Early Diagnosis and Unexpected Response

When John was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 9, his experience was anything but typical. For almost two years, he required minimal insulin and could eat a variety of foods without significant blood sugar spikes, leaving his doctors astonished. It seemed as though his pancreas was still producing insulin, fighting to maintain its function.

Exploring Alternative Therapies

In an effort to manage his condition, John and his family turned to various alternative therapies. He consulted with a Qi Gong master from China, a kinesiologist, an acupuncturist, and a massage therapist. John also experimented with different dietary approaches, such as consuming bitter cucumber, which seemed to help during those initial years. These practitioners believed that John’s diabetes was not conventional and could be cured, attributing it to issues with his stomach and kidneys.

Teenage Years: Struggles and Neglect

As a teenager, John found it challenging to take responsibility for his health. Despite the advice and treatments from various healers, he often disregarded their recommendations. His lifestyle included unhealthy eating habits and alcohol consumption, leading to high HbA1c levels for about two to three years.

A Turning Point: Embracing a Healthier Lifestyle

A significant change occurred when John’s father sought help for alcoholism after nearly 20 years. This revelation motivated John to make a commitment to his own health. With guidance from his mother, he embraced a healthier lifestyle, becoming a vegetarian and exploring different dietary regimens, including raw food and a low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet.

Discovering a Pancreatic Infection

In April 2011, a visit to a frequency healer, recommended by his mother, led to a groundbreaking discovery. The healer used a machine that analyzed the frequencies emitted by John’s body, revealing an infection in his pancreas rather than typical diabetes. This diagnosis was a shock after 11 years of managing diabetes symptoms. The healer recommended an alkaline diet to address the stomach issues contributing to the pancreatic infection.

Recovery and Continued Efforts

Following the healer’s advice, John saw significant improvements in his blood sugar levels within six weeks. Although the healer indicated that full recovery would take many months due to the long duration of his symptoms, John was determined to continue his journey towards better health.

Volunteering in Costa Rica: Challenges and Progress

From August to November 2011, John volunteered in Costa Rica, facing difficulties with local food and carbohydrate intake, which affected his blood sugar levels. However, upon returning home and resuming control over his diet, he achieved great results and sometimes no longer needed his long-acting insulin.

Finding Joy in Exercise

John discovered that engaging in physical activities he enjoyed, such as skateboarding, parkour, snowboarding, and surfing, helped stabilize and lower his blood sugar levels. The key was finding joy in exercise, which significantly contributed to his overall well-being.

A Life Free from Diabetes

Through a combination of alternative therapies, dietary changes, and a commitment to a healthier lifestyle, John managed to come off insulin and maintain stable blood sugar levels. His story is a testament to the power of holistic approaches and personal determination in managing and overcoming health challenges.
