YOUR DIABETES DRUGS CAN KILL YOU AND NO ONE WILL KNOW
From Health Alert Dr Bruce West MD  

" If you  are  taking  diabetes  drugs,  beware of the  two  have  been  proven  to  be  dangerous, and  also  understand  that  other  diabetes drugs   are   under   investigation  for life–threatening  side  effects.  Simply  get  off the drugs  bandwagon." Health Alert, Vol. 21, issue 1

Vincent came to me as a pretty healthy guy. He had reached 80  years  of age and was  doing pretty well.  But  he  could  not  quite  gel  himself to  stop eating  sweets  and  start  exercising.  And  why bother?  His  drugs  for type  2  diabetes  did  a great job of keeping his blood sugar down.

The  problem  was  that  Vincent  kept  getting "spells." A cold chill would come over him and he would simply black out.  He had  already split open his  head,  sprained  his  ankle,  and  broken  two fingers  from going down  on  hard surfaces  during his  spells.  And  the  spells  were  becoming more frequent.

The point here  is  that his  well-meaning doctor caused  him  great  injury.  The  odds  seemed  good that he  could  have  been  killed  during  one  of his blackouts  and  no  one  would  have  ever  known why. But luckily for Vincent,  he  was  not killed.  It is now known that, just possibly, deaths caused by diabetes drugs are the greatest medical scandal of all time. .

Deaf Ears

My  warnings  that his  diabetes  drugs  could be causing  the  spells  fell  on  deaf ears  because  his prescribing  physician  told  him  that I was  nuts, that is,  until  he went down  hard and broke off his two  front teeth.  This  caused  all  kinds  of complications and Vincent was never quite the same after this fall. So he decided to follow my advice.
He  started  the  Protein Power  diet  (Eades  & Eades)  with  no  wheat  and  started  lifting weights using  the  Slow  Burn  Fitness  Revolution  (Hahn, Eades,  &  Eades), and began taking the supplements.  In  two  weeks  he  reduced  his dosage  of diabetes  medicine.  In  one  month  he reduced  it further.  In  60  days  he  was  off the drug altogether.  And  "shockingly" his  spells  disappeared after the first two weeks.

A Frightening Look at the Numbers

Sulfonylureas  are  some  of the  most  widely prescribed  type 2  diabetes  drugs-with  millions prescribed  for decades.  There  are ten  brand name sulfonylureas drugs,  so  ask  your doctor if you  are on  one of these drugs.  The reason  is  simple.  They are  responsible  for  a  massive  increase  in  death rate–29 per 1,000 patients per year.*

The  latest figures  for sulfonylureas drugs  show about 32.6  million  prescriptions  written  for about 2.72  million patients  annually.  A large percentage of these  folks  also  have  heart  problems  and  are prescribed  powerful  heart drugs.  This  of course compounds the potential dangers
Based  on  these  hard  statistics,  the  actual number of extra deaths  each  year would  be somewhere in the range of 80,000 people! How did I get this  number?  I  multiplied  the  number  of people prescribed  sulfonylureas  by  the  increased  death rate,  or 2.72  million  x  29/1000.  This  equals  close to  80,000 deaths per year. That's more people than were  in  the  Super  Bowl  stadium.  Now  that's  a scandal.

Medical Dogma

Why  isn't  this  well  known,  or  better  yet, shouted  from  the  rooftops?  For  many  issues  in medicine,  dogma  reigns  supreme.  Even  though these statistics  have been  known  since the  1970’s, the  medical  high  priests  have  pronounced  that these drugs  are  good,  and  so  they  are.  For  some folks  who  refuse  to  take  responsibility  for their own  health,  perhaps  rolling  the  dice  with  these drugs is their only option.

I  can  guarantee  that  Vincent,  a  relatively healthy  guy,  would have  wanted  his  doctor to  tell him the truth.  But for the absolute humiliation of it all,  we  could  all  know  the  truth.  However,  that isn't about to  happen any  time soon.  So take heed with  any  and  all  prescriptions.  An  essential  drug can be a godsend but more and more, powerful and plentiful  prescription  drugs  have  helped  push medical  care into  the unenviable position  of being the number one killer in this country today.

You have a choice as  for  type  2  diabetes?  Simply  end  it  by getting on the Protein Power diet, exercising with weights, eliminating  all  wheat from your diet,  and taking supplements for three  to  eight months. Oh  yes,  and instruct your doctor to  take you  off sulfonylureas today and to slowly wean you off all type  2  diabetes  drugs  as  your  blood  sugar  normalizes.

Vincent's  doctor still  thinks  that I  am  nuts.  He also  still  thinks  that type 2 diabetes  is  a medically incurable condition. In fact it is really only a symptom. And your goal should be to end it now before you are killed by your treatment. If you have type 2 diabetes,  be  sure  to  read  "DDD:  The  Deadly Diabetes Duo," Health Alert  Vol. 23, No. 3.
