I'm Mike Huckabee, And I Approve This ... Infomercial?
Mike Huckabee has always had the reputation as a candidate who does things outside the box. But he is now the face of the Diabetes Solution Kit, a $20 quasi-medical product that claims to reverse diabetes for good through lifestyle changes, and without the use of drugs. If you've watched television past midnight lately, the tone of the 36-minute product video, which begins with a message from Huckabee, is about as infomercial as it gets. "Let me tell you that diabetes can be reversed. I should know, because I did it and today, you can too," Huckabee says, referring to his 110-pound weight loss that he said got his own blood sugar under control.
Huckabee's spokeswoman, Alice Stewart, said that he no longer has a relationship with Barton Publishing, the company behind the kit. She said the video "was something created several months ago, back in 2014, but due to possible future plans, they have concluded the relationship." The infomercial, which is not related to a campaign or political party, has again raised questions about just how serious Huckabee is about running for President.
