A NEW BIBLE CURE WITH
NEW HOPE FOR DIABETES

A NEW BIBLE CURE WITH
NEW HOPE FOR DIABETES

G ODS DESIRE IS for you to feel better and to live longer, and He will help you reach that goal! By picking up this revised and expanded Bible Cure book, you have taken an exciting first step toward renewed energy, health, and vigor.

You may be confronting the greatest physical challenge of your life. But with faith in God and good nutrition, combined with cutting-edge alternative natural remedies, I believe it will be your greatest victory! God revealed His divine will for each of us through the apostle John, who wrote, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers (3 John 2, NKJV).

Nearly two thousand years later, almost 24 million Americans suffer from a disease called diabetesand a fourth of them dont even know they have it! Diabetes kills more people than AIDS and breast cancer combined and reportedly ranks as the sixth leading cause of death by disease among adults in America.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2030, the number of individuals with diabetes worldwide will double. That means we could see the number of people suffering from diabetes worldwide reach as high as 360 million within the next twenty years.

Within the United States, type 2 diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate. Approximately one out of ten Americans age twenty and older has diabetes.

Why are we seeing such an increase in diabetes? It is simply the result of the obesity epidemic: two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese, and one-fifth of children in the United States are overweight.

Surely we are missing Gods best for us. But how? Many physicians are looking for the next new-and-improved medicine in order to treat diabetes. Instead, we need to get to the root of the problem, which is our diet, lifestyle, and waistline.

Fast food, junk food, convenience foods, sodas, sweetened coffee drinks, juices, smoothies, large portion sizes, and skipping meals are all pieces of the problem. The standard American diet is also full of empty carbohydrates, sugars, fats, excessive proteins, excessive calories, and large portion sizes, and it is quite low in nutrient content. This diet literally causes us to lose nutrients such as chromium, which is very important in glucose regulation.

Lack of activity is another piece of the problem. Most children are no longer playing sports and participating in other activities but are instead hooked on video games, computers, text messaging, TV shows, and movies as they gain more and more weight in the process.

Also, the excessive stress that most adults and many children are under is increasing cortisol levels, and, as a result, many are developing toxic belly fat, which increases the risk of diabetes. Long-term stress also depletes stress hormones as well as neurotransmitters, which usually unleash a ravenous appetite as well as addictions to sugar and carbohydrates.

Galatians 6:78 says, Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life (NKJV). Most Americans are unknowingly sowing seeds for a harvest of obesity, diabetes, and a host of other diseases by their choices of food and lifestyle habits.

I often say that prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are choice diseases. In other words, you catch a cold or you catch the flu, but you develop obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes as a result of wrong choices.

Hosea 4:6 says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (NKJV). My books The Seven Pillars of Health and Eat This and Live! and my new weight-loss book, Dr. Colberts I CanDo This Diet, provide a good foundation for changing dietary patterns, improving lifestyle habits, and losing weightespecially the toxic belly fat that is so closely related to diabetes.
