The Dr. John Poothullil Commentaries

Diabetes is not a communicable disease yet, the global diabetes cases are expected to soar from the current 529 million to 1.3 billion by 2050. With the world coming together to watch the Olympic games, it is a time to discuss that Type 2 Diabetes is a global epidemic.

China, India, Pakistan, and the United States of America are the top countries with the largest number of people with diabetes. Diabetes, one of the top 10 leading causes of death and disability, is especially evident in people 65 and older in every country with a prevalence rate of more than 20% for that demographic worldwide. The highest rate is 24.4% for those between ages 75 and 79.

I interviewed Mr. Hanumantha Rao who retired in 2021 after working as a professor of English in India for 45 years. He got interested in Type 2 diabetes when his wife was diagnosed with it 30 years ago. He has read extensively about the condition and was intrigued by my hypothesis after hearing me talk. He not only read my book Diabetes: The Real Cause & The Right Cure, but also translated it into his native language, Telugu, in India.

I asked Dr. Rao his reasons for promoting the steps I have explained in the book to cure Type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes, regardless of the part of the world you live in.

John Poothullill practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. He received his medical degree from the University of Kerala, India in 1968, after which he did two years of medical residency in Washington, DC and Phoenix, AZ and two years of fellowship, one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the other in Ontario, Canada. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics.During his medical practice, John became interested in understanding the causes of and interconnections between hunger, satiation, and weight gain. His interest turned into a passion and a multi-decade personal study and research project that led him to read many medical journal articles, medical textbooks, and other scholarly works in biology, biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and cellular metabolic functions. This eventually guided Dr. Poothullil to investigate the theory of insulin resistance as it relates to diabetes. Recognizing that this theory was illogical, he spent a few years rethinking the biology behind high blood sugar and finally developed the fatty acid burn switch as the real cause of diabetes.Dr. Poothullil has written articles on hunger and satiation, weight loss, diabetes, and the senses of taste and smell. His articles have been published in medical journals such as Physiology and Behavior, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, Journal of Women’s Health, Journal of Applied Research, Nutrition, and Nutritional Neuroscience. His work has been quoted in Woman’s Day, Fitness, Red Book and Woman’s World.Dr. Poothullil resides in Portland, OR and is available for phone and live interviews.To learn more buy the books at: amazon.com/author/drjohnpoothullil
