Seminars offers solutions and reversal
"Many newly diagnosed diabetics—as well as those struggling with the disease for longer periods of time—can control their diabetes without drugs by following an excellent lifestyle," states Dr. Neil Nedley, MD, author, and president of Weimar Center of Health and Education, the non-profit humanitarian health organization that is sponsoring this seminar. People concerned with diabetes and obesity can discover how to reverse their condition through lifestyle intervention at the physician-directed NEWSTART® Reversing Diabetes and Obesity seminars September 21-23 at Mount Hermon Conference Center east of Santa Cruz, CA, and November 3-5 at Lifeway Ridgecrest Conference Center in Ridgecrest, NC, near Asheville.
More than 20 million Americans have type 2 diabetes. Another 57 million are pre-diabetic. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), millions more will develop adult onset diabetes in the next decade. Also, a recent study found that obesity costs the U.S. about $147 billion annually.
Type 2 diabetes is known as a lifestyle disease, sustained by a culture that promotes inactivity and unhealthy food choices that lead to weight gain and obesity. Indeed, 80 percent of those who are overweight will eventually develop diabetes. Scientific studies have shown that a diabetic can beat, reverse, and even avoid diabetes altogether with simple lifestyle improvements like diet and exercise.
Physicians at Weimar's NEWSTART® Lifestyle Center, located in the Sierra-Nevada foothills of California, have documented many cases of patients who have returned to normal blood sugar levels and experienced relief from painful neuropathy, often without the use of medication.
The seminar aims to educate participants on the causes of diabetes and obesity, as well as how to prevent and/or reverse these chronic lifestyle diseases. It features easy-to-understand lectures by expert health care professionals including board-certified physicians in preventive medicine. Twelve continuing education credits (CEUs) are included for nurses and dieticians.
