Reverse Diabetes

The inspirational documentary Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 days follows the thirty day diabetes reversal journey of six people from different states around the country. They had applied and were chosen (out of hundreds of applicants) to participate in the Simply Raw documentary’s 30-day challenge to REVERSE type 2 diabetes naturally, lower blood pressure, and reduce or eliminate the diabetes drugs, insulin, and blood pressure drugs.

Read on for their Before and After 30 days diabetes reversal results, and watch the documentary (free) below!

The Simply Raw 30-Day Diabetes Reversal Program

The Simply Raw diabetes reversal documentary introduces each of the participants in their home towns, and then follows their dramatic results over the course of 30 days at a natural healing center in a beautiful setting in Arizona, surrounded by mountain ranges in the distance.

The Premise of the 30-Day Simply Raw Diabetes Reversal Challenge

(1) The six participants in the diabetes-reversal challenge would eat the delicious, healthy, raw fiber-rich plant-based meals that would be prepared for them daily, three times a day.

(2) They could eat as much as they liked at each of the three meals each day.

(3) The switch to healthy whole food (in this case, raw) plant-based foods would be all it takes to reduce or eliminate all or most of the drugs/insulin, (as well as, in most cases, reduce or eliminate blood pressure pills).

“Before” Blood Work/Blood Pressure/Numbers

On the first day, each of the participants had all of their blood work run and their blood pressure recorded, etc. to establish the “Before” numbers for each participant.

Gentle Physical Exercise/Walking/Yoga/Outings + Raw Foods Preparation Classes

During the 30 days at the retreat center, the participants also went out hiking and walking, and did some yoga classes together.

They attended cooking classes to learn how to prepare delicious raw plant-based meals, including plant-based deserts.

The Program: 3 Meals a Day, All-You-Can-Eat, Delicious Raw Plant-Foods

The Simply Raw participants ate lots of fiber-filled delicious raw fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, as well as avocado. They also had delicious raw plant-based deserts including creamy chocolate deserts. No meat, no dairy, no sugar, no processed foods, no cooked grains, no caffeine. Nothing cooked at a temperature higher than 118 degrees.

Diabetes Reversal Testimonials from the Simply Raw Documentary Participants: Before and After 30 Days

The Simply Raw: Reverse Diabetes in 30 Days documentary’s six participants each are from different parts of the United States. The participants included Kirt Tyson, 25 years old, of Baltmore, Maryland; Bill, age 58, of Longbeach, California; Pam, age 62, of Sarasota, Florida; Michelle, age 36, of New York City, New York; Henry, age 58 of Reno, Nevada; and Austin, age 25, a type 1 diabetic from Rockford, Michigan.

On their first day of the challenge, the participants were told by the doctors overseeing the program, “We specifically selected people who aren’t familiar with this way of life [raw, whole food plant-based nutrition], so we could show that everyone can do this. So you play an incredibly important role, not just for yourself, but for all of those other people you are going to inspire.”

They had amazing results beginning in just days after switching to whole food plant-based foods in the Simply Raw challenge. Only one participant, Henry, did not complete the challenge (despite having excellent results in lowering his blood sugar and losing weight, he left after around 17 days).

Kirt Tyson, age 25, of Baltimore, Maryland

Kirt Tyson had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes earlier that year, after an emergency room visit and hospital ICU three-day stay resulting from his previously undiagnosed diabetes. (Kirt’s medical doctors later reviewed his earlier medical records and determined that he had previously been misdiagnosed as type 2, and should have been diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic.)

Kirt’s Commitment: “Whatever it Takes.”

From the beginning Kirt was committed 100% to making the necessary changes to reverse his diabetes.

I have always dreamed of living to be 102. That’s one of my goals. So to hear that, already, being so young [at age 25], being diagnosed with something that has a major impact on your heath, it took me for a loop and just made me think that there is so much more that I have to do….So my main thing is just getting back to being healthy and that I STAY healthy. Whatever it takes to get that done, I am WILLING to make that sacrifice.”

– Kirt Tyson, Simply Raw documentary at @2:53 to 3:15.]

Kirt’s mindset, being committed to doing “whatever it takes,” is an important key to his success in reversing his diabetes.

Compare (and contrast) Kirt’s mindset with what Henry said before he began the Simply Raw challenge. Henry’s mindset reflected his results, too. Henry said before arriving in Arizona, “So if this program works for me, hey, I don’t care if Joe Blow can’t handle it, which he might not be able to. Maybe I can, maybe I can’t … maybe someone else can handle it better than I can. It’s just one of those things we are going to have to find out.” – Henry, Simply Raw at 10:52.

“Maybe I can, maybe I can’t” is not the mindset to get the results you want. Despite making dramatic improvements — Henry quit after only a few weeks.

Instead of “Maybe I can,” tell yourself, “I know I can.”
Remember the children’s story, The Little Engine That Could?
Believing “I think I can, I think I can” quickly turns into “I know I can, I know I can” and then you have gotten over that mountain.

Similarly, from the beginning Pam recognized how important commitment and being willing to do what it takes to change is the key to reversing diabetes. Reflecting on the upcoming 30-day diabetes reversal challenge, Pam said, “I want to see how my body is going to react to the change, and to see if it’s really going to help to control my diabetes. But that takes work, and I’ve got to decide if I really want to work for it.” – Pam, Simply Raw at 11:12.

100% Commitment to Reversing Type 2 Diabetes & Your Health for Life

Commitment to changing and doing “whatever it takes,” as Kirt put it, is key.

If you waver, remind yourself about all of the reasons WHY you are committed to making this change.

When Michelle wavered and convinced herself that she wanted to quit (in the first week or so), Kirt reminded her to remember WHY she had committed to making these changes in the first place. Kirt helped Michelle to focus on her reasons for joining the challenge in the first place, especially so that she could be at her best for herself, her son and her husband. That is what it took for Michelle to re-commit, and stay committed, so that she also was able to reverse her diabetes and get off all of the medications in under 30 days.

