(Damien speaking): Hi @Barre . I have a question regarding diabetes and people like my father who have been given little to no advice on how to properly adjust and heal, other than remedial dietary suggestions, and drugs. I have hesitated asking about this for many months now. My Dad, (who has consumed many of the Alfacast podcasts, and is a fan) was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I know you have addressed this topic before in this portal. And I have also heard you say “you can’t heal a word, and diabetes is a word” (which I fully agree with). With that said, my Dad has asked me if I would kindly ask your thoughts on this topic. He would like to approach his situation outside of any prescribed drugs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Ba
His A1C reading is above 6, below 7.
He was prescribed: Metformin to help regulate his blood sugar. He wants to move away from this.
In addition to diabetes, he grapples with high blood pressure. Between you and me, and anyone else who is choosing to read this: my Dad is a 77-year-old South Philly Italian hustler. My parents have two homes. When he’s back east, he’s the CEO, immersed in the fast-paced world of asset management and hedge funds. In their second home, he finds solace in nature in Zion Canyon, UT, where he enjoys hiking and connecting with the serenity around him. He’s old school, yet completely young at heart; a total paradox!
Last night during our executive co-op meeting, @alfawarrior mentioned the idea of having the next Alfacast a possible in-house chat. Just throwing this idea out there – what do you think about discussing ‘diabetes’ and ‘high blood pressure’ for the next Alfacast? Maybe also tying in other common diagnosis words(?). Would the conversation be compelling enough? Maybe not for most, however I think you would offer invaluable insights not only to my father but to countless others seeking alternatives to conventional treatments. Regardless of whether this suggestion resonates with you, please know that Annette and I hold immense gratitude for the love and support you and Mike provide to our community.
