Diabetes lies
Lies about diabetes abounded on the Internet. A recent survey found that 90% of North Americans have fallen for fake stories they've read or come across on social media platforms. Another 68% of the group said they distrust big corporations and their government. Many large companies that manufacture and sell diabetes products may be involved in diabetes lies.
I didn't take care of myself. As the director of food and beverage at a major resort, I was always busy. I find myself turning to colas and other sweets made with refined sugar for quick energy. One day after work, on the way home, I started craving sugar. I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was June 25, 2009, the day the famous singer Michael Jackson died. I heard an announcement on the car radio.
When I was diagnosed, I was upset. I turned to the internet. That's when I discovered how money forces people and corporations to focus on profits over honest business practices. I once met an American businessman who told me that others in the same industry as him told him that he could make 10x more money if he was dishonest. , my acupuncturist told me that several doctors in her field have approached her and asked her why she charges $50 a session and not $80. They then asked her to change the rate, but she refused.
Diabetes lies online
We know that it is common for businesses to cheat a customer. The diabetes industry is no different. Here are some of the courses I came across online, one of which was quite dangerous.
One individual claimed to have a gift from God to heal people and said he had healed thousands of people. He included a testimonial. His product for the treatment of diabetes was cinnamon. He cemented his sales pitch by accusing diabetes drug manufacturers of dishonesty. I tried his cinnamon pills for a few months. They didn't work.
There is a product called Banaba sold by a lady who claims she used it to help her husband cure type 2 diabetes. I couldn't understand that three and four-month supplies were offered and if a potential buyer purchased a 6 month supply they would get a free month's supply besides the diabetes diet book. . Strange, considering that the claim was for a cure after one month.
Infomercial lies
I also came across an infomercial hosted by a well-known man named Hugh Dows. He used to host a TV show called 20/20 so I trusted him. During an infomercial selling a book called Hidden Health of Treasures, a guest who called himself a doctor said that the book contained all kinds of cures and remedies, including diabetes. I rushed to order. When the book arrived I couldn't wait to use the information to cure my diabetes. I looked for the chapter, but there was no such information in the book, except that a diabetic should drink bay-leaf tea. Then it was said that bay leaf tea could be poisonous. There was a phone number in the book, so I called. The lady who answered informed me that they have a list of all the conditions and diseases that the book has a cure for. She stopped me, came back, and informed me that there was no diabetes medicine on the list. I was lied to again.
Diabetes and corporate lies
My search continued, leading to a video I watched and filmed by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. In his video, he said that diabetes drug manufacturers came to him and asked him to write an article about diabetes for publication. After it was finished, drug companies rejected his article, saying that if diabetics knew they could cure their condition, they would stop buying diabetes drugs.
Their rejection of my article for publication reflects what Dr. Fuhrman in his video (which is still available online) about pharmaceutical companies refusing to publish his article to prevent diabetics from knowing that their condition can be cured.
