vERY helpful talk. Have read your book, but having the verbal
explanation makes it more useable. How can I forward this info to
friends? Thanks.
Diane,
We don’t have any “tell a friend” type of program installed so I would just copy the url when you are on the page and forward that to your friends. Or you can give them this link: http://tinyurl.com/DrYoung10
Hope that helps.
Although I’m very familiar with Dr Young’s work, it is always great to listen to these interviews. There’s always new info to pick up and I find the talks motivational.
Thanks
HI i have just listened to this info with Dr. Young and , and found it very interesting . I have huge issues with what is going on in my system , and was following Dr. Graham 811 plan and seem to not be getting any better … Do understand that the higher fruit diet provides the calories for my training with weights and cardio and so on . So how do you get enough calories from greens and veggies to provide the colories to provide for rebuilding your wated musle mass?
Thanks Sherry
Sorry bout my typos should say your wasted muscle tissue .

I’d like to listen to it. Please let me know how to find it.
This is riveting! WOW, my mind is blown and I have been into nutritional science my whole life. All my programming says if I only ate veggies I would have low blood sugar, however over the last several months I have replaced most of the fruit I ate with raw veggies and have been surprised I am not hungry. And I weight train regularly. This has been very puzzling until I heard this interview. And the part about how chewing is the ONLY way we digest food…WHAT! I will need to listen 3 more times. THANK YOU ALEX! this is life changing!

ok call me weak; but has anyone had a problem with wanting to do this; yet not being strong willed enough to follow thru? I want to be better. I am unable to do this and still feed my family an “sad diet”
I constantly struggle with temptations/ giving in to desires…
Constant fight flight mode of emotions/eating with stress.
How about a great hypnotist to help change and make it easier to follow the diet?(make it an inexpensive one!LOL!)
Hi Sherry. I am a certified nutritional microscopist who was personally trained by Dr. Young. I was also the president of the international microscopy association. So that you know where I am coming from, for the past 6 years I have been studying how the lifestyle choices we make every day affect the quality of our blood which determines our health and wellness. I’ve recently opened a second office in Wisconsin, at the Anytime Fitness Building in Kenosha in addition to my office in Delafield, so I have done a great deal of work with athletes. If you are interested in rebuilding muscle mass, then do not fuel your muscles with acid waste from sugar. How does that even make any sense? Instead, provide it with oxygen and good fats and oils that burn clean in your body. Sugar leaves an acidic ash that has to be cleared out, or detoxed out of the body, whereas, good oils and fats leave an alkaline ash that is absorbed into the body and utilized when needed, like when you are under stress and need to return to balance. When you consider how you make new muscle tissue, you must consider what you are doing to your blood, because it is your red blood cells that reproduce and make new muscle, new bone, new body parts, organs and tissues. Acid (poison) is crystalized in your blood so that it won’t harm your tissues, organs, etc. This takes the oxygen out of the red blood cells (the oxygen transport mechanism in your body) in an attempt to return your body to balance. Your body then gives off calcium to buffer the acidity caused by an acidic way of eating. Sorry if I’m getting too technical, but it just so hard on your body to do acid on purpose. Have you ever considered the quality of your blood? And what you are doing to it? Have you ever seen your unchanged, live blood under a microscope? It is eye-opening experience and quite educational. I recently demonstrated the live and dry blood to the staff and MD’s at a local clinic, run by the largest health care provider in the state. Everyone was amazed. The doctor’s said what they have is a MASH unit, or triage that addresses a new patient every other couple of minutes. In fact, within the two hours I spent with the staff of 11 nurses and PAs, the doctor treated 18 to 20 (or more) patients, the point that the doctor was making was that they don’t have time to talk or listen to the patients, let alone, to teach them what they are doing to themselves by the lifestyle choices they make every day, that’s why he has his staff, and that’s why he brought me in, to train his staff to teach his patients. Nutritional microscopy not only demonstrates the quality of the blood, but educates the person as to what is going on inside of them, and then monitors how changes to their regime affects the quality of their blood - either improving or hindering their health and wellness. So if you ’seem to not be getting any better’ it may be because your body is sick and tired of fighting what you are doing to it. Try being “kind” to your body and working with it, instead of against it. Hope that all makes sense.

