1982. Kimberley region, Western Australia. An Australian nutrition researcher named Kerin O'Dea recruited 10 middle-aged Aboriginal Australians. All had type 2 diabetes. All were overweight. All were living in town on flour, sugar, and processed food. She sent them back to the bush. For 7 weeks they lived the way their grandparents did. They ate what they could hunt, fish, and gather. Kangaroo, fish, crocodile, turtle, birds, yams, figs. No flour. No bread. No refined sugar. Then she measured them again. Fasting glucose cut nearly in half 11.6 down to 6.6 mmol/L. Fasting insulin normalized. Triglycerides dropped 70%. Each lost about 18 pounds. Type 2 diabetes reversed in 7 weeks. No drugs. No surgery. She published the results in *Diabetes* journal in 1984. Title: "Marked improvement in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in diabetic Australian Aborigines after temporary reversion to traditional lifestyle." Cited over 240 times. Mainstream medicine never adopted it. They tell you type 2 is a chronic, lifelong disease. It isn't. No sugar. No grains.
