Product Description
Diabetes has become a seemingly unstoppable national epidemic, affecting more than twenty million Americans. Conventional wisdom calls it incurable, but renowned Dr. Gabriel Cousens counters that claim with this breakthrough book. There Is a Cure for Diabetes lays out a three-week plan for reversing the negative genetic expression of diabetes to a physiology of health and well-being. Dr. Cousens’s method, widely tested at his famous Tree of Life centers, is to reset the DNA through green juice fasting and a 100% organic, nutrient-dense, vegan, low-glycemic, low-insulin-scoring, and high-mineral diet of living foods in the first twenty-one days. Both practical and inspirational, the book explains how to abandon the widespread “culture of death”–symbolized by addictive junk food–that fosters diabetes in favor of a more natural, nurturing approach. The program renders insulin and related medicines unnecessary within four days as the blood sugar drops to normal levels; and the diabetic shifts into a non-diabetic physiology within two weeks. The third week focuses on live-food preparation, featuring 100 delicious raw recipes. Dr. Cousens emphasizes regular consultations, monitoring blood chemistries, and emotional support, and includes a one-year support program to help maintain a diabetes-free life.

 Excellent book !!! October 27, 2008
Isabelle Zablocki (USA)
This book is a beam of hope in a world that believes that diabetes has no cure.It is very well documented and researched and you get to better understand the terrible complications of diabetes. If you or a loved one has diabetes,it is definetely worth reading. The new paradigm that this author is bringing about is so inspiring: the shift in diet goes along with a shift of being. As the author says, it is about moving from a culture of death to a culture of life. I don't have diabetes but I found this book so inspiring to me. It brought hope and life within me. I can't wait to read his other books. I think his Tree of Life Center in Arizona is an amazing place for healing.

Great book of information that makes sense for a change. The medical profession makes more money if people do not know these priceless secrets. I am now on chapter five, my fasting blood sugar has dropped over one hundred points and I am not even into the preparation of foods.

I have type 2 Diabetes and I was NOT in any of the categories for getting it except age (62) and genetics (my father has it.) My numbers are usually under 100 (with medication and eating not much). I was hoping this book would broaden my gastronomic horizons. Unless one is willing to spend all day preparing and eating (I don't eat between meals) this book is no help.
How would they know if it cures diabetes? How could you possibly find at least 1,000 people who follow this? There is no scientific research to prove it works-- unless they have people living in a secure environment, for at least a three-month period. Otherwise, they really do not know what anyone is doing.
The recipes are heavy with guacamole, which is high in fat; brown rice which spikes my glucose level. After that, it is Swiss-chard a go-go. Don't waste your time or money. No one can use this in the real world.
A three week plan that can assist with reversing type-II diabetes regardless of the history of the patient June 8, 2008

Almost a third of the United States population is either suffering from Diabetes or are in severe danger. "There is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program" counters that grim fact with a shining light of optimism, with a three week plan that can assist with reversing type-II diabetes regardless of the history of the patient. A lifestyle change is all that's needed claims MD and author Gabriel Cousens - and "There is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program" is highly recommended for this and for anyone who fears diabetes, and for community library health collections.
More pseudoscience - save your money and your credibility. June 3, 2008

When phrases as ludicrous as "reset the DNA through green juice fasting" appear in the official summary of a book, you know you're in for a fast-talking ride with a quack. Your DNA (remember, the foundational molecules of genetic expression resident in nearly every cell of your body?) does not get "reset" by anything you eat.
Assuming that his approach could possibly be a cure (which would contradict verified principles of diabetic pathology and physiology), it would be great to see Cousens submit an actual clinical study for peer review. Unfortunately, such careful, impartial research isn't quite as profitable as writing a best-seller. Why make sure what you're promoting is true when you can rake in the cash?
Zero stars.
