Mike Huckabee
what eye thynk: I know there is serious news all over the world today, but sometimes you just have to pause and shake your head...or laugh.Mike Huckabee (R) quit his gig at Fox in January to concentrate on a new bid for president. His preparation is, to put it mildly, a bit bizarre.
The Cure for Diabetes
If you have a Facebook account, you have probably seen Mr. Huckabee featured in an ad for
a diabetes cure. I can't seem to open my FB page without seeing it at least once.
Click on the ad and you'll hear this presidential hopeful telling people with diabetes they should ignore "Big Pharma" and instead use a "kitchen-cabinet cure." Both the American and Canadian Diabetes Associations have cautioned against this so-called "cure."
In the initial video he tells viewers, "Let me tell you, diabetes can be reversed. I should know because I did it. Today you can too!...Just sit tight because in a moment a free presentation is coming up that will reveal all natural secrets that are backed up by real science that really work."
It's interesting that he knows about "real science" here, but draws a blank when confronted with environmental science.In the "free presentation" that follows, viewers learn about a Diabetes Solution Kit--available for $19.95. "Most big pharma companies don't know squat about how to reverse diabetes...Techniques just like you're going to find in this kit worked for me."
Send in your $19.95, and you'll learn about the wonders of cinnamon and chromium picolinate, a mineral found in some foods and often sold as a dietary supplement.

When he was asked if he had, in fact used this cure, he answered "No," explaining that he had lost 100 pounds through a healthier diet and exercise.
Guess I'll save my twenty bucks.
The Cure for Cancer
Sign up at MikeHuckabee.com and he will send you a newsletter of regularly updated political commentaries. His January newsletter included an announcement that a miracle cure for cancer is hidden in the Bible.
You'd think with all the Bible thumping going on in Republican politics these days, one of these biblical experts would have found this secret by now.The newsletter included a link to a video offering what it called the Matthew4Protocol--FREE with a $72.00 subscription to the Health Revelations newsletter.
The Cure for Hunger
In an earlier newsletter, Mr. Huckabee warned: Food Shortage Could Devastate Country. He kindly included a link to Food4Patriots (I think I see a 4theme here) where a three month supply of freeze-dried food could be had for $497.
According to wanna-be president Mike Huckabee, this is the "number one item you should be hoarding."

Pharmaceutical companies are companies, i.e. a business. All of these companies have the biggest and best laboratories in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf any one of these companies could come up with a way to reverse one of the largest diseases in the world, THEY WOULD MARKET IT. Why? Because they are a business and businesses are in business to make money.
As for that doofus Huckabee, he's just sellin' snake oil and LYING while doing so.