Kirt’s Results – Before and After the Simply Raw 30 Day Diabetes Reversal Challenge

After only two weeks Kirt’s blood sugar had dropped 214 points to 73 (normal) without medication. Kirt Tyson was off all of the diabetes medications and off the insulin in under 30 days.

After the documentary, Kirt (who already had a B.S. in biology from Morehouse University) went back to school to become a naturopathic doctor, in order to help others reverse diabetes naturally. He founded and runs a naturopathic health clinic in Washington, DC. He is an impressive person and has achieved a great deal at a young age.

Bill, 58, of Longbeach, California

When we first meet Bill in the Simply Raw documentary, he was suffering from type 2 diabetes along with neuropathy and also was seeing a cardiologist for heart problems. He wanted to improve his health to be there for his wife and son.

As Bill is introduced, we see him shopping at an Italian deli, and then sharing a meal with his family. He talked about the central social role that food and communal meals have in the welcoming tradition of Italian families:

When I was growing up the Italian people were always saying, ‘Mangia, Mangia!’ [‘Eat, Eat!’] Food was a very precious thing, the greatest gift they could give to their family and friends…. My wife is such a good cook, she cooks just like in the Old Country…”

– Bill, Simply Raw

On the other hand, Bill also talked about how dangerous and debilitating his type 2 diabetes and neuropathy, as well as his heart conditions, have been, as a result of eating the standard Western diet.

As Bill described his health at the beginning of the documentary,

About 10 years ago I went to my cardiologist, [due to
a hypertension problem] and [my doctor told me, “You are borderline type 2 diabetic.”] and I heard the word ‘diabetes’ and I had no idea how DEVASTATING this is to your LIFE. – Bill, Simply Raw at 4:06, with drugs lined up all along the full length of the bathroom shelves in the background.

Bill continued,

You have no idea how devastating this is to your life. …
The consequences, I mean, my God, it affects every organ system:
your vision,
your kidneys,
sexual dysfunction,
and the other things,
[including] neuropathy in the feet …. My feet slowly became NUMB.”- – Bill, Simply Raw at 4:02 – 4:12

At the beginning of the documentary, Bill talked about how he had accidentally burned his foot badly (third degree burns) due to the neuropathy. He did’t even feel his foot burning, but instead smelled the burning flesh, literally cooking (as he described it). Due to the neuropathy he couldn’t feel his foot at all; another severe health danger related to type 2 diabetes.

He also talked about he always ate a lot and whatever he wanted and that food was a kind of pacifier for him.

But upon learning about the Simply Raw 30 day program, he was ready to commit.

If this will cure me in a MONTH from diabetes, [BIG SMILE], Oh Lord! I would love to tell the world about that, absolutely.”

– Bill, Simply Raw

Bill seemed to have a great, supportive attitude throughout the 30-day challenge in the documentary.

He often expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to change his life by doing the Simply Raw challenge, as well as his amazement and joy at the quick reversal of his type 2 diabetes as well as weight loss in under 30 days.

He also happily celebrated his co-participant’s dramatic health changes, too.

Bill’s Results – Before and After the Simply Raw 30 Day Diabetes Reversal Challenge

In only 4 days, Bill had stopped taking 19 medications.

By the second week, Bill’s blood sugar had dropped 205 points down to 88, well within the normal range, without medication.

After two weeks, he had lost 25 pounds.

In under 30 days, he had lost 32 pounds, and his blood sugar had dropped 214 points down to to 74 (normal range), without any diabetes medication or insulin.

Pam, 62, of Sarasota, Florida

“Aunt Pam” (as she was affectionately nicknamed by her co-participants in the documentary) is a devoted mother, grandmother and wife who was suffering with type 2 diabetes, and searching for a solution.

Pam’s father had type 2 diabetes, and her brother and sister also are diabetic, and Pam believes that the way they all ate contributed to causing their diabetes.

Pam’s Results – Before and After the Simply Raw 30 Day Diabetes Reversal Challenge

Pam’s blood sugar dropped 167 points down to 112, without medication.

Pam also lost 26 pounds.

When she returned back home after the challenge, her medical doctor in Florida seemed amazed by her results, and he quipped, “How do we ship all of my patients to Arizona?”

A better question: How do we share with everyone — including many more medical doctors — the power of whole-food plant-based foods to prevent and reverse diabetes? How do we share the power of whole food plant-based foods to prevent and reverse heart disease, and many other illnesses and diseases that result from eating the standard American diet? Sharing this information through testimonials of people who have reversed type 2 diabetes is the mission of reversediabetes2.com.

Michelle, 36, of New York City, New York

Michelle is a mother and wife who struggled with her weight and type 2 diabetes, as well as having used food as an emotional comfort since her childhood. She was motivated to join the Simply Raw challenge for herself, for her son and her husband.

There is so much that I want to do, but I am being held back, first by my diabetes and my health.” – Michelle, Simply Raw at 5:30.

Upon arriving in Arizona for the Simply Raw challenge, Michelle seemed to enjoy the delicious raw whole food plant-based challenge meals.

However, Michelle almost gave up after a week or so for a number of reasons. She was disappointed in her results after the first couple of days, because they weren’t as dramatic right away as the other participants’ immediate results seemed to be. (As she stuck with the challenge, her results quickly mirrored the excellent results of her co-participants.)

Michele also was missing her 10-year-old son and her husband who were back at home in New York.

Kirt and others helped to convince her to remember the reasons why she had signed up for the challenge in the first place, and she stayed.

Michelle’s Results – Before and After the Simply Raw 30 Day Diabetes Reversal Challenge

Within only two weeks, Michelle’s blood sugar had dropped 121 points without medication.

