This is an
extraordinarily important article for managing your health. All forms of diabetes can be cured. It is just that you must do it yourself. The medical industry will not. Nor will the FDA as well. This is actually the best research I have seen
on this whole problem although I had a lot of it already.
This is diabetes
specific but it also puts you on the road to a massive health overhaul that
will resolve a wide range of diseases you should not have at all.
If you read no
other article on diabetes, read this one.
Better yet, read this one so you are highly informed when you read other
articles on this topic. You need to do
this if you plan to live a long life.
Our Deadly
Diabetes Deception
By Thomas Smith

Diabetes introduction
If you are an American diabetic, your physician will never tell you that most diabetes is curable.
In fact, if you even mention the cure word around him, he will likely become
upset and irrational. His medical school training only allows him to respond to
the word treatment. For him, the cure word does not exist. Diabetes, in its
modern epidemic form, is a curable disease and has been for at least 40 years.
In 2001, the most recent year for which figures US figures are posted,
934,550 Americans died from out of control symptoms of this disease.[1]
Your physician will also never tell you that at one
time strokes, both ischemic and hemorrhagic, heart failure due to neuropathy as
well as both ischemic and hemorrhagic coronary events, obesity,
atherosclerosis, elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, elevated
triglycerides, impotence, retinopathy, renal failure, liver failure, polycystic
ovary syndrome, elevated blood sugar, systemic candida, impaired carbohydrate
metabolism, poor wound healing, impaired fat metabolism, peripheral neuropathy
as well as many more of today's disgraceful epidemic disorders were once well
understood to often be but symptoms of diabetes.
If you contract diabetes and depend upon orthodox
medical treatment, sooner or later you will experience one or more of its
symptoms as the disease rapidly worsens. It is now common practice to refer
to these symptoms as if they were separable independent diseases with separate
unrelated proprietary treatments provided by competing medical specialists.
It is true that many of these symptoms can and
sometimes do result from other causes; however, it is also true that this fact
has been used to disguise the causative role of diabetes and to justify
expensive, ineffective treatments for these symptoms.
Epidemic Type II Diabetes is curable. By the time
you get to the end of this article you are going to know that. You're going
to know why it isn't routinely being cured. And, you're going to know how to
cure it. You are also probably going to be angry at what a handful of
greedy people have surreptitiously done to the entire orthodox medical
community and to its trusting patients.
The diabetes
industry
Today's diabetes industry is a massive community
that has grown step by step from its dubious origins in the early twentieth
century. In the last eighty years it has become enormously successful at
shutting out competitive voices that attempt to point out the fraud involved in
modern diabetes treatment. It has matured into a religion. And, like all
religions, it depends heavily upon the faith of the believer. So successful has
it become that it verges on blasphemy to suggest that, in most cases, the
kindly high priest with the stethoscope draped prominently around his neck is a
charlatan and a fraud. In the large majority of cases he has never cured a
single case of diabetes in his entire medical career.
The financial and political influence of this
medical community has almost totally subverted the original intent of our
regulatory agencies. They routinely approve death dealing ineffective drugs
with insufficient testing. Former commissioner of the FDA, Dr. Herbert Ley, in
testimony before a US Senate hearing, commented "People think the FDA is
protecting them. It isn't. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks its
doing are as different as night and day."[2]
The financial and political influence of this
medical community dominates our entire medical insurance industry. Although
this is beginning to change, in America, it is still difficult to find employer
group medical insurance to cover effective alternative medical treatments.
Orthodox coverage is standard in all states. Alternative medicine is not. For
example there are only 1400 licensed naturopaths in 11 states compared to over
3.4 million orthodox licensees in 50 states.[3] Generally, only approved
treatments from licensed credentialed practitioners are insurable. This, in
effect, neatly creates a special kind of money that can only be spent within
the orthodox medical and drug industry. No other industry in the world has been
able to manage the politics of convincing people to accept so large a part of
their pay in a form that does not allow them to spend it on health care as they
see fit. Insurance money can only be spent within an industry that has banned
the cure word from its vocabulary.
