How to reverse disease — raw for 30 days
© Peter Clark
Cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other illnesses are on the increase, in a BIG way. Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans are diabetic or pre-diabetic (that’s 62 million Americans).
And the increase of Type 2 diabetes among children is particularly alarming.
Can part of the problem be traced to the food we eat? You bet…
If you’ve ever seen the movie Super Size Me, you’re already aware of the effect of eating junk for 30 days.
So what would happen if you took a handful of diabetics and got them to follow a whole, raw, live foods diet for 30 days?
Well, here’s what would happen…
You can see how difficult it is for folks to change their ways. I’m sure you’ve experienced this yourself, even with much less radical changes to your diet or lifestyle.
I like the guy at 2.23 — a typical response to trying to eat healthy when you’re used to a high fat Western diet! :-)
The results are announced at around 4 mins 50 secs in, and they’re both astounding and heart-warming, to say the least.
Most physicians simply wouldn’t believe it was possible to reverse diabetes through diet alone. You’d be amazed at how few physicians — at a fundamental level — connect nutrition with health and your body’s ability to heal.
The American Diabetes Association says…
“Diabetes is a chronic disease that has no cure.”
Watch the video above and judge for yourself…
It’s an inspiring video and I particularly love one line from it, from one of the participants:
“I don’t see why the doctors don’t know about this.”
That says it all…
If the idea of going “all raw” feels like a bridge too far, the Habit Guide diet could be just what you’re looking for. It’s a way of getting lots of raw fruits and vegetables into your diet while staying socially acceptable.
It won’t challenge your beliefs about food, cause a heavy healing crisis or take you out of your comfort zone. It’s a diet that gets results.
All the best,

Thanks you for that great film and message on eating right and healthy. I’d truly loved that presentation on film. Thank you, Thank you.
I’m a pharmacist and a herbalist. I trained to be a herbalist specifically because most natural therapists DO understand that diet affects who we are. Sadly we often have difficulty convincing our clients to change their diet and this is partly because we do not get the support from the medical profession who seem to think we’re all weirdos. People also need support socially – and that’s way to hard for their friends because if they support their friend to make changes it means they need to look at their own diets.
Great point Linda. In fact, worse than that, people will often attempt to sabotage your efforts to bring you back in line with where they are. As in: ‘Will you have a slice of chocolate cake? Ah, go on. Go on go on go on… Ah, you will. Ah, go on… (etc).’ I think you’re spot on. It’s a really important point.
The problem with the benefits of eating a healthy diet is that the effect isn’t instant. I’ve seen folks suddenly think ‘Right, I’m going to be healthy’, eat a cart load of fruit, get the runs and decide it wasn’t for them after all (!)
Have you seen the Raw for 30 Days homepage? They have a new 2 DVD set called Raw For Life which can be ordered from their site. It’s a how to dvd set about being raw for people from all different levels.
I love the bit where one guy says “This works, this works… that other crap don’t work” and the bit at the end where they’re on top of the mountain dancing–brought a tear to my eye :-)
