Eighty Seven Percent of All Type 2 Diabetes Can Be Prevented Naturally

It is a fact that almost 90% of Type 2 diabetes can be prevented by attention to diet and the use of specific supplements. However, before having a look at these possibilities, we shall first have a look at what type 2 diabetes is so that the means of prevention can be better understood.Diabetes is a condition, not a disease. It cannot be passed from one person to another, and there is evidence that it is hereditary since it tends to run in families. In the past it tended to develop later in life, although the modern lifestyle appears to have made it more common now in children and young adults.Diabetes occurs when the level of glucose in your blood becomes higher than it should be. The reason for this is twofold: either the body produces no or insufficient insulin or it cannot use the insulin that is produced. Sugars and other carbohydrates are metabolized to glucose that is the body’s source of energy. The parts of your body that do this are the mitochondria that are contained within your body cells, and the hormone insulin is essential in allowing this to happen.When the concentration of glucose in your blood reaches a certain level, the pancreas secretes insulin into your blood. The insulin is synthesized in special cells called the islets of Langerhans, after the person who discovered them. Also produced is glucagon which is also secreted into your bloodstream, and the glucagons and the insulin work together to ensure that your blood glucose levels remain stable (when everything is working correctly). Glucagon is secreted when your glucose levels are low, and its presence in the bloodstream stimulates the conversion of the emergency energy store in the liver (glycogen) to glucose in order to maintain this stability. Insulin, on the other hand, is released after you have consumed a meal, and your glucose levels are high. What insulin does is to stimulate the cells of your body to convert glucose to energy and either use it immediately, or store it as glycogen for use later. By means of these two substances, the level of glucose in your blood is maintained at safe levels – normally. If something happens to the supply of insulin, then the blood sugar level will continue to rise until the bloodstreams contains too much glucose, a condition known as hyperglycemia. The symptoms are excessive thirst, a frequent desire to urinate, fungal infections or thrush around the genital area (due to yeasts and sugar fermentation), and various others such as mood swings, cramps, dizziness and a feeling of tiredness and weakness. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body produces no insulin, and the only possible treatment is continual insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes is defined in two ways. Either your body does not make enough insulin for your needs, or the cells in your body cannot use the insulin produced properly. It is Type 2 diabetes we are concerned with here, and that we shall be exclusively discussing. With Type 2 diabetes, insulin shots can be provided, but there are other factors that can also help to resolve the problem. Before discussion treatment or prevention, you should be aware of the complications that Type 2 diabetes can lead to. Hyperglycemia is not common with this type of diabetes, but it can develop. If it does then it can be a life-threatening condition needing a rapid injection of insulin into the bloodstream Symptoms prior to the critical stage are drowsiness and dehydration, although as stated, this is more commonly associated with Type 1 diabetes where regular insulin injections is the normal treatment. Longer term complications of Type 2 include kidney damage, hardening of the arteries, eye problems, impotence and problems with your circulation. Nerve damage can also occur, and it is important that you avoid these by changing your diet and lifestyle. These problems occur if you have had high blood glucose levels over a long period of time, and you therefore have time to take the steps necessary to avoid them if you start now. The same steps will also help you to avoid the condition from occurring. So what are these steps you should take? The first is to look carefully at your diet. A healthy balanced diet is essential if you are to beat your condition naturally and avoid the potential longer term side effects. Diabetes is associated with the overweight and obese. That is not to say that only these people become diabetic, but the majority are. Most people with Type 2 diabetes are overweight, and although around 65% of Americans are overweight or obese, a considerably higher proportion of those with Type 2 diabetes are overweight. The first and obvious action to take to avoid this type of diabetes would therefore be to lose weight, and adopt a healthy diet that is free from junk food, trans fats and alcohol, all of which contribute to obesity. The next is to look to your blood pressure and keep it normal, and also to keep your low density lipoproteins (LDL) low. These affect the propensity for your blood cholesterol to deposit in your arteries, especially if they are oxidized by free radicals. A good antioxidant content is therefore recommended in your diet. Although blood pressure and high LDL levels do not directly contribute to diabetes, they are risk factors that could increase the risk to your health if you are diabetic.You should eat a diet that is high in whole grains and fiber, and eat lean meats and fish rather than fatty foods. Stick to complex carbohydrates that metabolize to glucose slowly and steadily, rather than starchy foods that produce a sudden sugar rush that will give you problems and could promote Type 2 diabetes in those that are prone to it. Specific supplements that you could take include chromium picolinate that can not only be used to treat existing diabetes patients but also to reduce your chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. Studies involving the use of chromium picolinate on patients with this type of diabetes have been very positive, resulting in reduced blood sugar, lipid and insulin levels. The optimum dosage is around 500 micrograms twice daily. Such treatment has been shown to both prevent and reverse Type 2 diabetes.Magnesium is another specific supplement that studies have suggested can lower the risk of developing this type of diabetes. Magnesium rich foods have also been found to be effective, and the fact that a magnesium deficiency can lead to diabetes supports the findings that its use can help to prevent it. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, and beans nuts and seeds are generally rich in magnesium.Vitamin D can also help protect against the development of diabetes. Although the research is relatively new, it has been established that the cells that produce insulin are affected by a lack of vitamin D in the blood, and low levels of vitamin D can also led to insulin resistance. If you spend more time out in the sun, you should have less chance of contracting Type 2 diabetes, although you could also take a supplement.Although Type 2 diabetes is not as serious as Type 1, no form of diabetes is desirable to have, and ultimately both types can be extremely serious. You should do what you can to avoid diabetes, and Type 2 is easier to avoid then Type 1. Diet, weight and supplementation as described above will all help to avoid contracting this condition, so follow the advice, especially if you are overweight and have a sweet tooth.

