Diet For Diabetes Raw starch regimen by Kansas City doctor

A Kansas City physician prescribes a raw starch and water diet for diabetics with staged reintroduction of foods. Patients start with raw starch such as cornstarch stirred in water several times daily or raw potatoes with salt, plus a daily sponge bath.