The financial and political influence of this medical
community completely controls virtually every diabetes publication in the
country. Many diabetes publications are subsidized by ads for diabetes supplies. No diabetes editor is going to allow the
truth to be printed in his magazine. This is why the diabetic only pays
about 1/4 to 1/3 of the cost of printing the magazine he depends upon for
accurate information. The rest is subsidized by ads purchased by diabetes
manufacturers with a vested commercial interest in preventing diabetics from
curing their diabetes. When looking for a magazine that tells the truth about
diabetes, look first to see if it is full of ads for diabetes supplies.
And then there are the various associations that
solicit annual donations to find a cure for their proprietary disease. Every
year they promise a cure is just around the corner; just send more money. Some
of these very same associations have been clearly implicated in providing
advice that promotes the progress of diabetes in their trusting supporters. For
example, for years they heavily promoted exchange diets [4] which are in fact
scientifically worthless, as anyone who has ever tried to use them quickly finds
out. They have ridiculed the use of glycemic tables which are actually very
helpful to the diabetic. They promoted the use of margarine as heart healthy
long after it was well understood that margarine causes diabetes and promotes
heart failure. [5] Why everyone expects that these tax free associations will
really self destruct by eliminating their proprietary disease and thereby
destroy their only source of income is truly amazing. If people ever wake up to
the cure for diabetes that has been suppressed for forty years, these
associations will soon be out of business. But until then, they nonetheless
continue to need our support.
For forty years medical research has consistently
shown, with increasing clarity, that type II diabetes is a degenerative
disease directly caused by an engineered food supply that is focused on profit
instead of health. Although the diligent can readily glean this information
from a wealth of medical research literature, it is generally otherwise
unavailable. Certainly this information has been, and remains, largely
unavailable in the medical schools that train our retail doctors.
Prominent among the causative agents in our modern
diabetes epidemic are the engineered fats and oils sold in today's
supermarkets.
The first step to curing diabetes is to stop
believing the lie that the disease is incurable.
Diabetes history
In 1922, three Canadian Nobel prize winners,
Banting, Best and Macleod were successful in saving the life of a fourteen year
old diabetic girl in Toronto General Hospital with injectable insulin. [6] Eli
Lilly was licensed to manufacture this new wonder drug and the medical
community basked in the glory of a job well done.
It wasn't until 1933 that rumors about a new rogue
diabetes surfaced. This was in a
paper presented by Joslyn, Dublin and Marks and printed in the American Journal
of Medical Sciences. This paper "Studies on Diabetes Mellitus" [7],
discussed the emergence of a major US epidemic of a disease which looked very
much like the diabetes of the early 1920's only it did not respond to the
wonder drug, insulin. Even worse, sometimes insulin treatment killed the
patient.
This new disease became known as Insulin Resistant
Diabetes because it had the elevated blood sugar symptom of diabetes, but responded
poorly to insulin therapy. Many physicians had considerable success in
treatment of this disease by diet. A great deal was learned about the
relationship between diet and diabetes in the 1930's and 1940's.
Diabetes, which had a per capita incidence of
0.0028% at the turn of the century, had by 1933, zoomed 1000% in the US to
become a disease faced by many doctors [8]. This disease, under a variety of
aliases, was destined to go on to wreck the health of over half of the American
population and to incapacitate almost 20% by the 1990's. [9]
In 1950 the medical community became able to perform
serum insulin assays. This quickly revealed that the disease wasn't
classical diabetes. This new disease was characterized by sufficient, often
excessive, blood insulin levels. The
problem was that the insulin was ineffective; it did not reduce blood
sugar. But, since the disease had been known as diabetes for almost twenty
years it was renamed Type II Diabetes. This was to distinguish it from the
earlier Type 1 Diabetes which was due to insufficient insulin production by the
pancreas.
Had the dietary insights of the previous 20 years
dominated the medical scene from this point and into the late 1960's, diabetes
would have become widely recognized as curable instead of merely treatable.
Unfortunately this didn't happen and so, in 1950, a search was launched for
another wonder drug to deal with the Type II Diabetes problem.