By the end of the challenge, Michelle had stopped taking all of her medications and lost 23 pounds.

Her blood sugar dropped from 291 down to 109, and she was off the diabetes medications and insulin.

Michelle, also mentioned that she had previously had some lumps in her breast for over 15 years, but within a few weeks of eating the raw plant-based diet during the Simply Raw 30-day challenge, the lumps were gone and her breast now was completely smooth.

Henry, 68, of Reno, Nevada

The switch to raw plant-based nutrition was more challenging for Henry than for the other participants. Henry disliked the raw plant-based foods (seemingly more so on a psychological level) and was the only participant not to stay with the challenge for the full 30 days.

At the beginning of the documentary, Henry took insulin plus nine medications daily. His blood sugar was at 464 (even while taking the diabetes medications, his blood sugar was that high on day 1).

By day 12, Henry’s blood sugar had dropped 256 points down to 208, without using medications. He had gotten off 17 different pills plus insulin.

By the time Henry left the challenge (day 17), his numbers and his health had improved dramatically: he was no longer taking 17 medications, he had lost 30 pounds, and his blood pressure had decreased. But he still left.

Earlier in the documentary Henry had talked about how his grandmother suffered from type 2 diabetes and amputations of both her feet, then amputations of her legs up to the knees, and more, and died as a result of the type 2 diabetes. Despite what happened to his grandmother as a result of type 2 diabetes, and despite Henry’s excellent results after only two weeks, he still left.

It’s worth emphasizing that this film and 30-Day challenge used only raw plant-based foods, which is far more restrictive than a whole food plant-based diet would be.

More recent films like Forks Over Knives, What the Health, and Plant Pure Nation, (links below) among many others, show that a much broader whole food plant-based lifestyle can reverse diabetes type 2 quickly and naturally in a short time, with a much greater variety of food choices than just raw plant foods.

It is likely that someone like Henry, who seems to have had a hard time with the sudden switch to solely raw plant-based foods, could acclimate much better and easier to the many kinds of filling, delicious foods in the greater/broader universe of whole food plant-based foods.

LEARN MORE below about raw plant-based foods and the broader foods available in a whole food plant-based diet that also can reverse type 2 diabetes quickly.

Austin, 25 years old, of Rockford, Michigan

Austin had been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes as a child. In the documentary, Austin described to his documentary roommate, Kirt, how he “almost died when he was 11” due to previously-undiagnosed juvenile diabetes, and had to begin taking insulin shots daily.

By his mid-twenties (25 years old at the time of the documentary), he also had the added challenge of struggling with alcohol, which was even more dangerous for Austin due to his type 1 diabetes.

Austin’s Results – Before and After the Simply Raw 30 Day Diabetes Reversal Challenge

Austin, who is type 1 diabetic, lost 20 pounds and reduced his insulin from 70 units down to 5, a major improvement for his health.

Additional Benefits, in addition to Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

The switch to raw plant-based foods / whole food plant-based also has many other health benefits, as evidenced by the dramatic improvement in the Simply Raw 30-Day Challenge participants’ blood work/blood pressure numbers, and by their testimonials about how great they began to feel, very quickly, upon making this nutritional change.

Challenge participants also described greatly increased clarity and energy, in addition to substantial weight loss.

Some participants (in a subtle, polite way) alluded to the power of whole food plant-based foods to reverse erectile dysfunction, in addition to reversing high blood pressure and heart disease. Michelle had had lumps in her breast for more than 15 years, which disappeared after only a few weeks during the challenge.

Kirt reported that he gained two pounds of muscle by the end of the 30 day raw plant-food diabetes reversal challenge.

Simply Raw Featured Interviews: Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Tony Robbins, Dr. Michael Beckwith, Morgan Spurlock and Woody Harrelson

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days also features inspirational interview segments about improving health and healing type 2 diabetes with Dr. Joel Fuhrman, world-class personal achievement coach Tony Robbins, minister and author Dr. Michael Beckwith, film producer Morgan Spurlock (director of the film, Supersize Me), and actor Woody Harrelson.

Morgan Spurlock, film producer, Super Size Me set the tone for one of the themes of the Simply Raw documentary:

We have become so pharmaceuticalized… that [using] anything different, like, just healthy foods [instead of drugs], is like [being] a “witch doctor”

– Morgan Spurlock, (laughing), Simply Raw at 20 min..

Important Note: A Whole Food Plant-Based Lifestyle also Can Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally in Many Cases — with far more food options than solely “raw” plant foods

Again, one major point to note when watching the Simply Raw film is that their 30-day challenge was restricted to only raw plant-foods. One of the participants, Henry (who ended up quitting at around 2 weeks), seemed to have a psychological aversion simply to eating healthy natural unprocessed foods, especially “cold turkey” (so to speak), directly from eating very unhealthfully for decades, possibly for most or all of his life.

It is possible (even likely) that Henry, or someone who has what seems like a psychological aversion to healthy raw natural unprocessed foods, would do much better eating the larger selections and kinds of foods available in a whole food plant-based diet — not restricted just to raw plant-foods — and still get excellent results in reversing type 2 diabetes, quickly (often reducing or eliminating diabetes drugs within days or weeks, under close medical supervision of their medical doctor).

In a broad brush stroke, raw plant-based foods can be described as a subset of healthy delicious whole food plant-based nutrition. However, with the “raw” aspect (nothing cooked higher than 118 degrees) there are fewer menu/recipe options than with whole food plant-based nutrition that is not restricted to only raw foods.

Whole food plant-based nutrition (not restricted to just the “raw” subset) can have the same results in terms of quickly reversing type 2 diabetes as would the raw subset of uncooked fruits and vegetables. The raw plant-based foods subset of delicious fiber-filled vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, is part of a whole food plant-based diet, along with the addition of soaked & cooked beans, cooked grains, baked foods, and other menu items that are cooked above 118 degrees (such as plant-based soups, chili, veggie burgers, grains, and many other plant-based foods that are not solely “raw.”)

