Stroke Recovery and Weight Loss

by Tom Pauley on November 24, 2011

One of the elements of my stroke recovery has been watching my diet.

Every time I see a doctor I hear the same mantra, “lose weight and this diabetes will go away.”

Well, as most people know all too well, that’s a whole lot easier than it seems. First of all diabetes holds a unique gift; it does everything it can to keep you from losing weight.

It messes with your metabolism. So the more you try to lose the more your body resists.

I did lose about 27 pounds last year. I strutted around to see all my docs just so they could congratulate me.

But truth be told it was not due to my restricted diet or my will power. It was due primarily to my diabetic medicine, Januvia.

I didn’t notice it till a few days ago, but that powerful new pharmaceutical gives upper repertory infection a helping hand. They hide this information in a jumble of obfuscation.

Now, I know why I spent October through late Spring fighting a deep seated upper respiratory infection. There were days I felt I may never see another summer.

I tried every vitamin I could find, dozens of virus patches and bacteria patches, special brewed teas, a bevy of antibiotics and even a healthy dose of 16 year-old Irish cough medicine. So much for a miracle healing.

But nothing worked until the swallows along with warm weather and southern breezes returned to Southern California.

Well, as I was damning Januvia to my stroke doctor because of the evil effect of the drug (he prefers the less honest side-effect). I added in passing, “there isn’t any other ‘side-effect’ I should know about?”

He said, “If you really want to get depressed we could talk about the liver damage.”

What the *%#! is wrong with the medical community? I’ve been on that stuff since 2005. I’ve already had 7 strokes. And one of them just now mentioned this liver thing!!!

They never want to hear about my success with Pro Argi9 Plus. Which I feel is primarily responsible for lowering my blood sugar to an all time low. Giving me a lower A1C than most humans. And allowing me to eat an occasional piece of pecan pie.

No. I mention it and they all go deaf. One even said, ” The trouble I have with those health food things is you’ll have to keep taking them for life.”

I guess that’s opposed to Pharmaceuticals that simply kill you because of an undisclosed “side-effect”.

Now, that I’ve had this rant about the MD-Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex, let me get to the real reason for this post.

Forget your diet this Thanksgiving. Eat, drink and be merry. And think about football…or kite flying… or anything, but your health.

Thanksgiving is our country’s unique celebration of Gluttony and I for one am not about to miss it. Certainly not the pecan pie.

Relax and give thanks; you’re alive my friend. And take it from one who knows…that’s reason enough for celebration.

O! In the spirit of total disclosure I did manage to put much of that weight I lost back on. I guess that kills any hope of a diet book, “How I Lost 27 Pounds Without Even Trying.”
