From the desk of Dr Nandita Shah

India has the largest number of diabetics in the world and the numbers are growing exponentially. This is scary due to the dreadful complications that this disease leads to – loss of vision, silent heart attacks, amputations and kidney issues. Even worse, its affecting youngsters. The good news is that diabetes can be easily prevented and even reversed. Most people simply are unaware of the facts. I have diabetes patients relishing bananas and mangos, which they have not had since years! And it’s possible just by going on the whole plant based diet! Yes, we can actually turn this around with delicious food. Anyone can do it! This year, I have planned Reversing Diabetes and Hypertension seminars in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chennai, Nairobi, London, and Dubai. Are you ready to press the reset button on your health?

40 year old Tehseen Mehdi reversed her diabetes and was off her insulin within three weeks of going on a whole plant based diet
