 Borderline impaired fasting glucose tolerance is 86 to 99 (a precursor for pre-diabetes); and an FBS at 100 and over is considered pre-diabetes by the tree of life 21-Day+ standards. This is significantly different from the current assumptions. On October 24,2003 the scientific committee of the American Diabetes Association actually did create a new and better definition of pre-diabetic or impaired glucose tolerance of a blood glucose of 100 or greater. |
| At the tree of life, we only use 40 grams of glucose in a five-hour test because the sugar is such a stress on the system. We find clinically that our results have been highly sensitive and accurate at this amount. Another test for diabetes is the glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbAlc), which is not as specific or sensitive as the glucose tolerance test, but a lot easier to do. A value of 6.0 suggests there is no diabetes. The glycosylated hemoglobin test has to do with how much protein hemoglobin in the red blood cells is glycosylated. |
| At the tree of life Rejuvenation Center we have found dramatic positive results in healing diabetes by putting people on live foods with a live-moderate-fat diet. We recommend 15-20 percent uncooked fat, depending on a person's constitution. This is still moderately low. Plant source food has no cholesterol, so all blood lipid levels tend to go to normal. |
| Borderline (or early pre-diabetes) impaired fasting glucose tolerance is 86 to 99, an FBS of 100 and higher is considered pre-diabetes, and above 126 is diabetes by the tree of life 21-Day+ standards. Below is a summary of the FBS results that we achieved for our eleven participants, all off their oral hypoglycemics or insulin. The initial fasting blood sugar results were achieved with all on oral hypoglycemics and insulin. Everyone was off these medications within four days of beginning the program. |
| This soil exhaustion creates exhausted and diseased plants, exhausted and diseased animals, and exhausted and diseased human beings.
The tree of life 21-Day+ Program employs several routes to rem-ineralization: fresh organic plant foods eaten, juiced, and blended (including sea vegetables); superfood powder blends; and bioavailable mineral supplementation. |
| MAIMONIDES, JEWISH RABBI, PHILOSOPHER AND MASTER WHOLISTIC PHYSICIAN TO EGYPTIAN SULTAN
The first principle of the tree of life 21-Day+ Program to heal diabetes naturally is a prudent diet that we call the Culture of Life anti-diabetogenic diet: organic, plant-source only, live (raw) food, relatively high complex carbohydrate, 15-20 percent (low to moderate) plant-based fats, moderate protein, low glycemic index, low insulin index, high minerals, no refined carbohydrate (especially white flour and white sugar), high fiber, moderate caloric intake, and prepared with love. |

 In addition to being the founder of the tree of life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona and author of Conscious Eating and Depression Free For Life, you are widely considered one of the pioneers of the raw foods movement. So let's start with the basics and ask the obvious questions most readers might be wondering about: Why live food? Why the tree of life? What's in it for them? Why is it worth the effort to pursue a raw foods lifestyle?
Cousens: That's a very good question. The bottom line is: Because it feels good. |
| I realized that people had to have a living experience, and so that's how the tree of life Rejuvenation Center got started. This is a living experience of what it's like. If you want to feel good, come for a week and you'll feel good. Then, we added support. Okay, if a person just comes to the tree of life and they just want to visit, there are classes in food preparation, meditation, yoga, sprouting, so suddenly, they become empowered. Then, we have people who want to go further, which is, of course, what we like to see happen. |
| Why the tree of life? What's in it for them? Why is it worth the effort to pursue a raw foods lifestyle?
Cousens: That's a very good question. The bottom line is: Because it feels good. We don't know how long we're going to live, but if we're going to live, we should be in a totally healthy place. I've been on live foods since 1983. It's a very long time, and I'm in my sixty-third year, and the result of that is I'm more flexible than I was when I was captain of an undefeated football team at Amherst College, in the National Football Hall of Fame, and I'm stronger. |
| Mike: Along that line, you've had thousands of people come here to the tree of life Rejuvenation Center. Do you have any statistics or anecdotal evidence about the number of people who were able to so safely get off those prescription drugs because those symptoms had vanished? Is that an area you're comfortable discussing?
Cousens: Well, if I said 100 percent ...
Mike: People wouldn't believe 100 percent. |

 Genuine Earth harmony
So that is only the beginning of what you will experience here at the tree of life Center. The second notable thing here is that you will observe and get to experience a way of living in harmony with the earth that is not widely practiced in modern society. Here, everything is conducted with a sense of sustainability and a sense of sacredness for the earth itself. Nothing done here is harmful to the planet, and there are efforts to reinvest energy into the planet. |

| And that's just the beginning of what you'll find at the tree of life Rejuvenation Center.
If you're skeptical about living foods, I don't blame you. I was skeptical as well, and that's why I came here. That's why I'm conducting my own 30-day live foods challenge, to try it myself. I encourage you to come here and try it, too. Raw foods are not what you may think. You may think that it's bland, that it's nothing but salads, that it's always cold food or that it's boring, but these are misconceptions. |
| We have yet to get into the healing properties of this food, and this is something that, frankly, not a lot of people talk about here at the tree of life Rejuvenation Center. However, it's one of the most interesting things that's going on here, and as a well-studied food nutritionist and food toxicologist, I can tell you that the foods being prepared and consumed here are the most medicinally potent foods this planet can offer. |

Then, we have people who want to go further, which is, of course, what we like to see happen. We have a sacred relationship course because how you are in your relationship affects your life immensely. We have a course in conscious eating, which is how in a week you really become an expert in food preparation for yourself, not to run a restaurant. |

| The place would be overrun with customers begging to pay, to be let in so they could experience the foods, the health benefits and the spiritual awakening that is delivered to them at the tree of life Rejuvenation Center.
But right now, this place is not that well known. In fact, raw foods cuisine is a big secret across the country. However, once you taste raw foods, you can't help but expand your understanding of what food really is. Think about it; most people believe that if you eat healthy, it has to be boring or bland. When most people think of health foods, they think, "Yuck! |
| This article is about one potent answer to that question, and that answer is, quite simply: Come to the tree of life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona. Come here, and you will open a door to a universe of new possibilities that will answer these questions you may have about health at a physical level, a chemical level, an energetic level and even a spiritual level. It will open you up to new possibilities, and it will leave you with a memorable transforming experience that I honestly believe you would be hard-pressed to get anywhere else. |

| Well, there is such a place, and that is the tree of life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona.
This place exists, and I've seen it, I've lived in it, temporarily, and interacted with the people. I felt it at many levels, and I want to bring you this experience so that you can understand why this is the place to come if you're ready for a deeply healing experience. Here, the healing starts with food. You may already know that it's about live foods. Some people call them raw foods, but the preferred description here is living foods or live foods. |

 Gabriel Cousens, author of several top-selling books on raw foods and founder of the tree of life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona (www.TreeofLife.nu), told NewsTarget, "This mandatory almond pasteurization is an effort by the powers that be to limit access to healthy food. It is a serious attack on people's ability to eat what they want and support their health. In this important way, it deprives us of our basic rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. |

 The peach originated in China, and the peach tree was the tree of life to the ancient Chinese. Both peaches and nectarines have to be picked ripe—they don't ripen well after picking. You also have to be careful with them, as one small bruise and they'll go bad. Clingstone peaches are ones in which the pit clings to the flesh; freestone peaches are ones where the pit breaks free.

This delicious fruit not only looks healthy, but also it smells healthy. And most important, it is healthy. How can you miss? |