And Sherry,
It’s not about the calories, that is, unless you really wanted to rebuild wasted muscle mass!?!?! It is all about the biological terrain that your cells swim in. “When the fish is sick, you change the water.” A diet high in alkaline fruits and vegetables is what rebuilds healthy muscle mass because of a clean, healthy biological terrain. (And make sure to include good fats, plenty of high alkaline water and iodized sea salts.)
MeadowLark you aren’t weak for not wanting to do this. I too would find it difficult to eat only vegetables all the time for the rest of my life. I have never heard of diabetes being reversed either in type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
I have a question for the Dr. Young.
If the diabetes is reversed with this diet, would a person ever be able to go back to eating anything such as rice, bread or pasta without their blood sugar going up? Or is this diet something that has to be permanently adopted for the diabetes to be reversed?
Louise,
Dr. Young doesn’t check the blog regularly but let me give you my response based on what I know he has said in the past. You’d have to confirm with him though. Dr. Young and many other doctors will tell you that Diabetes is more of a state rather than an on and then off type of thing. It’s like obesity…If you eat well, lose weight and are no longer obese that doesn’t mean you can go back to eating anything and then never be obese again. If you change your diet and go back to eating poorly it is likely that the issues will come up again. You can contact Dr. Young on this site at pHmiracleliving.com to confirm this with him.

admin,
Well my question was specifically can one go back to eating rice, bread and pasta without blood sugar raising? I am not talking about going back to eating poorly.
Thank you.
Safari could not get thru to the server of Dr Youngs interview - what do I do?
Elizabeth,
I’m not sure why that’s happening for you. Try it again. If it keeps giving you issues email me at Alex@SimplyRawMovie.com and I’ll send you a different link. Thanks.
I’ll answer your question Louise,,,
When you ask if one can go back to eating rice, bread and pasta without blood sugar rising, and the answer is that if you are no longer diabetic, yes, in fact , that is the definition of someone who was once diabetic and is no longer. I question how healthy rice, bread and pasta is, because you are talking about glucose breaking down into sugar which a diabetic (someone who is intolerant to sugar) has difficulty with and that even a healthy person would have to work hard to detox out of the system after it is ingested. As far as you never having heard of diabetes being reversed in type 1 or type 2 diabetics, well, any doctor worth his/her weight in salt will tell you that type 2 is a lifestyle choice — that you don’t ever have to be a type 2 diabetic. The world is full of people who have chosen to be type 2, yes, and many, many people who have chosen NOT TO BE TYPE 2 DIABETIC. That I have reduced my need to insulin from over 100 units a day to around 20 (as a type 1) is a choice I make every day, and after 32 years of taking insulin, I am working toward the day I will not have to take shots regularly, or at all, and can eat as much of the foods I want and remain healthy and balanced. Diabetes is an imbalance that starts in the bowels and when one becomes acidic enough, the pancreas is shut down, probably because it is weak, from generations before and your own previous lifestyle choices, and unable to maintain itself in an acidotic state or condition. Oxygen and minerals are constantly given off from the organs, bones, tissues, and red blood cells in your bodies in an attempt to return to balance. When so out of balance that a weak pancreas has given off more that it can handle, it shuts down. The cure or the reversal, whatever, therefore, would be to not get yourself so out of balance that your own body has to give off so much so to have to shut down your organs, tissues, or bone strength that medicine would then label you with a diagnosis of diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, whatever. So, if you want to eat rice, bread and pasta, and think that that is health just because you can’t imagine eating vegetables for the rest of your life, then your health is your choice, eat what you want, live as you wish, but do not be surprised by the consequences. You are the consequence of your every day lifestyle choices, like living, eating, breathing, thinking and actively moving about. Again, if you don’t take these into account, then do not be surprised by the outcome. Wouldn’t you want to work in consort with your amazing human organism? Why would you have the intention to do hard, by making your body have to work harder than it has to just because of your taste buds? or your peers? or society norms? I mean, we are talking about taking time out of every day to rest, taking time out of every day to breath deeply, to fuel your body with the type of fuel that it needs (or does your body run on acid waste like sugar)? Some people call this mind over matter, others say it just doesn’t matter, either way, you do have a choice. Good luck with the choices you make — they will determine the quality of the rest of your life.
