A synthesis of his thirty-five years of clinical experience, There Is a Cure for Diabetes presents a practical, comprehensive, and highly effective holistic approach for treating and curing one of our most common diseases. It is the greatest contribution to the treatment of diabetes Ive encountered in the forty years since I began my medical training.
Dr. Rob Ivker, DO, ABHM, co-founder and past president of the American Board of Holistic Medicine and author ofSinus Survival
As a doctor who has treated diabetes for nearly thirty years, I can tell you with certainty that the standard medical protocols and management of this illness are not only inappropriate, theyre absurd. In sharp contrast, Gabriel Cousens has developed a protocol for successfully restoring the health and well-being of diabetics, sparing them the pain and agony of unnecessary and inevitable amputations, obesity, blindness, and premature death. If followed, his advice provides diabetics freedom from their illness and enriches the quality of their lives.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
There Is a Cure for Diabetes has been an interesting collective effort over 40 years, of input mostly from clients, who have been my main teachers, and of inspiration from the pioneers of the live-foods movement, each illuminating another aspect of the live-food approach to healing diabetes naturally. These people include Viktoras Kulvinskas, MS, who specifically offered his insights in the importance of enzyme therapy for diabetes; Dr. Brian Clement of Hippocrates Health Institute; and Reverend George Malkmus of Hallelujah Acres. All expressed their experience in confirming the viability of a live-foods approach to diabetes reversal.
Dr. Edmond Bordeaux Szekeley, over a period of 30 years (194070), healed all manner of diseases, including diabetes, with a live-food diet. Max Gerson, MD, made some of the earliest and best-publicized public healings with live foods, including healing Dr. Albert Schweitzer of diabetes. I also want to acknowledge Paavo Airola, ND, PhD, who shared his insights on healing diabetes as a key nutritional mentor for eight years. I appreciate the pioneering work of Neal Barnard, MD, and the practice of John McDougall, MD, which clinically support the general efficacy of a plant-source diet for diabetes reversal.
To my two inspiring and guiding enlightened spiritual teachers, Swami Prakashananda and Swami Muktananda Paramahansa from India, who both had diabetes and showed how it could be managed with a simple vegan diet. With gratitude to my assistant, Joshua Sedam, for the second edition, which is almost entirely a new book. Joshua Sedams work allowed this new edition to be accomplished more quickly and thoroughly than I could have done on my own. Special thanks to my master student and Essene priestess
