I regularly use Chromium Picolinate to help lower my blood sugar. I had that same question for a long time. I actually started to get quite angry with the whole medical establishment after using the vitamins for a few months and seeing how well they worked for me. In the end, it all comes down to simple economics. Individual doctors are so busy dealing with patients that they often just prescribe what is recommended to them by the major drug companies.
Drug companies do the research, create the formulas, and supply the doctors.
The doctors then supply the patients with what they've been given by the drug companies. This man has helped thousands of people by letting them know this kind of information. I feel he is more of a Dr. than the doctors that treat people. He is giving us a way to help our selves. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
