Diabetes
(Type-2)
  

If you or someone you care about has Type-2 Diabetes, you know how downright incovenient and scary it can be. Some choose to ignore their condition, which almost guarantees future complications, while others manage their disease through their medicine cabinet.

What you might not know is that much is being written today about the reversibility of Type-2 Diabetes. Many cases have been documented in which a diabetic individual has experienced a lowering or even an elimination of their medication, as well as the signs, symptoms and complications that come with this disease--all in a matter of weeks! How, you may ask? Through lifestyle choices and changes.

Healthy PeopleOver the past decade Lifestyle Center of America has emerged as the center in the country for a proven-effective, bona fide miracle program for preventing, stopping, and even reversing the adverse effects of diabetes. And now, for the first time, their revolutionary 3-part program is outlined in book form: The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle.

By following The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle, you will:

  • Achieve and maintain your ideal weight for the rest of your life
  • Be likely to dramatically reduce or stop many of your medications
  • Avoid hospitalizations, surgeries, and debilitating complications
  • Eliminate counterproductive lifestyle choices and habits
  • Have more hope, energy, and zest for life
  • Take ownership of your own health and future
  • Feel and look healthier than you ever imagined possible
  • Discover that you can control or stop--not just 'manage'--your diabetes

"The diagnosis of diabetes no longer needs to be a disability and death sentence. The drug cabinet no longer needs to run your life. By following the clinically proven program in The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle, you can stop the progress of diabetes, reverse its signs and symptoms, and even reverse some of its complications, and lower, if not eliminate, your medication requirements within weeks. At the same time, your high blood pressure and cholesterol will drop, your excess weight will come down, and you can start living again. The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle is the path back to sanity, to health, and to hope."

The book also features dozens of recipes, from which this is a delicious sample (used with permission)

Mediterranean Barley and Lentil Soup
*(items in large, bold print are available at our store)
1 c. water
½ c. dry French lentils, cleaned and rinsed
2 Tbsp.pearl barley
2 tsp. olive oil
¾ c. onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. ground coriander 

1/16 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. onion salt
1 cinnamon stick
1 c. plus 2 Tbsp. canned low-sodium diced tomatoes
5 c. water
1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. McKay's chicken style seasoning, vegan

In a large soup pot, combine 1 cup water, lentils, and barley.  Bring to a boil uncovered and cook for 20 minutes.  The water should be nearly gone.  While the lentils and barley are cooking, in a medium skillet heat the olive oil, add the onion and garlic and sauté 10 minutes.  When lentils and barley are done cooking, add sautéed onion and garlic to the soup pot along with the remaining ingredients.  Bring to a boil again, reduce the heat, partially cover, and simmer for 40 minutes.  Remove the cinnamon stick and serve hot.
