An OPEN LETTER to Lilly Pharmaceuticals...and immense respect and gratitude for Glen Campbell

NAPLES, Fla. - June 29, 2015 - PRLog -- An Open Letter to Lily Pharmaceuticals.

I watched Glen Campbell’s biography on CNN tonight.  As you are very aware, it spotlighted Mr. Campbell’s last year in the public eye after announcing his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.  As 2012 progressed, so too did his AD.  Viewers watched as he progressively lost much of his memory, but retained his musical gift until his last concert.

At the conclusion of the show, the film’s sponsor made an announcement. The physician, speaking with the backdrop of the Mayo Clinic’s name, represented Lily Pharmaceuticals.   Now why would this insulin manufacturer sponsor a film on Alzheimer’s disease?  To put it into context, in the year during which this film was produced, Lily was in Stage lll trials for a drug to prevent AD.  I do realize that the drug was yanked due to liver complications.  I’m sorry to hear that.

Lily, it’s time to be honest with the American and worldwide public..   You have known about the genetic link between high blood glucose, high insulin, and AD for many years. The progression follows a specific path: metabolic syndrome, pre diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and finally, Alzheimer’s Disease.  AD is inevitable if the millions of people who don’t yet have the symptoms for AD are not aware of the Steps they can take to control their insulin and blood glucose.

If Lily wants to continue researching a drug that will make a bajillion dollars, fine.  But, why not do something for the millions of people who can have a chance at preventing the complications of type 2 diabetes and AD?  If you want to be known as a caring company, I propose we do a project together..  Let’s start a campaign to teach people to control blood glucose, insulin, and prevent AD

The Diabetes Miracle by Diane Kress is already a published work and is ready to go out to the public. Let’s align with each other and get the word out as soon as humanly possible. .  Lily can easily make available copies of The Diabetes Miracle to everyone who has a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, pre diabetes, or type 2 diabetes.  We know that if they live long enough without having control, they WILL develop AD.

If you really want to take a stand to help prevent Alzheimer’s…this is the right thing to do. I will stand with you and be the voice of Lily’s commitment to the health and wellness of the millions of people who are in the crosshairs of AD.  I am finishing up my next book September 1, 2015.  Let’s speak soon and talk about this project.
