A company I used to work for offshores with Americans.
They contract with semi-retired expat Americans living in Costa Rica. I believe they are paid $5/hour. Which is more than enough to live on in Costa Rica.
The company gets the best of both worlds. Cheap labor combined with senior level skills and having English as their first language.
I am currently following a similar weight loss program (it's 1000 calories per day instead of 800) and I have met several people in this program who were suffering from Type II diabetes but are now insulin free.
As others have mentioned, this type of treatment, (low cal, reduced carb) has been known for quite a while.

An ambulance ride can cost $1000 even if you have insurance.
