(Excerpts from this Book)
Diabetes afflicts over 8% of the American population. Many of them have the belief that diabetes is inherited and the body
is a victim of a genetic flaw or predisposition to the disease. Although genetic reasons can play a certain role in the
manifestation of diabetes, in most cases they don't; they certainly don't explain why pancreatic cells suddenly decide to
self-destruct (type I diabetes), or why common cells in people of age 50 or older for no apparent reason decide to block
out insulin-laden sugar (type II diabetes).
Many patients and their doctors assume that diseases manifest because the body somehow makes a mistake and thus fails
to do its job. This idea defies all sense of logic, and scientifically, it is incorrect. In this world, every effect has
an underlying cause. Just because doctors are not aware of what causes pancreatic cells to stop producing insulin doesn't
automatically mean this is an autoimmune disease - a disorder in which the body presumably tries to attack and destroy itself.
By developing diabetes, the body is neither doing something wrong nor is it out to kill itself. It certainly finds no
pleasure in making you suffer and feel miserable.
What we really should be focusing on is to create the circumstances that the body would require to shut down its
insulin-producing capability in type I diabetes, and increase it in type II diabetes. With its huge number of
sophisticated survival mechanisms, the body makes every effort to protect you against further harm than has already
been caused through inadequate nourishment, emotional pain, and/or a detrimental lifestyle. When seen in this light,
disease becomes an integral part of the body's effort to prevent a person from committing unintentional suicide.
It can be firmly stated that your body is always on your side, never against you, even if it appears to attack itself
(as in the so-called autoimmune disorders, such as type I diabetes, lupus, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis).
Just as there is a mechanism to become diabetic, there is also a mechanism to reverse it. To call diabetes,
regardless whether it is type I or type II, an irreversible disease reflects a profound lack in understanding
the true nature of the human body.

At one time in recent history, many of today's epidemic disorders were well-understood to often be but symptoms
of diabetes. Strokes, both ischemic and hemorrhagic, heart failure due to neuropathy as well as both ischemic and
hemorrhagic coronary events, obesity, atherosclerosis, elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and elevated
triglycerides were all known to be common consequences of a disturbed metabolism as it occurs with diabetes. These
symptoms, as well as impotence, retinopathy, renal failure, liver failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, elevated blood
sugar, systemic candida, poor wound healing, peripheral neuropathy, and many others have since been turned into separate
diseases, requiring specialized treatments and specialists to administer them. Although this may have greatly served the
medical and pharmaceutical industry, it has led to untold suffering of patients and cost many lives unnecessarily.
