Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days (Uncooked Matroska Det

Synopsis:



After arriving at The Tree of Life in Arizona, the group receives entry

exams and medical tests, and is placed under the care of Dr. Gabriel

Cousens. Dr. Cousens is a well known holistic medical doctor, as well as an

authority on alternative healing and raw living food nutritional therapies.

Medical discussions and group support meetings were held daily and medical

checks conducted twice a day. The participants are encouraged to exercise,

practice yoga and meditation, and are taught about food selection and

preparation.



Reactions varied to this regime. All experienced a variety of emotions

about the new diet and new lifestyle that they were immersed in. Some

adapted to the changes more easily, others expressed feelings of deprivation

and frustration with the shift from their familiar diet and environment.

After a short time following the protocol, their blood sugar levels began

dropping without medication and they were delighted as their bodies felt

better and their minds experienced a deeper clarity. They began to believe

that it was possible to reverse their disease with diet and the

transformation from feeling powerless about their diabetes, to feeling

empowered and healthy, emerges as they witness dramatic changes within

themselves.



Simply Raw reveals, with startling clarity, that diet can reverse diabetes*

and change the quality of people’s lives. The film captures the human drama

and struggle of these courageous individuals making a quantum leap of faith

from a traditional junk food diet to a raw vegan diet and it shows revealing

moments of nurturing, compassion, and human spirit. It is a film about a

life changing journey on a simply raw diet and how nature is the original

medicine.
