[QUOTE="AlexMBrennan, post: 449071, member: 82151"] Because there are hundreds of people out there selling miracle diets and cures for all kinds of diseases, so over time we had to develop a system for figuring out what works and what doesn't. But since science is hard these gurus continue selling to the ignorant public rather than conducting expensive studies which would likely just show that their diet is as useless as the rest (hint: look at the verity of miracle diets - they can't all work). Sadly, unlike medicines which cannot be advertised directly to patients there is no such protection from these scams. Regarding that video you linked: if you it people on an extremely restricted diet (no meat, dairy, break or cooked food - they looked like they were about to throw up when they tasted their first meal) then obviously insulin requirements will go down. Extreme low calorie diets (e.g. Newcastle diet) are not unheard of, so your conclusion - that it's the raw food magic that's healing them is completely unfounded. Edit to add: And they explicitly claim (1:24:00) that type 1 diabetes can be cured using their diet :thumbdown: If you are doing well on a raw vegan diet you enjoy then that's brilliant - but it is irresponsible to go around telling everyone that it's the raw vegan diet that's doing it unless you can actually back that up with evidence.