A whole foods plant-based diet that is not exclusively “raw” has more diverse menu options available, yet still, many whole foods plant-based foods are by their nature raw in the first place (abundant salads, raw veggies, fruit, fruit-and-veg smoothies, nuts, seeds and many more).

By way of example (and contrast), the participants in the documentary PlantPure Nation who eat the PlantPure prepared meals in the Mebane, NC segment of that documentary clearly enjoy the delicious, wide range of whole food plant-based foods, and they all had extraordinary results in their blood work after only 10 days eating the delicious PlantPure whole food plant-based foods.

A broad selection of whole food plant-based foods like the foods enjoyed in Forks Over Knives, and PlantPure Nation can be easier for many people to adapt to initially, rather than switching to solely raw plant foods straight from an unhealthy standard Western diet.

You can find the entire step-by-step plan for delicious, whole food plant-based nutrition, along with recipes in the companion books to Forks Over Knives, and in the companion cookbook to PlantPure Nation.

If you want to make the kinds of changes that the successful participants in the Simply Raw documentary made, you can jump-start your own journey to reclaim your health in only SEVEN days in the free online Engine2 Seven Day Health Rescue Challenge.

Take the Engine2 7-Day Health Rescue Challenge

Before taking the Engine2 Seven Day Health Rescue Challenge (free online), read the companion book, The Seven Day Health Rescue Challenge. For additional inspiration, read about Joseph Alexander’s type 2 diabetes reversal testimonial.

When Joseph Alexander started the 7-Day Health Rescue Challenge, he weighed around 400 pounds and his blood sugar was close to 500 WHILE taking the maximum dosages of diabetes drugs.

By Day 2 of the 7-Day Rescue Challenge, his blood sugar already was already down to normal levels. He got off all of the diabetes medications, has now lost more than 152 pounds (after a year and a half of eating this way). Within a year he had begun running marathons. In June 2018 (less than a year and a half after he took the 7-Day Health Rescue Challenge), Joseph Alexander ran in a 15 mile marathon, with steep inclines up a Colorado mountain, in Leadville, CO at the June 2018 Leadville Heavy Half Marathon.

Read more about how Joseph Alexander reversed his type 2 diabetes with a whole food plant-based foods here.
In addition to the 7-Day Rescue Challenge, Joseph was inspired by the documentary film, Forks Over Knives.

Read Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s book, The End of Diabetes

If you want to get started right away to learn what it takes to reverse type 2 diabetes naturally, with step-by-step guidance and recipes, read the book The End of Diabetes by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.

There are more than a thousand 5-star reviews on Amazon.com for The End of Diabetes, testimonials from people who reversed their type 2 diabetes as a result of reading The End of Diabetes and applying it, switching to whole food plant-based nutrition. Check out some of these testimonials for inspiration from people who reversed their type 2 diabetes after reading Dr. Fuhrman’s book, The End of Diabetes.

As with any diet and lifestyle change, and as described in Dr. Fuhrman’s books, it is important to consult with your medical doctor/under close supervision so that when and to the extent you no longer need the diabetes drugs or other drugs, your medical doctor can reduce or eliminate the drugs when and to the extent they are no longer needed. As described in The End of Diabetes, it would be very dangerous to continue taking diabetes drugs when and to the extent they are no longer needed.

Changing your health destiny is a choice, not only to reverse type 2 diabetes naturally, but also to prevent cancer and prevent or reverse heart disease, auto-immune diseases and many others, all from switching to whole food plant-based foods.

Read more details about Kirt Tysons’s health journey, reversing his diabetes as part of the Simply Raw documentary challenge, becoming a naturopathic doctor, and founding/running a naturopathic health center in Washington, DC.

As of December 31, 2016, Joseph Alexander weighed 394 pounds and was suffering with type 2 diabetes.

He also had been suffering for a long time from recurring cellulitis, a dangerous bacterial infection of the skin and tissues beneath the skin.

In a recent interview in the Big Change the Film interview series (watch the video below), he describes himself as having been significantly overweight since high school and for all of his adult life, despite having been a slender child. He gained 40 pounds in the first year of college, and continued gaining weight year after year. He had tried for many years to diet and exercise, without success.

A FEW DAYS LATER, suddenly, a switch flipped.

In January 2017, Joseph was again looking for a solution to lose weight and improve his health, when he re-watched the documentary Forks Over Knives, and then found the (free) online 7 Day Rescue Challenge.

As a biochemist and registered nurse (with master’s degrees in both fields), he wondered, how could dramatic health changes happen in only seven days?

He also thought to himself: I can do this for seven days. A person could “stand on one leg” for just seven days, if the incentive and motivation are worth it. Interview (from the “Big Change the Film” interview series) below at @20:52.

He joined the 7 Day Rescue Challenge.

He describes his light switch moment as not only deciding to join the 7 Day Rescue Challenge, but in accepting full responsibility for his own health destiny, and deciding to commit 100%, unfailingly, for one week.

At the time he began the challenge, he was taking the maximum dosages of diabetes medications, but EVEN WITH the diabetes medications his blood sugar was at 250-450 … His blood sugar levels were THAT high while he was ON the diabetes drugs.
(A normal range would be 70-100 or a little over 100.)

BEFORE the 7-Day Rescue Challenge

The night before he began the 7-day Rescue Challenge, these were his numbers (while ON the highest dosage of diabetes medications):

Weight: 394
Blood Sugar: 458
A1C: 9.7

He followed the Seven Day Rescue Challenge diet to the letter.

