Personal Story

Eric has appeared in many YouTube videos showcasing his reveral story of Type 2 Diabetes reversal. Excerpts from this video (3 mins, 2020) — presentation to USDA Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, 2020:

  • He retired from New York City Police Departmant.
  • One morning, he couldn't see the alarm clock upon waking up. Was told he was losing eyesight ("blind in one eye"); met 5 doctors; diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes; was told he had permanent damage in hands and feet; was told he was going to lose some limbs. Started doing research (Eric says he has good research & investigation skills, having been in NYPD for so many years). Discovered WFPB and PCRM (Dr Neal Barnard's organization).
  • After 3 weeks of WFPB, eyesight returned. Within 3 months, A1C dropped from 17 to 5.7. "Nerve damage in hands and feet went away." "No medicine, no insulin, only food!"
  • His mother (80 years old, 15 yrs diabetic, 7 yrs insulin, 9 medicines) reversed her diabetes within 2 months: zero insulin, zero medicines.
  • "It was never my DNA; it was my dinner!" — Eric
  • Eric Adams experienced reversal of damage to his nerves and eyes. Is WFPB known to reverse nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy) and restore eyesight (reversal of diabetes retinopathy)? See Dr Greger's 7-min video above.

Eric appears in several YouTube videos where he shares his personal story, imploring people to adopt WFPB.
