[@JohnParadise-xj1mi]

My condolences to Mary, Heather, and the rest of his family. I’m just finding out about this today, June 27. And I see that he died on the 22nd. How could I not have known about this sooner. This is heartbreaking. And I am in shock! And he’s one of these people who, when they die, you are in disbelief, thinking it can’t be true! He was one of my favorites. And he still is. And he is one of the biggest influences on my own vegan diet. And among all the vegan doctors, including Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell, and Neal Barnard, John McDougall is by far my favorite! And I had always wished that some day, some way, I would get to talk to him or even interview him. He’s one of those people that you almost feel you know in person, just from watching his videos. A friend! And I wish that I could’ve met him. Shook his hand, and had a talk with him to clarify some things that people always give me flack about, regarding my own, McDougall influence diet. RIP, Dr. McDougall! He leaves a space that cannot be filled! But I hope it will be filled, and that his philosophy, and mission of a starch based diet will continue to be presented to the world. He was one of the voices of truth. And, in addition to his diet, I appreciated his much-needed criticisms of the medical industry, in general. Keep his body of work available! Even in his passing, the knowledge that he presented must continue to inform us. 💔

I have gone plant based since 2018 and reduced my body weight by 33 kg (roughly 70 pounds) and quit five medications. All I still need is a small dose of insulin in the morning.

I am not complaining, because I have been able to have my A1C at 6.2. Since I never took medication in the over 20 something years I am quite healthy. When I tried the arnivoure which every one is raving about, 5 ozs it sent my sugar to over 11, then in the morning my sugar was 9.4. Never saw such numbers in all my mornings. Usually 5,8 or 6 in the A. M At one point I was upset because I coul not eat my desserts, when I ask my dr for metformin, she told me I did not need it, so I gave up. I am only trying to say that the Dr's starchovour diet might be good for obese people, but every diabetic I have met says it does not work for them. I guess I will have to follow my routine, meds are like the covid vaccine to me.

Two times a week I do a 15 minute KZbin channel, "Kettlebell HIITT Workout - Fitness Blender HIIT Kettlebell Training" routine. The entire routine is 20 minutes, but I just do the kettlebell portion usually. I also eat a tiny bit of fresh garlic (less than 1/8 teaspoon) if I feel a migraine coming on. If that doesn't help I'll try a bigger dose. Ginger helps also, as does spinach (maybe the magnesium?). I haven't tried barbberies but I've heard it may help. If the garlic is too unpalatable try adding a tablespoon of crushed tomatoes.

There is a KZbin channel, the “Proof with Simon Hill” that has several podcasts that address treating diabetes with plant based diet. Also, “Physician’s committee for responsible Medicine”. Basically though, it’s about making one’s cells more sensitive to insulin (so that the glucose can be used as it should be and not floating around in the blood stream). Fat in cells block the receptors for insulin. Everyone’s blood sugars will go up after eating. Sugar not going back down (being properly used) is the problem. Wish you well with your health issues!
