This Diabetes Diet is a cure for Type 2 diabetes. The cause of diabetes is the removal of essential fats and oils from our food, and their replacement with toxic substitutes. The cure is to consume natural versions.

If you change your diet, you will only stick with it if you believe the evidence and experience the benefits. For that reason you should see the extensive research that resulted in the book The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, PhD. This is the most important book you can buy that answers the question: "What should my diet be?" It is not based on opinion, but on observation and measurement of a huge population.

The China Study correlated reduction of fat with a reduction of Type 2 diabetes, and it's recommendation was that you reduce your consumption of fat to improve diabetes.

I don't know what type of fats and oils the Chinese Study was based on, but I would suspect the toxic versions so pervasive in modern society. I believe this because there are fats that are essential for health, and must be obtained from our food; you must not stop your consumption of these fats. If the fats and oils you consume are toxic, you should expect an improvement when you stop consuming them, and that may be what was seen in The China Study.

I am not dismissing The China Study; it is one of the most important books you can read. I am merely pointing out possible limitations. You can cure your diabetes by modifying your fat and oil consumption as described on the fats and oils page, but if you want to promote good health all around, take a lesson from The China Study and change your diet. The conclusion of this massive study is this:

"Eat a whole foods, plant-based diet, while minimizing the consumption of refined foods, added salt and added fats." Eliminate all animal-based products, but don't obsess over it. If a dish contains a small amount of meat, the quantity very likely will be nutritionally unimportant. Benefits were shown to increase as meat consumption decreased, even when the percentage declined from 10% to 0%.

The concept of the Diabetes Diet is simple: Stop consuming toxic fats and oils, and start consuming the non-toxic natural essential versions. This is also the means of prevention for diabetes. Follow the recommendations on the fats and oils page. As a recommendation for an all-around good diet that will also prevent cancer, see the nutrition for immunity page of Hidden-Cancer-Cures.com.

I would start by consuming my essential fatty acids (EFAs) in the form of Flax oil. It will act as a solvent, dispersing deposits of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol which accumulate and make platelets sticky. It provides a fast way to make up for long term omega-3 deficiency. Take about a dozen 250 mL bottles of flax over a period of a few months. This works out to about 1 tablespoon twice a day. Optimum level is about 1 tablespoon per 50 pounds body weight per day. I would not consume other oils until I was seeing results. Taking only flax oil for a long period of time (1 to 2 years) may make you omega-6 deficient because it contains 4 times omega-3 to omega-6.

If you take too much oil, your liver will not be able to handle it and you will feel nauseous. If you take more, you will throw up. It would be good to start out slowly and work your way up. Start out as slowly as necessary, even a drop, even a whiff, but start. The oils are essential. Your liver may not be able to handle it due to EFA deficiency.

You can put the oil in fruit, vegetables, grains, and proteins. It can be put in hot and cold dishes, you can boil with oil, even the most sensitive oils; 212° F won't damage it. But don't fry with it.

Flax oil has the highest source of omega-3, while safflower oil has the highest source of omega-6. Hemp oil contains an ideal balanced ratio of three to one of omega-6 to omega-3 for long term use. Udo's Choice is a balanced blend of flax and other oils that may be the best balanced source of EFAs. It is made by Flora, Inc., a quality manufacturer.

An optimum dose of linoleic acid (omega-6) is in the order of 9 to 18 grams per day (half an ounce or 1 tablespoon). An optimum dose of alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) is in the order of 1/5 to 1/2 of linoleic acid (1 or 2 teaspoons per day). Stated another way, it has been suggested that 3 to 6% of calories should be omega-6, 2% as omega 3, and the combined total of EFAs at least 1/3 of the total fat consumed. If you have dry skin, take more oil. If you are getting enough EFAs, it should feel soft and velvety. Requirements can vary dramatically from person to person, and need to be determined by yourself from experience.

For optimal health, other essential nutrients are required to make the EFAs work:
20 or 21 minerals
13 vitamins
8 amino acids (10 for children, 11 for premature infants)

I would stay away from all processed food. Any food with the word "hydrogenated" on the label must be avoided, and if it has "oil" and isn't refrigerated, consider it toxic.

Any food with oil in it such as nuts and seeds should not be rancid or roasted, and should hopefully come out of the refrigerated section of your health food store.

