In 2007, GlaxoSmithKline, the large pharmaceutical manufacturer was told by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to use a "black label" on its popular Avandia prescription drug for diabetes, to warn of potentially lethal heart attack side effects. Avandia had passed the government testing procedures, but was found to be potentially deadly.

Receiving a "black label" mandate from this government agency is serious business - for both the indicted drug manufacturer and all those patients that have taken or are considering taking this product. It's bad news for everyone. It means the recommended cure may be worse than the illness it's addressing.

Over the last few years, diabetics looking for prescription drug remedies to help them lose weight, lower their blood sugar or cholesterol levels, have been scared out of their wits.

The drum roll of Food & Drug Administration recalled products, often used by diabetics includes:

-Avandia

-Rezulin

-Baycol

-Ephedra

-Crestor

-Fen Phen

-Meridia

During this same time, author Kevin Trudeau published two books, entitled Natural Cures, and promoted them heavily in half hour infomercials on television. The massive exposure and publicity generated by his book, caused it become a New York Times best-seller.

Why would a relatively unknown person, with no medical training, cause people to part with their money to learn how to control their serious illnesses and diseases?

We get calls from Type 2 diabetics every day. And the answer is obvious.

They're tired of hearing that the expensive diabetic treatments, prescribed by their doctors often make them worse not better.

They're tired of hearing their own personal physicians tell them to diet and exercise and then handing them a bill for this ten minutes of general advice.

They're tired of hearing about how their disease is going to trigger a whole string of terrible illnesses if they don't do something fast.

Everyday they're told to do something about their weight and blood sugar. Yet, everyday, they hear that the prescribed remedies are toxic.

In steps Mr. Trudeau with his natural recommendations and he's on national best-seller lists.

Natural remedies, treatments and cures have been around for thousands of years. One of the most effective and proven safe natural remedies is aspirin - the bark of willow trees has been used for over 100 years and, try as they might to find a more expensive replacement, the pharmaceutical industry has been unable to create a better product.

It's not just the pharmaceutical companies fault. Doctors, most of them well-educated and well-meaning, are not trained in natural remedy or treatments. In fact, as Kevin Trudeau points out, some of their medical school training is subsidized or provided by the "Big Pharma" companies. So doctors are biased against prescribing natural treatments, and biased towards ethical drug products.

One of the most popular natural remedies that diabetics are turning to is special niacin-bound chromium based products. Chromium is a trace mineral, found in the body. It has been shown to regulate blood sugar levels.

Unfortunately, "Big Food" companies, as Trudeau calls them, focus on providing American consumers with low cost, cheap products that taste good and are bad for your health. One bad food is the ingredient high fructose corn syrup, used in soda, candy, baked goods, even ketchup.

This nasty ingredient drains the chromium out of your body, causing an unhealthy imbalance of your blood sugar levels.

To restore the imbalance, chromium supplementation is required to restore this trace mineral balance and lower blood sugar levels.

But this specific form of chromium mineral has also been found to lower cholesterol levels and help control weight gain.

It's unique, niacin-bound formula helps it to be fully absorbed into your system, rendering it highly effective. This has been confirmed in clinical tests at Harvard, UC Berkeley and other respected institutions.

More importantly for skeptical diabetics, it's been tested for short and long term safety by Creighton University Medical Center and affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the independent testing firm, the Burdock Group.

So if it's so great and so safe, why hasn't the medical industry embraced this product?

Just ask Kevin Trudeau about Big Pharma, Big Business and their control over a medical industry that continues to pump out deadly remedies, making them rich and your health at risk.
