I documented the extraordinary Kempner story previously in Kempner Rice Diet: Whipping Us Into Shape ([ Ссылка ]) and Drugs and the Demise of the Rice Diet ([ Ссылка ]). The reason I keep coming back to this is not to suggest people should go on such a diet (it is too extreme and potentially dangerous to do without strict medical supervision), but to show the power of dietary change to yield tremendous healing effects.

The best way to prevent diabetic blindness is to prevent or reverse the diabetes in the first place. See, for example:
• Lifestyle Medicine Is the Standard of Care for Prediabetes ([ Ссылка ])
• How to Prevent Prediabetes from Turning into Diabetes ([ Ссылка ])
• Plant-Based Diets and Diabetes ([ Ссылка ])

Why wouldn’t a diet of white rice make diabetes worse? See If White Rice is Linked to Diabetes, What About China? ([ Ссылка ])
