Diabetes II
Diabetes II is so prevalent now. Why the general population hasn’t opened up to the fact that this is a huge epidemic is startling. Instead of going into the types of diabetes, and what the allopathic medical community will tell you, since that information is readily available all over the web, and since this is Voice of Choices, instead I will give you information we give to our customers that we hope will give you some insight to help yourself or others.
First off, there are so many causes of diabetes II; parasite, virus, toxic conditions, emotional baggage, overworked organs, and a combination of any of the above. Having worked with so many people with diabetes, I have found so many unique differences with each person. I wish there was 1 supplement or one “buried” issue that would help them all – but unfortunately that isn’t the case.
Emotionally, diabetes is often known to alternative health practitioners like myself, as the “poor me” disease. It’s like the person is stuck in an endless pity party. Once these people start to consciously realize this and start to take action to overcome these issues – they can have profound results physically as well as mentally/emotionally. Working with a good therapist, doing Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or digging into Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman, or books like this can help a lot. I have several customers that have taken deep mediation classes and they have been able to eliminate their diabetes all together.
Diet plays a huge part in Diabetes. If you read the book Health and Nutrition Secrets that can save your life, by Dr. Russell Blaylock M.D., who has been a neurosurgeon for the past 25 years, on page 266 he states that “exposing small children to milk before age two is a major cause of juvenile diabetes.” He goes on to explain that several scientific journals have reported this, but there have been NO media announcements to the mothers of the world regarding this fact.
So, obviously staying away from all dairy products would be a good thing. There are so many alternatives now; oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and rice milk, just to name a few. There are also cheeses, ice “cream” products and the like made from these nutritious “milks.” I encourage you to try them all to find the ones you prefer. The coconut milk “ice cream” is my favorite!
Staying away from processed sugars is also important. This is much easier nowadays because there are so many healthy alternatives; stevia, agave nectar, xylitol, erythritol and LoHan (a fruit from China) to name a few. As stated many times before here and in so many other publications – stay away from the artificial sweeteners. In the book Skinny Bitch, by Kim Barnouin & Rory Freedman, they state “The FDA has received more complaints about aspartame, (also know as Equal™ or NutraSweet™) than any other ingredient to date.” And the Splenda™, asulfamine potassium and Saccharin™ are not any better. Just more ways to keep you unhealthy and allow someone else to make money off that fact!
Also stay away from junk and fast food. I know this should be a given, but if you don’t know this for some reason, now you do – stop eating at places that don’t really care about your optimum well being. If you are so busy that you can’t take care of your body properly – then maybe you should re-think what you do each day – and stop to realize that you are worthy of more for yourself!
What you should be eating, more than anything else, is vegetables! This is the main fix for most health issues and especially diabetes. But getting people to do this is incredibly challenging. Dr. Henry Bieler, M.D. in his book Food Is Your Medicine, talks about his successes curing Diabetes II doing just that.
Meanwhile, getting to the source of the problem for each person can be very challenging, but not impossible. With a complete blood panel, some detailed analysis and some accurate muscle testing, many practitioners can get to the core of the problem. We have found that some people really have a liver issue, instead of an actual pancreas issue. That their blood sugar was going up as a reaction to the fact that their liver was not able to process the heavy amount of toxins in their bodies. We also have others that have been terribly deficient in good fats (fish & flax oils, for example), which are very nourishing to the body and help to reduce carbohydrate cravings and these people have had to work to train their body to run on fats, and not insulin. Some actually do have an actually issue with their pancreas and others we have had to work with the lungs or adrenals, because these two control insulin in the body as well. Still others may have to work at flushing out an organism that is causing the problem – and changing the environment internally to not attract more in the future.
In addition, there are some health supplements that can be very effective for some people.
Chromium – the GTF (glucose tolerance factor) chromium is best and actually typically less expensive. There are many body-building products that contain chromium picolinate which is often recommended in many health books. But with further research you will find that this type of chromium can actually make the liver more toxic if taken over a long period of time and also has properties that “heat up” the body, probably to try and burn off the excess toxins it is accumulating.
Cinnamon has been all over the news and magazines the past year or so, as an effective treatment to help lower blood sugar. Many stores sell it in capsules or tablets. You can also just put it on your food as well. Historically cinnamon has been used to kill organisms.
Gymnema has been around for quite awhile and is an herb that is found in India. If you put Gymnema in your mouth, and then try to taste something with sugar, you will find that it is no longer sweet. This is because the Hindu name for Gymnema is “sugar destroyer”. It also has beneficial properties when taken internally. It prevents sugar from being absorbed into the blood stream from deep inside the digestive system.
Another popular herb is Garcinia. Garcinia cambogia is also known as Brindalberry and contains hydroxy citric acid, which is known to inhibit the liver from manufacturing fats and lowering triglycerides in the blood. It is found in many blood sugar balancing formulas.
Another popular ingredient in sugar balancing formulas is Bitter Melon. Also known as Karela or Momordica Charantia is a herb that helps regulate blood sugar levels and is found in herbal blood sugar formulas.
Many people have found benefits from increasing their anti-oxidant levels with various beneficial fruits such as goji/wolfberries, sea buckthorn, and mangosteen. There are also beneficial herbal formulas that have been used for many years by herbalists as well as Ayurvedic formulas and Chinese teas that have helped many of our customers to bring their blood sugar numbers back to normal. Many times helping them to eliminate their drugs or insulin.
Finally I would like to give you a stern and important warning. If you decide to try some different natural products to improve your health and blood sugar issues: 1. make sure you are working with a health professional that will help and support you do so; and 2. take your blood sugar twice as often as you normally do. I worked with a lady many years ago and told her to do this. She didn’t listen to me and when her blood sugar dropped to normal within a week, she ended up taking too much insulin. So pay attention to your body – listen and test what it is telling you so that you can help it return to optimum health.
