Along comes Dr Jason Fung, a young nephrologist from Canada, and simply explains how short term fasting can reverse and cure the common diabetes (adult onset; Type II)! And he makes so much common sense, explaining that insulin itself is the problem and trying as much to reduce its output - is the new and best way to go.
That's the very opposite of what conventional medicine asserts. Turns out, giving insulin not only defeats the purpose, and eventually taking more and more is the usual routine, but this hormone is the very reason for damage to the diabetic body, and thus must be minimized. It's not the high glucose that causes the body damage!
And what do you know?! Lo and behold, we now have complete cures thereby, by nothing more complicated than intermittent fasting. Not starving; Fasting! Not just that; In a matter of weeks or months!
You can find him on Youtube, or read one of his two books.
I hurry to add, after having read his 3rd book on Cancer, that it was a disappointing read. It was a history of allopathic advances in cancer, which amounts to zero. I believe Dr Fung should stick to the treatment of diabetics and obesity, where he excels, and if he wants to understand cancer, he ought to look into folks like Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, Dr. Gaston Naessens, Dr. Mirko Beljanski, Jim Humble, Dr. Max Gerson, Dr. Royal Rife, Dr. Andreas Kalcker, etc. Obviously he's only researched journals in conventional (lousy) medicine and thus never came across such names as I mention here. Or, out of fear of losing his job, he took the easy way out - to write another "best seller". A good mind too can go to waste.
P.S. A book I recently discovered, but haven't read, called Syndrome X is another doctor's cure of diabetes.
