Intro

so be quick thought then most people have is okay diabetes is a very type-2 diabetes is a very serious issue so what I’ll do is I’ll eat less sugar or I won’t each other but it’s saying I’m a healthy person and I can eat sugar but I eat fish and that seems you know it’s not sugar I eat chicken ate egg whites sometimes I have pretzels cuz that has white flour or I have some pasta um these people in general believe they are not contributing to diabetes because they’re not eating sugar and junk but they are eating fish one chicken two egg whites three white flour four and you know and white and pasta same thing so on those four things fish one chicken two egg white three and white flour pretzels or pasta or cereal for each of those four is this really a big deal with diabetes as long as we’re not eating the sugar is it really make that much of a difference if we eat fish chicken egg whites or white flour each of those four do go first okay it

Is this really a big deal

makes a huge difference so what we know is that meat and fish and chicken all increase your rate of diabetes they did a particular study that was very very good involved twelve different studies and it showed that people who eat meat fish chicken I’m gonna add dairy in there have 35 to 50 percent more diabetes so right off the bat we have that the more recent research shows that animal fat in particular definitely increases your rate of diabetes and also associated with destroying the beta cells of the pancreas fish fat in particular in particular actually kills the beta cells of the pancreas so if you even have two helpings of fish a week just to helpings you will actually accelerate beta cell destruction so the data is getting stronger and that makes a difference a very interesting research somewhat Buddhist really makes the point they took vegan Buddhist and meat-eating Buddhists and they found that the women who were meat eaters only had 3% of what American women have and the vegan the mediating men only had 8% but that being said when they compared the vegan to the woman who having only 3% of animal products they had literally double the rate of diabetes actually quadruple the rate of diabetes and the men all eating eight percent had double the rate of diabetes as compared to the vegan men so even a very small percent actually makes a very significant difference I kind of leave it like that the rest would be an hour lecture Tina Chu from she had well I I think it must have been yeah but she saw a seventy five percent risk reduction in women and 51 percent risk reduction in men know so it’s a different okay okay point being there are lots of studies on these things so even a little bit matters that’s the key well I think it’s

Insulin

enough research proving for us that animal fat and protein spikes insulin and you need insulin for so many functions you need it for your brain you need it for you need it so that you can absorb sugar into the cell your energy source is glucose but you know if I don’t get it from the right source that’s when doughnuts look good when I get it from the green shoes and I get it from wheatgrass and I get it from al G’s blue-green algae and spirulina and chlorella and all that then I don’t have that need so more or less we all have to be ahead of ourselves because we are all sugar addicts or we are recovering but that is that is the biggest problem for example if you’re on whey protein you know that that spikes your insulin about 30 to 50 times more then then sugar does imagine that so it’s sugar yes we got to be really careful we don’t eat any white sugar we don’t eat honey or maple syrup but our natural sugar comes from the greens and the juices that we drink that apps actually don’t have sugar from carrots and beets we stay very very green and why we’re so strict is because we’re living in a time that we have abused sugar for a long time it’s been available in so many products so we’re in a time where we got to make more careful and the more you learn about what fructose does to us and how it feeds cancer and cancer we’ll take advantage you know from your diet because it comes from food but I want to say so many times I’ve seen people that have got to our diet and and have shown amazing improvement and then they’ve had this big emotional stress and symptoms and numbers came rising all the way back so you know learning how to deal with life’s events and stresses – is really really important research is wonderful I

