Insulin Resistance and You

I found this article by Dr. Rosedale M.D.  It is such a pertinent one to the subject of insulin resistance that it needs to be shared. This condition is epidemic and will affect you or someone you love if it hasn’t already. Projections are it will bankrupt our country in treatment costs by 2020 (if our politicians haven’t already accomplished that). Please share this with others. This is epidemic and as he states, it is totally treatable and reversible with the right diet and nutrition. We see this time after time at Soli Wellness Center.

A new study, which follows a similar one done two months ago,  reveals the inadequacy and ineptitude of current traditional treatment for diabetes. The article indicates the recognition finally that so-called type 1 diabetics are frequently also acquiring type 2 diabetes and that type 2 diabetics are much more frequently acquiring type 1 diabetes.
As is so frequently the case, rather than indicating a cause and trying to get to the root of this, it is much easier to give this constellation of symptoms a new name: type 3 diabetes or double diabetes. Since obesity and diabetes are often found together this is now being called "diabesity."

Names are meaningless unless they pertain to cause.
Much more appropriate names for type 1 and type 2 diabetes would be insulin-deficient or insulin-resistant diabetes respectively, stressing the importance of insulin signaling in this disease. And in this case, the progression and deterioration of so-called type 1 and type 2 diabetes into one another should more appropriately be called Doctor Induced Exacerbation or DIE, stressing the significance of current medical treatment as the cause of type 3 or double diabetes.

I have been incensed about the traditional medical treatment of diabetes for decades…..  It is especially a disgrace that insulin-resistant diabetics (the vast majority of diabetics) becomes worse by following current medical recommendations and treatment. This is a disease that is reversible, and in many cases curable, by paying attention to decades of metabolic science (as revealed in books such as "The Rosedale Diet" and the "Total Health Program").
