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 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 "" balance --- reducing acidity and
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.
