The Bible tells us: “… the curse CAUSELESS shall not come.” (Proverbs 26:2)

Any thinking person would have to acknowledge that every physical problem a person experiences could not occur without a CAUSE! Sadly, doctors have not been trained in medical school to seek out the CAUSE of a physical problem, but rather how to deal exclusively with the “SYMPTOM!”

Let me share for a moment today’s medical approach to dealing with just three physical problems people are experiencing. A little reflection will reveal that how these three physical problems are dealt with is the same symptomatic approach almost every other physical problem is dealt with.

Headache – If a person is suffering with a headache, does the doctor seek the “cause” of the headache, eliminate that cause, and thus rid the person of current and future headaches? Or rather does the doctor prescribe a pain killer to eliminate the symptom of the headache while making no effort to determine the cause? With this approach does the headache come back? Almost always – requiring more drug use.

High Blood Pressure – If a person is suffering from high blood pressure, does the doctor seek the “cause” of the high blood pressure, eliminate the cause, and watch the high blood pressure simply go away and stay away? Or rather does the doctor prescribe a high-blood pressure medication while making no effort to find the cause? Does this approach eliminate the high blood pressure? No. The patient is told they will have to remain on high blood pressure medication for the rest of their life.

Diabetes Type 2 – If a person is suffering with elevated blood sugar levels, does the doctor seek out the “cause” of these high blood sugar readings, eliminate the cause, and see blood sugar numbers return to normal naturally and remain normal? Or rather does the doctor deal with the “symptom” of high blood sugar by prescribing a drug or insulin? This often leads to further physical breakdown as the diabetic condition continues to deteriorate.

Does A Symptomatic Approach Eliminate The Problem?

Do drugs ever cure the problem? In the case of headaches, after the drug, headaches will continue to occur, possibly with increasing intensity and frequency. In the case of high blood pressure, if they go off the drug, blood pressure readings will rise. And in the case of diabetes Type 2, if they go off the drug or insulin, readings will rise.

Almost every physical problem for which a person visits a doctor is dealt with using a symptomatic approach. “What’s your symptom? – Here’s a drug!” Sadly, a symptomatic approach has never (nor it will it ever) eliminate the physical problem the person is dealing with because treating a symptom never eliminates the “cause”.

With that as a little introduction, let’s zero in on our subject: “Diabetes – A Natural Approach.”

Are We Winning The War On Diabetes?

In spite of over $12 billion being spent annually on finding a cure for diabetes, the cost of treating diabetes continues to rise – currently approximately $218 billion annually and counting.

Despite all the research, over 2 million new people are diagnosed with diabetes each year. Currently, approximately 30 million children and adults – over 8%” of the population – have diabetes… and these numbers are rising rapidly.

The American Diabetic Association is constantly asking for donations to support diabetic research that they say will hopefully one day lead to a cure. Is it not a fair question to ask: “After so many years of spending over $12 billion annually in search of a cure, why do they tell us that a cure for diabetes has not as yet been found?”

Has A Cure For Type 2 Diabetes Already Been Found?

Are you aware that the cause and cure for Type 2 diabetes has already been found? It can be found right underneath the nose of every Type 2 diabetic. Diabetes is caused by placing things into the body that God never intended along with failing to exercise.

If a cure for diabetes has already been found, and been proven to work in thousands of diabetics, why has the medical community and the American Diabetic Association not informed the citizens of this cure? The answer is a very simple one: Follow the money trail!

As shared above, in the year 2007 alone, the treatment of diabetes brought $218 billion into the medical community coffers. One out of every 10 health care dollars in the United States and 1 out of every 4 Medicare dollars is spent on the care and treatment of people with diabetes, while multiple billions are spent on research annually.

If a cure for diabetes was acknowledged as having been found and shared with the American people, the medical community would lose that $218 billion in income annually from the treatment of diabetes. Those in the research community would lose multiple billions in research grants and the American Diabetic Association would cease to have a purpose for its very existence. Diabetes is big business!

Type 2 Diabetes Is Preventable and Almost Always Reversible

Obviously, the symptomatic approach to diabetes does not eliminate the cause. Drugs and insulin only temporarily deal with the high blood sugar condition without getting rid of the diabetes. This is obvious as people have to return to the doctor again and again for evaluation and treatment as the condition deteriorates.