TWO DAYS LATER

Blood Sugar: 110
In only two days after he began eating this way his blood sugar went from 458 down to 110!

AFTER the 7-Day Rescue Challenge

Within two days his blood sugar was in the normal range.

Within 6 weeks of starting this way of eating, his hemoglobin A1C had dropped down to 6.3, in the normal range.

In monitoring his results, his medical doctor took him off all of the medications.

At first, Joseph was worried that his numbers would shoot up again when he stopped the medications, but they didn’t. His A1C and his blood sugar remained perfectly normal.

After the Seven Day Rescue Challenge he has continued to eat this way, and ever since, his blood sugar and his A1C continue to be in the normal range.

Joseph has lost more than 152 pounds as a result of taking the challenge since he switched to whole food plant-based foods with no added oils, and continues to lose weight.

Seven days has turned into more than 550 days, and he is still going strong.

Commit 100% for Life-Changing Results

Joseph Alexander’s advice to others who are in a similar situation, overweight, suffering from type 2 diabetes, and other illnesses directly related to eating the standard Western food: You have got to do this 100%.

Do yourself a favor and don’t make it much harder on yourself by thinking you can just go “80%” or “90%.”

He explains in the interview (below) that because food is so addictive, having “just one bite” of something that you know is unhealthy takes you back to ground zero, and then the downward spiral continues. You have got to commit 100%, and then it’s actually much easier to succeed. When you commit 100% you benefit from the confidence – and the testimonials of so many others who have reversed their type 2 diabetes eating this way – of knowing what your results can be.

Take Ownership

In the interview (below), Joseph emphasizes that it doesn’t matter why you are overweight, whether you are 30 pounds overweight, or 100 pounds overweight, or more. He emphasizes that a key to success in this is to take ownership and accept responsibility for changing.

Joseph points out that people might say, for example:
‘I’m overweight because of the kind of childhood I had’,
or ‘I’m overweight because of the environment I lived in/live in’, or
‘I’m overweight because of the job I have’. (Interview video below at 40:06).

Those things may be very true, but UNTIL I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for being the person who can make the change, the change is not going to happen. I know for myself, and I know this advice seems to help a lot of people, [accepting and saying:] ‘I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN MAKE THIS CHANGE HAPPEN.’

That’s a big difference. For me that was part of what made that switch FLIP.

It doesn’t matter why I am the way I am; it doesn’t matter what other people are doing.”

(emphasis added, interview video below at 40:40).

Watch Joseph Alexander’s full interview with Jason Cohen (who also is an exceptional inspiration) in the Big Change the Film interview series here:

Support From Others Who Have Successfully Reversed their Type 2 Diabetes

In addition to the Engine 2 Seven Day Rescue Challenge, back in January 2017 Joseph Alexander also signed up for the challenge’s (then-fledgling) Facebook group.

At the time, there were several hundred members. By May 2018 there were already more than 30,000 members in the 7 Day Rescue Challenge Facebook group.

Joseph remains a member of the group, and he offers great advice and often replies to other member’s questions about his own experience in reversing his type 2 diabetes very quickly, losing more than 152 pounds, and still losing weight toward his goal weight.

He continues to lose weight (with a goal of losing an additional 80 to 90 pounds).

 

Additional Weight Loss Support and Camaraderie Through Running

At the time Joseph was making these changes in the foods he ate, no longer eating the standard Western diet, but instead committed 100% to eating whole food plant-based foods with no oil added, he did not imagine that in the coming months he would take up running and become an athlete.

Through the Seven Day Rescue Challenge Facebook group, Joseph learned about and joined another very supportive and inspirational Facebook group, the “Missing Chins Run Club”, which at the time had 50 or 60 members. Now Missing Chins has become another excellent source of support, with its members accomplishing dramatic weight loss, reversing type 2 diabetes, and regaining their health, through switching to whole food plant-based foods (no added oils) as well as running.

Less than a year and a half after beginning the 7 day rescue challenge, Joseph Alexander now runs in Marathons

In the year after completing the initial Seven Day Rescue Challenge and changing his eating to WFPB / plant-strong foods, Joseph not only was inspired to begin running (thanks to his supportive friends online at the Missing Chins Run Club), he has competed in numerous marathon running races, both in the US and in Europe (Czech Republic).

In June 2018, a year and a half after beginning the Seven Day Rescue Challenge, he competed in the Leadville Trail Heavy Half Marathon, running 15.5 miles from 10,200 feet up to over 13,000 feet, and then back to the town of Leadville, Colorado. He has already signed up to run in the 2019 Leadville Marathon (which adds an additional 11 miles and several more peaks into the race). Read more details about Joseph Alexander’s experience in the June 2018 Leadville Trail Heavy Half Marathon in this interview over at Engine2.com.

Joseph was Inspired to Change by Watching the Forks Over Knives Documentary and its Testimonials from People Who Have Reversed their Type 2 Diabetes

Joseph mentioned in the interview (watch above) that he had watched the Forks Over Knives documentary in the past, but it hadn’t quite gotten him to the point of switching to whole food plant-based foods with 100% commitment.

But he remembered the Forks Over Knives documentary and watched it again at the beginning of January 2017, which led him to visit the Forks Over Knives website and then Rip Esselstyn’s Engine 2 website, where he discovered the free online Seven Day Rescue Challenge, (along with the Facebook group) and committed to doing the challenge 100% for the full seven days.

The seven day challenge led to his blood sugar testing in the normal range after only TWO DAYS, reversal of his type 2 diabetes, A1C in the normal range, off the diabetes drugs completely in under six weeks, 152 pounds lost and still losing more weight, and now, running in marathons.

If you or someone you care about wants to reverse type 2 diabetes and commit to taking back control of your own health destiny, follow Joseph Alexander’s example.

You too can change your health destiny. What do you have to lose? What will you gain?