Cure vs
treatment
This new ideal wonder drug would be, like
insulin, effective in remitting obvious adverse symptoms of the disease, but
not effective in curing the underlying disease. Thus, it would be needed
continually for the remaining life of the patient. It would have to be
patentable; that is, it could not be a natural medication because these are
non-patentable. Like insulin, it would be highly profitable to manufacture and
distribute. Mandatory government approvals would be required to stimulate the
use by physicians as a prescription drug. Testing required for these approvals
would have to be enormously expensive to prevent other, unapproved, medications
from becoming competitive.
This is the origin of the classic medical protocol
of "treating the symptoms". By doing this, both the drug company and
the doctor could prosper in business and the patient, while not being cured of
his disease, was sometimes temporarily relieved of some of his symptoms.
Additionally, natural medications that actually
cured disease, would have to be suppressed. The more effective they were, the
more they would need to be suppressed and their proponents jailed as quacks.
After all, it wouldn't do to have some cheap effective natural medication cure
disease in a capital intensive monopoly market specifically designed to treat
symptoms without curing disease. Often the natural substance really did cure
disease. This is why the force of law was used to drive the natural, often
superior, medicines from the market place, to remove the cure word from the
medical vocabulary and to totally undermine the very concept of a free
marketplace in the medical business.
Now it is clear why the cure word is so vigorously
suppressed by law. The FDA has extensive Orwellian regulations that prohibit
the use of the cure word to describe any competing medicine or natural substance.
It is precisely because many natural substances do actually both cure and
prevent disease that this word has become so frightening to the drug and
orthodox medical community.
The commercial
value of symptoms
After this redesign of drug development policy to
focus on ameliorating symptoms rather than curing disease, it became necessary
to reinvent the way drugs were marketed. This was done in 1949 in the midst of
a major epidemic of insulin resistant diabetes.
In 1949, the US medical community reclassified the
symptoms of diabetes, [10] along with many other disease symptoms, into
diseases in their own right. With this reclassification as the new basis for
diagnosis, competing medical specialty groups quickly seized upon related
groups of symptoms as their own proprietary symptom set. Thus the heart
specialist, endocrinologist, allergist, kidney specialist, and many others
started to treat the symptoms for which they felt responsible. As the
underlying cause of the disease was widely ignored, all focus on actually
curing anything was completely lost. By this new focus on treating symptoms,
instead of curing disease, disease was now allowed to run rampant without any
effective check on its progress.
While not a very smart idea from the patients
viewpoint, it did succeed in making the American medical community amongst the
wealthiest in the world because of the continuing high volume of repeat
business that it promoted
Heart failure for example, which had previously been
understood to often be but a symptom of diabetes, now became a disease not
directly connected to diabetes. It became fashionable to think that diabetes
"increased cardio-vascular risk." The causal role of a failed
blood sugar control system in heart failure became obscured. Consistent with
the new medical paradigm, none of the treatments offered by the heart
specialist actually cures, or is even intended to cure, their proprietary
disease. For example, the three year survival rate for bypass surgery is almost
exactly the same as if no surgery was undertaken. [11]
Today over half of the people in America suffer from
one or more symptoms of this disease. In its beginnings, it has become well
known to physicians as Type II Diabetes, Insulin Resistant Diabetes, Insulin
Resistance, Adult Onset Diabetes, or more rarely Hyperinsulinemia. According to
the American Heart Association, almost 50% of Americans suffer from one or more
symptoms of this disease. One third of our population is morbidly obese. Half
of our population is overweight. Type II Diabetes, also called Adult Onset
Diabetes, now appears routinely in six year old children
Many of our degenerative diseases can be traced to a
massive failure of our endocrine system that was well known to the physicians
of the 1930's as Insulin Resistant Diabetes. This basic underlying disorder is
known to be a derangement of the blood sugar control system by badly engineered
fats and oils. It is
exacerbated and complicated by the widespread lack of other essential nutrition
that the body needs to cope with the metabolic consequences of these poisons.
All fats and oils are not equal. Some are healthy
and beneficial; many, commonly available in the supermarket, are poisonous. The
health distinction is not between saturated and unsaturated, as the fats and
oils industry would have us believe. Many saturated oils and fats are highly
beneficial; many unsaturated oils are highly poisonous. The important health distinction is between natural and engineered.
