Coming up on the exam room, we dropped down the bunny hole, I guess you can say, into

this whole field of plant-based nutrition.

Around that same time, I started reading a lot of books.

One of those books that came into my understanding and realm of consciousness was Dr. Neal Barnard's

book on reversing diabetes.

So of course, the title itself, Dr. Neal Barnard's program to reverse eye to diabetes.

Of course, I am attracted to this, and I read the book, and I go through a whole range

of emotions reading this book because, you know, it was like, oh, this is how to avoid

the pain and suffering my grandma went through, right?

Because we all have to die, but to suffer, you know what I'm saying?

I'm not trying to go through that, you know?

And so I was like, great.

But then secondly, you know, I just was really angry.

I was upset and angry when I found out my grandma was going to pass, but this time it was

like, how come the nurses and the dietitians and the doctors did not tell us this?

Where's the informed consent?

Why did we not have the option that I learned in his book that the food that we was given

grandma was just to make sure her medicine worked to keep her insulin, her sugar regulated.

It allowed for that to function at, you know, whatever it's supposed to function at.

But you can actually reverse type two diabetes, you actually, you can reverse it in two weeks.

That's what I was learning from his book.

Wow.
