Wow, I just have to say my piece on AARP. They are one of the finest and most valuable organizations I belong to....
AARP does several extremely valuable things, such as combating scammers who target the elderly, and helping people cope with widowhood. However, like others here, I don't like their politics -- especially their insistence that health problems due to aging are actually caused by "poor lifestyles." They seem to have overlooked the fact that humans are mortal.
Why do they argue against the idea that problems due to aging are in fact, due to aging? Probably because this argument helps their financial agenda, which is largely based on the claim that health problems do not increase based on age. Instead, all those older Type 2 diabetics need medicine because they are EVIL, and want to leach off of society by having their insulin paid for, just to spite everyone. "Bwah ha ha ha ha, I love having diabetes so I can financially exploit people, and I have no desire to get better!" said
no Type 2 diabetic, ever.
I am a Type 2 diabetic, and I certainly want to get better. My problems from Type 2 diabetes are life-threatening, despite doing everything one is supposed to do to stop Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, most of the things my physicians said to do actually have now been shown to make Type 2 diabetes worse. This is particularly true of following a high-carb, low fat diet with plenty of fructose-laden fruits and veggies. (Literally, fructose means "fruit sugar." It's not just in High Fructose Corn Syrup.) Many of the older drugs used to treat Type 2 diabetes make the problem worse in the long run.
OK, I am going way off-topic. But I am an established researcher who has published on the topic of Type 2 diabetes and lifestyle. Anyone who wants to know what actually works for Type 2 diabetes, or who wants to advocate on behalf of people with this horrible disease,
please contact me.
Has anyone gone with Wesley Financial Group? What was the experience? Just reading how there process works, they give you a free consultation, review your situation to see if you are qualify and they say you pay nothing if they don't successfully get rid of your timeshare. i want to know how these groups work, so i would to hear from anybody that has gone this route.
No experienced TUG member is ignorant and/or foolish enough to fall for one of the "big up front fee" scams. So, no, no one here has tried these con artists. I see you have only three posts but joined six months ago. So, I honestly don't know if you are a shill for these con artists or asking a perfectly honest question.