There exists great dishonesty in advertising in the fats and oils industry.
It is aimed at creating a market for cheap junk oils such as soy, cottonseed
and rape seed oil. With an informed and aware public these oils would have no
market at all and the US, and indeed the world, would have far less diabetes.
Epidemiological
Life style link
As early as 1901, efforts had been made to
manufacture and sell food products by the use of automated factory machinery
because of the immense potential profits that were possible. Most of the early
efforts failed because people were inherently suspicious of food that wasn't
farm fresh and because the technology was poor. As long as people were
prosperous, suspicious food products made little headway. Crisco, [12] the
artificial shortening, was once given away free in 2 1/2 lb cans in an
unsuccessful effort to influence the US wives to trust and buy the product in
preference to lard.
Margarine was introduced and was bitterly opposed by
the dairy states. With the advent of the depression of the 1930's, margarine,
Crisco and a host of other refined and hydrogenated products began to make
significant penetration into the US food markets. Support for dairy opposition
to margarine faded during WW II because there wasn't enough butter for both the
civilian population and the needs of the military. [13] At this point, the
dairy industry having lost much support, simply accepted a diluted market share
and concentrated on supplying the military.
Flax oils and fish oils, which were common in the
stores and considered a dietary staple before the American population became
diseased, have disappeared from the shelf. The last supplier of flax oil to the
major distribution chains was Archer Daniel's Midland and they stopped
producing and supplying the product in 1950.
More recently, one of the most important of the
remaining genuinely beneficial fats was subjected to a massive media
disinformation campaign that portrayed it as a saturated fat that causes heart
failure. As a result, it has virtually disappeared from the supermarket
shelves. Thus was coconut oil removed from the food chain and replaced with soy
oil, cottonseed oil and rape seed oil. [14] Our parents would never have
swapped a fine healthy oil like coconut oil for these cheap junk oils. It was
shortly after this successful media blitz that the US populace lost its war on
fat. For many years coconut oil had been one of our most effective dietary
weight control agents.
The history of the engineered adulteration of our
once clean food supply exactly parallels the rise of the epidemic of diabetes
and hyperinsulinemia now sweeping the US as well as much of the rest of the
world.
The second step to a cure for this disease epidemic
is to stop believing the lie that our food supply is safe and nutritious.
Nature of the
disease
Diabetes is classically diagnosed as a failure of
the body to properly metabolize carbohydrates. Its defining symptom is a high
blood glucose level. Type 1 Diabetes results from insufficient insulin
production by the pancreas. Type 2 Diabetes results from ineffective insulin.
In both types, the blood glucose level remains elevated. Neither
insufficient insulin nor ineffective insulin can limit post prandial (after
eating) blood sugar to the normal range. In established cases of Type 2 Diabetes,
these elevated blood sugar levels are often preceded by and accompanied by
chronically elevated insulin levels and by serious distortions of other
endocrine hormonal markers.
The ineffective insulin is no different from
effective insulin. Its ineffectiveness lies in the failure of our cell
population to respond to it. It is not the result of any biochemical defect in
the insulin itself. Therefore, it is appropriate to note that this disease
is a disease that affects almost every cell in the seventy trillion or so cells
of our body. All of these cells are dependent upon the food that we eat for the
raw materials that they need for self repair and maintenance.
The classification of diabetes as a failure to
metabolize carbohydrates is a traditional classification that originated in the
early 19th century when little was known about metabolic diseases or about
metabolic processes. [15] Today, with our increased knowledge of metabolic
processes, it would appear quite appropriate to define Type 2 Diabetes more
fundamentally as a failure of the body to properly metabolize fats and oils.
This failure results in a loss of effectiveness of insulin and in the
consequent failure to metabolize carbohydrates. Unfortunately, much medical
insight into this matter, except at the research level, remains hampered by its
19th century legacy.
