Dads Love Is Behind Diabetes Breakthrough

Carson City, NV Greg Gilbert isnt a doctor, hes a dad. In 1986 his daughter was diagnosed a type 1 diabetic. She was just two-years-old.
Trina became extremely brittle, he explains. My wife and I couldnt let her out of our sight. Wed put her in bed between us. One day youd measure her eating and insulin and shed be fine. The next day youd do the exact same thing and shed go into convulsions under the covers.
Gilbert says he couldnt take watching his youngest daughter slowly rotting from the inside out. I took a doctor out to lunch and told him I planned to make a smarter insulin pump. I had no idea how I was going to do it, but I thought it needed to be done. He said, Why make a pump? Blood sugar is just a symptom. Diabetes is a metabolic problem. So, I decided to change her metabolism.
Gilbert wasnt a doctor; he was a lawyer working in the oil and gas industry. Knowing his baby would face amputations, blindness, and a shorter life span was enough to make him head to medical school for a few years.
Most people think diabetes is about blood sugar. Control your insulin and you control the problem. But even the most attentive of diabetics those who religiously give themselves insulin shots or medications – can only hold-off the damage. Doctor Marc Rose is now working with Gilbert to promote the only treatment that addresses the core problem of diabetes, improper metabolism causing diabetic complications.
We decided to mimic what the body does. After eating, the normal persons pancreas micro-pulses insulin. We decided to develop a machine that mimics that for them. This fixes the metabolism at the inter-cellular level.
Gilberts daughter was the first child to try out their new gizmo. She was six, says Gilbert. We were confident, but didnt really know if it was going to work. Then, one day I heard a noise. I thought it was the cat. I turned the corner and there was my daughter. She was singing. The therapy was already making her feel that good! My baby was six and had been so sickly her whole life that I had never heard her make happy noises before.
That was nearly 20 years ago. This month, the company has gone public. The FDA has given the pump their approval. VitalCare Diabetic Treatment Centers is leading the way in bringing this medical miracle to the public.
This isnt a replacement for the insulin diabetics give themselves every day, says Dr. Rose, This is better. We can halt the damage a diabetics body is going through. We can stabilize them. In truth, and this is the amazing partwe can fix them.
One of the best examples of VitalCare fixing a diabetic with problems isnt a child with type 1 diabetes, like Trina Gilbert. It is a middle aged woman with type II diabetes. She came to Gilbert explaining her only hope was a heart transplant she couldnt get because her body, like all late-stage diabetics, was killing itself. After 9 months of treatment, says Gilbert, That womans doctor said she didnt need a heart transplant anymore. Today, that same woman who was given six months to live in 1992 is healthy and in her 60s.
Those miracles dont happen without VitalCares treatment protocol. Type 1 (juvenile diabetes) and type 2 (adult onset diabetes) are two completely different diseases. But both have one thing in common; no matter how careful the patient is to control blood sugar and measure insulin shots, they can only slow the bleeding into the eyes, the damage to the extremities and the likely need for dialysis. The FDA says 6 hours in a VitalCare Clinic once a week can not only stop the damage, for type II diabetes, it may reverse it.
It worked for Trina Gilbert. Today, she is 26-years-old. The only hospitalization shes ever needed was for the birth of her three children, Gilberts grandchildren. You cant tell shes diabetic, says Gilbert, She has perfect eyes, perfect kidneys. You can run all the tests you want. They all come back normal.
So why is Gilbert still up at night? It isnt because his 2-year-old is convulsing under the covers beside him.
Ill tell you a secret, he says. Sometimes Im still awake fighting back tears. Somewhere theres another little girl whose parents dont know our clinics are out there. And without access to a clinic, I cant help her. Without access to our clinic, that child really is doomed to a life filled with complications and pain.
