I totally agree with you. I believe wholeheartedly with holistic medicine and treatments, sometimes modern medicine is needed of course (emergency situations, and the occasional antibiotics (oh how I seriously hate those antibiotics...in fact my IBS this time started back up after a course of antibiotics I had to take-they are awful on your stomach), but I do feel it best to incorporrate preventative medicine through proper nutrition and taking care of yourself both physically and metally.
The FDA is a complicated system and you see the reason why nutritional supplements and natural remedies will not become mainstream are for two basic reasons...one is that no one company can patent the "natural product" because nobody has rights to creating it...although you will often see patented prescription drugs which contain natural herbal ingredients. Thats why on supplements you see not FDA approved, not because they don't work, but because no one company can zero in and make HUGE profits off the sales. Also, big money is not in natural supplements....they are in prescription chemical compound drugs which cause pennies to make and are upmarked over a thousand times....not to mention the drugs you will have to take to rectify the side effects from the original drug you have been prescribed! They make a ton off overmedicating the public. Now I am not some wacko who believes that modern medicine has no place, of course it does...but I always make sure I fully research EVERYTHING before I take it....I have never tried energy work, but it is something I would definately be willing to experiment with (if you haven't read the Celestine Prophecy, you may be interested in checking it out, it is a wonderful book!
Now with EFT is that done by yourself or do you need to go to a practitioner?
As for diet it is really amazing what difference that can make in your mental clarity. If you fuel your body with quality foods you think much clearer have a more positive outlook and your skin and body begin to really look amazing. (I am not talking about weight, because everyone has a weight that their body is comfortable at...there may be two people who are 5'2 one persons body may be comfortable at 125 the other's may be comfortable at 140.)
Food is a POWERFUL substance, it can cause amazing changes in your body for the good or bad depending upon how you use it.
I don't count carbs or that sort of thing either, but I do not consume things that have an ingredient list the size of my arm...if I am not sure what something is on the ingredients, the product goes back on the shelf. I also try and incorporate as much fruits and veggies, cooked of course into my diet as I can...organic GRASS FED chicken and turkey, and free-range GRASS FED eggs (you should try and avoid regular chicken and turkey if your budget allows...chicken and turkeys don't naturally feed on grains and it is best to have them feed as they normally would in nature-plus it alters there nutritional value.) I have a few t of nut butters a day to get my healthy fats in as well....no I do not follow the diet to a "T" either, my body does not perform well on that many white starchy carbs, and you are absolutely correct in your recognition abou the diabetes and insulin resistance...not to mention your complexion looks like crap because of all the manipulation of your insulin levels 
Now that is not to say I NEVER have simple carbs, like tonite I was contemplating cheese-less pizza, (I am actually opting for chinese (steamed chicken with black bean sauce on the side...and I will sub brown rice instead of the white) by I limit that to ONE meal a week, and that is truly only because I don't feel so good after I have it.
I enjoy talking to you as well!  I guess this is book number 2
