Duh...

Some time back I went with a friend to the nutritionist her MD
wanted her to see. This woman is well thought of by the medical
community. She basically said to my friend, you have type 2
diabetes, you can never get rid of it, you can control it with diet,
exercise and medication. Don’t focus on getting off medication she
said, we don’t want you to have to give up birthday cake or fried
chicken, or even BLTs. Be sure though to eat some butter with
your potatoes and some mayo on those BLTs. The fat lowers the
effect of high glycemic foods and reduces the fast elevation on
blood sugar.

When pushed she did acknowledge that using whole grains in a
natural form, ie steamed brown rice, plus vegetables, nuts, seeds and
legumes would probably take care of the problem enough to keep
you off the medicine. BUT WE KNOW NO ONE WILL REALLY
EAT THAT WAY, AND WE DON’T EXPECT YOU TO.

Fast forward a few years and my sister, with type 2 diabetes, tells
me that you never recover from diabetes, you can only control it.
Yikes. This information came from her diabetes education and
support group. Oh yeah, according to her, its ok to eat commercial
bread as long its wheat bread, and lettuce is ok if you don’t like
Kale, and white rice is ok if you eat beans or meat with it. Need I
go on?

I am shocked that the medical system is lying to people. Most of us
were trained from birth to think medical doctors are the last word.
Are they conspiring with Kraft and Colonial Sanders and the
pharmaceutical companies to keep us sick or are they just stupid?
