Scott's Story

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 10 years ago with a blood sugar of 494. My doctor immediately put me on medication and that started the downward spiral to eating potato chips, red meats, fast food, and drinking alcohol. I became so numb and used to taking metformin that I was tired all the time, my blood sugar was up and down, I was mad at everyone around me for having the luxury of eating the way I wanted to eat. I was on 100 mg. Losartan every morning to control my blood pressure. I was taking metformin twice, sometimes more at 500 mg each dose. I would usually snack and eat late, so my sugar was always high at bedtime. I also took statin drugs due to my high cholesterol.

 I finally got sick of being sick and tired and looked online for ways to reversing my condition. I found an angel named Dr. Joel Fuhrman.  I absorbed his book Eat to Live and slowly converted to his diet plan with very little meat. I like steak once in a while but am seeing myself completely vegan soon.

 I lost 40 pounds, and although am not at my ideal weight, I am controlling my blood sugar through greens, whole foods, beans, seeds, and nuts. I don't eat dairy any longer and my life is fantastic right now. Because of Dr. Fuhrman, I have my life back and am so grateful for his work here on earth.  It took me about three years to come off all the medications, but if I was more disciplined I could have done it quicker. Growing up a meat and potatoes guy, it was hard for me to convert, especially when family members are eating toxic foods.  Now I am 95 percent a healthy eater and when talking to my daughter about a particular food I always tell her this is Fuhrman approved, it's not going to harm us.

If you're like me, just start slowly and be patient and love yourself and make the right choices for your holy temple. God only gave us one body, we need to love it and nourish it properly, not with processed crap from the boxes they sell in grocery stores or fast food. Plan your meals and take care of yourself like you're worth it, because you are.

I also want to thank Dr. Fuhrman for introducing me to the food revolution as John and Ocean Robbins are also an inspiration in my life, helping people see the truth. I want everyone to know I'm off statin drugs and also blood pressure medication. I am 50 years young and looking forward to spreading the news about how food is your best medicine.
