The Raw Food Kids

This video rocks!  Make sure to leave your comments for Sergie so that he knows what you think of his video!

Here are Sergei’s own words about his beating diabetes:

“I was nine years old when I was diagnosed with Diabetes. Doctors told my parents and me that I had to go on insulin immediately. My parents refused and instead began searching for alternative treatments. After trying numerous diets that did not work, in 1994 I tried raw food as well as vigorous exercising. I noticed a difference almost immediately. Within a few months of changing my diet and sticking to my exercise, my blood sugar was consistently lower and my symptoms were slowly but surely growing more faint. A few months after that, I sold my glucose monitor machine to my math teacher for $5.00 because I was tired of pricking my finger and having a normal reading each time. I feel extremely lucky to have been given another chance at being healthy. I know that the active lifestyle that I live today would not have been possible to live had I had diabetes. I am very grateful to my parents for not being afraid to try something out of the ordinary and for not being afraid of what others will think of them. It is because of them that I have my health today.”

The Movement to Reverse Diabetes Naturally Begins

Have you noticed the word “change” in the news lately? With the inauguration of Barack Obama only 1 day away it is all that you hear about on the news. It has been the central theme of Barack Obama’s campaign. And love him or hate him one thing is clear, people are looking for change.

There is one important message that I have gotten from Barack Obama, one thing that I have heard him say numerous times. The change that many of us are looking for isn’t up to one person. While we all hope that Barack Obama will better the United States and the world (regardless of your political views) we also know that he alone is not going to magically make things better. It’s up to each and every one of us to make a difference.

And if you’re like me Health is an area that you know needs to change, not only in the United States but in the entire world. The food most people are eating is simply making them sick! We have more heart disease, more cancer, more diabetes and more chronic illness than EVER before.

So today, January 19th, 2009, we are announcing the launch of “The Movement to Reverse Diabetes Naturally” and we ask that you join us in helping to reverse the trend of skyrocketing diabetes rates. You can take a look at our new RDN Movement site here:

www.RDNmovement.com

On this site we have integrated an amazing social network for diabetics and non-diabetics to communicate, share information and organize to help make a difference. We all know that the diabetes associations, funded by the drug companies, aren’t going to help us in getting out this important information that diabetes can be reversed.

We’re also going to be running a powerful, world wide event on April 25th, 2009. I’ll let you read the details of this event here:

http://www.rdnmovement.com/?page_id=143

We’re going to be organizing resources from around the world to help diabetics and non-diabetics that are looking to make change. We’ll be listing resources such as where to get raw foods, what health events are taking place and where to find health retreat centers in your area like the Tree of Life featured in the film “Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days.” We’ll also have articles written by many of the top health experts in the world.

So go ahead, check it out and please make sure to join The Movement to Reverse Diabetes Naturally. With your help we can change the health of the world one person at a time.

To your health,

Alex Ortner - Founder of The Movement to Reverse Diabetes Naturally

Holiday Story About a 10 Year Old Boy that Watched “Simply Raw”

