In 1997, Rev William Erving, a retired Christian Missionary Alliance pastor from Beaver, PA, was suffering from painful diabetic neuropathy in his feet. He reported that the discomfort was so great he had difficulty sleeping at night. He was being treated with oral medication for his elevated blood sugar, but nothing was helping the neuropathy pain.

Two years ago, Pastor Erving attended the NEWSTART® Reversing Diabetes seminar at Sandy Cove Conference Center, near Baltimore. His blood sugar quickly returned to normal. On August 26, 1999 he reported that the pain in his feet has now been gone for two years, his blood sugar level remains in normal range, and he requires no medication. He walks daily and enjoys the recommended plant-based diet.
