Why Doctors In The Know No Longer Prescribe Metformin

Type II Diabetes sufferers may soon be tossing their test strips, lancet needles, and prescription pills.

A discovery by an Austin-based doctor may change how Type II Diabetes is treated and could even be a cure.

Dr. Marlene Merritt suffered from high blood sugar for years and was determined to find a natural solution.

“My motivation,” she says, “was to cast off the shackles of the daily monitoring, the shots and pills, and the drug side effects. I wanted to live a normal life again.”

After two years of research and trial and error experiments, Dr. Marlene Merritt hit upon a practical diet and exercise regimen that doesn’t just control Type II Diabetes but actually reverses it.

While the regimen eliminates a few foods, it most importantly adds a single food that has shown to have a big impact on the disease.

The announcement of her discovery has sent shockwaves through the medical community, with some progressive doctors enthusiastically embracing it, and many conventional doctors taking a “wait and see” approach.

Within weeks of adopting her own regimen, Dr. Merritt’s condition completely reversed. “It was just gone, and I had my life back,” she says. I then prescribed this drug-free solution to my diabetic patients and, in most cases, they too saw success in a matter of weeks.”

Despite the regimen’s effectiveness, medical journals have been slow to publish her findings. And Dr. Merritt suspects the reluctance is due to the outsized influence of the pharmaceutical industry, which stands to lose billions of dollars on lost drug sales.

The makers of Metformin, one of several drugs Dr. Merritt’s natural regimen would replace, had no comment. All diabetes drug sales are expected to reach $32 billion in 2017, according to industry analyst, Morder Intelligence.

Dr. Merritt says “Diabetics need to know about this safer option.”

To get the word out, she partnered with the independent health publisher, Primal Health, to make her diabetes reversing regimen available in an online presentation.

The video has already gone viral among the diabetic and prediabetic community and is eliciting a huge response.

Several viewers have noted the simplicity of the regimen, with many saying, “This is something I can do.” Others have been surprised to see all the foods they can eat.

According to Dr. Merritt, the diet is not restrictive. “The key is the one added food, eaten at certain times of the day, that works to reverse the disease,” she says.

Dr. Merritt is pleased her discovery has given hope to millions of diabetes sufferers who have longed to get away from a dependence on testing, needles, and drugs.

While the online presentation provides some details on implementing the regimen, Dr. Merritt cautions viewers to exercise common sense and only go off medications with the supervision of a doctor or licensed healthcare provider.