“Why Some Diabetics Are Afraid of Raw Food” The following was written by Ian Blair Hamilton from Australia on his blog. If you like the story make sure to send him an email at ian@ionlife.info. If you’re in Australia you can also buy copies of the film “Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days” from him directly! Monday, Dec. 1st, 2008: Last night was a great night for us. We hired the local theatre and screened “Simply Raw: 30 Days to Reverse Diabetes” This video just blew us away when we saw it, so much so that after watching it at home we immediately decided to share it by hiring the local theatre. It’s one of those rare videos that has you jumping for joy. We printed brochures, we advertised, we talked about it on our blog, and after all of that the 110 seat theatre held just 42 souls. And please don’t mention breaking even! And yet, for us, it was a roaring success, due to a large degree to one little boy. Now you’d think that a movie about curing diabetes naturally would bring diabetics, wouldn’t you? Me too. But it actually seemed to bring raw foodies, and general natural health people – at least that’s the feedback we got from people as they filed into the theatre. It was only after the show, as people gathered in the foyer, that we discovered young Matt. All of ten years old, he’d come with his parents, and his Dad approached me first. “Are you hoping to run a 30-Day retreat?” “Yes, we are.” I answered. “Are you interested?” “Not me,” said Dad, “Him! Do you have age restrictions?” I looked at this beautiful kid. He was looking back at me with open, hopeful eyes. “Are you a diabetic too?” I asked. “Yep” he said, his eyes never leaving mine. “And would you want to go 30 days on raw food like the film?” I asked. “Yep.” He answered. No question about it. He knew what he’s seen. Of course, we have no ‘policy’ about age. Hey, we haven’t even arranged the retreat yet. But I’d love to see young Matt there. He’s Type A diabetic; the one the experts say is capable of producing insulin. Yet we’d just witnessed a young man on the video who got completely off his injections and medications, who stopped peeing at all hours, whose sight stopped deteriorating, and who had, as a result of his 30-day experience, decided on a change of lifestyle to naturopath specialising in raw foods so he could ‘spread the love’. (And only after the retreat did he learn that he was a misdiagnosed Type 1 ‘incurable’). I saw an old, overweight lady completely off insulin return home and begin a local awareness program targeting doctors and health care centres. I saw a elderly Italian American man change before my eyes into someone with light in his eyes and purpose in his life.. all because the proof was incontrovertible. The retreat worked. So even though there was only one young diabetic we know of attending, it was still such a great night that I awoke this morning still buzzing - because I knew we had something that can change lives right here in the palm of our hands. So.. there WILL be a 30 day retreat in the new year. There WILL be a chance to attend. It WILL change lives, attitudes and futures. I also will have copies of the DVD so you can experience the Video yourselves and pass the message on to your friends. My lesson of the night came from watching a 26-year old man on the video. He was being asked why he didn’t want to make the final jump to no insulin at all. His answer: “Because all my life, every doctor I ever went to told me I’d be on insulin for the rest of my life.” That explained to me why we had so few diabetics responding to our advertising and brochures. They believe that investigating a cure for diabetes, when their doctor has told them it is hopeless, will only bring on new pain and disappointment. So rather than investigate and come along, they stayed home with their insulin. This morning I talked to Peter, my own doctor. He agreed. People don’t believe they can be healed, and he added that research into anti-diabetes drugs is taking on more and more complex drug research avenues. Just like cancer, just like heart disease, just like just what is happening for about every ‘incurable’ ailment. And yet think about it! Raw food diets heal diabetes! So if you have a friend with Diabetes type one or two, please tell them to check out my site. If they just sign on to my newsletter I’ll make sure they have access to news as it happens about the video and the 30 day retreat. Why? Because I love the feeling of getting up in the morning knowing I changed the world in my small way yesterday! For you Aussies.. please let me know if you’d like a local screening and we’ll see what we can do in the new year. You can email me at ian@ionlife.info

What is the Best Diet to Reverse Diabetes?, by Alex Ortner

According to Gabriel Cousens, M.D., a specialist in the area of diabetes, the diet that works the best is a raw, vegan live food diet that is organic, plant-source only, low-glycemic, low-insulin index, high-mineral, low fat (especially animal fat), high-water content, that is individualized to your constitution. This means no meat, no dairy, no bread, no cooked grains, no sugar, no caffeine, no alchol and nothing cooked over 118 degrees.

I know what some of you may be thinking…why can’t I eat some of those things?!

Let’s start off with meat.

According to Diabetes Care 7, “A quarter pound of beef raises insulin levels in diabetics as much as a quarter pound of straight sugar.” Eating meat is simply not as natural for the human body as most people think it is.

It wasn’t until about 10,000 years ago that humans started eating more meat because of a shift to a herding and farming culture. Before that, for perhaps 3.2 million years according to Dr. Cousens, humans had been eating mostly a live plant based diet, a diet that is much more natural for the human body to digest, the basic chimpanzee diet. In fact, between 1840 and 1974, the quantity of meat eaten per person in the US increased by FIVE FOLD!

So why not dairy then?

According to Dr. Cousens, “The problem is that the antibodies to the milk antigens cross-react with the beta cells of the pancreas, creating inflammation and scarring. This consequently blocks or destroys beta cell production of insulin. According to two major studies in Finland and Chile, the rate of juvenile diabetes is 11 to 13 times greater in children who had cow’s milk before 3 months of age.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has recocnized this as well and made a decision in 1994 to strongly encourage families with a diabetic history not to give their children cow’s milk or cow’s milk products for at least 2 years because it significantly increasing the likelihood of developing diabetes.

Japanese children, who have the lowest consumption levels of milk, have 1/36th the rate of Type I diabetes as does Finland, the country with the highest level of milk consumption.

How about fruit?

Dr. Gabriel Cousens recommends “against fruit for three to six months until the fasting blood sugar (FBS) stabalizes at between 70 and 85, and then only have low-glycemic fruit such as berries, cherries, citrus, goji berries, cranberries, and an occasional apple.

So What Can You Eat?

Your diet should consist of raw, vegan live plant based foods. Some people need more protein (plant based of course) and others need a diet higher in complex carbohydrates. Everyone’s bodies are different so it depends on your body. Regardless of your body type you should have a diet that is high in vegatables and phytonutrients. You should make sure that there is a variety of colors in the foods that you are eating as these colors are actually the pigments of the phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are critical because they turn off the diabetes causing genes and turn on the anti-diabetic genes.
