I bought this book online, written by Michael Dempsey, who told us his wife was in a serious condition due to diabetes. He carried out detailed researches to try to find various methods to reverse her condition and stumbled upon this magical cure by studying the lifestyle of a Vedda tribe in Sri Lanka who hunted and foraged for a living and did not eat Western style foods. Because of their lifestyle they did not suffer from diabetes. He mentioned one of the secrets is that they consumed large quantities of coconut oil. He also suggested a daily dose of 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
Other suggestions seem to be similar to advice given on other sites on the internet such as:-
Avoid sugary products
Eat brown bread, brown rice and pasta
Peanut butter and tea and coffee are O.K.
Reduce eating potatoes and cut down on fried foods
Cinnamon and ginger are good for diabetes
Chromium is good for diabetes e.g. broccoli, salmon, onions, eggs, pears, Brazil nuts, tomatoes and pork chops
Magnesium is good for diabetes e.g. nuts, green leafy vegetables, spinach, yoghurt, almonds, figs, bananas
Drink 10 glasses of water a day (8 ounces per glass) and herbal teas e.g. green tea
Avoid canned and processed foods
Buy lime juices, pure honey, turmeric, lemons, asparagus, apples, peaches, plums
I looked up details of the Vedda tribe on the internet and found that the tribe had dwindled to 802 people by the 1980's. The Sri Lanka government had built a large dam on their land and had banned hunting and growing crops, forcing the villagers to work in the surrounding villages which changed their diet and introduced health problems such as kidney infections. It seems to me that this book gives the impression that there is a magical formula to cure diabetes and discredits the pharmaceutical industry which provides pills that need to be taken regularly but do not resolve the underlying problem and that these companies have a vested interest in supplying these pills which make vast profits for their companies.
I do not know if this book is a scam as some of the suggestions are also made on various websites. I asked a question not long ago if anyone who has bought this book has noticed any improvements in their blood glucose levels in the past year but to date no one has replied to my question.
