Drugs for Type II Diabetes

Tweet

As someone who must depend upon some medication for certain health problems, I am becoming increasingly fearful of prescription drugs because most of them carry such a high risk of negative side effects. My doctor recently recommended that I go on an oral medication to treat my diabetes even though my readings are not very high when I test. I refused because I am already taking more medication than I like. What happened to doctors offering other alternatives to medication before placing you on more and more medication? My previous doctor(for more than 30 years), did not find it necessary to put me on medication. I am careful about what I eat, and everyone says that my readings are not high at all. They have been diabetic for many years. Is there a hidden motive for doctors now to push patients into going on all of these drugs? I believe so. I received a regular newsletter from which I have taken the following excerpt: Type II diabetes: It's in the water? For years, the medical community has pinned the rising rates of Type II diabetes on the fatty, fast food diet of many Americans. But now a new study reveals that it may not be what we're eating that's giving us diabetes, but what we're drinking. Nope, it's not soda, lemonade, or coffee … but water. Apparently, millions of people in America and around the globe are guzzling down water that's contaminated with arsenic. According to a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the water supplies of as many as 13 million Americans is corrupted by an amount of inorganic arsenic that's well above the Environmental Protection Agency standard of 10 micrograms per liter. When I say "inorganic" arsenic, I mean arsenic that's not naturally occurring; in other words, its junk left over from man-made things like industrial waste. Arsenic has no taste, color or smell, and at high levels it's deadly – as anyone who's ever read "Arsenic and Old Lace" can tell you. The researchers concluded that the participants in the study with the highest arsenic levels were 3.6 times as likely to have Type II diabetes. As for these researchers, I think it would've been nice for them to release exactly WHICH 13 million Americans are exposed to this tainted drinking water… but they didn't. Government cover-up, anyone? This newsletter is published by a doctor who constantly strives to debunk all of the myths about medicine.
