I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love

Diabetes in America

In the next 25 years it is expected that the number of people with diabetes will double. What that means is that our children are diabetics in training. This is the way it should be explained to the public. Diabetes cases are on the rise in a population that was not subject to this disease in previous generations.

Cost

Healthcare costs will be tripling to reach about 336 billion dollars. Pain and suffering is not figured in. The payment will be made by the up and coming generation. Over time with the recent surges in obesity rates in this country the risk of complications that effect the eyes, kidneys, and circulation will escalate. As seniors become disabled due to this condition the burden on medicare will be overwhelming.

Treatment

All the so called recent advances in the treatment of diabetes are no match for dietary intervention. All the advances that are paid for burden the healthcare system, and provide little to no relief.

Numbers

All researched data on 24 to 85 year old individuals who took part in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and National Health Interview Survey showed a trend that is going to be America’s s Archilles’ Heel.

The number of Americans with diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes will rise from 23.7 to 44,1 million. About 65 per cent of people will be either overweight or obese. Type 2 diabetes has been described as a new epidemic in the American pediatric population. Fewer than 10% of youth with type 2 diabetes are advised about diet and exercise instead of pharmacological agents.

Where to Start

In the face of this epidemic we are still not understanding that the most effective treatment is prevention. Short of that the treatment should and must include nutritional advice. This is a disease of the mouth for the most part. That is the starting and ending point. The medical community is not well informed about the power of nutritional intervention.

This is not about obesity it is about nutrition. Atherosclerosis, and poly-cystic ovarian syndrome are starting to appear in young diabetic patients. At this point there is a growing number of obese children.

Nutrition

This is a problem of proper nutrition, not weight. With the right nutrition weight management is easier. By just counting calories we will miss the boat. Activity is important but the foundation is nutrition. The job is enormous with all the fabricated food available, the home is where nutrition should be center stage. Obesity is the product of poor nutritional choices.

The Answer

There are powerful advances in the understanding of nutritional substances in food. Innovation in the treatment and prevention of disease using plant food has reshaped the way we look at cellular health. Natural methods have never looked so good. It looks like a simplistic approach to healing, it is everything but.

We have the tools to prove that food is increasingly the way to go, and vastly superior to prescription drugs. There are substances in plants that promote, enhance and energize our cells. This is not what a pharmaceutical does, it does what it is meant to and that is to reduce symptoms. Like an aspirin takes away a headache, without getting rid of the ability to have them.

The answer is not complicated it is straight forward full your fuel tank on what it needs to run well. Food is the energy juice that your body runs on. The more nutrients available the more energy the body has at its disposal to ward off disease. This is what has to be highlighted not the amount of tablets, capsules, or powder that you can get from the drug store.
