Guest guest Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Health Ranger Report #85: Interview with Dr. Gabriel Cousens on reversing diabetes An interview with Dr. Gabriel Cousens, author of " There is a cure for diabetes, " talking about how to prevent and heal diabetes. _ Click here to listen now (MP3)._ (http://www.naturalnews.com/podcasts/Interview-Dr-Gabriel-Cousens.mp3) === Treating diabetes with food _http://www.therealfoodchannel.com/videos/treating_diabetes_with_food.html_ (http://www.therealfoodchannel.com/videos/treating_diabetes_with_food.html) === _The Diabesity Epidemic Part III: Treating the REAL Causes Instead of the Symptoms_ (http://analyticapproach.com/cgi-bin/et.cgi?nc=1255924875 & li=26054 & rk=49.77.55 & r\ i=10525 & ei=206.215918) There is one driving factor that contributes, above all else, to the epidemic of _diabesity_ (http://analyticapproach.com/cgi-bin/et.cgi?nc=1255924875 & li=26055 & rk=49.77.55 & r\ i=10525 & ei=206.215918) and other chronic illnesses we see today. By addressing this one problem you may reverse many of your health problems, even if you don't do anything else. In today's blog, the last in my three-part series on diabesity, I will tell you what that problem is and how you can effectively treat it. Here's a hint: You won't find the solution in a pill bottle ... Remember, in the _last week's blog on diabesity_ (http://analyticapproach.com/cgi-bin/et.cgi?nc=1255924875 & li=26056 & rk=49.77.55 & r\ i=10525 & ei=206.215918) , we learned what doesn't work to treat the condition -- namely conventional, outdated approaches to medicine that focus on treating symptoms with medications instead of addressing the underlying causes of illness. Now that we know what doesn't work, I want to spend some time in this week's blog explaining what DOES work. If we want to effectively treat this epidemic of diabesity, we must start focusing on the underlying causes that are driving these problems in the first place. You see, ALL of these phenomenon we see in diabesity are the result of the same thing: Imbalances in the seven underlying key systems in your body that are at the root of all health and illness. Today you will learn what those seven systems are and how you can use this exciting new field of medical research and practice known as _Functional medicine_ (http://analyticapproach.com/cgi-bin/et.cgi?nc=1255924875 & li=26057 & rk=49.77.55 & r\ i=10525 & ei=206.215918) to help you prevent and even reverse Diabesity. Introducing the 7 Keys In the last 20 years an emerging body of scientific knowledge points to a number of factors that are the true drivers of diabesity and most chronic disease. While genetic predisposition may play a role in diabesity, what we now know is that it is the ways in which your lifestyle and environment wash over your genes to create changes in your moment to moment biological functioning that leads to health or disease. These changes in gene expression or function are what result in the symptoms we see in diabetes. But your symptoms -- your high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and the rest -- are NOT the cause of _diabesity_ (http://analyticapproach.com/cgi-bin/et.cgi?nc=1255924875 & li=26058 & rk=49.77.55 & r\ i=10525 & ei=206.215918) . They are simply clues to help us find the real underlying causes. The fundamental causes of diabesity are imbalances in key systems of the body that results in insulin resistance, problems with blood sugar control, and all the other complications and associated problems. There are seven fundamental systems in your body. These keys form the basis of Functional medicine. I also call them the _seven keys to UltraWellness_ (http://analyticapproach.com/cgi-bin/et.cgi?nc=1255924875 & li=26059 & rk=49.77.55 & r\ i=10525 & ei=206. 215918) . Understanding these basic systems, how they get out of balance, and how to get them back in balance, allows us to create a personalized medicine program for each person. This is the medicine of the future. To heal from diabesity, or overcome any of the other chronic illnesses you suffer from, you must rebalance the 7 key systems in your body that are at the root of health and illness. They are: optimize nutrition, balance your hormones, cool off inflammation, fix your digestion, enhance detoxification, boost energy metabolism, and calm your mind. Imbalances in these underlying key systems are at the heart of all chronic illness, including diabesity. Today I want to focus on one of the most important keys -- Key #1: Optimize Nutrition -- and explain how it contributes to diabesity. ***************IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT*************** Nutrition is just one of the seven keys to preventing and reversing diabesity. I'll be exploring the other six during a special webinar in which you'll discover how to overcome diabesity and reclaim a normal life. My tech team tells me that only 500 viewers can watch at once, so if it's something that interests you-whether you are overweight, have been diagnosed with diabetes or