 A whole new approach. Amazing.Nov 16, 2008
By Modern Ms. Nightingale
All I can say is WOW. I'd heard about this film when it was on the independent film festival circuit and couldn't wait to see it - especially after enjoying Morgan Spurlock's film 'Super Size Me' so much. If you think tv's reality show 'The Biggest Loser' is good inspiration for getting healthier and in shape, than this journey will really knock your socks off! A handful of 'real' people are introduced to a whole new way to approach and improve their health - and we get to go along for the ride! It's so much fun, and entertaining too - "reality" media at it's best. It's incredibly inspiring to watch these folks lose weight, lower their blood sugar levels naturally and make some great friendships while learning that you don't need to be at the mercy of insulin for the rest of your life. If you work in the field of "health care" (as I do) you have a responsibility to offer options like this to your patients and clients. And if you know anyone with diabetes - and chances are, with the prevalence of this disease being what it is, that you do - you and they just shouldn't miss out. This could change your life and your health, or that of someone you love.

GREAT DVD - MUST Show Those You Love Who Have Diabetes!!!Jan 28, 2009
By D. Garris
This is an absolutely Amazingly power DVD! I bought the entire DVD set $49, it comes with a couple other DVD's with more info, receipes, websites, followups, etc... I have shown it to dozens of people! I personally do the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle for the past almost 4 yrs and as of 2009, I eat 100% Raw living foods, I am in good health, with no issues, although I used to have arthritis (The reason I changed my diet at age 41) I am now 45 and I have no arthritis! I LOVE this DVD, RAW food is amazing and if you learn from others you can make all kinds of great tasting raw foods, I have learned for every food I have loved, from pizza, tacos and Cheeseburgers and chips, I have created a replacement that tastes better and is much more nutritous for me. The Standard American Diet (SAD) diet is killing us in American. I personally have a friend who adopted the HA diet and in less than 30 days he was down from 4 shots to one shot a day of insulin. He still ate too much cooked foods, but had he went 100% raw he would have been Free from Diabetes. Watch this DVD, it is an Excellent real movie-like DVD. I have watched it many times. Get this DVD to those you love who WANT to get rid of Diabetes and be healthier!! - IT DOES WORK!!!

Take control of your healthSep 28, 2009
By M. Grigsby
This was an absolutely fascinating documentary that followed 6 diabetic individuals who changed their eating habits drastically, under medical supervision. I would have liked a little more information on how the patients were selected, and how much diabetic education they had prior to their trip to Patagonia, AZ. It was astonishing to see the dramatic effect their diets had on their health. Not every patient was willing to make the necessary adjustments to ensure their good health, of course. I was extremely impressed with the results and thought the food they were eating looked quite delicious. There is an additional segment that really discusses the food. I highly recommend this if you are diabetic or have someone in your family who is. It certainly shows the relationship between diet and health.

Diabetic Reversal DVDJul 15, 2010
By Tabitha
After hearing a talk by Gary Nulls, I ordered several of his kits (PBS). I ordered these DVDs for my father and younger sister who are both diabetics. I found them for a great price on Amazon. I have been able to reverse many of my health problems through diet change and exercise. I juiced for about a year and changed my vision for the better according to my doctor. He asked me what happened such that I improved my vision. I told him I started juicing. He was impressed because he said it was a significant change. I also lost 40lbs and had difficulty getting into my savings account at the bank because the teller said the women on the license was much older and I was much younger. The manager had to be called and they held me for over an hour until they could verify it was me. When I got home I looked at the old photo and it did not look like me anymore. I also reversed many other problems through raw food and organic foods. Everyone thinks I had a makeover. It's just diet and exercise.

Wow! Very comforting.Jan 31, 2010
By moxieann
I just got done watching this movie, made me cry so many times I was so happy for them. Ironically I found this after I had done about 40 days of a 90% raw diet for myself after not getting anywhere with my blood sugar for 7 months. Raw food has helped me overcome adrenal fatigue and prevent using insulin. I wish I had seen the movie when I started my diet, that would have been fun! Anyhow, I have to eat this way or go on insulin, but I'm so happy because it's the real way to eat, everything just falls into place. If I have to be on a diet, then this is the best one to be on. I highly recommend this movie to anyone struggling with diabetes type 1 or 2. Type 1 will usually make great improvements and some will completely reverse it, but not everyone.
The group they chose were the last people I'd expect to warm up to the idea of this AZ raw foodie hippie type of lifestyle but they did and they all had heart and I could just see them glow after the first week. I was so happy for them. OH geez I think I'm gonna cry again. Anyways, thanks for making the movie, it really confirms what I have been trying to do but had no support for. It will inspire me to keep on going. I really appreciate everything that these beautiful people have done. I just wish they had focused on educating us more about the specifics of the diet and a few more ideas. They did show a recipe or two and that was fun.
