This is a part of a video where I was being introduced at a medical
conference by one of the doctors. This doctor was fascinated by the fact that it took an engineer to solve
one of medical science's more complex diseases. He was also amazed
that, during his radio call-in show, that I was able to answer the
questions from some of his listeners, while the two doctors on the radio
show couldn't answer most of the questions.
During
my recovery from the diabetic coma, it seemed like that almost every
week, something interesting would happen that I couldn't explain. But,
after a couple years, things settled down.
Then, one
day, I got a phone call from a doctor asking me if I'm the guy who
survived a diabetic coma and wrote a book about it. It turns out that he
wanted me on his call-in radio show with 2 doctors where I would play
the role of the diabetic patient. I agreed because it would be a great
opportunity to hear from other diabetics calling into the radio show.
During
the first part of the radio show, the radio show host/doctor introduced
the 2 doctors and myself; and, had each of us talk about ourselves for a
quick minute or so. Then, the radio show host/doctor asked some
questions about diabetes that each of us would answer from our
perspective.
Then, a couple people called in to the
show with their questions. But, the 2 doctors couldn't answer the
questions! They said something like: "That's an excellent question, but,
I'll have to get back to you on that." Or, they said something like:
"That's a good question, but, I don't have any information about your
medical history to answer that question."
After a few minutes of this, I said: "Excuse me, but, I think that I could answer the question from the last caller."
The radio show host/doctor said, "OK, sure, give it a shot." (I could hear the 2 doctors snickering in the background).
After I answered the question, there was dead silence.(I thought that I had said something wrong or inappropriate).
Then,
the radio show host/doctor said: "Wow, DeWayne, that's a very
interesting point of view, but, do you have any medical data or clinical
studies to back up what you just said?" (Again, the 2 doctors were
snickering in the background).
I said: "Yes, as a
matter of fact, there was a clinical study conducted in 1997 in Boston,
that was documented in the New England Journal of Medicine. And,
concerning the previous question, there were several studies done in
Germany and, I believe, one by the Mayo Clinic in 1990 or 1991, that
substantiates my earlier comment about Type 2 diabetes pathophysiology
at the cellular level. And, recently two medical doctors have admitted
that reversing Type 2 diabetes is feasible, measurable, and
quantifiable."
Within 30 seconds, the radio show's
phone lines were ringing like crazy. The 2 doctors were shocked and
flabbergasted and weren't prepared for the deluge. On the other hand, I
welcomed it. It reminded me of years ago when I was still just a rookie
engineer, I volunteered to work in the "War Room" and take phone calls
from technicians in the field who were having problems with the machines
in the customer's offices.
Originally, I was only
supposed to be on the radio show for the first 15-20 minutes. But, I
ended up staying on the show for the entire hour and answered most of
the questions.
A few days later, the radio show
host/doctor called me and said: "DeWayne, I've never got that kind of
response from my audience before, even when I had a celebrity doctor on
my show. You have GOT to come to our annual medical conference and speak
about your recovery, your diabetes program and how it's helped other
diabetics."
And, so, that's how I ended up at this medical conference ...
