeg version.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
So many studies …
So many studies have shown this to be true… thank you so much for sharing! I sent it straight to my step-dad who has type 2 diabetes… I really hope he listens to this!

this is sooooo …
this is sooooo true i told my mother about going vegan because her sugar level is 140 and she is not a vegan she eat meat…. so i told her to go on a vegan diet because my sugar level is an 93 and i eat a lots of sweet way more then she does….my cholesterol went down even more to 101 and i eat a lots of fry food.!!!
