HOW DIABETICS CAN LIVE TO BE 100 YEAR OLD

As a medicinal chemist, I'm often asked, " How can I live to be a 100 years old? "

My answer is simple, " Learn to control blood sugar and insulin. "

The biggest threat to longevity is high blood sugar and insulin. Known as type

II diabetes - or more accurately insulin resistance - it has become a nationwide

epidemic that steals 11 to 20 years from a person's lifespan. It is one of the

main culprits behind depression, obesity, heart disease and even cancer.

Understanding two simple facts about the pandemic killer may help you avoid it -

and live to be 100 years old rather than 65 or 70!

Fact #1: Anti-Diabetic Drugs like Avandia and Actos are Deadly

To curb the threat, family physicians are madly prescribing Avandia and Actos in

hopes of reversing type II diabetes - total sales have reached over $4 billion

annually. Unknown to most, Avandia users have a whopping 30-40% increased risk

of heart attack and other heart-related adverse events (heart failure) compared

to patients treated with placebo.[1] This side-effect is partly due to the drugs

ability to lower " hemoglobin. "

Hemoglobin is used by the body to transport oxygen throughout the entire 100,000

miles of adult veins, arteries, and capillaries. Without it, a condition known

as " ischemia " sets in. This is a fancy term for " suffocation. " Clinically, heart

attack or heart failure can result from the lack of oxygen.

Actos belongs to the same class of medicine as Avandia - glitazones. Not

surprisingly, it carries the same risks. Health Canada sounded the alarm as

early as 2001! But the danger is being hidden from the American public.

Commenting on the unannounced danger, the U.S. Congress stated that the, " FDA's

apparently callous disregard for the safety of diabetics taking Avandia is very

reminiscent of the Agency's failure to move on Vioxx when substantial safety

signals first became known. Like Vioxx, Avandia may have unnecessarily risked

the lives of tens of thousands of Americans. " [2]

Fact #2: Natural Medicine Can Safely Reverse Insulin Resistance

In the process of designing anti-diabetic drugs, Big Pharma surveyed a myriad of

natural products to find a " lead compound " that would show them how best to

design a synthetic drug. Corosolic acid from the banaba leaf was among the most

potent.[3]

Corosolic acid successfully reverses insulin resistance as seen by lowered blood

levels of insulin and glucose among users. Rather than promote the natural

medicine to the millions who suffer from insulin resistance, Big Pharma has been

working rigorously to make a synthetic copycat - so they can monopolize it. They

have failed miserably. Fortunately, the natural source is readily available as

" banaba leaf " at local health food stores.

Banaba leaf works at the molecular level by fine-tuning the damaged insulin

receptor - the cause of insulin resistance. This benefit rests in its ability to

selectively initiate a chemical reaction known as " phosphorylation " at the

receptor site. In effect, what is " jammed, " becomes un-jammed thanks to the

banaba leaf. Akin to a key being inserted into a lock, insulin is free to

interact with the receptor, thereby triggering the cell to open the doors for

blood sugar.

Users of Banaba leaf not only avoid dangerous prescriptions while increasing

insulin sensitivity, but they also melt fat and build muscle in the process.

This beneficial effect comes from the subsequent balancing of hormones that

occurs once blood levels of insulin and glucose are normalized. Men rid their

body of excess estrogen and boost testosterone and vice-versa for women. Of

course, lifestyle habits such as exercise and minimizing sugar while increasing

healthy fat and protein consumption are pre-requisites to the success of banaba

leaf.

Closing

Among those populations who live the longest, they thrive courtesy of being

ultra sensitive to insulin - naturally. And conversely, those who die the

youngest from obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are grossly

insensitive to it courtesy of type II diabetes. Or they are " following doctor's

orders " and swallowing prescription drug like Avandia or Actos.

Any clue if this can help hypoglycemia which is essentially the

opposite of diabetes

Virgil, I'm not Internet savy enough. Can you tell me why my

bloodsugars stay around 10ml. My diet hasn't changed, my weight

hasn't changed (to heavy). I made a mistake with christmas to take to

many units Insulin so it caused insuline resistance for a while. Now

I moved the tredmill in front of the t.v. and use it frequently,

building a basic stamina before I go to the higher levels.

I use: metformine 800 twice a day; avandia 4 mg twice a day. I know

this combo is prohibited in some parts of Europe. My doctor gave me a

lecture about internet crap when I spoke about my Avandia concerns

wich made me loose my trust in her.

I also take crestor, asperine, calsium/magnesium, fish oil and

primrose oil. All once a day except the calsium/magnesium. I take

that twice a day.

I'm a diabetic for almost 25 years now. No complications (knock on

wood) and in sometimes I have the periodes of the high bloodsugars.

Advise per privat mail is also very welcome.
