Harlingen Dentist Joins the Battle
Doctor Juan Villarreal of Harlingen Family Dentistry has partnered with Frank Suarez, an internationally known obesity and metabolism specialist, in order to help people understand the causes and solutions to this ever-increasing epidemic in the Valley.
Villarreal said it is a personal matter to him because for years he was facing a life of Diabetes and was taking all the wrong medical recommendations with no success. “The NaturalSlim Program and the Power of your Metabolism book written by Frank Suarez proved to be the solution I desperately needed,” he said. “I am no longer on useless pills and strict diets after subscribing to the Program. I learned that diets don’t work in the long run. You lose weight, but gain it right back. I learned this from my own experience.”
That’s when Villarreal contacted Suarez and became the first franchisee in mainland United States. The book written by the author has sold over 500,000 copies and is highly recommended by noted doctors and hospitals that treat diabetes and obesity. Suarez calls Puerto Rico his home base and has franchises in Mexico, The United States, Costa Rica, Columbia and Panama. The author has just opened a branch in Holland for distribution in Europe. Suarez said, “I am very pleased with the acceptance of my research and this book. I feel it is a life saving program,” he added.
Suarez relates a similar background to Doctor Villarreal. He too was overweight, out of condition and taking seven types of medicine for apnea, his glucose problem and his pre-diabetes condition. “I was weak, depressed and exhausted after trying all the popular diets and highly advertised “Miracle” pills. They were a joke.”
He was 36 years-old when he became an obesity and metabolism specialist and started his own research into why diets and pills don’t work.
What he found became the basis for his book The Power of your Metabolism. His program is not a diet. It shows people how to use their metabolism to lose weight and keep it off. It helps people with diabetes and thyroid problems. It addresses the truth about cholesterol and how body fat is made from unbalanced combinations of oils, fats glucose and insulin. These combinations produce “fat” and obesity. Diabetes occurs when the body cannot handle glucose.
“Education is the solution and gets at the root of the problems,” he said, adding, “I teach people how to lower their glucose levels naturally. People have no idea, so they make mistakes in diet, lifestyle and food choices”
Suarez related some shocking statistics: For example, 68% of American citizens are overweight. One in ten (9.8%) in the United States is diagnosed with diabetes, and 50% of Americans are ranked as “pre-diabetic” or “diabetic.“ Blacks are at highest risk with Hispanics a close second. Whites and asians are next with still high levels of blood sugar problems.
The United States has the world record as far as percentage of obesity and diabetes, but the rest of the world is catching up due to the growing preference for highly refined, sugar-laced junk foods. Even the Eskimos, who once had the lowest percentage, are catching up as they are choosing unhealthy foods in place of their traditional nutrition.
