Diabetes patients skip drugs to save money, but Western medicine neglects to mention the real solution to diabetes

Here's a grotesque example of what's wrong with modern medicine: diabetes patients are on an average of seven prescription drugs (a situation that, by itself, is utterly ridiculous) and many are now skipping their diabetes drugs from time to time in order to save a few precious dollars. Naturally, they're being urged by researchers to "keep taking all those drugs!" to the great delight of the pharmaceutical companies, no doubt.

But it's all a scam. The human body doesn't need seven prescription drugs to be healthy. Prescription drugs actually do far more harm than good, killing over 100,000 Americans each year and injuring another 2.2 million. Worse yet, they do nothing to reverse the underlying cause of disease. I've seen people with diabetes drink soft drinks by the case while popping blood sugar control drugs!

Wouldn't it make more sense if our doctors educated people about fundamental nutrition and helped them get off the foods that cause diabetes? Type II Diabetes is caused by various metabolic disruptors and high-glycemic foods such as white flour, soft drinks, high fructose corn syrup and refined white sugar. It is further amplified by a lack of exercise. It can be completely reversed in the vast majority of cases by making changes in diet and physical exercise. It's not rocket science, and patients really don't need diabetes drugs. You won't hear that from the pharmaceutical companies, of course, since they don't make any money when diabetic patients get well and take control over their own health.
