Hi,

I've had type 1 for 35 years.  the last 81/2 years, I've been eating a 100% raw vegan diet.  it brought my insulin levels way down, initially down to 25u/day, but they have crept up over the years.  I now take 35-40u/day, still way below the 75u/day when I was eating burgers and fries! 

Raw foods also reversed two complications I was experiencing.  one was gastroperisis, the other was microaneurysms on my retinas.  I experienced several other health improvements, as well.  It really is a remarkable way to eat, and you feel just wonderful eating this way.  But, you have to learn to be completely self-sufficient around food, and I know that is too much for many people.  It's too bad, because the benefits are so amazing.  And, for a type 2, Gabriel Cousens has shown that it will completely get them off their meds.  What is not stated until you see the video, though, is it gets them off not just the diabetes meds, but many of their other meds as well!  It's about taking control of your health and allowing your body to be in it's natural state, which is one of health rather than one of disease.  What people put in their mouths is what is causing so much illness in the world!

anyway, in case anyone reading this lives near Petaluma, CA (northern CA), I will be making a presentation about this very topic on May 1st.  the link with directions is below.  Scroll down to see the talk description and my bio.  Thank you! - christian mastor
