How I Got Rid of Diabetes Naturally

My Story:
Remembering back to 1994, when I was first diagnosed with diabetes, it amuses me how awful everything seemed then. When I was only nine years old, our family doctor informed my parents that unless I began taking insulin shots immediately, adverse health problems would be imminent. My world crumbled as I dove into self-pity. This was a place where my mind brought me misery and pain. Thoughts such as “why me?” and “what did I do to deserve this?” plagued me without end! No longer was I going to be a normal boy! I was to carry my disability until the day I died, which unfortunately was going to be a lot sooner than I had hoped.
The months following my diagnosis were not particularly cheery. I remember my mother meticulously picking through the abundant world of commercialized diets in hopes of finding a way to manage diabetes naturally. We began experimenting with SlimFasts, macrobiotics, Ayurveda, cutting out sugar, reducing meat consumption, not eating bread, eating lots of whole wheat bread– nothing seemed to help! On the rare occasion that I stumbled upon something that made a difference in my blood sugar levels, it either proved unfruitful in the long term or did not have the results I was seeking. (more…)
