WOW!  Over 2 trillion $$$ on health care spending in the US EACH YEAR!

Pretty soon you are talking real money.

Here is the sad part.  They are saying that type 2 diabetes only accounts for 10% of all health care spending. 

I call BS.  Because they are only looking at people that have been clinically diagnosed with full blown type 2 diabetes. 

Type 2 diabetes does not happen over night.  Usually it takes 20, 30, 40, 50 years. 

To say that someone has type 2 diabetes in year 43 - but not in years 42, 41, 40, etc - is rediculous. 

There is what is known as PRE Type 2 diabetes.  Also known as Metabolic syndrome, Syndrome X, and a lot of other names. 

And most "health experts" are not aware of the all the health problems - all the symptoms - that are flashing big, bright red lights on your dashboard of life - screaming that you have PRE Type 2 diabetes. 

Which is why I made a list.  If you look in the left hand column, towards the bottom - you will see "Keiths List of Pre Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms".  Click on it and open it up. 

This is a list of the health problems that are associated with type 2 diabetes.  These are the problems caused by type 2 diabetes. 

If you have one or more of these symptoms - then most likely you have PRE Type 2 diabetes, Syndrome X, Metabolic Syndrome. 

I think that these health problems account for 80% of all health care spending.  I am looking at drug store costs, prescription drugs, regular (over the counter) drugs, doctor visits, hospital visits, lab tests, insurance and administrative costs, etc. 

My estimate is 1.6 TRILLION $$$ is spent each year on Type 2 diabetes. 

Here is the really sad part.  PRE type 2 diabetes is caused by eating crap and poor nutrition. 

If everyone eat a low carb (or low glycemic) diet, took proper supplements, and got a little moderate exercise - we would have about a 1.6 TRILLION $$$ stimulus package right here in America. 

But only YOU can do it.