Thus Type II Diabetes and its early hyperinsulinemic
symptoms are whole body symptoms of this basic cellular failure to properly
metabolize glucose. Each cell of our body, for reasons which are becoming
clearer, find themselves unable to transport glucose from the blood stream to
their interior. The glucose then either remains in the blood stream, is stored
as body fat or as glycogen, or is otherwise disposed of in urine.
It appears that when insulin binds to a cell
membrane receptor, it initiates a complex cascade of biochemical reactions
inside the cell. This causes a class of glucose transporters known as GLUT 4
molecules to leave their parking area inside the cell and travel to the inside
surface of the plasma cell membrane. When in the membrane, they migrate to
special areas of the membrane called caveolae areas. [16] There, by another
series of biochemical reactions, they identify and hook up with glucose
molecules and transport them into the interior of the cell by a process called
endocytosis. Within the cells interior, this glucose is then burned as fuel by
the mitochondria to produce energy to power cellular activity.
Thus these GLUT 4 transporters lower glucose in the
blood stream by transporting it out of the bloodstream into all of our bodily
cells.
Many of the molecules involved in these glucose and
insulin mediated pathways are lipids, that is they are fatty acids. A healthy
plasma cell membrane, now known to be an active player in the glucose scenario,
contains a complement of cis type w=3 unsaturated fatty acids. [17] This makes
the membrane relatively fluid and slippery. When these cis fatty acids are
chronically unavailable because of our diet, trans fatty acids and short and
medium chain saturated fatty acids are substituted in the cell membrane. These
substitutions make the cellular membrane stiffer and more sticky and inhibit
the glucose transport mechanism. [18]
Thus, in the absence of sufficient cis omega 3 fatty
acids in our diet, these fatty acid substitutions take place, the mobility of
the GLUT 4 transporters is diminished, the interior biochemistry of the cell is
changed and glucose remains elevated in the bloodstream.
Elsewhere in the body, the pancreas secretes excess
insulin, the liver manufactures fat from the excess sugar, the adipose cells
store excess fat, the body goes into a high urinary mode, insufficient cellular
energy is available for bodily activity and the entire endocrine system becomes
distorted. Eventually pancreatic failure occurs, body weight plummets and a
diabetic crisis is precipitated.
Although there remains much work to be done to fully
elucidate all of the steps in all of these pathways, this clearly marks the
beginning of a biochemical explanation for the known epidemiological
relationship between cheap engineered dietary fats and oils and the onset of
Type 2 Diabetes.
Orthodox medical
treatment
After the diagnosis of diabetes, modern orthodox
medical treatment consists of either oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin.
In 1955, oral hypoglycemic drugs were introduced.
Currently available oral hypoglycemic agents fall into five classifications
according to their biophysical mode of action. [19] These classes are:
Biguanides Glucosidase inhibitors Meglitinides
Sulfonylureas Thiazolidinediones
The biguanides lower blood sugar in three ways. They
inhibit the normal release, by the liver, of its glucose stores, they interfere
with intestinal absorption of glucose from ingested carbohydrates and they are
said to increase peripheral uptake of glucose.
The glucosidase inhibitors are designed to inhibit
the amylase enzymes produced by our pancreas and which are essential to the
digestion of carbohydrates. The theory is that if the digestion of
carbohydrates is inhibited the blood sugar cannot be elevated.
The meglitinides are designed to stimulate the
pancreas to produce insulin in a patient that likely already has an elevated
level of insulin in their bloodstream. Only rarely does the doctor even measure
insulin levels. This drug is frequently prescribed without any knowledge of
preexisting insulin levels. The fact that elevated insulin levels are almost as
damaging as elevated glucose levels is widely ignored.
The sulfonylureas are another pancreatic stimulant
class designed to stimulate the production of insulin. Serum insulin
determinations are rarely made by the doctor before prescribing this drug. This
drug is often prescribed for type II diabetics, many of whom already have
elevated ineffective insulin. These drugs are notorious for causing
hypoglycemia as a side effect.
The thiazolidinediones are famous for causing liver
cancer. One of them, Rezulin, was approved in the USA through devious political
infighting but failed to get approval in England because it was known to cause
liver cancer. The first
doctor that had responsibility to approve it at the FDA refused to do so. It
was only after he was replaced by a more compliant official that Rezulin gained
approval by the FDA. It went on to kill well over 100 diabetes patients and
cripple many others before the fight to get it off the market was finally won.
