Exposed: Docs BAFFLED By Common Disease

By Jack Taylor Posted September 29, 2019

By the time you hit your “golden years,” you’ve probably been with the same primary care doc for decades.  

You chat about old times… you trade stories about how the kids and grandkids are doing… and when the pleasantries and jokes subside, you trust him to know what’s best for your health. 

Heck, he may be one of the longest-lasting friendships you’ve got! 

But there’s a problem… 

Most mainstream docs don’t know JACK! 

According to an all-new study out of Johns Hopkins University – one of the best research institutions around – most traditional docs are completely IN THE DARK about one all-too-common disease.  

It’s a condition that affects MILLIONS of Americans every year… leading to heart disease, early death, and more… and there’s a good chance your doc CAN’T identify it! 

Thanks to his incompetence, you could have it right now and have NO IDEA… 

But don’t worry. 

I’m about to fill you in on everything he can’t, starting with the disease itself… 

Prediabetes. 

Widely known as a precursor to diabetes, that’s when your blood sugar is slightly too high for comfort – and if left untreated, it often develops into full-blown diabetes down the line.  

Once that happens, your risk of heart disease, nerve and kidney damage, Alzheimer’s, and early death shoot through the roof… and there’s no way to fully reverse your condition. 

But despite the prevalence of prediabetes – almost ONE-THIRD of U.S. adults have it – research reveals that mainstream docs have NO IDEA how to see it or stop it! 

It’s no wonder that up to 90 percent of prediabetics don’t know they have it… 

Their doctors don’t know either! 

In the shocking new study, published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, Hopkins researchers sent surveys to more than 850 randomly selected primary care physicians throughout the country – and in true mainstream fashion, fewer than 300 responded. 

Those who did, however, shouldn’t be praised… 

Because all they did was REVEAL THEIR INCOMPETENCE! 

The survey asked respondents to identify risk factors that should prompt a prediabetes screening. Then, they had to demonstrate their knowledge of indicators like fasting blood glucose and HbA1c (blood sugar over three months).  

Later, they were asked about methods of slowing or stopping prediabetes… 

Here are the results:  

• Only 42 PERCENT of docs knew the correct fasting glucose and HbA1c values that indicate prediabetes. 
• Only 8 PERCENT knew the general amount of weight loss needed to lower diabetes risk. 
• And on average, docs could only identify 10 out of 15 risk factors of prediabetes! 

Researchers believe these giant GAPS in knowledge indicate a problem within the healthcare system – notably, that it encourages using drugs like metformin to TREAT diabetes rather than PREVENTING the disease in the first place! 

Docs choosing Big Pharma meds over proven alternatives? Gee, sounds familiar. 

Don’t stick with any doc who doesn’t know their stuff. Find a physician who can answer any and all questions you may have about prediabetes – and look for safe, all-natural remedies. 

If you are overweight, older than 45 years old, inactive, or have high blood pressure, consider picking up a berberine supplement today.  

Those and other risk factors can up your risk of prediabetes, but this plant compound is famous for lowering sky-high blood sugar. Look for it at a vitamin shop in your area.
