"There are 18.2 million people in the United States, or 6.3% of the
population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 13 million have been
diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 5.2 million people (or nearly
one-third) are unaware that they have the disease. Diabetes is a
disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a
hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into
energy needed for daily life.
Sanoviv Medical Institute and Health Retreat excels at treating
chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes. While traditional
Western medical treatments focus on insulin and medications, the
Sanoviv approach emphasizes diet, nutrition, exercise, psychological
issues and lifestyle modification, all in a beautiful, serene
setting."
