And theyre not even aware of whats happening Because their symptoms develop overtime, Robert Bazell, Chief Science and Health Correspondent for NBC Nightly News, calls these people a walking time bomb. (1)
As the seventh leading cause of death, this disease claims nearly 200 lives every single day. (2)
And the threat has doubled in the past decade. Im talking about Adult Onset or type 2 diabetes caused by abnormally high glucose levels in the blood as a result of the bodys inability to metabolize sugar properly. Sadly, many diabetics never have the chance to control their blood sugar because they discover they have the disease only after suffering one of its serious complicationscomplications that include heart attack, blindness, loss of arms and legs, kidney damage, and stroke. (3)
But this doesnt have to happen to you. Because type 2 diabetes is almost entirely preventable. And heres more good news A simple blood test can detect whether your blood sugar is at diabetic levels. And if it turns out that you have developed diabetes, it is not only treatable, its reversible. Researchers at several prestigious universities, inclu- ding UCLA, have shown that you can stop diabetes in its tracks in just THREE WEEKSand you can do it with out medication. Using an all-natural approachthe approach used by Dr. Richard Bernstein, one of the worlds foremost experts on diabetestest subjects experience dramatic, measureable results, including: Lower cholesterol and fewer free radicals in their blood. Higher levels of nitric oxide, which keeps arteries clear and blood flowing. (4)
A charter member and Fellow of the American Asso- ciation of Clinical Endocrinologists, and a member of the editorial board of The Open Diabetes Journal, Dr. Bern- steins lifelong dedication to diabetes research and treatment has resulted in six published books and
hundreds of peer-reviewed articles for major health publ- ications. In his book The Diabetes Solution, he rails against the high-carb diet touted by mainstream medicine and the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Much of what is still considered sensible nutritional advice for diabetes can, over the long run, be fatal, he says. I know, because it almost killed me. Richard Bernstein was only 12 years old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, the juvenile (and much less common) form of the disease. And he was absol- utely diligent in following his doctors advice. (After all, his doctor was the president of the ADA.) For 20 years, he stuck with the low-fat, high-carbo- hydrate diet he was given. But his illness progressed, stunting his growth and causing painful kidney stones, frozen shoulders that made [him] cry to put on a shirt, deformed feet, and neuropathy. When he complained to his doctor, he was told, Dont worry, it has nothing to do with your diabetes. Youre doing fine. But Richard knew he wasnt doing fine. He had to inject himself with large doses of insulin to compensate for the high-carb diet. And at only 32 years old, he was chronically ill and aging prematurely. He didnt think he would live to see his children grown. A Pioneering Effort Changes the Face of Diabetes Then, in October 1969, Richard opened the latest issue of the trade journal Lab World and saw an advertisement for a blood-sugar meter. Using a single drop of blood, the device gave a reading within one minute. It was inte- nded for medical professionals to determine whether an unconscious patient was drunk or diabetic. The figures are alarming but very real In America, diabetes is listed as a cause of death on 70,000 death certificates every year. But the true number is probably closer to half a million 285 million people worldwide are living with diabetes 4 million of those people will die from diabetic complications By 2030, the number of case of diabetes around the world will rise to 438 million 80% of diabetes patients will die of cardiovascular diseases. VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.INHRESEARCH.COM Page 1 It weighed 3 pounds and cost $650. Richard tried to order one, but it was only available to doctors and hospitals. Fortunately, his wife was a physician, so she ordered it for him. And that was the beginning. Keep in mind that diabetics did not test their own glucose levels back in 1969. For one thing, there was no way to do it. There were no home monitors. Plus, doctors did not think patients should take an active part in their own medical care. Richard Bernstein thought otherwise. He believed that he could get his blood glucose to normal. Always researching, he found that diabetes had not only been prevented, but reversed in animals. But when he tried to discuss this with his doctor, he was told, Animals arent humans. And besides, its impossible to normalize human blood sugars. Frustrated, but not deterred, he went forward with his plan to monitor himself and get his blood glucose to normal levels. Applying his own techni- ques for using diet to control and reverse diabetes, his health began to improve dramatically. He knew he was on to