You're welcome. If you are willing to change your lifestyle, I would not be surprised at all if you improved on a whole foods plant based diet. If sugar is a problem for you then you probably also want to avoid foods with a high glycemic load. Since most vegetables contain a substantial amount of starch, I would not recommend giving up starch. You might want to look into the following doctors' publications: Dean Ornish, Joel Fuhrman, T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn, Neal Barnard, John McDougall.

Also, for anyone who is being failed by the mainstream disease care system, I recently discovered a podcast called Extreme Health Radio that is very interesting. Their website: extremehealthradio.com
Justin and Kate record a show 4 days a week and bring in all sorts of guests in 'alternative' medicine. There is a lot of healing going on out there, about which you won't hear from your MD.