Testimonials from people who themselves have reversed their type 2 diabetes are among the most powerful sources of inspiration for anyone who wants to reverse type 2 diabetes naturally, or in solidarity, help someone they care about to reverse type 2 diabetes.

The documentary film Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days (available to view, free, below) includes first-hand testimonials about the power of whole food plant-based foods (and in this case, raw plant-based foods) to heal the body and, in many cases, reverse type 2 diabetes naturally, in a short period of time.

Kirt Tyson is one of six diabetics featured in the documentary, and he is an inspirational person both in the documentary, and in his achievements since then.

The film Simply Raw documented the 30-day health transformations of the participants, in most cases reversing diabetes and eliminating diabetes drugs and insulin.

Kirt Tyson’s Journey from Reversing his Diabetes Naturally to Becoming a Naturopathic Doctor to Help Others Transform their Health

Kirt Tyson accepted the 30-day diabetes reversal challenge in Simply Raw, and he reversed his diabetes in under thirty days, naturally, and got off the diabetes drugs and insulin.

Kirt’s blood sugar tested at over 1,200 (!) (in the E.R. and hospital ICU) when he was first diagnosed with diabetes.

When we first meet 26-year-old Kirt in the film, he described how he learned he had diabetes after he started having to go to the bathroom frequently. He also felt terrible and had blurry vision. He ended up going to the E.R., where the doctor told him that his blood sugar tested at over 1,200. Over ONE THOUSAND! Kirt said the E.R./hospital ICU doctor told him that up to 80-100 or so is normal, but at 1,200 he “should be dead.”

That was the beginning of the diabetes drugs and insulin shots for Kirt, but he hated the drugs and shots and wanted to find a different solution. He said he had tried counting calories, counting carbs, but it didn’t help, and he was struggling to find something that would work to lower his blood sugar naturally.

He wanted to choose a different health destiny, other than a lifetime of diabetes drugs and shots, so he was open to the “Simply Raw 30-Day Challenge” and applied to be a part of the film documentary.

Kirt made a dramatic health transformation and was off the insulin and drugs in under 30 days.

After only two weeks, Kirt had already lowered his blood sugar 213 points, down to 73, without medication. After 30 days, his lab results showed that his blood sugar remained completely normal without medication.

At the beginning of the film (at his home and grocery shopping, and visiting his sister’s home in Baltimore, MD before the challenge began), Kirt already looked fit, slender, and lean. He didn’t seem to have the more overweight body type of a type 2 diabetic. But he had been on insulin and diabetes drugs for several years. He was first diagnosed with diabetes when he ended up in the emergency room and was hospitalized due to dangerous symptoms he had experienced from previously undiagnosed diabetes.

Kirt mentioned at the end of the film that after the challenge, his doctors back home took another look at his previous medical files and determined that he actually had been a type 1 diabetic all along, rather than a type 2 diabetic as he had previously been diagnosed in his early 20s.

But that leaves a question the film didn’t address. During the 30-day challenge in the film, Kirt was able to get off all of the diabetes drugs, and even the insulin.

If he was able to get off all of the insulin, then the viewer is left to assume — because it isn’t addressed in the film — that Kirt must have some level of ability to manufacture insulin in his own body, whereas type 1 diabetics usually are unable to produce insulin.

In any event, by the end of the film, after just 30 days Kirt was off all of the drugs and off the insulin, too.

Kirt Tyson not only reversed his diabetes and got off all of the drugs and insulin, but by the end of the film Simply Raw he explained how this whole experience had given him the desire to become a naturopathic doctor in the future to help other people, and that is exactly what he is doing now.

In the documentary, Kirt Tyson comes across as a kind, helpful, likeable, affable person. If other participants felt discouraged, Kirt went out of his way to help inspire and encourage them, so they wouldn’t give up on their quest to finish the challenge and reverse their type 2 diabetes naturally.

Kirt’s participation in the 30-day diabetes reversal challenge contributed to keeping a positive vibe among everyone participating in the challenge, and he himself experienced an astounding health transformation, reversing his diabetes.

Dr. Kirt Tyson N.M.D. now is a Naturopathic Doctor who Helps Others Reverse their Type 2 Diabetes

Fast-forward to present day, and Dr. Tyson, N.M.D. now is helping others to reverse their type 2 diabetes and get the same kind of results that he got from switching to whole food plant-based nutrition.

Here’s a screenshot from Dr. Kirt Tyson’s health practice, the Balanced Health Medical Center, in Washington, D.C.

He is an inspiration for any diabetic who wants to dramatically improve their health, including the possibility of reversing type 2 diabetes naturally.

About the Documentary: Simply Raw 30-Day Diabetes Reversal Challenge

Six people with diabetes from different states around the country volunteered and were chosen to participate in the documentary film in which they joined a 30-day challenge to REVERSE their diabetes and reduce or eliminate the diabetes drugs, insulin, (and blood pressure drugs).

The challenge took place at a natural healing center in a beautiful setting in Arizona, surrounded by mountain ranges in the distance.

The premise of the 30-Day Simply Raw challenge in the film

(1) The six participants in the diabetes-reversal challenge would eat the delicious, healthy, raw fiber-rich plant-based meals that would be prepared for them daily, three times a day.

(2) They could eat as much as they liked at each of the three meals each day.

(3) The switch to healthy whole food (in this case, raw) plant-based foods would be all it takes to reduce or eliminate all or most of the drugs/insulin, (as well as, in most cases, reduce or eliminate blood pressure pills).

The challenge participants ate lots of fiber-filled delicious raw fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, as well as avocado. They also had delicious raw plant-based deserts including creamy chocolate deserts. No meat, no dairy, no sugar, no processed foods, no cooked grains, no caffeine. Nothing cooked at a temperature higher than 118 degrees.