Reverse Diabetes

think it’s just great but you know the most important thing that I can tell you is over the nearly half a century that I’ve done my work I’ve seen thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people reverse type 2 diabetes shame on you if you do not reverse type 2 diabetes as a matter of fact when people come through the program and they are diagnosed with that and their insulin is high we see rapidly 50 60 percent of those people within the three-week period come off or not need insulin the most dangerous thing that we do at Epocrates our medical team has to watch these people like a hawk is have them checked with glucometers two three four times a day to make sure that the doctors there and then when they get home the physicians reduce our insulin or if you continue to take insulin when you don’t need it you go into shock so that’s number one and I can tell you 100% of everyone so if I see them a year later and they say I’m still a diabetic they’re not doing what they should be doing they’re just not doing what they should be doing this is a non-issue this is a non-issue and I’ll give you a story several years ago we have a local fella in West Palm Beach that’s a renowned diabetic expert and he has people fly in from all over the world to see him because he’s he’s renowned for putting people on insulin and watching them and making sure that they don’t have as many episodes of blindness and you know exhuming their arms and legs and fingers and all the horrible things that have heart attacks etc he probably minimizes it by a small percentage so his patients kept saying we’ve got to go to Hippocrates we had to go to Hippocrates because they’d meet people that came to us applied the program went home and healed diabetes so reluctantly he finally had to do it he brought a whole load in and we had a little tiny room and we packed in 200 people and it was one of those magical nights that I was ready to talk and I would have done a good job but not as good as what happened there was a woman who just graduated the program the Friday before this was a Tuesday and she kept pulling my pants leg and say let me talk let me talk and I didn’t know if she could talk or what she’d say so I said okay I’ll give you five minutes well I turned the entire night over to her he spoke for 45 minutes I spoke for 15 minutes and she got up and she said do you know I was a diabetic for 28 years I was full blast on insulin my eyesight was going I had neuropathy I pain the bottom of my feet constantly and I kept taking more drugs for that all of the time and eight days after I came the Epocrates I was off insulin by the second week 14 days I no longer had pain in my legs and she got up and she did a little dance for about a minute there and the people were just completely shocked what they said they actually thought I had paid an actress to come and make that story up and of course the people who understood Epocrates in the group in the back were cheering and saying this is wonderful so after we left I had to leave early and she left early the doctors stood up and said now remember everything that you heard is at a total there’s no scientific research to back this this is the problem we have today we have institutionalized corruption going on we’re willing to let people at pain suffering die have heart attacks strokes kidney disorders for profit and that’s what we’re talking about here it’s no less or no more than that now we can dice the words and try to be polite and try to be nice but the bottom line is this is horrible horrible that people are suffering horrible that our children are suffering now type 2 diabetes are hitting five and six and seven-year-old kids it used to take sixty years of bad living now in the womb the poor child is getting fast food when they get out they’re given what condensed milk or worse than that you know formulas and what is that the number one ingredient in the organic formula is sugar go out and look at the health store it’s junk food the best one that’s called organic bogus Lee Cold War guy that will give you diabetes and then to top it all off to celiacs disease we talk about when are we going to just wake up and do something about this stuff we can sit around and dice words play games be polite and act professional I’m pissed off at this done this should make you angry everyone listening in the world should be angry and you should go to your government officials and demand better because if we don’t do this this is going to wipe out and kill millions and millions and millions of people worldwide no question I want to add something because I shared

Carlos Story

in my first lecture my experience with a man named Carlos who was on 40 units of insulin and 17 pills a day I had of course type 2 diabetes peripheral artery disease he had just had a major heart attack his kidneys were failing he had chronic gout and he was told by his physician he had 2 years to live at most he needed to get his affairs in order and he was also told by his physician that his diseases were progressive and irreversible and there was nothing that he could do about it and when Carlos started on a plant-based diet and got off all his insulin and all his medication reversed all of his diseases he went back to that physician and he said to that physician why did you not tell me this was possible you know years ago I suffered so much and the doctor looked at him and said Carlos I’m sorry I just didn’t know it was possible and he said I honestly wouldn’t have believed it if you would have told me it was possible but he said I’ve seen it and I know now you have the power to move your physicians your dietitians simply by your example and and you need to have the courage to go in and share what is happening with your health with them because I think most of our physicians really do care and they want to help they want you to heal they want you to get better they just don’t know any different they don’t learn about these things in medical school but many of them will be open and so we really need to not be afraid to share with them

Outro

you have to remember that you are the boss and a lot of times you’re intimidated by authorities to tell you what you can do and and when you can and you know and so so what happens for example Gabriel the scene that we see it every day that when you take the step and you change lifestyle and you change your attitude about what’s so important in the foods because like you know for us now I think for all of us food is not so food is our fuel so that we can do good things and be what we want and have the health that we want but it’s become this big or me things and and there’s shows on TV and this and that and we’re all like oh my god and and it’s it’s like as if God didn’t make food perfect and we have to make it perfect you know
