I recently saw a controversial video clip about an experimental treatment/cure for diabetes. In the video the people who were involved ate only 100 percent raw food for one month (no alcohol either). There were six participants to beging with.

Because of the diet, two of the participants dropped out because they could not "handle" eating that way. Of the remaining four, every single one of them did not have any symptoms of diabetes when the 30 days was over. The person who was making the clip said that they had been cured of the disease as long as they remain on the diet.

I am not saying this information is true and correct. Not at all. But I am wondering *if* it were. How many of you would be willing to eat this way for the rest of your life in exchange for not being diabetic any longer? We all know that diabetes causes a LOT of other damage to the body,(neurological damage, damage to eyesight), and that diabetics have a higher risk for heart disease, kidney failure, etc.

Do you think, that if you could be guaranteed to never have to face these illnesses due to your diabetes that you could live the rest of your life eating only raw food? (I also believe that they cut down on dairy products as well, but I cannot remember for certain).

I would love to hear your opinion and input. Thanks.

You are talking about type 2 diabetes, right?

If you simply drop 10 lbs with Diabetes 2, it can dissapear. So eating only raw foods peobably cleanses everything out of your body. It can happen, but always keep a check on it.
