SLO Vegetarians Update 2/24/09: |
 We had a surprisingly excellent program this last Sunday. For those of you who have been concerned and praying for Atonte Myers, we were able to hear her personal story of her very recent battle with Multiple Sclerosis, and the nutritional and lifestyle treatment she had chosen to use in dealing with the disease. It was a fascinating opportunity. We had a report on the latest research on MS and current medical treatments. We learned about things like "molecular mimicry" and "myelin sheaths". We saw what the MS Society website claims, "There is no proven cure for the disease" and contrasted it with the dramatic stories of "Star McDougallers" like Deb Tasic, who have dramatically halted and even reversed their MS disease. We looked at a recent research study which used bone marrow transplants and stem cells to reverse the disease, and saw that this approach has resulted in many deaths in past studies. It was dramatic! Shortly after our vege Mediterranean theme "potluck" meal, we heard a short presentation on vermiculture from Jason Brink. We now know how to maximize our garden's nutrients, with minimum hassle. Worms are now cool! Jason, our webmaster, kept us chuckling with worm secrets and his experiences with "poly-phasic" sleep. He works 4 hours and then sleeps 20 minutes around the clock! Jason's SLO Vegetarians promotional flyers, from Jason's Professional Graphics are now available and you can pick one up for your friends at our next meeting, or download one right here! Remember, the last Sunday of each month at 5 pm--see you there. |

Simply Raw - Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days |
|
Simply Raw - Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is a documentary film that chronicles six McDonald's-munching Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, live, raw foods in order to reverse diabetes naturally. The six participants are challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even cooked food as well as go without their loved ones and many of their creature comforts for 30 days. The results are amazing.
“See how diabetic people heal themselves while living in a camp with Gabriel Cousens for 30 days on a raw food diet. It will blow you away!” - HopeDance
“It's incredibly inspiring to watch these folks lose weight, lower their blood sugar levels naturally and make some great friendships while learning that you don't need to be at the mercy of insulin for the rest of your life. If you work in the field of "health care" (as I do) you have a responsibility to offer options like this to your patients and clients. And if you know anyone with diabetes - and chances are, with the prevalence of this disease being what it is, that you do - you and they just shouldn't miss out. This could change your life and your health, or that of someone you love.” - from Amazon reviews
