Hi, Harlan-
Just a quick note to tell you how much my husband and I enjoy and appreciate your website. In driving across the country last fall from east to west we ran across one of your papers in Minnesota (I
think) and were immediately hooked and so thrilled to see this knowledge being disseminated in the heartland of the U. S.
We are not diabetic or ill in any substantial way, not on any medications or otherwise hooked into the US medical system primarily because of making many if not all of the changes you list on your site over
the last seven years or so. This change in eating wasn't entirely deliberate or even for our own health originally but we had a little parrot who became ill and in trying to keep him healthy we
ended up learning WAY more about nutrition than we ever expected.
Sadly our sweet bird died of his illness almost a year ago but we
continue to eat in this healthy way and love it more and more.
Because of these diet changes we are much healthier than almost anyone we know- which is kind of sad as we can't seem to convince any of our friends that what we're doing is the cause of much of this good health.
I'm sure something will "get" us eventually but in the meantime we're happy and healthy- and if we ever get another parrot (or a dog or a cat) you can be sure they won't be eating any grain, sugar, MSG, aspartame or
anything else unless it's part of the animal's wild heritage to eat it. Just like us.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for posting to the web and helping make this vital information available. Even if most our friends don't listen it's still there for others and I know there are people out there who
want to be healthy and understand having to make a real commitment to learning to have it happen. Your hard work is helping thousands of people every day begin and continue this process and that's just wonderful.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Felicia.
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
Mr. Jacobsen,
Thank you for this site! Your advice makes more sense than ANYTHING
that I have read from the ADA or that my endo has in his office. I have
been following your advice for a week now, and have cut back my evening Lantus
injection to 45 units - down from 70 - and have been able to eliminate my
Humalog injections in the past two days. This is hard - at least as
hard as quitting smoking - but I can see already that it will work.
Thank you for everything.
Bryan
I have an older mother who suffers with diabetes, I
struggled to understand her mood swings and emotions, the article you have
written about your personal struggle was a tremendous help. God bless you for
your courage and strength and unselfishness,
thanks emmett
I found these pages really great. I am actually a very good friend of someone who was diagnosed with diabetes a little over a year ago.
His kidneys had almost shut down completely but he refused to get on dialysis. He's doing much better but is just having a hard time with
grazing as his doctor has suggested.
The intense swelling in his lower extremities and stomach swelling/digestion is a constant battle.
He has been told to not excessively exercise (former football player- old habits hard to break) because of the excessive acid build up?
Your site seems to have just the no-nosense advice that he needs as he is really trying hard but with all the medications and experimenting
with different types of diets, he's becoming really frustrated.
~ Thanks