Fascinating stuff. And I as someone who is actively (but not always in a disciplined way ;)) making slow progress towards a better lifestyle a well as trying also to promote the same via my own website activities - I am fascinated by the query about whether you can ‘go back to’ eating bread, rice and pasta. Now to be clear I am not diabetic - bur members of my extended family are currently (or - sadly no longer with us - have been) and this topic is a real issue for us. I have followed Dr Young’s work (as a result of my wife’s initial interest - I’ll admit) for a few years and have found some of the material challenging but the ‘testimonials’ compelling. I guess I’s be considered a sceptic by nature and need to grasp the underlying explanations to be convinced (too many years teaching BSc and MSc courses in my ‘former life’, perhaps!)…BUT as the bigger picture clears I think that Rob Young has some important information to offer that is a major piece of the ‘Health Puzzle’. Regarding the ‘Rice and Pasta’ query - I think it is a typical question coming from the ‘unconverted’…most people who think of the word ‘diet’ see it as an imposed stricture that must be maintained until ‘the job is done’ (i.e. the weight lost - or the diabetes bought under control)…This belies the fact that it is SO hard to ‘re-learn’ the habits of an ‘eating lifetime’. It does feel odd beginning to eat meals without ‘carbohydrate phase’(…and I don’t claim to have ‘given them up’ myself either) BUT the fact is that if you have a pressing health issue, and that health issue relates to a diet that has undermined your health (along with other psycho-emotional contributions, in many cases) then changing your diet cannot be seen as something you do as a kind of ‘punishment’ until you get things right - it MUST be seen as a logical, healthful, CHANGE in lifestyle choice. Change is never easy - and humans are notorious for resisting change even it is blatantly gong to be ‘good for you’ - another vestige of childhood when we learn to ‘resist’ being told what to do by our parents. But when it comes to making changes to diet for health sake - then it is really about ‘re-educating’ your mind, then your palate. Once you reap the rewards of a new different way of eating - this helps of course - but you also need to begin truly to believe in the natural beneficial purpose of proper food choice and habits. When I was teaching/training people a key part of the training was a simplified reference to the ‘learning cycle’ and the fact that we only effectively learn when we have the knowledge, take action (practice) AND have the right ATTITUDE. When we know that the way that we have always been taught to eat is WRONG, and that the new way of eating is RIGHT (for our body, health and mind!) then we can ‘develop’ the right attitude. Naturally - before we embark on the journey, or are just tentatively taking steps, we may still ask ‘can we go back to eating bread, pasta and rice’ when we are well…BUT the fact is that when we get to the end of the journey and ARE well…we should have likely reached a point when we will natural choose NOT to eat these things again (but without feeling stressed, under some kind of stricture or regime, but just because we instinctively have come to know and feel that we don’t want them any more - this mean sthat we have committed to and achieved REAL change and not just ‘taken our medicine’ because the Dr says so!)…
Having said that - I have been really struggling to imagine not eating meat, chicken or fish at least SOME of the time (I probably eat about 50% of meals with at least some kind of meat at this time) - BUT I have to say that Dr Youngs explanation really help to motivate the further reduction…
I’d also like to hear the claim that we do not ‘digest food’ with anything ut our teeth - explained a bit more - as I THINK I know what Rob Young means - BUT it sounds rather odd. We tend to think of the gut and intestines as being a ‘digestive system’ - but I presume what Dr Young means is that the maceration by the teeth is supposed to make the food a ‘processable’ consistency - it cannot be further ‘chewed up’ or ‘broken down’ beyond what our teeth do, so this means that its availability as a form of nutrition will be limited by the ’size’/consistency to which it has been ‘pre-prepared’ by the action of the teeth…meaning also that much of our food will (if poorly chewed) either (at best) pass through without providing its full benefit - or will (at worst) sit in ‘unprocessable’ lumps in our colon and simply fester (ferment) without ever providing anything but an acidifying hazard to the system? (But feel free to correct me if I have mis-understood this - please!)
