Diabetes
lies
Diabetes
lies have proliferated over the internet. A recent survey showed that 90% of
North Americans have fallen for false stories they have read or come across on
social media platforms. Another 68% of the pool said that they didn't trust
large corporations and their government. Many large companies involved with the
manufacture and sale of diabetes products may be involved in diabetes lies.
In
2009, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I had not been taking care of
myself. As Director of Food and Beverage for a large resort, I was always busy.
I found myself turning to cola drinks and other sweets made with refined sugar
for a quick energy. One day after work, on the drive home, I began to crave
sugar. I recall that day as if it was yesterday. It was June 25, 2009, the day
the famed singer Michael Jackson died. I heard the announcement on my car
radio.
When I was diagnosed, I was understandably upset. I didn't want to accept what had happened to me. In desperation, I began to search for a cure. I turned to the internet. That was when I became exposed to how money makes people and corporations put profits first instead of honest business practices. They will lie to customers just to make a sale. I once met a U.S. business who told me that others operating in the same industry as he told him that if he were dishonest, he could make 10 times more money. Similarly, my acupuncture doctor told me that a couple of doctors in her field approached her asking her why she was charging $50 per session and not $80. They then demanded that she change her rate, but she refused.
Diabetes
lies online
We
know it is common for businesses to cheat the costumer. The diabetes industry
is no different. Here are just some of the pitches I came across online, one of
which was rather dangerous.
One
individual claimed that he had a God-given gift of healing people and said that
he had healed thousands of people. He included testimonials. His product for
the cure of diabetes was cinnamon. He fortified his sales pitch by accusing
diabetes drug manufacturers of being dishonest. I tried his cinnamon pills for
several months. They did not work. It was then I learned that I had been lied
to.
There
is product called Banaba being marketed by a lady who claims she used it to
help her husband cure his type 2 diabetes. She said her product would cure type
2 diabetes in one month. What I couldn't understand was that there were three
and four months supplies offered, and if the potential buyer would make a
6-months supply purchase, they would get a one-month supply free, in addition to
a diet book for curing diabetes. Strange, considering the claim was for a cure
after only one month.
Infomercial
lies
Diabetes
and corporate lies
My
search continued, which led to a video I watched made by one, Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
In his video, he said that diabetes drug manufacturers came to him and asked
him to author an article on diabetes for publication. Upon completion, the drug
companies rejected his article saying that if diabetics knew that they could
cure their condition, they would stop buying diabetes drugs.
Their
rejection of my article for publication mirrors what Dr. Fuhrman said in his
video (that is still available online) about the drug companies that refused to
publish his article so that they could intentionally prevent diabetics from
knowing that their condition can be cured.
If
you are pre-diabetic, type 2 diabetic, or overweight, information you need to
reverse and even cure your condition is now available.
