Perhaps you’ve seen the news that Price Is Right host Drew Carey reversed his Type 2 diabetes and is now “a new man.”
“I’m not diabetic anymore. No medication needed,” Carey recently announced.
Doctors stubbornly maintain there’s no cure for either Type 2 or Type 1 diabetes.
Obviously, they’re not reading their own medical journals. Several studies show that Type 2 is easily reversed with a few simple lifestyle changes
And in our book, The 30-Day Diabetes Cure, Dr. Stefan Ripich describes numerous patients who became entirely free of their Type 2 diabetes simply by altering their lifestyle.
Then there’s the mysterious case of actress Halle Berry, who cured her Type 1 diabetes by eating a better diet, getting more exercise and destressing her busy life.
Like Drew Carey, these people no longer have any diabetic symptoms and are completely off medications.
Now that Carey is living proof, perhaps the medical community — and the 80 million Americans with Type 2 and prediabetes — will realize that the solution to today’s diabetes epidemic is right under our nose. Literally!
I certainly hope so, because diabetes is now the Number One health problem on the planet, affecting nearly 300 million people. In fact, it’s the fastest-spreading noninfectious disease in human history.
One new patient is diagnosed every 10 seconds. Seven million new cases are added every year. Six people die from its horrible complications every minute.
More than 60 million Americans are walking around with this silently destructive disease — or are on the brink (prediabetes) — and most are completely unaware of it!
It’s absolutely true. Of course, that’s if we wanted to — which we obviously don’t.
Last year, $400 billion dollars was spent on diabetes treatments. This represents a lot of test strips, monitors, drugs and insulin, laboratory costs, doctor visits and medical procedures.
Clearly, there’s far more money in treating diabetes than curing it!
And that may explain why, of the $400 billion spent on diabetes last year, less than 1 percent went for patient education and prevention awareness programs, even though they are proven to be the most effective weapons in dealing with diabetes that we have.
Meanwhile, fast food and soda lobbyists spent $56,771,216 in 2009 to prevent our elected representatives from exposing the harm fast food and beverage products inflict on the public health. That makes Type 2 diabetes the world’s first corporate-sponsored disease.
In order to reverse his diabetes, the 52-year-old comic lost 80 pounds, going from a size 44 waist to a 34 in about seven months.
His secret?
“Lots of cardio,” he said. “At least 45 minutes of cardio, six days a week.” He also worked with a personal trainer who watched over him, providing regular advice and motivation.
Then there was his diet: He cut out carbohydrates (although he admits he cheated a few times) and gave up crackers, bread, pizza, corn, beans and all starches.
Instead, he ate lots of egg whites, fruit and Greek yogurt. His sole beverage was water.
He also told a reporter he was using a “custom-made appetite suppressant administered by a Hollywood nutritionist.”
Hats off to Carey for sticking with such a Draconian regimen for 7 months. (I wouldn’t want to — and neither would most people.)
But it’s easy to see why the Hollywood crowd is now engaged in “The Drew Carey Watch,” waiting for the paparazzi snapshots that document his re-blimping.
Man does not live by egg whites and water alone. So my bet is that someone with a lifelong love of food and eating like Carey has won’t stick to this Gulag-like menu much longer.
After all, food is about both pleasure and health. If Drew has any hope of maintaining his new weight, he’d better find a diet that will satisfy both, such as the Diabetes Healing Diet highlighted in The Diabetes Healing Cookbook.
For one thing, losing all that weight didn’t reverse his diabetes — even though the latest medical thinking believes it does.
It’s really the other way around: Reversing diabetes resulted in his weight loss.
Here’s how.
When a diabetic stops eating the sugary foods and fast carbs that pump up his blood sugar levels and trigger insulin surges, weight loss occurs without trying (or dieting).
That’s because insulin’s main job is to turn all that excess blood sugar (called glucose) into fat (technically, triglycerides) and store it around your waist, hips and everywhere else. More insulin equals more fat.
By reducing glucose and insulin, your metabolism will begin burning your stored body fat for fuel. Result? Your body sheds pounds automatically.
Climbing off the couch definitely will enhance this process. But 45 minutes of intense cardio is extreme and unnecessary, unless you just love running.
If you don’t (and I only know a few folks past 50 who do), a daily 20-minute walk — or some yoga, dance lessons, gardening, stationary cycling, swimming, etc. — is sufficient to stoke your metabolic furnace.
Bottom line? Had he read The 30-Day Diabetes Cure, Drew could have lost all that weight (and even more!) without starving and exercising like crazy. And his chances of keeping it off would be much higher.
While it was unintentional, Drew Carey is the high-profile embodiment of our society’s current obesity/weight loss dilemma.
More than 70% of the American population is either overweight or morbidly obese.
Nearly 30% of us already have some form of diabetes or on the threshold of developing it.
How did we get here? Bad food choices.
The food industry suckered us into getting hooked on all manner of junk that made them a fortune — and made us sick.
All those convenience foods made it easy for us satisfy our advertising-driven cravings, while never considering the consequences of our nonstop, unconscious nibbling and noshing.
. . . Because the health consequences are too serious to ignore.
Having diabetes adds 15 years to a patient’s appearance (due to accelerated oxidation) and subtracts 20 years from his or her lifespan.
And it’s not a pretty way to go.
A diabetic’s odds of heart attack are 400% higher than the general population. In fact, 75% of all diabetes-related deaths are from cardiac failure.
Then there are the inevitable complications, such as vision loss, painful neuropathy and limb amputation.
Diabetes drugs can’t protect against these nasty complications. Neither will aggressive glucose lowering.
FACT: Studies confirm that you can have perfect blood sugar and still succumb to complications and premature death.
The only true solution is to reverse your condition now if you have Type 2 diabetes — or to dramatically lower your insulin dose if you have Type 1 diabetes.
Both can only be achieved by modifying your diet and lifestyle not by relying on drugs. (For the most effective changes you can make, see The 30-Day Diabetes Cure.)
It usually takes an “a-ha!” moment like this to trigger a turnaround in a person’s medical condition.
“It sucks being fat,” Drew told reporters. “Really, I just got sick of it.”
Tragically, this moment will never come for the vast majority of people with a life-threatening medical problem such as diabetes, heart disease, depression or obesity.
It’s just too easy to remain in denial. Or to entertain blind hope that you’ll be one of the “lucky ones” who will beat the odds without lifting a finger to improve your chances. (Don’t bet on it!)
But a small percentage of people like Drew Carey actually see the writing on the wall and decide to make a change.
He may not have done it perfectly, or have taken the wisest route, but what counts is that he did it.
He got sick and tired of his situation, and he changed it.
He’s an example and inspiration to us all.
(At least, I hope he will be.)