are worried about developing it -- _you may want to reserve your spot now before all of the spots are filled_ (http://analyticapproach.com/cgi-bin/et.cgi?nc=1255924875 & li=26060 & rk=49.77.55 & r\ i=10525 & ei=206.215918) . **************************************************** Key #1: Optimize Nutrition The main driving factor of our diabesity epidemic is our nutrient-poor, calorie-rich diet. It has led to a nation of overfed but undernourished people. In fact, there are so few nutrients in our diet that we now have an epidemic of nutritional deficiencies that promote the development of diabetes in including vitamin D, magnesium, chromium, zinc, and antioxidant deficiencies. The solution is simple. Whole, real, fresh food that you have to cook is the most potent medicine to prevent, reverse and treat diabesity. First let's look at some of the major dietary shifts that have driven the diabesity epidemic, and then we will explore the exciting new science of _nutrigenomics_ (http://analyticapproach.com/cgi-bin/et.cgi?nc=1255924875 & li=26061 & rk=49.77.55 & r\ i=10525 & ei=206.215918) which promises to help us fix the problem for good. The #1 dietary shift that leads to diabesity is sugar in all its forms. The average American today eats 150-180 pounds of sugar per year. That's over half a pound of sugar a day! And I'm not eating that much, so that means some of you are eating a lot more! We evolved eating 22 teaspoons of sugar per year. So we are no longer eating in harmony with our genes. In the last 30 years our sugar calories increasingly come from high-fructose corn syrup. This mostly in the form of liquid calories from sodas, soft drinks, sweetened beverages. In fact, Dr. Walter Willett from the Harvard School Public Health stated at a recent White House meeting on Prevention and Wellness at which I also spoke, that the two most important factors driving our obesity epidemic are sugar-sweetened drinks and the number of hours of television watched per day. These correlate more with obesity than any other factors in the research. We need to stop eating (and drinking) so much sugar. It's killing us. The #2 dietary shift that leads to diabesity is our low-fiber diet. As our sugar consumption has increased, our fiber consumption has decreased. We now eat less than 8 grams per day. Yet our Paleolithic ancestors ate 100 grams of fiber per day. This is another indication of how we are no longer eating in harmony with our genes ... Fiber is important because it slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream from our gut and reduces cholesterol. It mostly comes from fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and beans. Those who eat a refined, processed, diet that comes from boxes, packages, or cans get less fiber than those who eat whole, real foods. The lack of fiber in our diet has enormous implications for our health. It causes heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancers and many other chronic diseases. In fact, studies show that adding high levels of fiber to the diet is as effective as diabetes medication without any of the side effects. And the #3 dietary shift that leads to diabesity is our epidemic of nutritional deficiencies. A number of nutrients are particularly important to prevent and treat diabesity. These include vitamin D, chromium, magnesium, zinc, biotin, omega-3 fats, and antioxidants such alpha lipoic acid. These nutrients are necessary for proper control and balance of insulin and blood sugar. When these are deficient, our biochemical machinery slows down and grinds to a halt. And these happen to be the very nutrients most of us are deficient in. What's critical to understand is that the solution to the whole diabesity epidemic can be found at the end of your fork! What you put on your fork is the most powerful medicine you have to correct the fundamental underlying causes of chronic disease and diabesity. That is true for one simple reason: Food is more than calories; it is information. Here's what I mean... We generally think of food as a way to get energy; a means to feed our bodies the fuel they need to function. However, new science has shown that food literally speaks to your genes. The information your body receives from the foods you eat turn your genes on and off. This provides your body with instructions about how to control your metabolism from moment to moment and day to day, every time you take a bite of food. This is the science of nutrigenomics, or how food talks to your genes, and it is the nutritional approach that underlies this program. Food is more than calories -- food is information. By feeding your body the right information, you can turn off the genes that lead to diabesity and turn on the genes that lead to health. The key lies in the quality and type of food you eat, not necessarily the calories you consume or the ratio of protein, fat, and carbohydrate in your diet. Dr. Dean Ornish proved that you could reverse blockages in clogged arteries and increase blood flow in the heart by simply changing