something big. Excited, Richard wrote articles about his techniques and submitted them to one medical journal after an- other. The result was a stream of rejection letters. He was sure that many lives could be saved and millions could benefit from what he had learned if only he could get the information out to the public. So in 1979, at the age of 45, he gave up his job as an engineer and enrolled in medical school. He figured that with a M.D. after his name, he might finally be taken seriously. A Total Departure From the Standard Diabetic Diet Dr. Bernstein was now in control of his blood sugar and healthier than he had been in years. And he had done it with a very specific, all-natural diet. What he discovered was that by returning to the diet of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, blood glucose levels could be normalized very effectivelyand very quickly. It made sense to him. For eons, people could eat only what was available in their immediate environ- ment. Meat, and vegetables that might be in season. But this was totally at odds with the ADAs recom- mended diet, which is high in complex carbs and practically devoid of fat. Most diabetics have been conditioned to fear fat. Theyre told it will raise their triglycerides and cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease. In fact, diabetics do tend to have high lipid pro- files. These can lead to cardiovascular problems and other complications, but it is not because of excess dietary fat. The real culprit, Dr. Bernstein confirmed, is carbohydrateswhich are basically chains of sugar molecules. Some of those chains are longer, and thus, complex. But whether simple or complex, the body still digests those molecules as sugar. (6)
How do you thank someone for saving your life? Thats what Mandy R. wrote after only 11 days on his program to treat and reverse out-of-control diabetic glucose levels. Mandy was devastated when she was diagnosed with diabetes. Ten members of her family had died of diabetic complications, and she knew that conventional treatment promised little more than a long, miserable road to declining health. Mandys physician had given her the standard diabetic diet and told her to come back in three months. Her blood glucose levels remained high and she dreaded the thought of progressing to medication. Thankfully, she found and immediately started following Dr. Bersteins program. In less than two weeks her blood glucose dropped almost 50%! (5) Page 2 Cure Diabetes in 3 Weeks VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.INHRESEARCH.COM Page 2 Warning: Follow the ADAs High-Carb Diet at Your Own Risk (It will keep you on diabetes medication for life!) You will not be able to prevent or reverse diab- etes if you follow the guidelines issued by the American Diabetes Association. Those recommend- ations will rob you of your healtheventually your eyesight or your limbsand finally your life. Even the ADA recognizes that bread is as fast- acting a carbohydrate as table sugar. But do they tell you to avoid bread? No. According to their excha- nge system, foods on the Other Carbohydrate List (which includes cookies, cake, doughnuts, ice cream, and pie) can be substituted for foods from the starch, fruit, or milk lists. (7)
Dr. Bernstein maintains that you can exchange all you likebut the effect on your blood glucose is the same. It goes up. And it goes up fast. Meanwhile, your pancreas has to work overtime to produce more insulin to handle the sugar over- load. And while it tries to catch up, high blood sugar is wreaking havoc in your body. To make matters worse, the more carbs you eat, the more you want. Overwhelming carb cravings go hand in hand with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, which greatly increase the risk of diabetes. The Ultimate Solution Dr. Bernsteins solution for preventing and reve- rsing diabetes is not the typical low-carb diet. Unlike the Atkins or the South Beach diets, there are no phases. There are no jump starts or treat days. His plan is designed to end carb addictionand uncontrollable cravingsonce and for all. You eat enough to feel satisfied, but not scuffed. And your blood sugar stays normalized around the clock. Needless to say, you eliminate simple sugars and even sugar-free products from your diet. (Most sugar substitutes are a fast-acting type of carb that raises blood sugar immediately when ingested. A notable exception is stevia, a natural sweetener.) Grains, milk, starchy vegetables, fruit and fruit juice, and canned soups are digested as sugar, so theyre out. Ditto for snack foods and breakfast cereals. Whats left when you stop eating all those carb- rich foods? Plenty of good, healthy, real food that will reverse diabetes and its frightening complications Most vegetables and protein-rich foods have virt- ually no carbohydrates. Cheeses have just a small amount, and non-meat soy products generally have 6 grams of carbohydrate per ounce. Lets take a closer look at how Dr. Bernstein and thousands of his patients have completely erased the fear of the damage diabetes can do. The Crucial Difference Here are two sample meals: one recommended by the ADA, the other a typical low-carb dinner following the Bernstein guidelines. (8)
