Introducing myself to you, diabetic info

[Guest guest]

Dear Folks,

 

I am THRILLED to be coming on board as the new co-moderator of this group! The very first change I made was to open it up to questions and feedback from all of you, and I am excited to see that happening already. It is my goal that this group become one of the most exciting, vital groups in . Some of you have requested information on what I have learned and done to pretty much totally control my Type II Diabetes, subject to my maintaining a healthy and sensible eating program. Plus I take no medications whatsoever, despite having been told many times that I would be on meds the rest of my life. I don't work that way.

 

I’ve been in the herbal health field most of my life, and am constantly in awe of what the body can do when given the raw materials it needs to build and cleanse itself. I’ve worked with many diabetics, and they've had great success, but admit I still wasn’t following my own advice until I joined their ranks. My conquering of hypertension was a pleasant bonus, too!

 

That day I learned my fasting blood sugar was over 400 was the LAST time it ever did that. For 3 days it was in the 200’s, then dropped in the 100’s, and occasionally into the 90’s. I was taking a very small amount of medication the first 4 months, but I knew exactly what to do and why. I have a most unusual vested interest here: my mother died a horrible death from diabetic complications and my 31 year old daughter was showing symptoms of heading down the same road. I had to prove that all my theories would work ON MYSELF before I could help others.

 

First thing, though, I knew that responsibility for this rested solely and squarely on ME – this wasn’t some fluke of fate. It was many years of eating the WRONG FOODS, NOT EXERCISING ENOUGH, following diets that DON'T WORK, and becoming OBESE that produced this. So only I could correct it.

 

My doctor has shared with me that almost all of his diabetic patients will NOT take responsibility for themselves and what they put into their mouths. As a result, they must depend on steadily increasing amounts of medications, which overtax the pancreas, until it finally gives up and they go on insulin.

 

For myself, all the complications of diabetes unchecked start to kick in…and I had a bunch of them, myself, including neuropathy in my feet, a mild stroke, and a silent heart attack. Last March I also had to undergo catheterization, angioplasty, and a stent implant. I was definitely going down hill.

 

But things have CHANGED!!!My blood lipid profile is dramatically improved, the neuropathy in my feet is only a fraction of what it was, I’ve lost over 80 pounds, I haven’t taken medications AT ALL after the first 4 months, and my fasting blood sugars are usually in the 90’s – once in a while in the low 100’s. These are astonishing figures. But I knew they would reflect my commitment to reversing what had put me here. I believe totally in our body’s ability to heal itself. I also don’t put much faith in the medical profession, though we do need them in times of emergency and for diagnosis. I’ve learned the hard way that most doctors do NOT really know that much about non-medicinal control of diabetes, nor do their diabetes clinics in hospitals, and the worst offender I’ve found is the American Diabetes Association. Their carbohydrate recommendations are far too high, in my opinion. I’ve also used as a bedrock for my conquering of the disease the work of Diana Schwarzbein, MD, and recommend that as a first step to taking personal control of your disease you get, read, and thoroughly study and understand her groundbreaking book, “The Schwarzbein Principle”. Here’s a link to learn more about it:

Next, I believe in utilizing natural supplements to give our bodies what they are lacking. I’ve found that, as good as our western herbs and supplements may be, the ancient Ayurvedic ones seem to work even better.

 

In any event, I have an extensive online program laid out to educate diabetics, using primarily references from Medical Doctors so they can in turn enlighten THEIR doctors. It’s a lot to read, so I will be putting it on this forum slowly over the next few months.

 

Mastery over diabetes, to me, is a process of learning how to control your carb intake, mild exercise on a regular basis, using wonderful supplements such as our Gourdin, Mukta Vati, Turmeric, or Shilajit, totally avoiding Aspartame, diet sodas, as well as ALL sodas, avoiding junk food, living as unpolluted a life as possible as regards air and water, de-stressing your life or taking natural stress relievers, loving yourself, and committing to an easy, step by step program to overcoming diabetes and reversing its horrible side effects.

 

I’ve found some things that REALLY WORK, and though I am absolutely not a medical person, and have zero medical training, I do come from a position of intelligently learning how my body operates and being its friend, at long last, instead of its enemy.

 

I also believe ANYBODY can learn and do these things, easily, but with a commitment to reverse the progress of this disease.

 

The information I have amassed over a long period of time is quite extensive, and will be given to all of you in measured doses. This is life saving data, culled from dozens of alternative healing sources. So I ask this: if you know someone (and all of you do) with a health problem, be it diabetes, obesity, heart, hypertension, vascular, neuropathy, or just about any other organic illness, PLEASE ask them to join us RIGHT NOW so they can be in on the beginning of this series of emails. If they're not a member yet, just send them to Groups.com to join. If they ARE a member of , just send them this link so they can join immediately: nature cure- .

 

Also, if you go to a health food store, chiropractor, or even (gasp!) DOCTOR who may be interested in this information or becoming a distributor of our Ayurvedic products, have them join up as well, or contact me directly for details on how they can supply their customers and patients. I am the North American Distribution Coordinator for some of the best Ayurvedic remedies on earth. Have them email me directly at vedicnectar

 

Let's have as many people as we can getting in on this info from the start! I welcome your thoughts, comments, hopes and dreams for what we can accomplish here. It's going to be an exciting, challenging, and transformational year!
