The number of new cases of diabetes in the United States has
doubled in the last three decades, mainly among obese people. The
President of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) calls for heavy
investment in diabetes research to find a cure for the disease.
However, diabetic people are successfully lowering their blood
sugar, losing weight and reducing insulin dosages by using a
do-it-yourself acupressure technique. Diabetics can also use
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to lower LDL cholesterol, blood
pressure and cravings for fatty comfort foods -- all risk factors
associated with diabetes. Anybody can learn EFT at no cost.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 1, 2006 -- The American Diabetes
Association (ADA) president challenged medical doctors to improve
type 2 diabetes care. Recent findings show that incidence of
diabetes has doubled in the past 30 years and researchers blame
unhealthy lifestyle factors for this epidemic and warn that diabetes
increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed Emotional
Freedom Techniques (EFT) agrees that diseases like diabetes are a
result of unhealthy lifestyle choices. “However, conventional
medicine does not address the reasons why people become trapped in a
cycle of making unhealthy choices,” says Craig. “According to EFT
theory, people overindulge in junk food, soft drinks and the like in
an effort to tranquilize unresolved stress and negative emotions.”
EFT claims an 80% success rate in reducing these emotional issues
and improved physical symptoms are the frequent result. It can be

Robert Rizza, MD, ADA President of Medicine and Science calls for
optimal care of diabetes patients which would include maintaining
stable blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels,
reducing body fat and not smoking. In order to achieve these
healthier levels, Dr. Rizza proposes that diabetic patients take a
once-daily “polypill”, a compound that would contain drugs to lower
blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, and aspirin to reduce
risk of heart attack and stroke.
Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD, uses EFT in his medical
practice. Dr. Robins issues his own challenge to medical doctors.
"While the medical establishment sounds an alarm about the billion
dollar implications of diseases like diabetes, I invite other
medical doctors to look at treating the cause of the problem rather
than the effect. The main lifestyle contributors to diabetes
include, 1) eating too much of the wrong types of foods, 2) not
exercising enough, 3) stress. EFT can be effectively used on all of
these types of problems, and will empower those patients who want to
take a more active role in their healthcare."
This one simple technique helps people conquer food cravings and
increase their motivation to exercise. According to Gary Craig, “EFT
may be the world’s fastest-growing self-help technique because
people are getting results where nothing else has worked. It is a
first-rate stress reduction technique that often lowers blood sugar
and blood pressure levels, and addresses unhealthy cholesterol
levels.”
EFT involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while
focusing on the issue in question. Based on the principles of
acupuncture, EFT balances the body’s disrupted energy meridian
system (Chi or Qi). Following EFT, the body’s stress response no
longer manifests as abnormal blood sugar levels.
ADA President Dr. Rizza is distressed by the epidemic incidence of
diabetes. "Our health-care system and our nation's economy cannot
tolerate one in three people having diabetes. It requires a
concerted effort by our health-care system, by our government, by
all parts of society to realize that this epidemic is endangering
not only all the people alive, but our children and our children's
children," said Rizza.
Gary Craig says, “My EFT Practitioners and I represent a part of
society that is focused on improving access to a low cost self help
technique that has no known side effects and has an 80% success
rate. I believe that the nation’s economy and health care system
would be well served by treating the true cause of disease with EFT.
Nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes and my conservative
estimate is that EFT could materially improve symptoms and risk
factors for 60% of those patients.”
Over 300,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and
another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has
been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.
The EFT Manual explains the basics so that anyone can begin applying
EFT right away. It can be freely downloaded at