Few areas of medical research are generating as much interest as stem cells. There are several reasons why they are receiving so much scientific attention. They are able to divide into copies of themselves. They’re unspecialized. And they can produce other cell types.

Unlike other cell types, stem cells can divide into identical copies of themselves, and can do so for the life of the organism. Other specialized cell types are unable to do this. When they are damaged they cannot create replacement cells of the same type.

Stem cells are unspecialized. They don’t have tissue-specific functions or properties like red blood cells or nerve cells. They can’t oxygenate the body or make parts of it move or carry nerve impulses. They can however through a process called differentiation, divide and produce or give rise to other specialized cell types (blood cells, heart muscle cells, etc.)

Of great interest to scientists is the ability of stem cells to replicate many times over (proliferate), and remain unspecialized until called upon to differentiate into a specific cell type for repair of the body. Understanding this process is key to controlling the differentiation process and growing specific cells for, among other things, cell-based therapies.

A large part of the research effort is on the ability of stem cells to replace damaged cells in the body. As stem cells can, under the right conditions, be induced to become other cell types, they may be used to replace cells damaged or lost to injury or disease. It’s thought that there is the potential to produce, through continued research, cures for diseases such as Parkinson’s and diabetes, or to repair devastating injuries to the spinal cord.

Stem cells come in two varieties. The type that can differentiate into any adult cell type (pluripotent), or those that are limited in the types they can become (multipotent). Pluripotent stem cells are found in very early development organisms and multipotent stem cells among differentiated cells of the body.

The pluripotent cells used in research are derived from mammalian embryos in the very early stages of development (4-6 days old). Human embryos for stem cell research are those that are the result of in-vitro fertilization and donated, they are not from intra-uterine fertilization. These embryonic stem cells can potentially become each (more than 200) of the bodies cell types.

This ability to produce other cell types makes them a source for regenerative medicine and tissue replacement therapies. Though no treatments have been derived from embryonic stem cells yet, this is not unusual for any early research field so it’s still very promising.

Multipotent stem cells are found throughout the various tissue types of the body including cord blood. Though unspecialized, they can only produce cells of they type in which they are found. They repair and maintain those types of cells. Blood forming adult stem cells in the bone marrow repair and replace blood cell types like red blood cells and white blood cells and platelets. Retinal stem cells only replace and repair the retina. While it was generally believed that multipotent cells can only produce a limited number of different cells, recent research seems to indicate that they may not be as limited as previously thought.

Because stem cells can repair and replace damaged tissues, they are considered to be important to regenerative medicine (growing and replacing damaged tissue, or making natural healing work faster). Understandably there is a great deal of work being done in this area.

Stem cell research has given hope to many suffering from untreatable or incurable diseases and injuries that an answer to their health issues may be on the horizon. While these new therapies may be years away, science is making steady progress in understanding the process that make stem cells so promising. One can only be encouraged by the progress made so far and hopeful that all of the optimistic projections are realized.

TOXINS

Have you ever asked yourself this question, why is it today we have more obese people? Up 67% of the population are overweight today. There were a great lot less many years ago.

A few, but in no way were they around as they are today, and believe me it will get worse. It will not get any better unless people educate themselves. Unless they know why this is happening, the problem will continue to grow.

Think of this; in the 1950′ and 60’s we never had so many obese people as we have today. In fact, I believe people did not get fat, they just did not like to draw attention to themselves.

I guess there were one or two around, however lot too many.

Don’t tell me it was because some of us did not have enough to eat, because even then we had those who were financially comfortable but did look after themselves. Their health and well being was as it should be.

We did not see overweight people as we see today. I recall I went to Las Vegas and observed numerous ladies sitting next to slot machines pumping in their quarters These ladies definitely fitted what I refer to as obese.

Weight loss for good, is the goal of anyone unhappy with their current size or shape. The information on this web site is aimed at anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off.

