"I am sharing this message to diabetic patients that are looking for a different path to health. This is a sensitive topic for me as my father has suffered from diabetes the majority of my life. I have had to see him in and out of doctor’s offices, suffer from ulcers and wounds that take years to heal. I want to share this information to help lead people into a healthier life style."