What if there was a way to get rid of diabetes permanently and never have need of insulin ever again or have a concern for eyesight loss or amputation?

The key to getting rid of the “symptom” of diabetes is to eliminate the “cause” of diabetes. That is the Bible solution! Eliminate the “cause”:  “…So the Curse CAUSELESS shall not come.” The biblical key to removing physical problems is the elimination of the “cause” of physical problems.

The Cause of Type 2 Diabetes

Our physical body is comprised of some 100 trillion living cells. Each cell is surrounded by a membrane. In order to maintain health, these membranes must maintain the ability to regulate the gates and channels into and out of the cell.

A healthy cell membrane allows vital nutrients and fuel to pass into the cell while ushering toxins and waste products out of the cell. This maintains a healthy balance inside and outside the cell so that it can produce good energy and function as designed by God.

In order to construct healthy cell membranes the cells need the nutrients and omega 3 fatty acids found in plant source foods. These foods keep the insulin-glucose pathways into the cell functioning normally so that insulin can easily slip just the right amount of sugar into the cell to satisfy its energy needs.

Sadly, the Standard American Diet (SAD) does not provide the nutrients and healthy fats necessary to maintain healthy cell membranes. With an over abundance of unhealthy animal and hydrogenated fats, the SAD slowly clogs the cell membranes, blocking the nutrients from entering the cell and the wastes from exiting the cell.

As these membranes fill with unhealthy fats, the blood sugars needed by the cells are hindered from entering the cell. As a result, blood sugar levels begin to climb as sugar backs up into the blood. This also causes blood insulin levels to rise, which is a hormonal response to the starving cell’s need of sugar.

Billions of research dollars are spent annually to find a way to unclog cell membranes while multiple billions more are spent on drugs designed to force the sugar past the blockage. Is there a better solution? Absolutely!

A Plant-Based Diet Reverses Diabetes

For almost 20 years, hundreds have written to Hallelujah Acres to share (or in seminars publicly proclaim) that after they adopted The Hallelujah Diet, their Type 2 diabetes simply disappeared… in as little as 4 days or up to 4 months.

One of our Health Ministers reported that after being insulin dependent for over 50 years, he was off insulin and his blood sugar readings were normal within two months of making the diet and lifestyle change.

How A Plant-Based Diet Reverses Diabetes

The cause of Type 2 diabetes is not insufficient insulin. In fact, the average Type 2 diabetic is already producing more insulin than the non-diabetic. Nor is Type 2 diabetes caused by the consumption of sugar! Sugar aggravates an already existing diabetic problem, but sugar is not the cause of the problem.

As we said earlier, the cause of Type 2 diabetes is almost always the blocking action of unhealthy fats. These fats prevent the insulin from reaching the insulin receptors within the cell. This causes blood sugar levels to rise, and in an attempt to lower this rise, doctors prescribe additional insulin.

This additional insulin (derived from pigs by the way) doesn’t solve the blood sugar problem, but only exacerbates the problem.

Inconceivably, the diabetic is usually then placed on a high protein diet, containing lots of animal fats, which further complicate the problem by adding more blocking fat!

The Solution

The solution is simple: Stop the intake of all animal source foods, along with all products containing trans-fats, and switch to a 100% plant-based diet! In addition to the diet change, begin exercising daily.

As the person stops placing all that fat into their body and starts a primarily raw, 100% plant-based diet, the fat that was blocking the insulin begins to fall off the cells. Almost like magic, within a few days to a few months, blood sugar levels for most Type 2 diabetics will begin to normalize and soon there will be no more need for additional insulin.

Hallelujah!

See the testimonies section of our website to read the amazing testimonies from individuals who recovered from diabetes after making a diet and lifestyle change necessary to overcome their diabetic condition.

Caution: If a person continues to take previous amounts of insulin, following a diet change and beginning an exercise program can cause blood sugar levels to drop too low. It is important that insulin intake be adjusted downward as blood sugar levels drop. It is best if a diabetic pursues a diet change that is monitored by a health care professional.
