Good for him. He tried a diet that included animal products and it wasn't helping. Some may find this enlightening.

He followed the Diabetes Diet, which includes animal products, and saw no improvement to his health. In search of an alternative, Kluttz met general practitioner Sven Jonsson, MD, who suggested that he switch to an oil-free, vegan diet—which Jonsson has advocated for his diabetes patients after numerous scientific studies proved them effective in treating the disease. After nine months, Kluttz returned to a healthy weight, lowered his cholesterol levels, and stabilized his blood sugar. “I am 61, but I feel like I am 30,” Kluttz said. “When I accepted the new way of eating, I got my strength back. I am getting a second chance in life."

Fine, he exercised his freedom to do so, some exercise their freedom to have a thick juicy steak
 
Good for him. If he's happy with that then fine.
 
no one told you to do anything, sir.

"Ask" and "told" are different words with different meanings, sir.

BTW the Gannett original story which I linked is the place to go for this thread topic, not the veggie propaganda sites....lots of important details are to be found there, which I think add up to "caution".

Why did you not mention this part?

Prior to adopting a plant-based diet in 2013, Kluttz regularly ate a chicken biscuit for breakfast, fried chicken for lunch, and drank 15 sodas per day.

15 sodas. Per day.

I wouldn't drink that in six months.
 
He hasn't been cured of diabetes. Any article that runs under a headline containing an outright lie destroys it' credibility from the outset. They also reference studies about prevention of diabetes an imply they're relevant to the treatment of the condition.

There are clearly a lot of elements behind this individual's initial bad health and his eventual improvement (which you can read about in the source article rather than the politicised blog). To present it as a simple case of removing all-animal products as a magical solution is another lie.

The saddest thing is that plenty of people could do to reduce the amount of processed and red meat from their diets (along with a number of other things) and presenting this as a choice between a completely vegan diet or a bad diet can only serve to discourage people from improving their diets at all.

Looks like he unveiled the truth about the highly skewed and incorrect title in the OP.

Exposing lies is exactly the correct thing for him to do.

I mean, he still HAS diabetes. It's not a "cure". This this is being oversold. This is the problem with propaganda, it works only so long as people don't realize it's propaganda.

When you post lies and incorrect information that is devoid of any factual logic, it eliminates the possibility of any positive change.

With his logic diabetes is curable by becoming a vegetarian.

That is exactly correct.

The lies are constant and disturbing.
