Literally on my way to dying from Type 2 Diabetes, I had been searching nearly 2 years for a natural cure. When I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, my Primary Care Physician recommended multiple diabetes medications, insulin, and a keto type diet. He stated that diabetes is a progressive disease, worse than cancer, and he reinforced that there is no cure for it. Unable to take any of the medications, my diabetes wasn't getting much better despite rigorous exercising and even intermittent fasting. My doctor fired me for being "non-compliant." Then I discovered the power of the whole food plant-based diet. After adopting this lifestyle, I reversed my Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and lost over 70 pounds. The health benefits of plant-based eating are proven by research-backed data by many physicians, notably Dr. Neal Barnard, Founder and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases are the #1 cause of death annually, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. There are over 422 million people around the world with type 2 diabetes which leads to serious health issues like heart disease, kidney failure, dialysis, blindness, limb amputations, death. The global obesity epidemic shows more than 1 billion overweight adults, at least 300 million of them obese. Obesity is a major risk factor for chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease, HTN, stroke, and certain cancers. The health benefits of plant-based eating can prevent, treat, and often reverse these deadly diseases. I share my personal journey, tell you how you can take charge of your health with this lifestyle, and encourage all physicians to learn about plant-based eating so they can offer it to their patients as the primary avenue to prevent, treat, and even cure their diseases. Special chapter on how to boost your immune system against COVID-19. Together, we can win the war on global diseases!