It’s worth emphasizing that this film and 30-Day challenge used only raw plant-based foods, which has fewer food options than a whole food plant-based diet. Yet more recent films like Forks Over Knives, What the Health, and Plant Pure Nation, (links below) among many others, show that a much broader whole food plant-based lifestyle can reverse diabetes type 2 quickly and naturally in a short time, with a much greater variety of food choices than just raw plant foods.

Additional Benefits, in addition to Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

The switch to whole food plant-based foods has many health benefits. The Simply Raw 30-day challenge participants experienced dramatic improvements in their lab tests (blood sugar lowered to normal levels), and dramatically improved blood pressure/heart health. They also talked about how great they began to feel, very quickly, upon making this nutritional change.

Challenge participants also described greatly increased clarity and energy, in addition to substantial weight loss. Kirt reported that he had gained muscle by the end of the raw plant-food diabetes reversal challenge.

More about Kirt Tyson

Upon learning more about Kirt after watching the film, we were even more impressed by the range of his achievements and all that he does.

Before he signed up for the documentary, Kirt had already graduated from Morehouse College with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology.

Inspired to help others reverse type 2 diabetes, after he got off all of the diabetes drugs and insulin in under 30 days as a participant in the Simply Raw documentary, Kirt subsequently earned his degree as a naturopathic medical doctor (N.M.D.).

In addition to becoming a naturopathic doctor, he is an author, an actor (he has appeared both in film and television roles) and a male model (Elite Agency and more recently he signed with the Wilhemina Agency, modeling for Ralph Lauren and many others).

He also has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York.

As a naturopathic doctor, he founded and runs a naturopathic health center in Washington, DC. He also often speaks at conferences and events about the power of whole food plant-based foods and raw plant-foods to heal and reverse type 2 diabetes, heart disease, auto-immune diseases and more.

Kirt Tyson is an impressive person, having achieved so much at such a young age and overcome diabetes.

Important Note: A whole food plant-based lifestyle can reverse type 2 diabetes naturally — with far more food options than solely “raw” plant foods

A major point to consider when watching the Simply Raw film is that their 30-day challenge was restricted to only raw plant-foods. One of the Simply Raw participants seemed to have a tough time transitioning to healthy raw plant foods, an abrupt change after eating very unhealthfully for most (or all) of his life.

It is likely that someone who is put off by the idea of eating only raw natural foods, could do much better eating the larger selections and kinds of foods available in a whole food plant-based diet — not restricted just to raw plant-foods — and still get excellent results in reversing type 2 diabetes, quickly (often reducing or eliminating diabetes drugs within days or weeks, under close medical supervision of their medical doctor).

What is the cure for type 2 diabetes?

If you want to get started right away to learn what it takes to reverse type 2 diabetes naturally, with step-by-step guidance and recipes, read the book The End of Diabetes by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.

There are more than a thousand 5-star reviews on Amazon.com for The End of Diabetes, testimonials from people who reversed their type 2 diabetes as a result of reading The End of Diabetes and applying it, switching to whole food plant-based nutrition. Check out some of these testimonials for inspiration from people who reversed their type 2 diabetes after reading Dr. Fuhrman’s book, The End of Diabetes.

As with any diet and lifestyle change, and as described in Dr. Fuhrman’s books, it is important to consult with your medical doctor/under close supervision so that when and to the extent you no longer need the diabetes drugs or other drugs, your medical doctor can reduce or eliminate the drugs when and to the extent they are no longer needed. As described in The End of Diabetes, it would be very dangerous to continue taking diabetes drugs when and to the extent they are no longer needed.

Changing your health destiny is a choice, not only to reverse type 2 diabetes naturally, but also to prevent cancer and prevent or reverse heart disease and so many illnesses and diseases including auto-immune diseases and many others, all from switching to whole food plant-based foods.

Today’s type 2 diabetes reversal testimonial features San’Dera Nation – now San’Dera Prude (her married name) – featured in the documentary Forks Over Knives

San’Dera Nation’s transformation in the documentary Forks Over Knives is impressive. She is eloquent and compelling in her description of how type 2 diabetes hypertension (high blood pressure) affected her well-being and affected her life, before she learned how to reverse type 2 diabetes and reverse her high blood pressure during the course of the Forks Over Knives documentary.

Plus, she just seems like such a nice person, as well as a devoted mother of five children. From the beginning of her story, all the way through to her dramatic excellent health turn-around, Forks Over Knives viewers are rooting for her.

Note: After the documentary, San’Dera’s married name became became San’Dera Prude.

As you watch Forks Over Knives (online link below), when we first meet San’Dera Nation in the film, she describes some of the health conditions that led to her type 2 diabetes (and high blood pressure) diagnosis, and it’s easy to empathize how frightening it would be to experience those symptoms.
As San’Dera described the strange illness,

I wanted to say something, but it wasn’t coming out. I was getting really shaky and sweats, and then I was cold and sick and fatigued, and my stomach hurt and everything. So I went to the doctor, and that’s when he diagnosed me with hypertension and diabetes.”

She continued,

I was in denial for a while. I heard what they said, but I was in denial, like, [shaking her head no.] I still ate things I shouldn’t have. I didn’t really get the education that I needed to know, so I really depended on that pill to save me.”

– San’Dera Nation Prude, Forks Over Knives

This was not the health destiny she wanted. Instead, she was willing to choose health, with the guidance of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and his wife, Ann Esselstyn.

The documentary follows San’Dera Nation as she meets with renowned physician Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn (who is also a former Olympic rowing champion) and his wife Ann Esselstyn.

Dr. Esselstyn recommended that she treat her illnesses with a whole foods, plant-based diet. Dr. Esselstyn and his wife Ann helped San’Dera learn about the kinds of delicious, filling whole food plant-based foods that could reverse her type 2 diabetes and bring her blood pressure down to normal levels (along with helping her to avoid all of the kinds of diseases that are caused by eating the standard Western diet.)