The ADA tells you to make starches the center- piece of the meal. They define a low-carb diet as one with 130 or fewer grams of carbohydrates per day. (9)
Compare that with Dr. Bernsteins definition of low-carb 30 grams of carbohydrate per day6 grams at breakfast, 12 grams at lunch, and another 12 grams at dinner. American Diabetes Assoc. Dinner Bernstein Guideline Dinner Pasta w/ vinaigrette dressing 1 cup Steamed broccoli 2/3 cup Fish 3.5 ounces Salad w/ dressing 1 cup Granola Bar, Banana Steak 4-6 ounces Page 3 Cure Diabetes in 3 Weeks VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.INHRESEARCH.COM Page 3 Before you dismiss that as too spartan, consider the doctors reasoning [The ADAs carb limit is] four times higher than what I recommend and makes it impossible to maintain [blood glucose] control Until the creation of flour and bread, humans could not get anywhere near 130 grams of carbohydrate a day. Early man did not suffer from obesity and heart disease and diabetes. He couldnt get enough carbs to make it possible! (10) Research continues to confirm the benefits of Dr. Bernsteins low-carb plan. A study done at the University of Toronto in Canada in 2009, for exam- ple, compared a low-carb, high-fat diet (26% carbs) with a high-carb, low-fat diet (58% carbs, including whole grains). After 4 weeks, all of the participants in the study experienced similar weight lossabout 9 pounds. BUTthose on the low-carb diet also experienc ed a drop in blood pressure, lower LDL and total cholesterol, and higher HDL cholesterol, improving their overall cholesterol ratios. Diet alone reduced their risk of heart disease in ust four weeks! (11)
Ultra-Low-Carb is Not Just a Diabetic DietIts a LONGEVITY Diet! Dr. Bernstein maintains that an ultra-low-carb diet is the only answer for diabetics and anyone with a high risk of developing the disease. That in- cludes people who are 45 and older, have a family history of diabetes, or are overweight. In fact, he asserts that it is the solution to the obesity epidemic that is destroying the health of more people every day. On a truly low-carb diet, you dont get fateven when you reach the years of the so-called middle- aged spread. And if youre already fat, you dont stay fat. It has to do with insulin. Insulin is a fat-building hormone. When you eat fewer carbohydrates, your body produces less insulin to stabilize your blood sugar. As a result, the fat you eat is metabolizednot storedand is elim- inated from your body. With lower blood sugar over all, even existing body fat begins to melt away. In Dr. Bernsteins experience, People who des- paired of ever losing weight, ever having energy, ever being able to carry on a healthy sexual relat- ionship, have said again and again the diet was the main thing that helped them regain control of their lives. Ive seen people shed 50 or more pounds in a few months and say they had never before felt in control of their appetites or their lives. (12) Prevent or Reverse Diabetes in Just WeeksGuaranteed!
Diabetes is a killer. It causes all kinds of things to go wrong with your bodybut since it takes years to develop, you dont see it happening. The end result is heart disease, kidney failure, eye problems, and neuropathy. (13)
Even more frightening, diabetes now accounts for 70% of all lower limb amputations. (14) Thats a high price to payespecially when a simple, safe, and effective natural solution already exists.

Be Good to Your Gut
Recent evidence suggests a link between metabolic diseases and gut bacteria. (15) Research has shown that gut bacteria can initiate the inflam- matory state of obesity that leads to metabolic disease.
And now a recent study examined the differences in gut bacteria between diabetics and non-diabetics. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen studied 36 men with a broad range of age and body- mass indices (BMIs). Half of the men were type 2 diabetics. After testing all of the subjects gut bacteria, researchers found that the diabetics had a different composition of flora. Much to their surprise, gut flora had a larger correlation to type 2 diabetes than a subjects BMI. That means that the bacteria in your gut could be a bigger factor in determining whether you get type 2 diabetes than your weight. The researchers even suggested that measuring and modifying gut flora could help patients combat diabetes and other metabolic diseases such as obesity. This study builds on earlier research that linked gut bacteria and obesity. These studies have found similarities in bacterial populations observed in both obese subjects and diabetics. (16)
Try adding fermented foods rich in probiotics to your diet. Youll also want to include a supplement that contains multiple strains of both:
Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) for the small intestine. Bifidobacterium bifidum (B. bifidus) for the large intestine.
