Plant based diet can reverse diabetes ( I and II ). For type I milk products need to be stopped. Take 1% of your bodyweight as fruits. Take 1 % of your body weight as Raw ( uncooked ) vegetables. Take 10% of that vegetable quota as green leafy vegetables. Based on China Study by Colin Campbell.

e.g. weight 150 pounds 1.5 pounds fruits before 1 pm 1.5 pounds raw vegetables for the day If you are still hungry you can eat cooked food after completing daily raw fruits vegetable quota. Avoid all animal,milk,processed packaged products and heated oils. Will reverse diabetes in 3 days for newly detected patients. Add 1 day for each year you have diabetes

You mean diabetes type 2.

It's tiring to keep getting suggestions of how to change diet when my body absolutely needs insulin from an external source. Further, while people may be able to reverse type 2, they still need insulin until they actually get there. So research into insulin delivery is relevant to all diabetics.

Also there are many ways of reducing carbohydrate intake. The diet you write about is just one of many ways to do that. Why single it out?

[visava]

It is not just about carbohydrates.It is the healing by natural minerals vitamins from fruits and vegetables which cannot be replaced by supplements. There is a long science with research papers which cannot be explained here.

[lolc]

Nutrition research is a minefield of easy answers. People who speak in certainties (like you do) can be presumed to not have studied it in depth.

It can't be explained here because it's wrong. People with Type I are born with or later develop an inability to produce insulin. It may be physical (the removal of a pancreas) or an autoimmune condition can destroy the beta cells, or they were born without functioning beta cells. Type II is a disease of poor nutrition, and is absolutely reversible through diet, exercise and/or fasting. Type I is a physical inability to produce insulin. Fruits won't solve that.

T1 can’t be reversed.

[jameane]

Exactly. My sister is type 1 because she doesn't have a pancreas. So no diet is going to change that.

This diet with stopping milk products can. Milk protein with 17 rings similar to beta cells. Body in an attempt to kill milk protein which escapes into blood without breaking down the ring structure also kills beta cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4edofibXOiM watch at 48 mins

This part of the video makes no sense. (I didn't watch the rest.)

From the video:

> If you observe milk protein (casein) under a microscope it will appears as this - there are 17 links in it.

The video says "links", you say "rings". It's a small but important distinction. Proteins are made by linked aminoacids, so sing "link" is a good approximation, but most of them don't look like "rings".

I can't find where the "17" comes from. After a few google searches I found that casein has approximately 210 aminoacids, the number can vary, but it is not 17.

(Also, you can't see a single casein protein under a normal microscope, nor the parts of it. I guess it's only a metaphor, but it makes me suspicious.)

I don't find the part in the video that says that casein escapes to blood. (I didn't try too hard.)

Casein is split in the stomach by the enzymes IIRC they are the regular enzymes that also split the proteins in meat, and other food, not specialized enzymes.

(There is an specialized enzyme for lactose that is an special sugar in milk, but this is not what the video or you say. But if this were dangerous, we'd have a lot of babies with diabetes. Moreover, only some adults produce the enzyme to digest lactose, so it would be easy to test.)

I didn't find a source that says that beta cells have some proteins that are similar to casein. It is posible, but I doubt.

And IIRC most autoinmune diseases, where the body get confused and start to attack some part of it don't go away after you remove the initial agent that causes the reaction. So stopping drinking milk won't stop the reaction.

It would be a sensation if that worked! Just because a guy in a suit says so doesn't make it any truer. Please stop peddling pseudoscience.