It was a little hard, because I had been eating fatty foods and grease and everything for 38 years, for as long as I can remember, so it was kind of hard to go from that to changing the next day completely.”

San’Dera persisted in her choice to regain her health. San’Dera described a moment of weakness, in which she was a little tempted by a less-than-healthy food, but then Ann Esselstyn called her out of the blue, just to check in with her to see how she was doing. San’Dera appreciated the support from Dr. Esselstyn and his wife Ann, checking up on her and encouraging her. “It gave me chills to know that she called at that moment.”

San’Dera also described how, as part of her journey to health and reversing type 2 diabetes, she kept a journal and wrote about the challenges she faced in her journal. She encourages others facing similar challenges to keep a journal and write about those challenges, as a way to stay strong and know that it’s okay; you can do this.

In the documentary, the narrator pointed out the irony that San’Dera works at a diabetes outpatient center (where patients are treated with standard prescription drug protocols), but San’Dera herself chose to cure her type 2 diabetes instead through whole foods plant-based nutrition.

Within only two months after switching to whole food plant-based foods, San’dera experienced dramatic effects on her type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

Since I’ve been on a plant-based diet, my blood pressure has been wonderful. My blood sugars are [down in the 80s, 70s, 60s.]
So I was alarmed when it was 60. I thought, ‘Aah! Isn’t that bad? It’s 60?’
[So] I talked to the diabetes educator, who is wonderful. She said, ‘No, that’s a normal blood sugar. You’re pancreas is working, your diabetes is reversing.'”

From San’dera’s description in the film, her own regular physician seemed — skeptical — about San’Dera’s new lifestyle, and didn’t seem to even understand why San’Dera would have the goal and determination to get off the diabetes drugs entirely. San’Dera described her physician as exclaiming, “What is that doctor trying to do? Take you off your medications?!”
San’Dera affirmed, “I’m looking like, [nodding yes], “Yes, I’m hoping — that’s the goal.”
Diplomatically, San’Dera simply noted, “So there are still people we have to make believers.”

By the end of the documentary, San’Dera shared how much she enjoys some of her favorite foods: fresh fruit. She described the delicacy and sweetness of white peaches and how peaches now had become for her the sweetest, delicious treats, because her taste buds have become more attuned and sensitive, now that she has switched to whole foods plant-based foods.

[I agree with Ann Esselstyn that eating whole foods plant-based foods,] ‘you really start tasting the real taste of what you’re eating,’ cause I’d eat a peach, and you’d think… I was in heaven with my white peaches I get to eat, and that feels good to be able to eat, bringing the sugar down, losing the weight, your whole everything changes.”

– San’Dera (Nation) Prude

San’Dera’s excellent results went far beyond reversing her type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

Mentally, [I no longer have] the sluggishness, the fear of the disease progressing. Because I feel I’m in control and have power of taking it back the right way now. So, mentally, I feel great. I’m eating the things I should eat. . . . You know, I think we’re a little dependent on, our doctors and the medications. We should take a little bit more responsibility and check it out for ourselves.”

San’Dera summarized her transformation in the Forks Over Knives documentary, with some excellent inspirational advice for anyone who wants to reverse their type 2 diabetes, or help someone you care about reverse type 2 diabetes, through solidarity and your support:

Tomorrow marks 20 weeks [eating whole food plant-based foods].
I’ve lost 45 pounds. I’ve reversed the diabetes.
I don’t have to rely on the medication.
I have a lot of energy that I didn’t have before.
My children love it.
They’re so proud of me, and they tell me all the time.
I had a little saying that I’ve carried around [with me]…,
and it’s ‘Win the war.’
‘Do not let one lost battle end the war.
If you do break down and give into temptation, do not quit.
Just get right back on track.
Not tomorrow, but right now.’
The diabetes is not coming back.
I’m not gonna let it come back, nor the weight.
The message is, you’re in control of your life.“

– San’Dera Nation, Forks Over Knives

If you are reading this because you or someone you care about is struggling with type 2 diabetes, know that you do have a choice to change your health destiny.

Reading about others like San’Dera (Nation) Prude who made the choice to reverse her hypertension and reverse her type 2 diabetes helps you to believe and understand what is possible.

In addition to San’Dera Nation’s testimonial, Forks Over Knives also follows the transformation of another type 2 diabetic, Joey Aucoin, as he reversed his type 2 diabetes, and reversed his high blood pressure, in 8 weeks, and lost more than 28 pounds in 22 weeks eating whole foods, plant-based foods, just as San’Dera Nation did.

Read about Joey Aucoin’s Transformation & Reversal of Type 2 Diabetes Naturally

As documented in Forks Over Knives, San’Dera (Nation) Prude reversed her type 2 diabetes by switching to whole foods plant-based foods, including her favorite fruits and especially, white peaches.

Her example shows that other people suffering with type 2 diabetes also have a choice to choose health and transform their health simply through choosing whole foods, plant-based foods.

Learn how to reverse type 2 diabetes naturally, lower blood pressure and prevent diseases as San’Dera Nation did in Forks Over Knives! First, watch the movie, Forks Over Knives (links below). Then read the step-by-step how-to companion books to the film (links below), which give you all of the information you need to get started on your journey to health for life.

As you begin to make diet and lifestyle changes, it is important to note that anyone making effective diet and lifestyle changes like these must do so under the close supervision of their physician so that their physician can reduce and eliminate the diabetes medications when and to the extent they are no longer needed.

Continuing to take diabetes drugs when they are no longer needed would be very dangerous, so it’s important to work closely with your medical doctor and let them know you are making diet and lifestyle changes since this will require your medical doctor’s supervision and adjustment of the medication levels until and to the extent they are no longer needed.