Jim,
I also bought the book – 30 Day Diabetes Cure and did not get my free reports. I bought the book under my work email and was not able to download or print them out at work. I tried to forward your email with links to my home email and I could not access my reports to print them out at home because it kept asking me to buy the book again. Could you please re-send the link to my home email:
stcecilia7@aol.com
Thanks, Sharon
Please resend my confirmation email so I can get the reports that came with my book. I accidently deleted them when thy first came. Thank you. Carol Taubman, cjoant@msn.com
Carol,
Your free reports have been re-sent to you. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Sharon,
I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you, as the system does not allow you to forward the free reports unless you have purchased the book. I have resent them to your requeted email address. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
I really want to get diabetes out of my body. I am 67 years old and I want to get rid of this disease so I can get in better health and be around to help other seniors to get healthier. this will help the big insurance fraud. The insurance does cover most of the expense but it puts a tremendous load on the insurance carriers. I have always said that seniors would eat better if they had more money, me inclusive. It costs the insurance company around $2000./mo for my medications. 80 million Americans have diabetes and growing like wildfire. I can see the $400 Billion in medications per year.
I would like to meet Drew Carey as we need to get the word out and let the whole world know we can cure diabetes. Lowering blood sugar naturally will help us to lose weight naturally without having to diet. We can eat healthy nutritious foods. My email is louisflaco@live.com. Let’s touch base. Thanks Lou
Hi, Louis. I’d like to meet him too. So far, he hasn’t responded to my invitations. Lety me know if you’re more successsful. JH

Judy,
When you read the book, there are numerous suggestions throughout the chapters for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and snacks. Just be patient, keep reading and you will find all the information you need.
LeeAnn
Reading Judy’s comments make me a bit concerned after just buying the book. I was hoping for some good guidance and menu suggestions to be in there. The recipes in the free book are not overly exciting to my taste and I eat very healthfully. My husband has been diagnosed as pre-diabetes so I am trying to get a head start. He and I don’t eat anywhere near the same and he hasn’t a taste for the more healthful fair but is willing to try.
Hi, Suzanne. Sorry you’re disappointed by the recipes in our diabetes book. It wasn’t meant to be a cookbook, only directives on diabetes healing foods – and the foods which make diabetes worse. If you are a member of our My Healing Kitchen website, you’ll find a wide variety of diabetes healing meals for all tastes. Additionally, the recently published The Diabetes Healing Cookbook which is available at http://www.diabeteshealingcookbook.com

I ordered a second book that is supposed to have a CD and DVD’s, but I haven’t received anything more from the My Healthy Kitchen website. I know it is getting close to Christmas and shipments will take longer, but I haven’t heard a peep from Jim Healthy.
Hello Charlie,
You should have received an email explaining that due to the overwhelming success of the CD’s and DVD’s your order is on a slight back order. I do believe that the new shipments are being released on the 20th of December and will be mailed out Priority Mail.