Rezulin was designed to stimulate the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream by
the peripheral cells and to inhibit the normal secretion of glucose by the
liver. The politics of why this drug ever came to market and then remained in
the market for such an unexplainable length of time with regulatory agency
approval is not clear. [20] As of April 2000 law suits commenced to clarify
this situation [21]
Today insulin is prescribed for both the Type I and
Type II diabetics. Injectable insulin substitutes for the insulin that the body
no longer produces. Of course, this treatment, while necessary to preserving
life for the Type I diabetic, is highly questionable when applied to the Type
II diabetic.
It is important to note that neither insulin nor any
of these oral hypoglycemic agents exert any curative action whatsoever on any
type of diabetes. None of these medical strategies are designed to normalize
the cellular uptake of glucose by the cells that need it to power their
activity.
The prognosis with this orthodox treatment is
increasing disability and early death from heart or kidney failure or the
failure of some other vital organ.
The third step to a cure for this disease is to
become informed and to apply an alternative methodology that is soundly based
upon good science.
Alternative
medical treatment
Effective alternative treatment that directly leads
to a cure is available today for some Type I and for many Type II diabetics.
About 5% of the diabetic population suffers from Type I diabetes; the remaining
95% suffer from Type II diabetes.[22]
Gestational diabetes is simply ordinary diabetes contracted by a woman who is
pregnant.
For the Type I diabetic an alternative methodology
for the treatment of Type I Diabetes was the subject of intensive research in
the early 1990's with several papers presented in the scientific journals. This
was done in modern hospitals in Madras, India and subjected to rigorous
double-blind studies to prove its efficacy.[23] The protocol operated to
restore normal pancreatic beta cell function so the pancreas could again
produce insulin as it should. This approach was, apparently, demonstrated to be
capable of restoring pancreatic beta cell function where it had been lost. A
major complication lies in whether the antigens that originally led to the
autoimmune destruction of these beta cells have disappeared from or remain in
the body. If they remain, a cure is less likely; if they have disappeared, the
cure is more likely.
This early work in Madras India has been continued
in a number of laboratories throughout the world and much of it has been
published in scientific journals
If a patent search is conducted to discover research
work done on type I diabetes that never seems to make it to the marketplace, a
number of patents on herbal remedies will be found. These patents typically
make strong claims about the regeneration of pancreatic beta cells and the
restoring of them to normal function. In particular, patent number 5,886,029
entitled "Method and composition for treatment of diabetes" claims to
restore pancreatic beta cell function by regenerating the pancreatic beta
cells. This particular patent states in part:
The unique combination of components in the
medicinal composition leads to a regeneration of the pancreas cells which then
start producing insulin on their own. Since the composition restores normal
pancreatic function, treatment can be discontinued after between four and
twelve months.
For reasons which, while understandable, are not at
all acceptable, this promising line of research never matured and today can be
found only in the archives of a few obscure scientific journals and in the
patent office. Since absolutely no financial incentive exists to cure type I
diabetes, this methodology is not likely to reappear any time soon and
certainly not in the American orthodox medical community.
The goal of any effective alternative program is to
repair and restore the body's own blood sugar control mechanism. It is the
malfunctioning of this mechanism that, over time, directly causes all of the
many debilitating symptoms that make orthodox treatment so financially
rewarding for the diabetes industry. For Type II Diabetes, the steps in the
program are: [24]
Repair the faulty blood sugar control system. This
is done simply by substituting clean healthy beneficial fats and oils in the
diet for the pristine looking but toxic trans-isomer mix found in attractive
plastic containers on room temperature supermarket shelves. Consume only flax oil, fish oil and
occasionally cod liver oil until blood sugar starts to stabilize. Then add
back healthy oils such as butter, coconut
oil, olive oil and clean animal fat.
Read labels; refuse to consume cheap junk oils when they appear in processed
food or on restaurant menus. Diabetics are chronically short of vitamins and
minerals; they need to add a good quality broad spectrum supplement to the
diet.
