TYPE 2 DIABETES
OK, THE AWAKENING CAME YESTERDAY
I have created many web sites,
written articles and made many
Health Improving Presentations.
Over the past 12 years, from extensive
research, personal health situations,
and having helped many with their health situations, I've been aware of
a thing known as DIABETES. A relative suffers from it. But I was
never privy to their pain and suffering.
Yesterday, I had a follow-up visit with my Podiatrist.
But from the images
I saw in the Podiatrist Surgeons Magazine, I was
truly moved. Never had I associated Diabetes with what I learned
about how it affects the FEET. WOW. SCARY !
BUT there are the other concerns too.
Problem is that I never got around to
checking into it. I am now finding out
about this developing-epidemic. Yesterday, at a "follow-up" visit
with my
podiatrist, I picked a magazine from the rack (getting ready to "wait"
for
my time with the podiatrist).
I was absolutely shocked at what I saw (images) and what I read.
Know this: My podiatrist is a surgeon of podiatry.
She is the daughter of my long-time
podiatrist who recently retired.
Yesterdays visit was my second with the young female podiatrist.
She is very good!
I was amazed at the trouble and down-right disgusting
images of devastation
I saw and read about.
Yes, I've begun to
research the subject !
Imagine a medical condition that opens the door to a wide
range of chronic health
problems, leaving you vulnerable to cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure,
stroke, and kidney failure.
The condition is type 2
diabetes, and it currently claims
about 16 million Americans.
That's the combined populations of Colorado, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Connecticut.
Unfortunately, too many doctors respond to patients
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
the only way they know how: they medicate. As a result, as many as six million
type 2 diabetics are taking drugs called thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
that improve insulin sensitivity.
Now a new study shows that this class of drugs may sharply
increase the risk of
pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure.
Most cases of type 2 diabetes are the result of poor diet
and insufficient exercising
habits that catch up with us as we age. Fortunately, the insulin resistance that
triggers type 2 diabetes can often be reversed by modifying the diet and
beginning a regular exercise program.
Because type 2 diabetes increases the risk of so many
health problems, the last thing a
diabetic needs are the potential side effects that come with the use of
any synthetic drug.
It's clear from everything we know that changes in
diet and exercise are
the best medicine foremost type 2 diabetics.
What am I doing getting into this subject?
Particularly, because I know very little about it.
In a number of my sites (have many of them) I mention that
"It is time
for you to begin taking care of your own health". I can only keep
telling you of the importance of you taking action to improve
your health. The rest, YOU MUST DO
!
This web site is created primarily to sort of
"scare" you somewhat and
have YOU research the subject of Diabetes and in Particular about
Type 2 Diabetes.
You may just end up "thanking me" for doing this.
(More follows)
Type 2 Diabetes is out of control --- that's a news
statement ---
and we are now in early 2006. It is out of control in America
and it is the third leading cause of death.
What is causing this epidemic? Diet and lack of
exercise
are the two biggest culprits.
Americans eat too much sugar-saturated food that creates
quick
spikes in blood sugar followed by increased insulin needs.
They do not improve insulin response with daily exercise.
INSULIN RESISTANCE = THE DANGEROUS RESULT
The pancreas, which produces insulin, gets worn out. It
still
produces enough insulin, but the insulin does NOT move the
glucose out of the blood to the cells in the body. The cells
become starved for energy, which is why Americans live in a
yo-yo world of high energy and utter fatigue followed by
more serious health pitfalls.
If ignored, Type 2 diabetes may lead to heart disease,
kidney
failure, nerve damage, blindness and amputations.
5 WAYS YOU CAN AVOID OR REVERSE THE THREAT OF DIABETES FOR LIFE
1 = EAT COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES, FORGET THE POP! Here's
a good
rule of thumb to follow: The longer food takes to chew, the
better it is for you. All processed food and beverages
packed with sugar and salt and will only create
glucose
spikes which you must avoid.
Your ideal diet would be
low in fat and high in slow-digesting, complex carbs
like
legumes, whole grains and most fruits and vegetables.
2 = MOVE IT OR LOSE IT! Regular daily exercise
improves the
ability of your cells to accept insulin which, in turn,
allows them to burn glucose more efficiently.
3 = SUNLIGHT IS YOUR FRIEND! When you take a 20
minute walk
outside, you can get an extra shot of natural insulin which
will help you normalize your blood sugar levels.
(Plus,
natural Vitamin D3, which your body converts from sunlight,
is believed to help lower insulin resistance and reduce
blood pressure.)
4 = LOSE A LITTLE GAIN A LOT! 95% if all diabetics
carry
too much weight and body fat. Which is why doctors
and
health professionals recommend monitoring
your total
percent of body fat.
They recommend no more than
24% body fat for women and no more
than 17% for men.
Lose a little body fat, gain a lot of health for life.
5 = USE
A:
ALKALINE BODY BALANCE
5 = USE B: BEYOND CIRCULATION
Note: Be sure you get the message from the text of the
above websites. It is that important! We'll cover more
that ties-in with it as we continue.
WHEN YOU ALKALIZE, YOU ENERGIZE!
Have you ever wondered why you can eat like a horse and
still feel
run down? Why you can get miles of exercise and not drop that
extra chunky ten to fifteen pounds?
