About the author
Pieter Naudé is a pharmacist who graduated from the famous pharmacy department of Potchefstroom University (PU for CHE). He obtained the B.Pharm degree in 1979 and, after a one-year internship at Kark’s Pharmacy in Bethal, qualified as a registered pharmacist in 1980.
He spent most of his life in community pharmacies, managing and/or owning various pharmacies over a 40-year professional career.
His exposure to diabetes started during his internship where his tutor was a type 1 diabetic. This piqued his interest and, later in the 1980s, his brother Philip was diagnosed with the disease and became his living case study.
Naudé is a perpetual student and avid reader who believes in finding the root cause of any medical condition. Throughout his career, he has experienced technological advances in insulin development and manufacturing methods, numerous new drug classes introduced and amazing testing methods developed. In 1980 diabetics used testing strips dipped in urine to determine if blood sugar was too high or test for ketones when it dropped too low. No quantitative readings were available unless the doctor could draw blood. This was a risky balancing act. In addition, insulin was animal-derived and not genetically modified to be similar to human insulin. Today, this has and is changing.
Keeping up with change requires dedicated study and attention to detail and this is what drives Naudé. With the global explosion in type 2 diabetes, he reverted to considering root causes. The lifestyle/nutritional approach became his obsessive field of study. His book Life’s 2 Short is the culmination of years of study and attests to his passion for helping people overcome metabolic dysfunction and lead to a drug-free and healthy life.
Synopsis
We have been sold so many lies for the sake of perverse profits. Big Food, Big Agri, and Big Pharma do not have our best interests at heart. Only profits.
If you think the medical profession is without fraudulent intentions, you need to reconsider your beliefs. Profit is what drives marketing campaigns and narratives. It is not to share vital information; it is to get you and your healthcare provider to add one more drug to your portfolio.
Metabolic conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension are merely managed; not cured. People become sicker and this is the goal: to turn people’s conditions into a life-long income stream.
Big Food makes you sick; Big Pharma manages your condition. No attempt is made to reverse any condition – they only add more drugs. Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are fast becoming the biggest health threats of modern life – mostly due to poor lifestyles.
Every 30 seconds, somewhere in the world a leg is lost to diabetes.
In this book, the author traces a line through the reasons and root causes behind some of these conditions. Aimed at the patient base and in an easy-to-read format this is not an academic showpiece – rather it’s an important chat to the man in the street. It is a pharmacist’s perspective on Type 2 diabetes, lifestyle, nutritional principles and positive outcomes – ending with a clear plan to take back your metabolic health through nutritional and lifestyle changes.
Our health is contracted to various well-meaning professionals, and that is good. It keeps us alive. But – should the control panel not be in your own hands?