We don’t have to tell you, being obese can have serious consequences to your health. These include an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, gallstones, and some forms of cancer. Losing weight can help reduce each of these risks.

According to research by the Discovery Health Channel, 50 percent of children do not get enough exercise to develop healthy heart and lung systems. Furthermore, 78 percent have at least one heart disease risk and 20 to 30 percent are already obese. Adults are in even worse shape with 64 percent not getting enough exercise to maintain healthy heart and lung systems, 24 percent never exercise, and more than 45 percent are overweight.

Victims of a Toxic Colon

Have you ever considered this simple question: Are you clean inside? We shower, brush our teeth and wash our hair on a daily basis, but we tend to ignore cleansing our insides until some form of disease sends us a wake-up call. Believe it or not, our insides, especially the colon which functions as the “sewer system” of our body, also requires regular cleaning.

Constipation, parasites, IBS, gas, bloating, stomach pain, chronic fatigue, digestive problems can all be signs of a toxic colon. Don’t be a victim, suffering silently from these painful and often embarrassing health conditions. Find out the truth about colon cleansing and how it can help you.

Why Is Colon Cleansing So Crucial?

We are all exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis at work, in the home, through the air we breathe, our food and water supply, and through the use of harmaceutical drugs. In addition, we are eating more sugar and processed foods than ever before in human history and regularly abuse our bodies with various stimulants and sedatives.

“Death Begins in the Colon”

These toxins and “dead” foods lead to poor digestion, constipation, toxic colon build-up, weight gain and low energy.

These common symptoms are more than just an inconvenience they can lead to long-term health problems and serious disease.

“Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one’s intestines is probably at the bottom of most people’s lists.

Let’s face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don’t believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material.” Vegetarian Times, March, 1998

“Parasites May Rule the World”

This waste material is home to, in the words of National Geographic, “a sinister world of monstrous creatures that feed on living flesh: parasites”. Discover magazine published a feature article in its August 2000 issue: “Every living thing has at least one parasite that lives inside or on it, and many, including humans, have far more. …Scientists…are only just beginning to discover exactly how powerful these hidden inhabitants can be, but their research is pointing to a remarkable possibility: Parasites may rule the world. The notion that tiny creatures we’ve largely taken for granted are such a dominant force is immensely disturbing. We are collections of cells that work together, kept harmonized by chemical signals.

If an organism can control those signals an organism like a parasite then it can control us. And therein lies the peculiar and precise horror of parasites.”

The combination of environmental toxins, an unhealthy diet and parasites poses a grave danger to humans. “In fact, parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in history”, reported National Geographic in its award-winning documentary, The Body Snatchers.

In order to rid ourselves of these toxins it was required someone came up with a body cleanse which would be able to clean out the fat particles, and the toxins from the colon, liver, kidneys and lungs, plus all the other organs. I am happy to say I used John Anderson’s natural cleanse, after I used it I felt 100% better and full of energy.

Hear what the experts are saying.

Smoking is the name of that curse that not only eats up a person from within but also affects the ones around him. Inspite of being aware of the kind of damage smoking can bring about; people are not ready to part ways with the fag. Smoking is an addiction that doesn’t spare even one part of the human body. It is the potent cause of most of the cancers. In short smoking is a complete killer.

The governments and the international organizations are taking steps in order to make people understand and realize the hazards of smoking. In many places smoking has been completely banned especially in the public places. Various forms of warnings appear on the labels of the cigarette packets in an attempt to discourage people from this fateful addiction. However, little has been achieved on the quit smoking front as most of the smokers inspite of having the will are not able to give up smoking.

Therefore in a desperate attempt to discourage people the medical world and the governments are now trying to highlight all the possible harms that smoking brings about quite extensively. This is the reason why we see a lot of articles on ‘no smoking’ in the papers, journals, and the magazines. Every attempt that has the potential of scaring the people away from the bane of smoking has been adopted.

In a similar attempt, a particular study has proved that smoking induces diabetes in patients. It has been found to be the cause of the most common form of diabetes. Smokers have the possibility of developing diabetes, a whopping 44% more than their non smoking counterparts. And this percentage is only for the moderate smokers. The percentage increases drastically to 61% in case of heavy smokers. Though quitting the puff helps, still the chances of developing diabetes are not totally negated. There still remains a 23% chance.

Diabetes is a disease that can give rise to a lot of complications in the treatment of other diseases. It in itself is a nerve wrecking disease that is a fertile breeding ground for a lot of other diseases. But I am pretty sure that even this piece of news won’t be enough to fuel up the people in giving up smoking. May be that’s why it is known as an ‘Addiction’. Because in spite of having the willingness to quit, people become helpless even with the thought of quitting, mainly because they have developed an unconditional dependency on the puff.

