Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days. You betcha!

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is an independent documentary film that chronicles six Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, uncooked food in order to reverse disease without pharmaceutical medication.

The six are challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even cooked food for 30 days. The film follows each participant's remarkable journey and captures the medical, physical, and emotional transformations brought on by this radical diet and lifestyle change. We witness moments of struggle, support, and hope as what is revealed, with startling clarity, is that diet can reverse disease and change lives.

The film highlights each of the six before they begin the program and we first meet them in their home environment with their families. Each participant speaks candidly about their struggle to manage their diabetes and how it has affected every aspect of their life, from work to home to their relationships.

IMO: Beats shots and medication...

Why is Nutrition Info So Confusing?

Hey, Marco here. My neighbor, (#1) Ph.D from Harvard tells me to go on the vinegar diet. He says I'll live to be 150. My other neighbor,  (#2) also Ph.D from Harvard tells that if I listen to neighbor number one, I'll die tomorrow. What does this mean? What works for me may not work for you. Get it? Eat real food! (But you probably have no idea what real food is...)

The Top 10 Myths About Eating Fruit

Fruit has universally been recognized as the healthiest food there is, yet it’s also the one natural food that’s vilified the most by many trends of the natural health and raw food movements. This of course started with the dangerous low-carb trend, which would like you to believe that eating slabs of butter on grilled steaks is actually healthier than eating the natural “sugar” in fruit.

This unscientific trend has also been picked up by the largest proportion of the raw food theorists, many of which go to the extreme of saying that eating lots of sweet fruit is actually unnatural and unhealthy.

Even the popular Hippocrates Health Institute has launched a fear campaign on eating fruit, claiming that fruit eating is responsible for the common health problems experienced by the majority of raw foodists.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that a lot of people in the raw food movement are actually scared of eating fruit. Literally.

So let’s take a look at the most common statements made about fruit, and bust them once and for all.