The commercial feeds given to farm animals must contain EFAs in order for the eggs, chicken, and meat to contain them. Otherwise, they will contain insufficient EFAs for optimal human health. But EFAs are removed from artificial man-made feeds in order to increase shelf life, so don't count on animal food to supply your EFAs.

Diet Suggestions

Minimize your consumption of simple refined carbohydrates that metabolize quickly and produce a spike in blood sugar. Generally, anything that has been processed should be avoided. These include:

• Soft drinks
• White rice
• Pastries
• Cookies
• Cakes
• Jams
• White bread
• Cereals
• French fries

Maximize your consumption of carbohydrates that digest gradually, These include:

• Whole grains or whole grain bread (oat, millet, quinoa, barley, spelt, bulgur, wheat, rice ...; you can buy these in bulk at your local health food store, and cook them)
• Legumes (lentils, chick peas, beans ... )
• Nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ... ). Buy them raw, unsalted, unprocessed. They contain oils.
• Vegetables (celery, tomato, avocado, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, onion, squash, cucumber, radish ... ). Especially include green leafy vegetables (spinach, collard greens, red leaf lettuce, ... but avoid berg lettuce; it's not very nutritious).
• Fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, ... )

Consume a high-fiber diet; this slows down the release of sugar into the blood stream.

Instead of using butter, consider dipping your bread in fresh unrefined oil such as olive, flax, hemp, or other oil. This habit, common in the Mediterranean area, does away with the need for hydrogenation to make spreads. Or, use a squeeze bottle and pour the oil onto the bread. It is just like melted butter.

Controlling Your Blood Sugar

In addition, you must control your blood sugar so that you do not cause your body damage. It may be a good idea to consult your health care provider. If you want a recommendation for one:

The Wolfe Clinic - Consultations
For a one-time fee of $95, after your initial consultation with Dr. Wolfe, you can call him any time you have a health concern or question. It means "lifetime" follow-up support with a health program tailored to meet your specific and very personal needs. Where's the catch?  While his site doesn't say so, I would speculate that he makes money on the products he sells.  Tell him Hidden-Diabetes-Cures sent you and receive a 10% discount for your consultation.

Choose foods with a low glycemic index. Do not use food exchanges which are useful for controlling calories, but not sugar.

Exercise is useful for glucose disposal.

Consider using herbs such as gymnema sylvestre (see below) to keep your blood sugar low. Also consider using cinnamon. See the products below.
 

Today's drugs are manufactured by removing the active ingredients from herbs, and leaving behind the wisdom. The result creates unpleasant side effects. If you are looking for alternatives to drugs, check out the following traditional herbal products:

• ActiveHerb Technology, Inc. - Yinvive  and Yanvive
In recent years, Chinese doctors have found that YinVive (and YanVive) are very effective in treating Type 2 diabetes. In multiple controlled human clinical trials, YinVive was reported consistently effective in over 90% of patients; their blood sugar levels returned to normal. The treatment is at least as good as the standard treatment with western medicines. Use Yinvive or Yanvive, depending on your condition.

• AbsolutelyThePurest.com has several products useful for controlling blood sugar.

• Absolutely The Purest.com - Gymnema Sylvestre
Not only does it appear to increase the number of beta cells, gymnema sylvestre is successful in controlling blood sugar without reducing it below normal levels. It has been used in India for 2,000 years to treat diabetes.  It also abolishes the taste of sugar, which effectively suppresses and neutralizes the craving for sweets. It blocks intestinal absorption of sugar and passes it through the system. The Hindi name for Gymnema is Gurmar, the "destroyer of sugar".

• AbsolutelyThePurest.com - Triphala, King of Medicines
Here is a popular ayurvedic herbal formula from India, a compound of three herbs that is considered to destroy all diseases, eliminate all waste from the body, and promote tissue growth and health.  It is used to treat diabetes, and others including digestive diseases, urinary diseases, skin diseases, parasitic infections, heart diseases, irregular fevers, flatulence, constipation, ulcers, vomiting, colic pain and hemorrhoids. If taken after meals it prevents imbalance of any of the humors due to bad food or drink. It promotes wisdom, intellect and eyesight. There are no problems in long term use of Triphala. Take a larger dose for use as a laxative, a smaller dose for gradual blood purification; adjust according to one's bowel movements.
