My name is Marilyn Ashour. I'm from Epping New Hampshire, and I am a cardiac nurse at
a hospital in New Hampshire. I was diagnosed with diabetes five years ago, and no one could
seem to improve my condition. The type 2 diabetes was progressing and damaging my kidneys and
causing neuropathy in my feet. I believed there was a better way to treat diabetes so
I researched on the internet for five years, and I found that Dr. Cousens' program had
a very high success rate. I met with a lot of ridicule and criticism because people
did not believe that you could cure type 2 diabetes. But I was convinced based on the
evidence, and now coming here was like coming home. No one criticized you or didn't believe
it was possible, and within three short weeks I reversed my diabetes. My blood sugar dropped
from 181 to anywhere between 56 to 79, and I'm going home with two weeks of normal blood
sugars all under 100. So it is possible. I was on metformin twice a day, but my kidneys
started to have effects from some of the medications and the diabetes, and when I asked my doctor about coming here,
she said "we're a long way from a cure for diabetes, and you are doing so well on the medicines.
Why would you come here?" And I say, "because basically you would keep me on
pills the rest of my life, and I believe you can reverse it." So now I'm going to be able to go home
and tell her that it is absolutely true.
Vegetarianism wasn't unknown to me. About 75% of my meals were vegetarian,
but I had never experienced raw food. I was surprised at how good and filling it was
and satisfying and very easy to make.
When I came here for fasting, I was shocked that even after two days I had no hunger. I did not turn into a grouch (laughs).
It actually was a very easy thing to accomplish, because the green juice that's given provides everything you need.
I believe this is a great program for people like myself with type 2
diabetes, I can only speak for myself and what I have, but what I would advise people
is whatever way you can manage to come here you will find an answer to the medical issue
you have with your type 2 diabetes. It is like coming home because everybody accepts
you for having it and is totally committed to helping you care for yourself and to heal.
