5. Hospital visit for a heart problem followed by insulin dependence

Every time he had a hospital visit they took him off his routine oral meds and let his blood sugar skyrocket, then gave him insulin and told him he needed to stay on it with three shots a day which he HATED. One of those heart meds also kills them off.

Insulin-producing cells killed off by very high blood sugar are hard to regrow. There is a Japanese journal article that found that Japanese fermented bens called natto can help hem regrow. He started having more regulated blood sugar levels after eating that daily for a month or so.

Eventually on one of those visits they took him off his routine blood pressure regulator medicine that kept it slightly elevated, letting it plummet until they stuck him on a ventilator in a panic…then he died.

Hospital;s taking patients off the medicines they routinely take is a plague.
