 ===== Tim's history with diabetes =====
-In January 2014, Tim began describing feeling a tingling numbness in his hands and feet, especially his right foot. Frequent guest [[gregg]] suggested that Tim get checked for **diabetes,** recognizing Tim's symptoms as an early warning sign, though Tim denied the idea that it was diabetes, stating it was for old people.[(cite:s04e01>[[s04e01]])] Over the next week, Tim's foot began to hurt more and more, becoming swollen and irritated, with both Tim and Gregg noting a distinct scent. [[tims_nephew]] suggested that Tim look into an acupuncturist to look into both Tim's foot numbness and potential weight loss.[(cite:s04e02>[[s04e02]])] Tim visited the acupuncturist, [[drsan]], who stated that Tim needed 72 hours of medical observation. He diagnosed Tim with an overactive liver, or "liver fire," and attempted to calm Tim's liver with acupuncture.[(cite:s04e03>[[s04e03]])] A variety of painful sores began developing on Tim's face from the needles, which San stated was allowing toxins within Tim's body to release themselves.[(cite:s04e04>[[s04e04]])]

+Tim eventually saw other medical professionals who diagnosed that Tim was indeed suffering from diabetes after all. Tim researched potential aids for his diabetes on his own, discovering that a website called "cureyourself.com," which recommended eating two big spoonfuls of flax seed a day to help reverse some of the side effects.[(cite:s04e07>[[s04e07]])] As part of the regiment, he would undergo a "flax cleanse" every two weeks, in which he didn't eat any flax seed at all.[(cite:oscar2>[[oscar2]])]
