Weaning Off Medications with Raw Foods, Episode #140

[DRDNIBOY]

Her story is EXACTLY what happens to ALOT Of people! Doctors are mainly there to SELL PRESCRIPTIONS!

[jerseygrl5]

This woman's story IS my story! The pharmaceutical drug issue is shameful! Do you want to know why health care is so expensive in this country? We are being slowly killed and used by Big Pharma, Big Medica, Big Chemica. GET OFF THE PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS!

I take nothing anymore.....I juice, eat lots of raw and feel better than I have in 25 years!

[PenelopeRose238]

Have you ever heard ads for prescription medications (ie all the side effects)? This lady's transformation is an excellent account of how a perfectly healthy individual can be transformed into an invalid by living a high stress lifestyle and falling into symptom based Western medical treatments.

As for diabetes, a responsible approach is to experiment w/dietary changes under a doctor's supervision and reduce/eliminate insulin in response to positive changes in one's sugar levels.

[studentoflife01]

She is very pretty.

[acts1614]

awesome story!

the best way to prevent and heal disease is by what we eat. that was God original's plan. prayer works as well, but do we really want to live from miracle to miracle? i still thank God for grace!

medication is only the band aid to keep you alive until the more natural stuff can replace it. fixes one thing; destroys another.

thanks for posting!

[transtlantic]

its stupid. Prayer and food can't cure diabetes and many other thousands of diseases (actually prayer can't do a thing except help with depression and food is only good for some conditions)

be smarter

[acts1614]

i know people who have been healed from diabetes by prayer; some by foods; some by both. i choose to attribute it all to God; that's my choice.

even people on raw food diets can attest to their bodies being healed of all kinds of things. search youtube or google and you will find many many raw foodies who are well now because of the change in eating habits.

stick to the pre-k rules: if you can't say anything nice, don't say it. if your critique isn't constructive, keep it to yourself.

[transtlantic]

lol, care to give proof of such cure? you will win 1 million dollars if you can prove it at the james randi foundation.

Prayer can't cure a thing, end of. and you can't provide evidence of such, i dare you.

I prefer to atribute the cure to diabetes to insulin - btw, you do know a mother who thought prayer could heal his diabetic son (that died) was charged of manslaughter, didn't you?

those people can't attest a thing. Science is not made by youtube or google.

[acts1614]

you can check out the documentary: Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days

[transtlantic]

the infamous T.colin campbell... it seems he decided to move on to other quackery.

let me tell you this: if any diabetic follows his advice to stop taking insulin and dies --> please tell the family that they can sue campebell for fraud. but be carefull or the family can be accused of manslaughter for not searching for medical help

don't you wonder why smart people don't buy such stupidity?

[acts1614]

they don't recommend that you get off the medication AT ALL. you wean off as you detox from all the garbage and pay attention to your body. we have been doing a raw diet for about a week. my husband's sugar levels have been dropping tremendously! i'm so happy i found these videos as well as others that have helped give us some encouragement and knowledge.

hubby is only on long acting now. that's incredible if you ask me. he's even got movement back in his fingers.

raw foods can help heal.

[transtlantic]

are you for real?!?!?! do you even know what is diabetes? that you have 2 main types of it? symptoms and so on?

A week of diet? lol, if your husband was diagnosed diabetic, believe me, you can try whatever diet you want, sooner or later he will go get his insulin shots.

don't be dumb. try learn what is diabetes first. don't be so stupid to the point you prefer to listen to quackery than proper information

raw food is just that: raw. and food heals nothing except malnutrition

[acts1614]

i'm not sure why you are watching these kinds of videos if you don't believe they will help. my husband has had sugar issues and ON INSULIN for 8 years. he was diagnosed type II.

and yet, here we are. you wanted proof that raw foods help heal. this video is one of them. i'm telling you my husband's sugar levels have improved in one week so much so, the damaged caused by the meds are reversing. yet you still won't believe?

not my issue. i just hope our story & this vid encourages others.

[transtlantic]

uhm...type 2 diabetes on insulin, i would hope you would also tell about the other major meds necessary for such type of diabetes, like metformin and TZDs....

well the diet will help ofc, plus the exercise. But if he stopped the meds and has a serious diabetes, it won't take long for him to get worse again.

go read about the placebo effect, that's what those "new" bogus things do. Hope you know better when the time comes.

[transtlantic]

no one can reverse diabetics. If you stop producing insulin, you die without it - 100% sure.

i can only be astonished, i actually believe that diabetics won't buy such bogus and the ones that do, will go search for insulin the very moment they have a hyperglicemia crisis

be smarter acts1614

[transtlantic]

constructive critique: using the scientific method can you give proof that prayer or raw food can do anything that you claim?

no? thought so

and being even more helpfull to you: check Cochrane reviews for trials of quackery vs placebo

[transtlantic]

btw in type 2 you don't stop producing insulin, you get resistance to insulin.

be carefull acts1614

[10jedyny]

"no one can reverse diabetics. If you stop producing insulin, you die without it - 100% sure."

