What Our Diabetes Readers Have To Say.....

Hi, My A1C was 12.5 my average b.s. was 365 when I was diagnosed May 2006. They wanted to put me on pills, said I was going to go blind, loose my kidneys, loose my legs and then die. I said no to the medicine...they weren't happy. I gave up sugar (real or fake) and flour. I have lost 65 pounds (I had started 3 years b4 that cutting out my junk food slowly and had lost 60 pounds) So all together I have lost 125 pounds (I was 240 pounds/now 115). I quit eating all processed foods. I eat only veggies and meat and fat. I have been adding things in slowly and testing to see if it spikes my blood sugars. My husband heard an add on the radio in the car and called me and told me about your web site. I was so shocked to see the "caveman" diet. I was doing exactly that. My A1C is now 6.1 and my b.s. runs between 78 to 130's. usually between 85 - 120. The doctor threw her hands up in the air and said " There is nothing else I can do for you". She was almost dis!

gusted that I could turn around so fast. Then she looks at me and says "you have colon cancer!!!". "No one can loose weight this easy". Where she got the idea it was easy I don't know. I am a food addict and there was nothing easy about what I did at all. Needles to say I no longer see that doctor! Thank you for your researching and having the web site. It was absolutely wonderful to see someone else who found out these answers to such a disease as diabetes. I hope allot of people will see it and take notice. It works. IT WORKS!! Life goes on without food being the center of it. 

Thank you. Linda

Dear Harlan,

How do you thank someone for saving your life and not only saving it, but wrapping it with a golden ribbon? THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I read through some of your web site and got the first glimmer of hope that I had ripped away from me. My husband bought the back issues of your newspapers and I am so overwhelmed with good stuff for the first time since I heard the words "you have diabetes". After seeing my doctor and listening to her tell me that I would die from this and would lose some toes, a foot or two, maybe my legs and my eyesight, I lost every little bit of hope that I had and that was not much to begin with. Then I finally told my husband how I felt like not going on and facing such a horrid life and that I needed some hope. If I have a glimmer of hope, I can do anything. The next day he showed me your web page and I couldn't believe my eyes. I began to get some hope, but thought "yeah right, knowing my luck, it will not work for me", but I will give it a try. I am willing to do anything to have a life that is not going to be horrid painful one. I am not following the diet completely yet, but doing the best I can for now. I have cut out all breads, potatoes, rice and things that have it in it. Basically, I am living on meat, fruits, vegetables, milk and nuts. I love the grazing way of eating too. I hated the "at 8 am you will eat, at 12 you will eat and at 5 you will eat" and not gaining any ground. I was losing weight, but that was the only good thing I could see. I felt hopeless and didn't know how I was going to continue. Many times I thought, if I am not going to get any better and will in fact only get worse, then I am going to eat whatever I want and when I want, to hell with it. Then I tried your way of eating for a day and I was totally amazed to the point of crying the first tears of joy in a long time. The very first day of eating the caveman way, my blood tests stayed within the normal range and I felt like I was free to eat when I was hungry, not when the clock told me it was time. I also love the way eating like this doesn't make me feel like I have too much in my tummy.

I take your papers with me everywhere I go, so that when I get even a minute, I am reading them and learning so very much. I feel they are the bible of eating right and do not want to be without them. I still  have a lot of work to do, but for once I feel like I will cure and beat this awful disease and live!

I am also telling anyone that will listen about your web site and everything I have learned so far. I want to run to the top of the mountain and shout it to the world: "There is a cure people! Stop listening to the doctors that will kill you!" I have never in my life felt so passionate about anything like I am about this. I want to do any and everything I can to help you spread the news. I have asked my husband to link your page to mine and I think he is going to link it to his too. We are going to get the news out, even if it means walking on the streets with a sign on my back to let every one know. You have saved my life and I want to save as many others as I can.

I can not tell you enough how much you mean to me and how blessed I feel that you are here and shared what you have found.

When I was first diagnosed, my doctor put me on metformin and I thought "WOW with this I will beat this". Then within a month, I was so sick from the metformin that I thought I was going to die. Every time I ate or drank anything, it felt like someone either hit me in the stomach or stabbed me. For three weeks all I could consume was chicken broth and even that hurt like hell. I finally got one of the diet shakes, with the vitamins in it and that began the road to eating again. Needless to say I quit the metformin right away, but it took 3 weeks to get it  out of me enough to feel human again. I even went to the emergency room twice and neither of those doctors could help me with the pain or solving the problem with eating. What good are they

Since then I have been put on pills for this and pills for that and told I will be on them the rest of my life. Over time I got off of almost all of them and working on the last two. I can not understand why I need a pill to keep my cholesterol down when I am eating healthy and exercising. I was not happy that within 3 months I took my cholesterol from 240 to 200 and because that was not fast enough, I got put on pills. To heck with that noise, I believe that if I eat right (the caveman diet) I will keep it down naturally. I also feel this is my body and my life, I can choose to live it naturally if I want and not one doctor is going to tell me I can't.

As soon as possible I am going to change everything about my eating. We are saving to buy a house in the country and I will grow my own meat and fruit and vegetables and eat what I grow. I will also drink the good chemical free water that comes out of the ground. I have been learning all I can from my uncle that grew up on a farm before the wide spread use of chemicals were used and he is teaching me how to do it the old and healthy way. It will mean a lot of work, but that also means building muscles, getting a lot of sunshine and curing this disease. Another good benefit.

Harlan, I can not express enough how thankful I am that you not only researched this, but that you share it with the rest of us. I honestly feel that God gave you to the world to be our voice and hope. The only way I can think of to repay you is to pass it on and believe me, I do every chance I get.

Again thank you from the whole of my heart, mind and soul. May God bless you and keep you always. My husband, Joe will be writing to you soon too. He is as thankful as I am for your help and hope.

I will write again and will probably have some questions, but I want to read all of the papers first.

Stay safe, stay healthy and know I am thankful to you.

Irene
