I have a number of chronic health conditions including PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), which often causes diabetes. In my case, I am able to reduce carbs to control the symptoms and hopefully will never have full blown diabetes (my mom is insulin resistant so this is a real threat).
An acquaintance of mine is a raw food "ambassador" for a living (selling tools, literature, and supplements)and told me by following a vegan, raw foods diet I could not only prevent diabetes but also cure the PCOS and other disorders (all of which are genetic). She is also a recovering anorexic who spent several months inpatient at a treatment facility.
My question then is two-fold: Where does this belief that diet can cure all ills come from, and has a particular diet been proven (by actual scientists doing science) to be beneficial to health for most people?