How can you say that when Gabriel Cousens can heal type one in 25 % and type two in 70-80 % and many other's do too. Gabriel finally got the funds to make big research (about 500 people) and maybe some of people who didn't believe will now change and embrace that cooking destroyes the food (although sometims may help absorb) and live food is teh answer. Peace

[transtlantic]

LOL..... no he can't. His claims are completly bogus. He is a known Quack, listed at:

quackwatch org

ANd again the exposure of the lie is quite clear. How can he claim that he healed type X in X people if he hasn't done the research to provide such evidence yet?

He is a big liar and a known scam artist who promotes CAM therapy. Which are all a sCAM!!!

keep it real, and remember: you provided no references! trust me: everyone will need insulin.

[ifarcast]

@10jedyny And thats not even a lengthy study, the longer you have diabetes the longer it should take to cure? Makes sense right? Would your rather be on insulin the rest of your life or eat raw foods? I'm leaning towards raw foods.

[smrporter]

One of your best videos yet Matt! Maureen's story is fantastic and inspiring. Every drugs junky, legal and illegal, should here this. Bless you :-)

[ruthshivani]

Thankyou Maureen, for strusting the space and sharing. Deep respect and celebration for you syster.

[easterb22]

i think that maureen is amazing. but i want to point out that there are some instances where medications are appropriate, and it wouldn't be responsible to give people the idea to just quit their medications. i do believe that there are classes of medications that are over-prescribed, but you make this seem too simplictic. be careful, matt.

[torturedbyshrinks]

Appropriate for whom? Whaever you deem appropriate "meds" for others, you should volunteer to take yourself, your whole family, anyone who pays your bills, and all th people in power. Then see how well they can function on "drugs which are appropriate". See if your bills will still be paid with everyon being drug disabled.

[rawinhawaii]

Aloha,

I am so proud of you Maureen!!!!!! I have a loved one that is on a very similar path as you were and it is hard to see that happen to a loved one, I have tried to help but I have not been able to get thru to this person. Any ideas on how to approach someone who faithfully believes in the Doctors?

Thanks!!

Cynthia

[therawfoodworld7]

awsome show , loved it , its always a good show everyday , 7777777 stars :) ! :)

[RADIANTandRAW]

Doing stuff like detox/liver flushing/colon cleansing will move the drugs out of the body much more quickly.

[RADIANTandRAW]

Well done Maureen - you're an inspiration for others!

Legalised medical drugs are crazy!

Healthy emotions/mind/spirit + raw food = cure for everything. So simple really.

[miarosado2]

wow! This was a much needed story to get out. E-mazing work on Maureen sub unconscious becoming conscious! I have watched my mom become my grandmother 20 years earlier because of drugs. That's why I'm nipping in the bud now with raw food. I just said to Matt and Angela when they wre here in KC that I loved how they put themselves on the line for us. The embarassing stories are just put out there for you to learn from. I really really respect them for what they have done and r doing.xoxoxo

[enzymeluv]

Weening one off prescribed medications are probably one of the most important issues that the raw food lifestyle can address. I would like you to do a separate interviews on just antidepressant rehabilitation, as over 30% of the armed forces are on them. The long term rehabilitation of the these soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder will yet to be fully witnessed. The Living Foods lifestyle could help them... Blessings.

[newgtguy]

Excellent point. Antidepressant withdrawal is totally down played by the Medical Industry. For me I went though about a year of living hell while trying to ween off of Paxil and then Lexapro.

It takes months not weeks for the SSRI withdrawal symptoms to go away! I'm available to anyone who needs help during this process. YOU WILL FEEL NORMAL AGAIN!

[lisacole690]

amazing ... unfortunately, what happened to maureen is quite common ... what's more uncommon is to get out of it in one piece ... good for her

[newgtguy]

I went to the doctor about 8 years ago and mentioned that sometimes I was depressed on a survey form. Instantly when the doctor saw this he said, "Paxil is really good for that."

Not knowing a thing about SSRIs I said really, are there any side effects? He said nothing major and that was the day I started down the endless SSRI spiral.

Now, 8 years later I've been SSRI free for 3 years. But, man I went through hell trying to end that addiction. Beware of the Allopathic Med Industry!

[aurorapsyche]

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Maureen. So interesting and very inspiring.

[Cutchswife]

Great lady. Well done!

[Jenny1954]

Wow, how inspirational and wonderful!

I would love to loose all my excess weight and get off my meds too, seeing how my insurance co just gave me the boot on my prescription plan.

I've been slowly transitioning to raw/vegetarian diet. Hardest thing right now is cutting out cheese, which I love, bread, and I eat the very healthy kind, fish, and eggs.

I just bought my first bag of Kale chips the other day and they are fantastic! Next step in getting the Excaliber dehydrator !

[SuperfoodGirl]

Amazing! Much love to you Maureen <3

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us
