Description

“The second edition of There Is a Cure for Diabetes is groundbreaking. Dr. Gabriel Cousens gets impressive results that speak for themselves. He is reducing and even eliminating the need for medication, rated by The Journal of the American Medical Association as the fourth leading cause of death in people with diabetes. This well-documented book is all the more important and a better alternative.” —Terry Shintani, MD, JD, MPH, author of The Good Carbohydrate Revolution “Now in a newly revised and expanded edition … [Dr. Gabriel Cousens] provides the non-specialist general reader with a comprehensive program for containing diabetes, both in terms of treating the symptoms as well as their underlying causes.” — Midwest Book Review Praise for the first edition“There is abundant evidence that people with even long-standing diabetes can improve their health dramatically—and practically reverse their condition. Gabriel Cousens, MD, shows you how to tackle this disease through lifestyle intervention, explaining how a low-fat, vegan diet could save your life. There Is a Cure for Diabetes is an extraordinary tool that will guide you in your journey to fight diabetes and regain your health.”—Neal Barnard, MD, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine“With this book, Gabriel Cousens, MD, takes his place among the world's leading physician-healers. A synthesis of his thirty-five years of clinical experience, There Is a Cure for Diabetes presents a practical, comprehensive, and highly effective holistic approach for treating and curing one of our most common diseases. xa0It is the greatest contribution to the treatment of diabetes I've encountered in the forty years since I began my medical training.” —Dr. Rob Ivker, DO, ABHM, co-founder and past president of the American Board of Holistic Medicine and author of Sinus Survival “Gabriel Cousens, MD, has clearly established himself as the world's leading medical authority on diabetes. His Tree of Life program is proven to completely reverse Type-2 diabetes and markedly improve the condition of those suffering from Type-1 diabetes.” —David Wolfe, author of Eating for Beauty and The Sunfood Diet Success System and founder of Sunfood Nutrition and The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation xa0 “As a doctor who has treated diabetes for nearly thirty years, I can tell you with certainty that the standard medical protocols and management of this illness are not only inappropriate, they’re absurd. In sharp contrast, Gabriel Cousens, MD, has developed a protocol for successfully restoring the health and well-being of diabetics, sparing them the pain and agony of unnecessary and inevitable amputations, obesity, blindness, and premature death. If followed, his advice in There Is a Cure for Diabetes provides diabetics freedom from their illness and enriches the quality of their lives.” —Daniel Nuchovich, MD, director of Jupiter Gardens Medical Center and Jupiter Institute of the Healing Arts xa0 "The beauty of Gabriel's work is that he's not just putting forward an interesting theory—the people he's cured of diabetes are living proof that it works. The truths in [ There is a Cure for Diabetes ] go behind diabetes—they're a sensible lifestyle choice for all human beings." — The Mother magazine xa0 " There is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program by Gabriel Cousens, M.D., prescribes fasting and a low glycemic, low insulin scoring diet." — Publishers Weekly "Massively packed with information and references to studies and other scientific papers that can make your head spin. [Cousens'] years of tireless scientific research for the living foods community is a precious gift for those of us seeking a much healthier lifestyle. All in all, There Is A Cure For Diabetes is an excellent book for a raw foodist library." —Raw Food Right Now! xa0 "Gabriel Cousens’ book, There is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program , is a comprehensive guide—not to living with diabetes but for learning how to live without it.xa0It is, as the author explains, about embracing a culture of life rather than a culture of death.xa0In reading this book, do not expect an approach of moderate changes to your lifestyle—adding this, or subtracting that—this is about total physical and spiritual transformation." —Spiritualitea.com Gabriel Cousens, MD, a leading medical authority with 40 years of success in healing diabetes naturally, is the founder and director of the Tree of Life Foundation and Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona. A best-selling author and the creator of Dr. Cousens's Diabetes Recovery Program, he uses the modalities of diet, nutrition, naturopathy, Ayurveda, and homeopathy blended with spiritual awareness in the healing of body, mind, and spirit.

positive and extremely detailed

I've read 100+ health books and this was in the top 10%. I learned so much:

1) High saturated fat diet does not necessarily lead to high serum levels of cholesterol.
2) Dr Cousens believes fasting blood sugar over 85 is pre-diabetic (not conventional value of 100).
3) High protein diet can also raise blood sugar levels. It's not just the carbs.

There’s never enough food to feed a hungry soul

I owned this book for years before I finally got around to reading it. I blame its mammoth size (588 pages) for that. The recipes should have been made into a separate book (cooking from an informational resource is not exactly inspiring).

Good points: Very holistic look into the ‘Culture of Death’ which Cousens defines as a junk food, high stress, no love, poor sleep, television-watching lifestyle. He considers, with more insight than most, how we form these poor habits (and the cellular memory which keeps us stuck in the habits which don’t serve us). He notes that there’s never enough food to feed a hungry soul, and he asks the reader to acknowledge the healthiest part of themselves which doesn’t want diabetogenic foods and the suffering they cause. He emphasizes that high blood sugar (FBS of 86+) causes accelerated aging (including to collagen and elastin which shows as wrinkles). Diabetes itself, he teaches, causes generation degradation; an internal rusting as well as skin aging.

Socioeconomic factors are considered (diabetes is inversely related to poverty; East Harlem in NYC is a hotbed for diabetes). Cousens takes a global perspective and considers the impact in the third world, to children, and ofcourse in the United States. His message is clear: take the path of least resistance and diabetes will rob you of the life and joy you deserve.

Dr Cousens supplement recommendations were good, but often without clinical dose recommendations or any ranking in terms of their performance. His lifestyle recommendations were excellent; common sense. He acknowledges the power of calorie restriction. His science is selective, as ofcourse he’s a raw-foodist. I saw through that and still believe I’ve received the message.

It’s a bit of a dog’s breakfast, mostly because of its unwieldly size. Hard to action. But that doesn’t mean it’s without value. I learned a lot. It just needs to be updated (it’s already 6 years old), pared down to a manageable size, with the recipes in an a separate book with attractive photographs.
