“There is never enough food to feed a hungry soul.”
—Gabriel Cousens, MD
Gabriel Cousens, holistic medical doctor and best-selling author, was recently interviewed on Janette Merrill’s Birthing Soul podcast about his newly released book, There is a Cure for Diabetes. The book follows Cousens’ specialties of live-food diet, natural and holistic approaches to health, and the intimate connection between mental, emotional and physical well being, and then applies them in a practical and effective approach to curing the pandemic of diabetes. He asserts that a mere twenty-one days of following the Tree of Life program described in the book can make significant progress in curing diabetes. This diet is more than a program; it is a lifestyle. As Merrill aptly puts it, “what you are telling people is that you have an option, it’s not a death sentence, diabetes… a quality of life beyond your imagination is [possible].”
In Cousens’ Birthing Soul podcast, he details many aspects of There is a Cure for Diabetes and the choices that it promotes. He touches on a variety of aspects including: how he became part of the live-food movement; the extent to which diabetes is affecting the world’s population; a general description of what the Tree of Life philosophy and lifestyle promote and include; a general history of live and raw food; and the big picture of this pandemic. He not only explores the crippling effects of diabetes in emotional, mental, and physical ways, but also explains how the threat of this disease reaches beyond its individual victims and to the global population as a whole. He also discusses the way in which the human actions that often result in diabetes affect the environment and other, non-human populations of the world.
Cousens’ approach is geared toward the root of the problem rather than toward its medical manifestations. “The essence is that you’ve got to connect to your soul… If you don’t connect with your soul what you’re doing is trying to feed your soul with food and there is never enough food to feed a hungry soul.” In particular, he emphasizes diabetes as a symptom of the ‘culture of death’ that must be cured. In exchange, the ‘Culture of Life’ must be seized in order for people to “fulfill [their] destiny which is to uplift the consciousness of the planet and also to uplift [one’s] own consciousness and therefore become one with the divine”… healing diabetes along the way.
The prescription of Cousens’ book— as well as his spoken words in this interview—is larger than a doctor’s diagnosis. “This is a social action, this isn’t about getting a few people in a private clinic… when we create a social thing about loving yourself, loving the planet, then it’s a social movement… I think we’re going to really touch on the healing of diabetes on a pandemic level.”
