Dr. Tyson reverses his Type 1 diabetes with DIET!

[kch432]

Our family ate this way before and drank your green smoothies, yet our little girl was recently diagnosed with Type 1 after a stay in the ICU. Confused people are commenting to me all the time, "but your family eats so healthy". I'm so frustrated with all of the miss information out there on Type 1. Without insulin, people with Type 1 can not survive. Please keep in mind that you are dealing with children and parents of children with Type 1 here.

Mmm Popeyes...:) J/K!...kinda

I'm confused by the term 'reversing' type one. To me that means the insulin producing cells of the pancreas are now working which would be impossible in type one.  Yes, his insulin needs diminished because of the foods he is eating but this doesn't reverse the illness. He eats a cheeseburger on a bun tomorrow he will need to give himself insulin.

[kch432]

@colecrew5 Exactly! Under 5 carbs of veggies, we don't need to give insulin for our child for that, but throw in some legumes, avocado, carrots, thats another story.

I'm on the fence with type one and reversing completely but I do know this works with type 2. I got diabetes when I was pregnant. My doc said it would go away because I ate a pretty healthy diet and excersised. However it didn't. Also I am allergic to sulphenorias which are what the majority of diabetic meds are made of. He said insulin so I tried it and had no control over it with it. So I decided to go raw. I watched my blood sugar go from 300-400's to 80-130. No fruits except berries. works!

[akwolfsong]

@akwolfsong Mind you this was over a period of years trying to control my blood sugar by every means known to man and had finally accepted an early death. As a last ditch effort I went on a starvation diet because that seemed the only way to keep sugar in 170-290 range. As I was researching the pancreus I found a video on rawfood living. I tried it and tada! My doc was actually mad that my A1C went from 12 to 6.7 w/o his help & ranted that food alone couldn't do that.He's not my doc anymore. :D

Why didn't you interview someone who actually managed their diabetes before trying this "miracle diet"? "Reversing" Diabetes means no insulin. How is that possible? Even if you don't eat carbs (which is unhealthy not to eat some) and not need a shot for meals you still need a basal insulin to keep you liver from dumping out sugar and making your blood sugar go up. You need to educate yourself on the disease before making claims like this. I hope no one is hospitalized because of thisvideo

[vinny111]

Where can I get her book?

[kalkeikuu]

The only thing that does confuse me is Dr. Robert Morse ND said to cleanse mainly with fruits, than veggies because our cells need ATP in them from fruit. Check him out on YouTube.

[kalkeikuu]

Very Inspiring! Plants & Herbs CAN Heal Illness.  All from GOD.

[vegasrenie]

He was my favorite participant in the Simply Raw movie, and I'm not surprised he decided to become an ND. He was the most nurturing of the entire group, and I'm very happy to see his success!

[des570]

Hello GreenSmoothieGirl, What was your vision prescription before you started eating raw? Anything specific you ate to correct your vision?

[FrozyWozy]

Congrats Kirt!!!!!! I watched u on the documentory about a month ago and was soooo inspired to try raw. Its nice u furthered ur education to learn more about the matter. Keep it up! :-D

[FrozyWozy]

@ChowHallCommando that is never the case. U don't need to buy the expensive devices to go raw. I went raw just using my regular blender. I had to blend the greens with water first then put the other ingredients in but that wasn't too bad. I didn't use a food processor but I'm sure a reasonably priced one will work fine. Try it out. Its worth it!

[Thewrathofpaul]

How do you get enough calories on raw foods without fruit?

[fromanotherstar]

@Thewrathofpaul I had the problem of losing TOO MUCH weight at the beginning,

so I countered that by increasing my avocado, walnuts and flax oil intake. I've got

a nice equilibrium going for me now, but there was a lot of trial and error...

[bluesdog88]

@Thewrathofpaul What's wrong with fruit?

[sabatheus]

@bluesdog88 Absolutely nothing! He was probably avoiding it to prevent spikes in his blood sugar, but I'm guessing. I've also heard that eating fat with fruit or other carbohydrates is bad because it keeps the sugar in your bloodstream longer.

[ChowHallCommando]

Very interesting video but as a Disabled Marine Corps Veteran on a very small budget I could not even afford a good blender or worse one of those juicers that cost about $170.00. Being healthy is for people with money. It's so frustrating.

[4007fairview]

@ChowHallCommando Have you tried contacting Vita Mix with your story? It's my understanding they can be very generous! I'll share this - I bought a Samson juicer, looks like it was used perhaps TWICE at our little local thrift store for $6! Talk to the store managers at your thrift stores, explain your circumstances - the managers here are good about letting you know when certain items come in!

@4007fairview Thank you. I'llhave to look into that.