Control blood sugar manually during the recovery
cycle. Under medical supervision, gradually discontinue all oral hypoglycemic
agents along with any additional drugs given to counteract their side effects. Develop
natural blood sugar control by the use of glycaemic tables, by consuming
frequent small meals, by the use of fiber, by regular post prandial exercise,
and by a complete avoidance of all sugars along with the judicious use of only
non-toxic sweeteners [25]. Avoid alcohol until blood sugar stabilizes in the
normal range. Avoid caffeine as well as other stimulants; they tend to trigger
sugar release by the liver. Keep score by using a pin prick type glucose
meter. Keep track of everything you do with a medical diary.
Restore a proper balance of healthy fats and oils
when the blood sugar controller again works Permanently remove from the diet
all cheap toxic junk fats and oils and the processed and restaurant foods that
contain them. When the blood sugar controller again starts to work
correctly, gradually introduce additional healthy foods to the diet. Test the
effect of these added foods by monitoring blood sugar levels with the pin prick
type blood sugar monitor. Be sure to include the results of these tests in your
diary also.
Continue the program until normal insulin values are
also restored after blood sugar levels begin to stabilize in the normal region.
Once blood sugar levels fall into the normal range the pancreas will gradually
stop over producing insulin. This process will typically take a little longer
and can be tested by having your physician send a sample of your blood to a lab
for a serum insulin determination. A good idea is to wait a couple of months
after blood sugar control is restored and then have your physician check your
insulin level. It's nice to have blood sugar in the normal range; it's even
nicer to have this accomplished without excess insulin in the bloodstream.
Separately repair the collateral damage done by the
disease. Vascular problems caused by a chronically elevated glucose level will
normally reverse themselves without conscious effort. The effects of
retinopathy and of peripheral neuropathy, for example, will usually self
repair. However when the fine capillaries in the basement membranes of the
kidneys begin to leak due to chronic high blood glucose, the kidneys compensate
by laying down scar tissue to prevent the leakage. This scar tissue remains
even after the diabetes is cured and is the reason why the kidney damage is not
believed to self repair.
A word of warning: when retinopathy develops a
temptation will exist to have the damage repaired by laser surgery. This laser
technique stops the retinal bleeding by creating scar tissue where the leaks
have developed. This scar tissue will prevent normal healing of the fine
capillaries in the eye when the diabetes is reversed. By reversing the diabetes
instead of opting for laser surgery, there is an excellent chance that the eye
will heal completely. However if laser surgery is done, this healing will always
be complicated by the scar tissue left by the laser.
The arterial and vascular damage done by years of
elevated sugar and insulin and by the proliferation of systemic candida will
slowly reverse due to improved diet. However, it takes many years to clean out
the arteries by this form of oral chelation. Arterial damage can be reversed
much more quickly by using intravenous chelation [26] therapy. What would
normally take many years through diet alone, can often be done in six months
with intravenous therapy. This is reputed to be effective over 80% of the time.
For obvious reasons, don't expect your doctor to approve of this, particularly
if he is a heart specialist.
The prognosis is usually swift recovery from the
disease and restoration of normal health and energy levels in a few months to a
year or more. The length of time that it takes to effect a cure depends upon
how long the disease was allowed to develop. For those who quickly work to
reverse the disease after early discovery, the time is usually a few months or
less. For those who have had the disease for many years, this recovery time may
lengthen to a year or more. Thus, there is good reason to get busy reversing
this disease as soon as it becomes clearly identified.
By the time you get to this point in this article,
and, if we've done a good job of explaining our diabetes epidemic, you should
know what causes it, what orthodox medical treatment is all about and why
diabetes has become a disgrace both in the US and world wide. Of even greater
importance, you have become acquainted with a self help program that has
demonstrated great potential to actually cure this disease.

Last time I'll mention this: When you write something in all italics on the web, your readership will go down. Reason: Italics are deuced difficult to read off a computer monitor.
Next - underlined text is reserved for hyperlinks. If you want to make a point on a monitor - bold the text instead.
You have SUPERB information - why destroy your readership?
Try my suggestions and split test - you'll be surprised.
