I thought, when I decided to create this Website, that showing people natural ways to rid themselves of the inconvenient and painful Disease called Diabetes would be enthusiastically welcomed. How wrong I was!
What I didn't realize was that the pharmaceutical industry already owned this space -- and they had a much more inviting sales pitch: "Eat anything you like. We have a pill to help you deal with the symptoms!"
In addition, the Food Industry was effectively teaming up with Big Pharma to promote a diet that was guaranteed to give many people who ate it diabetes!
The alcohol industry also chipped in to make behavior that was destructive to many seem fun and glamorous. I was out numbered and out-sold.
Even my discovery of a relatively healthier diabetic-friendly energy drink was not sufficient incentive for diabetics to give up the taste of Red Bull or to expend any energy to order the brand I recommended online.
Saving money didn't motivate most diabetics. Even the incentive of potentially saving their lives from an early death couldn't outweigh the pleasure they found in their favorite food & drinks.
I have finally come to realize that most who have the tendency to become diabetic are easy prey for unhealthy food and drink ads -- and a medical industry that offers what appears to be an "easy way out" of a disease that just seems bothersome at first. Lately, I have come to realize that my message will only be heard by a relatively small number of exceptional people. People who -- like me -- are willing to do things differently because they can see that what they've been doing isn't leading them to better health.
Having diabetes isn't our genetic fate. We may have a predisposition towards becoming diabetic, but by avoiding unhealthy foods and lifestyle choices, we can stay free of this debilitating, killer disease.
Don't sell yourself short! Your choices determine your status in life.
