Hi Folks,

Loquat1 here calling all T2 fellow travellers from sunny Sidcup. Has anybody out there come across Mark Hyman's Diabesity Prescription Program? He recently posted a 65min 'webinar' introducing the pogram, and it appears to me that he is a bona fide practitioner who talks a lot of sense.

I have come across other sources that I trust who say much the same, so my inclination is to try this program out & see what comes of it. Anybody out there who would like to dissuade me with compelling arguments to the contrary before I commit?

Thx,
loquat1
 
Hi Patch,

Be glad to, but it's a bit too involved to do it justice with a brief summary. If you pm me, I'll send you the links, including the link for the webinar. Alternatively, if you just google him and/or the program, you should be able to come up with the relevant sites for yourself.

However, if I get many more requests like yours, I'll reconsider & possibly write up a brief synopsis for the benefit of the wider T2 community out there.

Good luck, & let me know how you get on with your search for the lowdown on this progr.

PS Sorry Patch, forgot to mention: ultrawellness is one of the keywords you should use in your search. That should take you straight to the relevant sites. I'll test it myself just to make sure, & report back if it fails.

Cheers,
Costas
 
I would also be interested in learning more about whether this program is on the up-and-up.
Thank you.
 
Well, thx 4 the warning Bigglesworth. Haven't tried out this progr. yet - just haven't found the time. But I have 2 wonder if, like so many stuck in the mainstream 'pharma solutions' (and I confess in advance that I'm making an almighty assumption here), you might be too cynical 4 your own good? U might well b right about M Hyman MD - but then again, it's @ least possible u may not.

I'll certainly chk him out b4 I commit, and x-referencing against google is a standard investigative tool I use b4 I venture any further. That's how I found out about Jon Barron and Glucotor v2. Tell me, 4 my edification and enlightenment, are you as dismissive about these as well? Coz 4 what it's worth - I can tell u this completely natural 'remedy' works 4 me. See my posts re this amazing supplement elsewhere on this forum.

mjc - Sorry, I have nothing further 2 report regarding this progr. just yet. U will c from Bigglesworth's post above (and my response here) that I have been put on notice that quackery strikes again, so further digging is required b4 I enrol. Let's say the jury is out on this one 4 the time being. I will keep any %ed parties posted if/when I find out more.

You all take care now, y'hear?

This post has taught me a lesson, which is, don't post hyperlinks just name things in full so others can Google it for themelves.
 
I skimmed his article. He quotes the ACCORD study.
Anyone who does that has lost my trust immediately. Didn't they use Avandia to treat the ACCORD subjects?

Not dismissive of anything, individuals should are free to pop whatever pills whatever they wish.

Seems, however, that this "entrepreneur" has a cure/remedy for all/almost all ills known to mankind.

Odd page of legal disclaimers on the web site eg:

"No information on this site is intended as, or shall be construed as, legal, financial, medical or expert advice of any kind."

The web site also refers to supporting clinical studies. One body who conducted such a study on the product sports the following in the opening blurb on its website:

"Take your nutritional product sales to new heights by partnering with F....... Research. Make us your ally. Before Your Competition Does......." and

"With F....... Research documentation your market outreach can finally be persuasive, conclusive, and inspiring".

Not dismissive, wary.
 
Hey Bigglesworth, thx 4 the lowdown.

Looks like you've done most of the gr/work 4 me. And on the face of it, I would have to agree w. you. It's beginning 2 look a bit flaky, so will prob. give this one a miss. Just 2 b sure tho., I will chk this out a bit more thoroughly 4 myself when time permits. I would hate to throw out the baby w. the bathwater. And of course you're so right about being wary - there are enough quack remedies out there to fill an encyclopaedia.

Ardbeg - Not sure what u mean. I'm not aware that I posted any links. I don't think the forum rules allow that, do they?

Hana - Are u saying this guy approves of Avandia? Unless I'm seriously off the pace, my understanding was that his whole approach and basic philosophy was very much against the grain of conventional drug therapy. In that respect at least, he has my whole-hearted support. As 4 the rest, well, win some, lose some.

My suspicion of the ACCORD study is that it claims to prove that "Tight control" of blood glucose is harmful. I absolutely do not agree with that. I believe that high doses of medication are harmful. If it is tight control which causes heart attacks etc, why don't non-diabetics[who have automatic tight control] have those problems? Perhaps because they don't take loads of toxic drugs???
And YES all drugs are toxic to some extent. Not just Avandia, whose toxic effects are well known[hence what a choice for a trial of safety :cry: ]

PS thanks for spelling my name right. So many folks cannot resist inserting an extra ~n

The quackometer,(google it) gives one page connected with him 9/10 carnards.
Web site titled 'Who is Mark Hyman, M.D. | UltraWellness - Your Key to Lifelong Health and Vitality'
The black duck says...
This web site is using serious amounts of quack medicine terms. It is full of scientific jargon that is out of place and probably doesn't know the meaning of any of the terms. It shows little or no critical thought and so should be treated with caution! It also looks like this site is trying to sell stuff. Buyer Beware
