There Is a Cure For Diabetes
Leaders in Natural Health Offer Permanent Relief From Diabetes
Nov 3, 2009
Despite that many sources claim diabetes to have no cause other than possibly being hereditary, or describe it as an unavoidable consequence of race and the aging process, natural doctors and practitioners of holistic restorative health claim otherwise. At the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, Dr. Gabriel Cousens not only identifies the cause of diabetes, but illustrates the cure. To what is the slow decay of pancreatic insulin functions owed, and the resulting condition of diabetes? The answer is in the food.
The Real Cause of Diabetes
An average American diet is high in sugars and sweets, as well as animal fats and trans fats. These three elements are alone considered to be the most inducing to diabetes. Once digested, these elements demand a high level of insulin secretion from the pancreas so that the food may be turned into energy.
Whenever the pancreas is confronted with high insulin foods, it becomes overwhelmed. Over time, this causes inflammation and eventual exhaustion, which means that the pancreatic functions are no longer producing the insulin that the body demands.
In addition to a high sugar, high animal fat, high trans fat diet, habitual consumption of insulin suppressive elements is also known to negatively impact insulin production and function.
Heavy metals, caffeinated coffee, cigarettes and even a lack of exercise; these are all considered "insulin blockers." Once inside the system, they degrade the cells of the body to the point where they longer accept insulin. Perhaps the most significant of these insulin blockers is a chemical called aloxin.
Aloxin is used by scientists to induce diabetes in laboratory rats, as it has the power to destroy the beta cells of the pancreas. It is also the chemical present in white rice and white flour, as it is used to bleach rice and flour, staple food items in the American diet.
High fructose corn syrup, glucose and sucrose (sweeteners) are also diabetes-inducing. They combine with the protein molecules in the body, a process which inactivates the protein and protein enzymes, hence disrupting the metabolism cycles and stressing vital organs, including the heart (clogged arteries) and the insulin-producing pancreas.
There Is a Cure For Diabetes
Much of the information on diabetes stresses the chronic nature of the disease, asserting that in addition to being an urgent health problem, diabetes is incurable and irreversible. However, the idea that food can cure it is supported primarily by the efforts of natural scientists and doctors who have put this idea to the ultimate test.
That food can cure diabetes is not a new revelation: this theory was tested by a German physician Max Gerson in the early 1920s. The fundamental backbone of his natural therapy rested in the belief of the healing powers of raw organic vegan cuisine and the remarkable benefits of a raw juicing plan. In 1977, his daughter, Charlotte Gerson, founded the Non-Profit Gerson Institute in San Diego, California, where her father's contributions to natural medicine are currently practiced and continue to successfully serve a community of patients suffering from cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. The center stands by its 90-year-old philosophy that any disease linked to an unhealthy diet can be cured by a pure and healthy diet, complimented by a lifestyle of total wellness, primarily by awakening the human body's natural ability to heal itself.
Dr. Gabriel Cousen and The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center
Dr. Gabriel Cousens’s Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center functions with similar philosophies at its core, though this spiritual healer takes it one step further; he offers a 21-day in-patient program designed especially for the diabetic, claiming that he can reverse the degenerative effects, eliminate patient dependence upon insulin and medication, and restore the vitality and health of the patient.
The diet incorporates many essential features, some of which are enzymes which serve to undo pancreatic inflammation and scarring due to prolonged poor dietary habits, and to clear the arteries of the heart. The diet also detoxifies the body from heavy metals and various toxins, all which are diabetes-inducing aspects of life.
His experience as a spiritual teacher and natural medical doctor has allowed Cousens to create a total-wellness plan for his diabetic patients, one which revolves around an organic, live, high mineral, low glycemic, low insulin index, nutrient dense diet, including an initiation of "green-juice fasting." In addition, Cousens’ program incorporates many spiritual elements, introducing the patient to what he calls "the culture of life," renewing the individual’s unique and inherent ability to connect with the healing powers that result from a well-rounded lifestyle.
Stressing the importance of diet, sleep, love, breathing, exercise, meditation, soul, and spirit, Cousens seeks to modify all characteristics of his patient’s life so that they may restore their natural balance, and thus be restored to optimum health without the use of invasive treatments, injections or pharmaceutical drugs.
If the idea that food can cure diabetes still seems more of an idea rather than scientific fact, his website offers patient testimonials and relevant data which further substantiate the credibility of these claims.
Let the principle that food has the power to heal bring hope to every suffering diabetic, and through education may this awareness continue to grow.
