Anyone who is convinced the medical establishment in this world is out for the benefit of their patients, and not themselves, is putting their heads where the sun doesn't shine.
Here's my experience. Twenty years ago I was diagnosed as a diabetic. I went through several stages of medications. Last summer I was using 200 units of insulin a day. I had irresisitable cravings for carbohydrates and my eating habits were completely out of control. I weighed 345 lbs and if full of fluids. My legs from hips to feet were badly swollen. I had so much fluid in my lungs I could hardly breath while lying down. I was on the downhill train to death in a very short period. My knees were so arthritic I could only walk a very short distance.
I stopped taking insulin around the first of July. In 3 days I had lost 40 lbs. It was all fluid. My feet and legs were down to normal size. I could breathe lying down without any problems whatsoever. In other words, the insulin was making me retain so much fluid that even with the max dosage of diuretics my body couldn't keep up with the fluid retention caused by the insulin.
Today I weight 232 lbs. In 8 months I've lost 113 lbs. My appetite is under control. I practice intermittent fasting and am a eating healthy diet. My cravings for carbs is gone. On the days I eat I eat a healthy 2000 calories a day. My blood glucose average is down to 152 from 450. I walk anywhere from 2 - 3.5 miles a day. I feel better than I've felt in 2 decades. And I take no medications whatsoever that are related to diabetes. I've also dropped one of my blood pressure meds as when I take it my blood pressure drops to 110/65 and even lower. It averages 130/85 without it.
Here's why. Type 2 diabetes is what I have and that is a condition in which a person has too much insulin in their blood stream. That condition is created by something called insulin resistance. Think of it like what happens to an alcoholic. Their bodies build up a resistance to alcohol and it takes more and more alcohol for the same effect. That overload of insulin causes the body to crave carbohydrates which raise the blood sugar levels which causes more insulin to be released by the pancreas. It's a vicious cycle. So what does the medical establishment do to treat diabetes? They prescribe drugs that increase the level of insulin produced by the pancreas until the body becomes resistant to the that level of insulin that it can't reduce the blood glucose levels. The next step is the injection of synthetic insulin. After a while that doesn't work either. But that is how the medical establishment treats diabetes. It's like treating an alcoholic with whiskey. All it does is raise the level of the poison that is killing the individual higher and higher and cause them to eat more and gain more weight creating even further insulin resistance. It's a vicious cycle guarranteed to kill the patient over the long term.
Diabetes, type 2 anyway, is a disease caused by dietary problems. It's created by diet. The medical community tells it's patients it's a "progressive" disease and you just need to keep on taking your medications even after the patient has lost feet, limbs, eyes, had heart attacks, and suffered all kinds of related medical issues. Diabetes is NOT a progressive disease. It is easily treatable and it is NOT a life sentence no matter what the medical establishment tells you. My life is living proof and there are thousands of people like me who have reversed their diabetes and are no longer diabetic.
By the way, I started with what I now treat myself with the end of February of this year. Since then I've dropped my average glucose numbers from 300 to the 152 it is today. That's a little over 1 month, and the doctor told me I couldn't do it. It just wasn't possible. Today I treat myself by taking 4 or 5 tablespoons of brewer's yeast and fasting a couple of days a week along with eating a diet high in complex carbohydrates(lots of veggies), eating healthy fats like those in nuts and avocados, and high protein foods. The brewer's yeast is high in chromium which diabetics always have low levels of in their bodies. Chromium is a must for stable blood sugars. It's what the body uses to keep them stable. The body doesn't use chromium very efficiently from supplements or the regular diet. It can only make use of 0.3% to maybe 2% of the daily intake from those sources. The bioavailability of the chromium in brewers yeast is 10 times greater so brewers yeast is the best source to use to increase the level of chromium in the body.
I know I'd have been dead by now had I kept on following the doctor's instructions. However, I now can see light at the end of the tunnel. My health is coming back. My body is healing itself. I just had to put the right things in it and stop taking the poisons the medical establishment prescribes. Diabetes isn't the only condition they treat exactly backwards. They treat symptoms rather than diseases and they influence of big pharma over the medical establishment is an evil cannot be underestimated. The treatments for diabetes are a good example of how the drugs the pharmaceutical companies create the medical establisment prescribes create a system of patients who return year after year a having the finances drained and their health and body ruined by the drugs they are given when they could be cured of diabetes in a matter of weeks or months and live healthy productive lives for many years afterwards.
