´The number of new cases of diabetes type 2 is soaring. Currently in The Netherlands only, approximately 550,000 people are known to suffer from diabetes type 2. In addition there are hundreds of thousands who are not aware yet of being ill or who will develop the disorder shortly. Diabetes type 2 is not the same as diabetes type 1: type 1 sets on at a (very) early age and stems from a physical defect, causing the pancreas to stop producing insulin. Diabetes type 2 mostly occurs a little later in life. Therefore it used to be called ´geriatric diabetes´ but one does not have to be really old to become affected by this disease! Children and adolescents fall more and more victim to this illness nowadays. With this variety of diabetes the body has become desensitized to the effects of insulin and most often the pancreas is still in working order, but not to the full. Overweight, insufficient exercise, unhealthy eating habits or a damaging lifestyle for example often play a (major) part in the onset of this type of diabetes.

My views on health and illness are strongly influenced by my stay in India. Before I started medical training I studied Ayurveda – the oldest natural method of treatment – in India for four year. During that time I have often been confronted with patients that led a healthy life, notwithstanding their disease. With the help of proper nutrition, sufficient exercise and the use of specific herbs, these people were again able to enjoy an adequately healthy life! Later, after opening my own Ayurveda practice in The Netherlands, I frequently treated diabetes to a satisfactory result. I experienced that diabetes patients could control their illness through the use of dieting, lifestyle adaptations, natural nutritional supplements and herbs. My passion and mission to reintroduce ´natural-well-being´ to society took me to developing a wholly natural treatment program for diabetes combined with obesity. This program, Diabese® (a contraction of diabetes and obesity) aims at increasing the physical and psychological health of the patient. This will be obtained through proper nutrition, sufficient exercise, balance of the soul and natural nutritional supplements. In 2005 I started practicing Diabese® and the results are astonishing: participants are losing weight, can get by with less medication (including insulin), feel to be fitter and actually are healthier!
I would like to urge anybody who credits and trusts their own body and has the courage to choose for natural health to make use of this treatment program Diabese®. With a healthy willpower you can achieve more than you perhaps ever imagined!´
