How to cure diabetes
These discoveries and life-threatening changes to my health ended up being a blessing in disguise. It led me to discover a revolutionary system and lifestyle from a remote ethnic group in Myanmar.
A country that was blocked off from the rest of the world for the past century. A group that rarely has any cases of diabetes and whom the majority do not even know what diabetes is.