So in order to help the people out of the labyrinth of smoking the medical giant Pfizer has come up with a very novel and at the same time noble concept of quit smoking drug. Anti smoking drug Pfizer Chantix has been introduced in the online world so that people have access to it easily. People can order Chantix from the online pharmacies after they have had a preliminary and a mandatory medical consultation in order to be safe from the Chantix side effects. Thus one can buy Chantix online and attempt to give up on smoking for one’s own health, for the health of one’s family, and also for the health of the environment.

Check out the benefits of being active, how much activity is best for you, and get a few tips to be more active now.

Copied from the American Diabetes Association web site

As you can see 9 out of 10 of people are overweight when suffering from type 2 diabetes, therefore, it is imperative that body weight must be controlled.

One must look at the percentage of people overweight on this continent today; it wasn’t like that 40 years ago was it? A person doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know why this is so, we live in a different world today.

Our whole atmosphere, soil conditions, eating habits, are so different. The toxins we collect in our bodies which effect our organs do not allow our systems to work as the should.

I recall, a couple of years ago a show on Oprah Winfrey. Oprah had as a guest some sort of specialist, what he was doing was cutting up cadavers. Not the best subject for a show I think you will agree. The whole thing wasn’t very pleasant.

The specialist opened the subjects stomach and took out I would suggest about 10 lbs of pure fat. Right in the middle of the fat was the liver.

We have to ask ourselves how apart from the man carrying all this extra weight around all his life, how ever did his liver or his kidneys work to full efficiency.

You can well understand, Oprah had a lot to say about this as you can well understand.

They went into a long discussion as to why this was happening way more than it ever did.

They brought things up how thousands and thousands of people were suffering with so many different illnesses, which included diabetes due mainly to the toxins.

I quote from another article I wrote, “Why we have to get rid of toxins”

Diabetes Travel Care – Awesome Tips for People with Diabetes

People with diabetes often face a lot of problems while traveling. This is because they are unable to cope up with the complications of the disease.You need to take special care of your health, especially if you are diabetic. Here are some special tips you can follow in order to keep track on your diabetes while traveling:a) Planning ahead:You deserve to enjoy your trip. Hence, if you want to travel with diabetes, you must plan ahead very carefully. You must have heard many stories related to lost luggage or encountering a natural disaster. It is true that you cannot avoid these disasters, it is necessary to prepare yourself before you actually leave. This will save you from encountering undue stress. Make sure that you inform your agents about your health condition. Thereafter, you need to look for specific requirements that are required for a patient with diabetes to take along. This will let you plan all your needs. Any missed connection can easily run even the best holiday trip of yours. b) Plan to visit your physician:It would be a wise idea to visit your doctor for a check-up. This should be done several weeks prior to leaving for the trip actually. Try to discuss your case with the diabetes health care team. Let your health care practitioner decide a meal plan and medicines for you. Ask about certain specific medications you require for the trip. Make sure that all you necessary vaccinations is done at least four weeks prior to your visit. This will let you deal with all possible side effects. It is very important for you to ask for a special prescription required by you for the trip. The prescription should include insulin and oral medications. Also try to take insulin and record the types of insulin that would be required. You must carry a copy with you 24 x 7. Remember that some countries may ask you for written documents from your health care practitioner stating that you can may carry these medicines. There would be problems especially in taking along syringes and needles in some countries.c) Management tips:Ask your health care practitioner about what should be done if your health gets disturbed while on the trip. It is normal to experience some kind of motion sickness. It is advised to take some liquids, preferably in the form of fluids. You require to test your blood glucose level in every two or four hours.d) Identification:You should take identification with you round the clock that describes your condition. This will be of great in case of an emergency. You should get a MedicAlert™ bracelet or necklace describing that you have diabetes.e) Travel insurance:This would be an excellent idea.f) Pack wisely:Don’t forget any of your medicines and diabetes supplies. Pack them in more than one place. This way you would not face problems in case your luggage gets lost. Take food, water, sun-block, walking shoes and medication for diarrhea and nausea.Follow the above mentioned tips and you would be able to combat complications related to diabetes that may strike you on the trip.

Diabetes – Understand Diabetes!

Diabetes is a chronic disease. Medical experts believe that once contracted, this disease cannot be cured. This article will help you to understand it and make you to be more aware how to live with the disease without having to face too many complications. A) What is diabetes?Diabetes is a disease that may strike anyone anytime. It is chronic and does not have any permanent cure. However, with proper care and treatment, one can live a healthy life. If left untreated, the disease will have a real bad effect on health and result in death. Many people with diabetes tend to face a lot of problems due to diabetes. These complications interfere in their daily activities. Hence, medical experts always prescribe proper treatment.B) CausesDiabetes is a result of body’s inability to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is required to convert starches, sugar and other food into energy to facilitate daily life requirements. The actual cause of diabetes is a mystery.
