Can health challenges be reversed? Absolutely, We Can Beat Many of Them, Especially Diabetes
"All this suffering, all this early death, is preventable. It is the direct result of the way we live – by our sedentary habits and our Western-style diets, bereft of whole, fiber-rich foods and full of fast foods and other calorie-dense junk."
There’s more troubling news. The pre-cursors of Type 2 diabetes – pre-diabetes and the new condition referred to as Metabolic Syndrome– increase our risk of heart disease almost as much as Type 2 diabetes does. These pre-cursors are so widespread in 21st century America that scientists now estimate that the majority of the current U.S. population over the age of 65 has them. And they put people at dangerously high risk of developing full-blown Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and dying prematurely.
Empowering Prevention
There is much you can do with lifestyle alone to prevent diabetes. In a landmark study, the NIH-sponsored Diabetes Prevention Class, scientists tracked 3,234 pre-diabetic men and women for three years. A third of them adopted lifestyle changes. Another third took a drug – metformin (Glucophage®). The remaining third, the control group, took a placebo. Those on the lifestyle-change plan reduced the progression to full-blown Type 2 diabetes by 58% compared to the control group. The reduction was even greater – 71% – among adults aged 60 and older. Treatment with the drug metformin reduced the progression of Type 2 diabetes by just 31%.
The lifestyle changes in the study were similar to the Healthy Education Diabetes Reversal Class and focused on eating our signature Diabetes Reversal Eating Plan, exercising five to six days weekly for at least 30 minutes, and a 7% weight loss.
Can You Reverse Diabetes? Or Just Control It?
Results of the Healthy Education Diabetes Class
Research published on Type 2 diabetics coming to a healthy education based Diabetes Reversal Class illustrate how profoundly beneficial early intervention can be. This study followed 243 people in the early stages of diabetes (not yet on medications). Within three weeks of coming to a diabetes reversal health education, their fasting glucose fell on average from 160 to 124.
Other studies have also found that The Anti-Inflammatory Method Class reduces fasting insulin by 25 to 40% .
Much research has found, too, that The Anti-Inflammatory Method Class can actually reverse the Metabolic Syndrome. In 50% of adult Americans studied, the Healthy University Class reversed the clinical diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome, and in just three weeks. In numerous studies following children with the Metabolic Syndrome, 100% no longer had the syndrome within two weeks of starting the Healthy University Class.
If you have diabetes or are concerned about developing it, this class could change the course of your life. Although diabetes is a serious illness that all too often leads to heart problems, nerve damage, blindness, stroke, or kidney failure, it doesn’t have to be that way.
The Anti-Inflammatory Method Diabetes Reversal Class outlines a completely new dietary approach to preventing, controlling, and even reversing diabetes. The Class is based on a series of research studies and colleagues have conducted over the years, the latest funded by the National Institutes of Health. Published in the August 2006 issue of Diabetes, that study found this class to be three times more effective than the American Diabetes Association dietary guidelines at controlling blood sugar.
The studies also show that by adopting The Anti-Inflammatory Method Diabetes Reversal Eating Plan—free of all hormone-heavy animal products and added vegetable oils—individuals can lower their cholesterol, reduce their blood pressure, and lose weight. Best of all, the diet doesn’t demand one count calories, cut portion sizes, or give up all carbohydrates. On the contrary, you can eat as much as you want.
The plan explains how the diet actually alters what goes on in an individual’s cells. Rather than just compensate for malfunctioning insulin, like other treatment plans, our Class helps repair how the body uses insulin. It also includes helpful tips on adopting a plant-based diet and more than 50 delicious and easy-to-make recipes.