By resetting your gut flora, you may have the power to avoidor even correctdiabetes and obesity. Squelch Inflammation Inflammation plays a big role in diabetes. Cutting sugars is a great first step to reduce inflammation, but its important to help your body with the process. Vitamin D has a long and positive track record with diabetes because of its strong anti- inflammatory effects. A team of researchers at Warwick Medical School in the UK conducted a review study on the Butter-Parm Addiction Wings
This recipe serves 8 and yields only 1.3 grams of carbohydrates per serving!
Ingredients: 4 lbs. chicken wings (preferably free-range and organic if available) cup butter 1 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 tsp. dried garlic 2 tbsp. dried parsley 2 tsp. paprika 1 tbsp. oregano 1 tsp. salt tsp. pepper
Cooking Instructions: Preheat oven to 350. Pat wings dry with a paper towel and set aside. Combine all dry ingredients. Line a shallow baking sheet with foil. Melt the butter. Drench wings in butter, then roll in dry ingredients until coated. Place wings on baking sheet making sure not to crowd them. Bake for one hour. Serve alone or with a crisp salad. Page 5 Cure Diabetes in 3 Weeks VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.INHRESEARCH.COM Page 5 vitamin. They looked at 28 studies with nearly 100,000 participants. People with high levels of vitamin D saw a 55 percent reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Your body makes vitamin D when sunlight hits your skin, but most of us (especially in the northern hemisphere) cant get nearly enough that way. So without sun exposure youll want to take vitamin D3 daily. You can get it in liquid or capsule forms. Its available online or at health food stores. A common daily dose is around 2,000 IUs, but some experts say to take upwards of 4,000 to 10,000 IUs a day. You can get vitamin D in many foods. Fish like salmon and mackerel are good sources. If you eat salmon, make sure its wild-caught. A study from Boston University says it has the highest vitamin D content of any fish at 988 IUs for a 3.5 ounce serving. Youll also be getting omega 3 fatty acidswhich are the gold standard in reducing inflammation naturally. Vitamin D can also be found in foods like nuts, seeds, oils, and leafy vegetables. But the levels are much lower. You may also substantially lower inflammation and reduce your risk of diabetes by taking both omega-3 fatty acids and alpha lipoic acid (ALA). In 2011, researchers at Harvard University published a ten year study of over 3,000 adults. After collecting blood samples and following the study participants for a decade, they found that those with the highest blood levels of omega-3s and ALA were significantly less likely to develop diabetes. You can find both omega-3 and ALA supplements in your local health food store and online. ALA comes in a variety of forms and dosages1200 mg daily has been used in studies to provide blood sugar support. You can boost your consumption of omega-3s by eating foods like wild Alaskan salmon, sardines, and grass-fed beef. You should also consider taking a fish oil supplement. Carlsons lemon flavored is the brand we recommend. It tastes great and the liquid is much easier to stick with than swallowing capsules every day. In the Consumer Labs report, Carlsons received the highest marks for purity and quality. Conclusion
It is not just a shame, it is downright criminal that organized medicine doesnt teach people how to prevent or reverse diabetes. Typical for mainstream medicinethe focus is on treating symptoms of the disease, rather than removing the root cause.
To see if your efforts at blood sugar control have been effective, you should regularly monitor your fasting blood glucose levels. Levels of 95 and below are best. You can also have your hemoglobin A1c level checked, which will tell you how your blood sugar levels have been over the past 3 months. Levels from 4-5.9% are considered normal.
Between the FDA, which supports commercial farming and the cash crop of high-fructose corn syr- up...Big Pharma, which has a vested interest in selling diabetes drugsand the American Diabetes Association, which has actually accepted funding from companies that make candy, soft drinks, and artificial sweetenersthe truth is buried so deep that it seems impossible for it ever to see the light of day. (17)(18)
But courageous scientists like Richard Bernstein will not be silenced. This is a man who fought his own way to healthand now in his 70's, he still works to get the word out about the natural, safe, effective cure for diabetes that he discovered.
His message is loud and clear: there is relief for diabetes and the horrendous damage it can inflict. Dr. Bernstein, and the thousands of people he has helped, are living proof. Page 6 Cure Diabetes in 3 Weeks VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.INHRESEARCH.COM Page 6 References
