I sent the following to President Barack Obama through The Office of  Public Liason at the white house website. http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/opl/ I am asking all who see this see this to also send a message from the same contact form. I am sure the web submissions are read by a staff member and President Obama may never see it unless there are several who also send a message. When you send yours please reference message from Toma Grubb Diabetic-diet-Secrets.com lets do a call for action for change we can believe in and echo Barack Obama's words, YES WE CAN.

This is the message I sent:

I am doing my part to help both the economy and the health care crisis in the explosive growth rate of type 2 diabetes and a cluster of other chronic diseases. It may sound a bit strange to link these two but there is a close link. Some estimates say type 2 diabetes is costing the economy 1.3 trillion dollars when all factors are taken into account. Getting type 2 diabetes well controlled can reduce the cost by as much as 80 % which would help the economy not to mention the benefit to the Americans who have or will be getting type 2 diabetes.

At this point you are probably thinking that is the domain of The American Diabetes Association, NIH, CDC etc. You would be right and they should be the sources of the best information for controlling type 2 diabetes but they are failing miserably and the type 2 diabetes crisis is still doubling about every 10 years. We could have a long discussion about why this is happening but I only have 5000 characters.

In a nut shell, in 1950 less than 1% of the population was diagnosed as diabetic. In 2009 we are at, approaching or past 9% of the population. Some segments of the population are as high as 40%. We have to look at what has changed in the past 58 years to figure out what has gone wrong and what we can do to reverse the problem. We created the problem in only 58 years. With a concerted national effort we could return to or near 1950 levels in probably 5 years. If I could wave a magic wand and I could immediately get people to change the way they eat we could solve the problem in less than   100 days. I reversed my own type 2 diabetes from very high, near fatal levels to non-diabetic levels in less than 90 days. I grant you access to my VA medical records to verify this. I was diagnosed and treated in February 2005 at the VA hospital in Seattle. The recovery can be documented by my records at the Denver VANC between February 2005 and June 2005. By June 2005 I had an A1c of 5.2 and no longer taking medications for the type 2 diabetes. What I had been taught by my medical team at the VA had not worked. What was working were strategies I got from searching the internet.

Based on what I learned I started a small grass roots movement to help other type 2 diabetics. When I was looking for good information I had to search thousands of websites to find what would work. I spent 10 - 18 hours a day searching and studying the problem. When I realized there was not a free site that offered all the best information I set out to build one. Now 4 years later most of my efforts are accomplished through the website www.diabetic-Diet-Secrets.com and the book that I offer to companies for the cost of production and the free ebook I give away from the website. The site is HONcode accredited through the World Health Organization and has Google PR of 5/10

The site helps several thousand people each month. There are currently 1091 site members and that grows by a few just about every day. The stats from my server tell me there are between 35,000 and 45,000 visitors each month and up to 270,000 page loads.

What can this administration do to help?

• 1.      This one cost the government nothing other than some staff time to get it done. Provide .gov  links to my site and sites similar to it help increase search engine placement so more people can find it.
• 2.      Setup and maintain a national accrediting mechanism for health related web sites similar to WHO's HONcode. Make sure there is a level playing field where new and innovative sites have just as much chance of getting the accreditation as the stale medical sites that are far behind the curve of current research (Such as American Diabetes Association) Provide an avenue for accreditation that is open to individuals like myself. There are commercial medical accreditation services but an accreditation cast several thousand dollars ($17,500 when I checked a couple of years ago.) making it impossible for individuals and small grass root movements.
• 3.      There are books written by diabetics who have learned how to beat type 2 diabetes with proper diet. I wrote one of them. There are several others that are also written by people who have actually beaten the disease themselves. One is death to Diabetes. Acquire rights to publish these books at government printing presses, Print them and distribute them to doctors, clinics and hospitals to give to their type 2 diabetes patients. I offer printing rights to mine to the government for free.
• 4.      Help get studies on why we are able to control our diabetes with diet without meds. I am willing to cooperate with NIH, CDC or anybody else to help arrange a study on the effectiveness of a proper diet. There have been attempts to study this but the healthy diet presented by the main stream is not getting the job done while mine and Dewayne MaCaully and others I can think of are working. The premise of proper diet in previous studies is flawed but still diet and exercise was twice as effective as drug interventions according to a study done by the NIH

I will continue to do the best I can on a grass roots level with or without government assistance but together we could do so much more. I will be posting this on www.Diabetic-Diet-Secrets as well as send it to you
