Our clinical model has helped many chronically ill patients all over the world improve their condition and disease.  The Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and Nashville TN areas are where most patients come from.

Our office offers solutions to Type 2 Diabetics and Hypothyroid patients who are frustrated with the drug therapy model and less than adequate results. We have an established and solid track record helping patients overcome their condition so they can once again live a productive life that is free of the frustrations and stress often associated with our broken health care system. There is certainly a time and place for prescription drugs, however, many people agree that their long-term use can be dangerous, if not ultimately life-threatening. As an example research and clinical experience indicates that oral diabetic medication and insulin therapy may not be the best and safest method, long term, for Type 2 Diabetes.

In fact, many of the diabetic medications carry the risk of serious side effects…some causing weight gain and ultimately perpetuating the disease long term. Many people agree and understand that drugs are often only masking the problem and not getting to the root cause. In addition, many type 2 diabetic patients are unaware that high levels of insulin in the body can be very dangerous! Surprisingly it’s likely that the body is not lacking the hormone insulin. The problem for many Type 2 Diabetics is that insulin resistance has set in … this means that the body has lost the ability to utilize insulin appropriately.

Why bombard the body with something it no longer recognizes and can no longer process? Especially when unhealthy amounts of insulin may be harmful to your health and have the real potential to make your condition worse.

In other words … What sense does it make to give someone insulin who has become insulin resistant?

Type 2 diabetes has been a passion of mine since seeing my maternal and paternal grandmothers suffer for years before their untimely deaths. After feeling helpless, and now multiple years of studying this condition and chronic disease in general, I’m glad to say I have developed a clinical model that helps type 2 diabetics improve their condition, reduce & eliminate their need and dependence on prescription drugs and insulin, often lose weight without exercise, increase their energy levels and quality of life, and even achieve a non-diabetic status.

Discover fresh clinical approach for patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes. You may be able to overcome your condition and start living the happy, healthy life of your dreams! What if you could improve your Type 2 Diabetes? What if the medical establishment had it all wrong? Expensive and side-effect-laden prescription drugs and insulin injections may not be the best treatments for treating Type 2 Diabetes long term.

In fact many if not all of the diabetic medications carry the risk of serious side effects…some causing weight gain and ultimately perpetuating the disease long term. In the end a drug for every disease or symptom is commonly only masking the problem and not treating root causes. In addition, having high levels of insulin floating around in your body can be very dangerous to your health! You see more than likely it’s not that your body is lacking the hormone insulin. The problem for the majority of Type 2 Diabetics is that insulin resistance has set in … this basically means that your body has lost the ability to utilize insulin appropriately.
