When
people, especially experts, make a health claim against an epidemic, you have
to be suspicious. DVD makes this easier
and one of the worst health problems is diabetes, which is rising for reasons
no one seems to know. Is it the
super-sized helpings, the corn syrup, Monsanto’s genetic engineering of food or
other illegal tampering with something while the U.S. Government looks the
other way? Obesity is on the rise along
with this and diabetes has no known cure.
Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes In
30 Days claims it can be reversed.
Can it?
Well, any
time “guru” Anthony Robbins surfaces, it can only spell trouble because I never
trusted him and he is one of the “experts” recommending this program. That is a bad sign. However, the actual program is “simply”
having the high blood sugar persons eat raw, uncooked fruits and vegetables in
a clinical environment so they supposedly do not have to take insulin or as
much of it. Sounds too simple, but even
if it did not totally work, we guess it couldn’t hurt.
The
program itself lands up being like a bad Reality TV show with less of a
condescending attitude and (wow?) any hatred or distain for its “willing”
participants. I was hoping that everyone
involved would do well and it was great to see people in trouble wanting to
help themselves. The science here
warrants more investigation than a critic like yours truly could come up with,
but it is worth looking into for those dealing with the diabetic nightmare.
The anamorphically
enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is surprisingly soft and has its share of aliasing
errors to boot, but color is not bad. The
Dolby Digital 2.0 sound is somewhat stereo, but location sound can vary. The only extra is an introductory piece.
