Diabetes Type 2: "The Med-Free Solution”

By Dr. Leslie Van Romer

 

Dr. Narinder Duggal says, “Genetics loads the gun, choices pull the trigger.”

Meaning, what we eat (or don’t), how much we exercise (or don’t), and self-destructive habits like smoking are the bad guys, not our genes, which we have no control over.

Whether it’s called heart disease, many cancers, strokes, obesity, or hypertension, they predominately have one common cause – us and our daily choices.

Type 2 diabetes is no different. “Type 2 diabetes is a preventable disease,” says Dr. Duggal.

And just who is this Dr. Duggal? He is the medical doctor, board certified internist, pharmacist and expert in diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, hypertension, aging, lipids, and more, practicing in Poulsbo, WA, who sat across from me in my office and said,

“Dr. Leslie, if you can get our patients’ with diabetes type 2 weight down by just 10%, I guarantee I can reduce their drugs 100% of the time (if the pancreas still works) and 70% of the time completely off the drugs.” 

Whoa – quite the statement from an M.D., don’t you think?  And, if drugs could be reduced or eliminated with weight loss in diabetes type 2, then what about those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other problems?

I was beyond excited to join forces with Dr. Duggal, who looked more like an angel to me than a doctor (oh, please don’t tell him I said that – I wouldn’t want to embarrass him).

Dr. Duggal, an internationally renowned authority and lecturer for his colleagues on diabetes (this doc teaches the docs), as well as many other health issues, also says:

- “his goal is to cure type 2 diabetes, not just treat or control diabetes.”

- “curing diabetes saves dollars, lots of them, like a minimum of $450.00 a month just for diabetes drugs and testing strips alone, not even counting other medications.”

- “curing diabetes saves time: time spent at doctor’s offices and all the fussing with the disease.”

- “curing diabetes saves body parts: feet, legs, eyes, kidneys, pancreas, and your heart.”

- “curing diabetes saves worry, constant worry about  food, blood sugar, and future serious health problems and premature death.”

- “curing diabetes saves pain – pain from daily injections, finger pokes, and, worse, pain from amputations and permanent disability.

- “curing diabetes saves heart ache for you and your family.”

- “the secret to the type 2 diabetic cure is the diet best for human health and prevention of other diseases: whole, unrefined plant foods, rich in nutrients, low in fat, animal protein, and calories, plus one hour of daily exercise.”

- “the diabetic cure = eating correctly + exercise = weight loss = getting off or reducing medications.”

Did you know that:

- You can have diabetes 10 years before you or your doctor know it?

- If you have diabetes, you also have heart disease, whether you know it or not?

- Fat not sugar causes diabetes?

- The diet recommended by the American Diabetic Association doesn’t cure or usually even control diabetes?

- You can and should eat whole fresh fruit when you have type 2 diabetes?

-  The best diet for people with diabetes is also the best diet to lose weight and keep it off: Fresh, unrefined plant foods that are chocked-full of nutrients and fiber and are low in fats and calories?

The latest clinical study with 1079 participants (“Diabetes Care,” 2006; 29:2102-2107) concludes:

Patients that lose just 5% to 7% of their body weight and who meet physical activity (2.5 hours/week) and dietary fat goals reduced risk of developing diabetes by greater than 90%.

Whoa—that’s a huge amount of risk reduction without that much effort.

Furthermore, weight loss (only 5% to 7%) itself is the primary factor resulting in reduced diabetes.

What about you? Do you want to just treat and/or try to control your type 2 diabetes while you likely watch your body waste away or do you want to get rid of diabetes once and for all?

The choice is yours.
