A leading medical authority in the world of live-food nutrition, Dr. Cousens exposes the dangers of excess glucose and fructose as the key causes of this seemingly unstoppable epidemic that affects more than 25 million Americans and 347 million people worldwide.
Cousens, whose Diabetes Recovery Program is the most successful anti-diabetes program in the world, presents a 3-week plan that focuses on a moderate-low complex carbohydrate, live food, plant-source-only diet that reverses diabetes to a physiology of health and well-being by resetting the genetic expression of a person’s DNA.
The program renders insulin and related medicines unnecessary within 4 days as the blood sugar drops to normal levels, and the diabetic shifts into a nondiabetic physiology within 2 weeks.
Substantially revised throughout, this practical and encouraging guide reveals the risks of low cholesterol and low omega-3s in one’s diet and includes more than 140 delicious and healthy recipes. The book represents a major breakthrough in understanding the synergy that helps cure diabetes.

Dr. Gabriel Cousens also approaches diabetes from the perspective of clinical research. With over 30 years experience clinically supervising live-food vegan retreat centers, he has compiled data specific to diabetes. Dr. Cousens’ philosophy agrees with standard medical thinking in that the cause of diabetes is refined carbo- hydrates in the diet. In addition, like Dr. Barnard, he attests that cooked animal fat and trans-fatty acids are the second major contributors to this disease.
Dr. Cousens’ approach to healing diabetes is to live within a fasting blood sugar of 70-85mg/dL, and that caloric restriction, or fasting, is a “potent means of achieving this.” This is just the start, but is certainly a paradigm shift for people who are more likely to live to eat, rather than eat to live.
His primary approach is through a detoxification process which includes juice “feasting,” or drinking several glasses a day of freshly juiced vegetables for up to 92 days.
Other components of the diet include live or raw vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouted beans and grains, and some specific cooked grains such as brown rice and barley. Individual diets will vary in the level of glycemic control, as determined by the severity of a patient’s diabetes. This is especially notable with regard to the presence or absence of fruit in the diet.
At his rejuvenation center called Tree of Life, Dr. Cousens has created a 21-day comprehensive program for diabetics, in which patients implement these dietary changes. Dr. Cousens combines diet with modalities of homeopathy, ayurveda and naturopathy, and is also a proponent and facilitator of spiritual awareness in heal- ing of the body. He has helped many patients taper off their medications, and to be able to control their blood sugar through food choices.
