Why Destroy Healthy Organs

In January 2008 the Journal of the American Medical Association argued the case for surgery as the newest breakthrough in treating Type 2 diabetes. This makes no sense at all and merely encourages the quick-fix practice people have come to expect in medicine, without eradicating the cause of the problem. One shudders to think what might happen if this principle were applied when someone got a headache.

So why do surgeons recommend gastric surgery? No doubt its because dieting doesn’t work and people are desperate. Gastric surgery results in a 20% weight loss while ‘dieting’ produced only a 2% weight loss.

Gastric bypass surgery characterizes the first time in medical history that doctors are removing healthy tissue, with 200,000 surgeries performed in 2006, and rising. This is a 1,500% increase in the previous 8 years.

Meantime, there is considerable risk of dying during this type of surgery, a great shock is experienced by the body in these circumstances and increased neurological problems arise after five years. This treatment poses a huge health risk on all counts and cannot be recommended as a ‘breakthrough’ in treating an easily reversed condition such as Type 2 diabetes.

What is not well known, because doctors are not nutritionists, is the report in 1998 on findings that insulin resistance (the real cause of the problem) could be reversed in four days with the right diet. Surely this has to be the route to take; for the immediate benefit of reversing diabetes and the health of the patient in the long-term