the quality of the food you put in your body and engaging in some simple lifestyle changes. He also showed that you could beneficially affect over 500 genes turning off the disease-causing genes and turning on the health promoting genes by changing diet and lifestyle in just three months. This is more powerful than ANY medication ever invented. So what should you eat? The optimal diet to prevent and treat diabesity includes: * Fruits * Vegetables * Nuts * Seeds * Beans * Whole grains * Healthy fats such as Olive oil nuts, avocados, and omega-3 fats * Modest amounts of lean animal protein including small wild fish such as salmon or sardines. This is commonly known as a Mediterranean diet. It is a diet of whole, real, fresh food. It is a diet of food you have to prepare and cook from the raw materials of nature. And it has broad-ranging benefits for your health. === John McDougall MD routinely reverses and cures serious diseases like diabetes and heart disease simply by helping his patients change their diets. In his experience, the most important thing to remove from your diet is dairy foods. I realize that a lot of people are not going to want to hear this, but the science is overwhelming. The scary thing is that advertising dollars from the milk and cheese industry keeps this simple information from getting to the public. If you want a simple thing you can do to significantly improve your health, take the time to watch this important video.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Getting rid of diabetes involves not only what to take, but what not to take. For example, the alloxan used to bleach white flour is the very same chemical used by scientists to deliberately induce Diabetes mellitus in laboratory mice. Insulin receptors are inhibited by the presence of bromide, the very substance used as a dough conditioner in white bread. Both chlorine and fluoride compounds have the same effect on insulin receptors as bromide. All three of these elements are halogens and compete with iodine for uptake. Thus, one needs to eliminate any and all foods or water that contains halogens, and supplement using iodine. Lugol's iodine is recommended, and at a concentration range of 10-100 mg/day. All processed food must be eliminated, as they contain white flour, white sugar, aspartame, MSG, GMOs, and who knows what else. If the food is not in the wrapper that God provided, don't eat it! Note that diabetes is diet related. South Americans only started to get diabetes when they started eating an American junk food diet. The same goes for the Japanese and the Eskimos. Another factor in the diabetes pandemic is the preponderance of " plastic " oils that go by the name of " vegetable " oils. These " plastic " oils are only one molecule away from actual plastic. Avoid them all. Only cook with butter, coconut oil, or palm oil. Olive oil is healthy, but transfats are created when it is heated, so don't use it for cooking. The above information was the result of much reading over the years from many sources. John /Israel P.S.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Here is an article online about diabetes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus#Signs_and_symptoms Exercise is extremely important. So any aerobic exercise like running, jumping rope, etc to get your heart rate up is good. Whenever I see genetic I cannot help but wonder if all the people in the family have the same lifestyle, for ex. do not exercise outdoors, eat sugar and nutrasweet (which is really bad) fried foods, fast foods, negative thinking,etc. There is more info , but for now that is a start for you.I hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Giving up bread is only part of the story. You need to give up pasta, all processed food, and all sugar except naturally occurring variety. You even want to avoid fruit juices since you get the sugar too quickly. Along the way, find natural sources of Chromium, Silicon, Selenium, and Magnesium in supplements or better, in food. Find a good source of natural trace mineral. Supplement with Cinnulin and, finally, stay away from processed dairy products and you should be good to go. i reversed my diabetes with a raw vegan low fat diet. the last time i had an A1c done, it was low. the doctor felt sure there was some error, so took another blood sample, and ran it again. this one was even lower. then he wanted to run a 3rd one and i refused. (no insurance, these things are not cheap) he said it was impossible to reverse diabetes, and i told him what i was doing (i also lost 100 pounds over 8 months on this diet) he said that he had never heard of it being cured, there is no cure, and am i sure i had diabetes. DUH! he was the one who diagnosed it 7 years ago.. Then, he had the nerve to tell me, if i wanted to lose weight, why dont i try a sensible diet? doctors. ugg. anyway, giving up bread, (wheat) dairy and meat has made a great difference in my health. and is far more sensible than eating those things that cause illness! jan, diabetes free 4 years.
