Cured and off medications
Dr. Fuhrman Cures Diabetes
"When one eats a diet predominating in nature's perfect foods -- green vegetables, beans, eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, garlic, raw nuts and seeds, and limited amount of fresh fruit, it becomes relatively easy for people to eat as much as they want and still lose weight relatively quickly. This includes lots of great tasting food, great recipes, but no oil, butter, cheese, flour, or sweets. My experience has demonstrated that those choosing to follow my nutritional recommendation have their diabetes melt away astonishingly fast even before they have lost most of their excess weight." ~ Dr. Joel Fuhrman

Cure diabetes
by Mark Yannone
Clearly, the biggest obstacle to a healthful diet is psychological, not medical, and the psychological hurdle stems largely from long-term habit. A 40-year sugar habit translates to at least 15,000 reward experiments, with your brain telling you 15,000 times, "Excellent choice! That tastes great!" That's powerful programming.
As someone who has been so hungry that rolled up notebook paper dipped in ink tasted great, I can tell you that hunger is your key to appreciating the foods you should be eating to cure your diabetes. Given a choice between red cabbage and apple pie, I would choose apple pie. But given a choice between red cabbage and water, I would be dreaming about red cabbage in high-definition Technicolor, and anything else I could find to eat.
Use your hunger as a tool to overcome your programming, and use your brain to discover new ways to enjoy a whole new world of food. Good news! The hard work has already been done for you.

Trace arsenic in water may be linked with diabetes
by Carla K. Johnson
Associated Press
[Extract] A new analysis of government data is the first to link low-level arsenic exposure, possibly from drinking water, with Type 2 diabetes, researchers say. The study's limitations make more research necessary [to establish causality]. Still, the analysis of 788 adults' medical tests found a nearly fourfold increase in the risk of diabetes in people with low arsenic concentrations in their urine compared to people with even lower levels.

The massive power of hormones
Progesterone, Pregnenolone, and DHEA
Three Youth-Associated Hormones
by Raymond Peat, MA, PhD
[Excerpt] Diabetes can be produced experimentally by certain poisons which kill the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Rabbits were experimentally made diabetic, and when treated with DHEA their diabetes was cured. It was found that the insulin-producing cells had regenerated. Many people with diabetes have used brewer's yeast and DHEA to improve their sugar metabolism. In diabetes, very little sugar enters the cells, so fatigue is a problem. DHEA stimulates cells to absorb sugar and to burn it, so it increases our general energy level and helps to prevent obesity. [Important: Read the entire report.]
