We have been hinting that a successful reversal of diabetes takes us back to high-enzyme live food and unprocessed food, which is part of the Culture of Life. This is a diet similar to what the human organism has been eating for perhaps 3.2 million years. A shift happened about 10,000 years ago, when farming and herding came into the forefront of the tribal cultures and we began to switch to a grain-based and herding civilization. Herding meant the introduction (for the first time in human history) of high amounts of flesh food and grain into the diet regularly. Before that, the human species did not eat a lot of meat. According to Robert Leakey, one of the leading medical anthropologists in the world, the human diet was primarily a plant-source “chimpanzee” diet with an occasional mouse or rat. Through simple logic, one can see that a brown bear is clearly more carnivorous than a human by looking at its claws and teeth, and yet a brown bear eats a diet of 95–97% raw plant food. The longest-living Hunza people of northern Pakistan live on a diet that contains less than 1% meat. Consider that between 1840 and 1974, the quantity of meat eaten per person in the United States increased five times over. During roughly the same time, the United States went from being the healthiest nation in world in 1900, out of 100 surveyed, to “dead” last in 1990.