Why most people you know are suffering from some kind
of horrible
imbalance doctors can't fix and they, too, are tired, overweight
and aging before your eyes?
Why, for all our medical breakthroughs, heart disease,
cancer,
obesity and diabetes are skyrocketing?
The answer is simple.
Most people are suffering from ACID OVERLOAD. What?
Here is something to know:
SUPERMARKET FOOD IS ACID-FORMING
Meats, eggs, bread, cheese, chocolate, sugar, rice, milk,
cereal, cookies, crackers are ALL
ACID in nature.
All that food we crave is acid-forming and
over-acidification of
body fluids and tissues is linked to EVERY KNOWN DISEASE
including that dragged-out daily fatigue most of us complain
about and the endless list of digestive disorders.
When your body is overly acidic, you become vulnerable to
germs,
yeast, bacteria, molds, and fungi. These harmful microorganisms
thrive in acidity. Most people today live on over-processed,
over-cooked food.
What is the opposite of acid food? Simply, alkaline.
What is
ALKALINE? Vegetables, fruits, and a few grains and nuts.
We could continue in explanations -- but, I've given you a
Website (above) that covers the subjects thoroughly.
Have you begun to get the real message here?
I was impressed with the horrible results (the images in the
Podiatry Magazines -- and then to begin doing serious work
and research on the Diabetes 2 subject. I've given some
worthwhile information in the text of this site so far.
It's getting to the point that we recognize that "all
disease
is caused by autotoxication (self-poisoning) due to acid
accumulation in the body".
In the book = "Alkalize or Die" a statement was made that
---
"The countless names of illnesses do not matter. What does
matter is that they all come from the same root cause:
TOO MUCH ACID IN THE BODY"
You are being Killed by EXCESS ACID
When we are born, the body pH is balanced --- that's good.
But,-- as days and time pass us by, each of the body cells
(now estimated at over 100 trillion cells --- is re-placing the old cells that have
become damaged or have
died already.
Your cells burn nutrients as fuel. What's left
--- is then
excreted as a highly acidic waste product. This acid waste
--- plus additional acid that has entered your body through
the environment --- builds up inside your body,
and your body's pH balance begins to
change --
from Alkaline to Acid.
It's then that all lot goes berserk!
That's because too much acid ---
* In your arteries --- eats away at their linings and give
plaque
a foothold --- leaving you defenseless against cardiovascular
problems or brain-destroying illnesses.
* In your joints --- erodes vital cartilage and leaves
joints
painfully inflamed.
* In skin cells --- erodes premature wrinkling --- dry,
brittle
nails and dull and lifeless hair!
* Attacks your lungs, liver, pancreas and every other vital
organ
in your body, aging them before their time and leaving you
vulnerable to a major health nightmare down the road.
* Wears down muscle mass --- and causes premature aging.
* In your bloodstream --- kills your body's defenses ---
leaving
you with a compromised immune system, vulnerable
to infection
and worse.
* In your body tissues --- drains the storehouse in your
bones ---
and causes crippling bone loss.
* Slows Human Growth Hormone secretion --- zaps your sex
drive ---
and makes it difficult to get a restful night's sleep.
* Damages delicate enzymes that are essential for fighting
germs
--- properly digesting foods -- and even breathing!
How's that for just a beginning ?
Many world-renowned, peer-reviewed medical journals and
scientists
have established that an improper pH balance --- too much acid in
your body --- leaves you vulnerable to a host of nightmarish
health problems ---
BREAK THE DEADLY ACID CYCLE NOW!
Here is how high acidity kills ---
And how restoring a healthy
"
increasing alkalinity --- can help you avoid premature aging --- uncontrollable
blood pressure --- digestion problems --- fatigue --- declining
mental functioning and more ...
1 = At birth, your body's pH is at optimum
metabolic health --- slightly alkaline and
nearly perfect! Cells in your skin, eyes, bones, muscles, heart and every
other organ are clean, clear and brimming with vitality.
2 = Every second of every day since then,
each one of the over 100 trillion cells
in your body has been busy creating new cells to replace old ones that
are damaged or dying.
To perform this cleansing miracle inside
your body, your cells burn nutrients
as fuel. What's left is then excreted as a highly acidic
waste product.
3 = Over many years, this acid waste and
other acids that have entered your body,
build up (make your pH balance highly acidic) begin eroding and poisoning
healthy cells in your joints, muscles, brain, heart and
other organs.
4 = Infusing your body with alkalizing
minerals neutralizes acid, returning your
cells to their normal, healthy function --- energizing you and protecting
you from many of the health problems associated with aging!
HIGH ALKALINE = HEALTH AND LIFE
HIGH ACIDITY = SICKNESS AND DEATH
The letters pH mean "potential of Hydrogen"
and
simply measure how acidic or alkaline your body
is on a scale of 0 to 14.
A low pH reading of less than 7 means you
are
too acidic (bad). A high pH reading of more
than 7 means your body is more alkaline (good).
A pH of 7 is neutral.
There is danger at 5.75 and it's good at 7.5.

(YES --- We will continue the past approach)
It has helped thousands of health sufferers during the years.
