Seems like every doc under the sun tries to convince you that diabetes can’t be reversed.
OK, this is mostly true when it comes to type-1 diabetes — which only affects about 5% of people with diabetes.
But type-2 diabetes, which affects 95% of people with diabetes (due to poor diet and bad habits) is both avoidable and even REVERSIBLE with proper diet, exercise and supplementation.
Of course, you won’t hear this from your traditional medical doctor.
Instead, they diagnose and approve more and more diabetes drugs every year.
Today, researchers have determined that 1 in 3 children born in the year 2000 will suffer from diabetes at some point in their lifetime.
That’s pretty darn scary.
But it gets even WORSE, because most popular diabetes drugs are terrible for you in the long run.
Here are 4 of the worst I could find:
1) Avandia
– Has been linked to a 43% increased risk of heart attack and a 64% higher risk of cardiovascular death compared to patients treated with other methods!
– The drug is currently the subject of over 13,000 lawsuits against GlaxoSmithKline…
2) Actos
– In June 2011, France decided to ban this drug after studies found that using it for one year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer.
– Shorty after, Germany recommended their doctors to STOP prescribing this dangerous drug based on the same risks.
– In response, the FDA announced that Actos would still be approved for use everywhere in the US. Instead they just added a mere mention on the label about the cancer risks.
3) Byetta
– This drug led to major pancreatic problems in type-2 diabetes patients.
– At the same time, it’s 10X more expensive than generics. A huge price to pay to destroy your pancreas and put your health at risk…
4) Januvia
– Inhibits the DPP-4 enzymes in your body, which may allow some cancers to progress
