“Because of FDA rules, supplement manufacturers cannot claim on a label any preventive or therapeutic qualities. For instance, magnesium, vitamin B6, and the herbal treatment chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) are proven to help premenstrual syndrome (PMS), but the labels cannot claim this effect. Instead, a label for magnesium might read “helps nerve and muscle function” but not mention PMS, even if that’s the reason you’re purchasing it.”

“One day, when I was messing around with a rugby ball, drop-kicking it over the posts, a teacher noticed me and suggested I play scrumhalf. He said I was a good kicker and that they needed somebody on the team. He told me to be at the next practice, but I never pitched up. I was just too scared; those guys were enormous. Of course, the teacher was angry and reported me to the head of rugby. I was called in and threatened with a disciplinary hearing. All boys had to play rugby.”

“If all this talk about mood and libido sounds familiar, it should: testosterone has an overlapping role with our old friend estrogen. You see, testosterone can be converted to estrogen; fat cells contain an enzyme, called aromatase, that converts testosterone to estradiol. The more fat you have, the more likely it is that you’ll create an excess of both androgens and estrogens. We know that excess estrogen may make it extremely difficult to lose weight, which then reinforces the cycle of more fat, estrogen, and weight.”

“ Before that first three weeks I was on over 100 units of insulin per day, and in three weeks I was taking no insulin. In about a month, I was once again in my doctor’s office, watching as they looked at my numbers in utter amazement. When they asked me what I did, I told them I had adopted a completely plant-based diet. They didn’t seem surprised at all and told me that plant-based diets were helping to reverse diabetes. When I asked why they had not suggested it, they told me “because it is not practical.” There I was, morbidly obese, taking nine drugs, shooting insulin into myself multiple times per day, suffering nerve damage and severe pain, and yet they thought that changing my diet in a fairly easy way would be less practical?”
