Natural Cures Do Exist!

There are two big health problems with Americans today
and that is obesity and diabetes running neck and neck.
Both created in an atmosphere of bad habits brought
about by a society of do-everything-you-want-to-do and
mostly that includes eating ourselves to death!
From 1990 through 1998 alone diabetes rose a startling 70%
among people in their 30's. The number increased by 40%
in the 40's age group and 31% increase in 50's age group.
Type II diabetes once known as adult-onset diabetes
occurred in people over 40 but is now occurring in children as
young as eleven or twelve and gong below that age in
the near future. The recent statistics show that over
16 million Americans have it and it is becoming an epidemic
largely due to the shift in our food choices. Last August,
the CDC reported that diabetes jumped 33 percent
nationally over all. The New England Journal of Medicine
March 14, 2002;346:802-810, 854-855
You may think that it only happens to others but with numbers
this large it is more likely than not that it is going to happen
to
you. I say that because the chances are you are eating fast
foods at least twice a week, which is clogging those arteries
and creating unhealthy fat cells that create an atmosphere for
diabetes… You are probably getting 20 teaspoons or more of
sugar in your diet daily. The national average has gone from
10 teaspoons to 20 teaspoons per person. If you drink one
12-ounce can of soda you have consumed 9 teaspoons of
sugar. Then there are the hidden sugars in processed foods.
All this setting you up to become a diabetic!
I would prefer that you eat natural whole foods and healthy
diets but I know that is not going to happen so the next best
thing is to make sure you are getting a nutritional supplement
to help assure that you don't develop diabetes.
Ayurvedic, Indian medicine has had the answer for centuries
but is just now reaching the rest of the world. No nothing can
take the place of sensible eating but at least there is hope for
normalizing your pancreas and keeping it that way with a
formula of sugar blocking herbs.
Signs for long-term Blood Sugar Problems and/or Aspartame
poisoning are:
· Lethargy
· Blurred vision
· Dizziness
· Aching in the legs
· Excessive thirst, hunger and urination
· Numbness
· Tingling in the legs and feet
· Lack of Coordination
· Breathing difficulties
· Recurring infections
· Inability to concentrate
The risks with long-term Blood Sugar Problems are:
· Sexual performance problems
· Kidney damage/possible kidney failure
· Eye damage/possible blindness
· Ulcerating sores/possible limb amputation
· Heart Attack
I had a patient come into the clinic where I worked, late on
a Friday afternoon, with flu symptoms and we sent him to
the lab for normal blood work but they goofed and didn't get
the lab results to us until Monday. (We had a direct hook up
printer from the lab so that their machine could send us the
reports as soon as they were finished and posted in the main
lab. One of the first things I always did in the morning was
to check the printer for all lab results and if any needed
immediate attention I would take the lab report and patient
chart to the doctor for action. When I looked at that
patient's lab I immediately alerted the doctor and called the
patients' home only to find that he had died on Sunday in
the ER from a Blood Sugar level up to 800+. Because he
had felt so badly he ate only ice cream and drank 7up, both
being a no no for a diabetic, which shot his blood sugars
through the roof and killed him… He did not know he was
a diabetic and had most likely been one for years without
ever having a noticeable problem that would send him to
the doctor to discover it, or maybe like so many of us he
ignored the symptoms… He was all of 29 years old.
Don't let that happen to you. Diabetes is of epidemic proportion
these days and even if you do not have a family history of
diabetes that does not mean you will not develop diabetes!
First see your doctor for blood tests and then decide the
route
you are going to go. Whether it to be natural or traditional.
That decision should include, do you want to have diabetes
or not. The right herbal treatment offers reversal of the
problem, where traditional medicine has no clue that it can
even be reversed!
Julian Whitaker, M.D. states; "The tragedy is that the
treatment
of diabetes is fundamentally flawed and has not changed
appreciably in 50 years. Today's entire approach to diabetes
is an almost neurotic fixation on lowering the blood sugar
level, either with insulin or oral drugs. Incredibly, this
approach
totally ignores the fact that most diabetics produce too much
of their own insulin."
He goes on to say, "You see, only 10% of diabetic's
actually
have reduced production of insulin. They're called
insulin-dependent (type I) diabetics, and will likely always
need insulin replacement. However, 90% of diabetics have
non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes. Rather than an
insulin deficiency, these patients produce two to three times
the normal level, but the insulin doesn't work."
Conventional medicine does not address these realities
because it has not yet caught up to our latest understanding
of diabetes as a wasting disease.
You see, diabetes means having an elevated blood sugar
level. Your body's instinctive reaction is to try to clear all
this
excess glucose from your blood. It does this by stimulating
your kidneys to excrete large volumes of urine containing
the glucose. And this is why thirst, excessive drinking water
and frequent urination are classic symptoms of diabetes.
As a result of this process, diabetes causes massive
excretion not only of glucose-rich urine. It also triggers
massive losses of the nutrients you need for health, including
B1, B6 and B12, as well as the minerals in your system
including magnesium, zinc and chromium. This loss of vital
nutrients is perhaps the primary reason for the deterioration
of your eyes, kidneys, peripheral nerves and vessels that
so often occurs with diabetes.
In other words, these same complications would result from
any condition that causes such massive nutrient depletion.
Once you realize this, you can appreciate why nutritional
supplementation of your diet is the key to avoiding, minimizing
and even reversing diabetes and its harmful effects.
First in that repair mode is a sensible diet. No granulated
sugars,
sodas, candy or white flour.
Second get an exercise regimen going, even if it's only a 20
minute walk to start. Then get on an herbal or traditional
treatment program…
