Raw for 30 Days is an independent documentary film that chronicles six McDonald’s-munching Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, live, uncooked, raw foods in order to reverse diabetes naturally. The six participants are challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even cooked food – as well as go without their loved ones and many of their creature comforts – for 30 days.
Can food heal the body? Can diabetes be reversed or cured through diet? Can a diabetic thrive without insulin injections and other drugs? Can people subsisting on a Standard American Diet (SAD) give up their favorite foods and favorite vices for 30 days? Can six strangers of diverse ages, races, and backgrounds support and nurture each other through this life altering challenge?
Raw for 30 Days shows each participant’s remarkable journey and captures the medical, physical, emotional and spiritual transformations brought on by this radical diet and lifestyle change. Participants were supervised by Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D. (H) and Helen Ross, M.D. at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona.
The six participants were selected in a nationwide search and brought to the quiet and rustic desert retreat, which is world famous for turning around even chronic conditions with a regimen combining raw, organic, living nutrition, exercise, yoga, meditation, education and counseling. The program was developed by Dr. Cousens, who is working on a book about his findings and the techniques he uses to reverse diabetes naturally in as little as two weeks.
The feature film Raw for 30 Days is now available through their website. A compendium DVD is also being produced about the program to reverse diabetes, consisting of interviews with experts plus raw food preparation demos with top chefs. The compendium DVD is being made for direct online purchase so that individuals and families can follow the health program at home.
David Wolfe from ‘Food Matters‘ features in Raw for 30 Days along with Morgan Spurlock, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Robbins, Rev. Michael Beckwith, and Doctors Fred Bisci, Joel
Furman, and Gary Null.

There should be plenty of information there to help you.

The problem isn’t meat and cooking, it’s the sugar, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food and packaged food that is marketed and created specifically to be addictive.
Certainly switching from McDonald’s to raw food will have positive benefits, but so would simply removing McDonald’s. As an overweight, heavily processed food eater, switching to a raw food diet would result in a fairly rapid weight loss, which would no doubt merit positive effects. But, in contrast, people also do Atkins and drastically improve their blood sugar in 2 weeks as well.
Treating diabetes strictly with medication is ridiculous, because certainly if food is the cause, it should also be part of the cure. But many cooked, non-vegan foods are just as nutritionally dense, if not more so, than their vegan, non-cooked counterparts.
Instead of 30 days of, “I don’t care for the food at all,” “The food sucks, it sucks all the time,” people can just as easily change their diet to something more realistic, and improve their health without associating it with suffering. A lot of the reason, I believe, people struggle so much with “diets” in that sense is because they see it as satisfaction and obesity, or suffering and health, which it’s totally untrue.
My dad has type 2 diabetes. He manages diabetes through Diet and Exercise and alo by taking food supplements like Alpha Lipoic acid which helps in preventing nerve damage. He also takes Chromium which helps in the regulation of blood sugar.
You can always manage Diabetes by proper diet and nutrition. Food supplements also help slow down some of the side effects of high blood sugar.

Most people get Diabetes because of the lack of exercise and overeating. We should be more aware of our lazy lifestyles and start exercising regulary to avoid Type II Diabetes.
Diabetes can be prevented by just having a physically active lifestyle. Just exercise everyday and avoid eating too much. Avoid sweets and high carb foods too.
thx for sharing this!
With current advances in stem cell research, it won’t be long before we can find a permanent cure for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. -
