Type 2 Diabetes Issues

When the pancreas does not produce enough insulin

For the most part, this is not an issue for Type 2 Diabetics.  Most people who do not produce insulin are labeled as Type 1.  Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Most Type 2 Diabetics started out producing enough insulin, but as the beta cells become exhausted, insulin production slows down, but only in rare cases does it stop altogether.

When the cells become insulin resistant

Insulin receptor sites on the surface of the cells won't open up to let glucose and other nutrients in, REGARDLESS of how much insulin is pumped in.  This is why giving Type 2 diabetics more insulin makes NO SENSE. 

When the liver produces too much glucose

When blood sugar is normal or low, and you need a burst of energy, the liver manufactures glucose.  The livers of some diabeticcs produce too much glocose, or do not filter enough glucose out of the blood.

When excess glucose in the blood makes the blood thick and sticky

Thick, sticky blood impairs circulation.  Tissues that do not receive enough oxygen slowly die.  During this period, different body systems will start to malfunction. Nerves can be damaged, causing diabetic neuropathy.  Wounds heal slowly or not at all.  Blood return to the heart is reduced.  The heart has to pump harder to get enough oxygen to the tissues, raising blood pressure.

When excess fat tissue secretes the hormone Leptin.

Fat tissue secretes Leptin, a hormone that impairs beta cell function and increases insulin resistance.  In short, the more overweight you are, the more insulin resistant you will become.

When fatty tissues cause a chronic inflammatory condition

Fat cells secrete fatty acids which cause a chronic inflammation in the body, which in turn increases insulin resistance.

When the kidneys increase urination to try and rid the body of excess glucose

Massive amounts of vitamins and minerals are lost in the urine, as the kidneys try to flush excess glucose from the body.  Severe vitamin and mineral deficiency coupled with high levels of glucose which damage cells, cause kidney damage.

When a fungal infection develops, feeding on the excess sugar in the blood and tissues

Sugars and grains have fungal organisms on the surface of them which produce mycotoxins, and it is these mycotoxins which, if injected into healthy animals, cause them to develop diabetic symptoms.  These mycotoxins suppress the immune system and make it difficult for diabetics to heal themselves.

When excess insulin in the blood causes fatty liver disease

High levels of insulin in the blood create a metabolic imbalance which increases levels of free fatty acids in the blood, causing free radical damage and ultimately liver cell damage.


I was a Type 2 Diabetic
 
I found I was a Type 2 Diabetic when I got a severe staph infection in my foot.  I was in severe pain, my foot turned beet red and started to swell.  I went to the hospital emergency room, and found my temperature was 102 degrees and my blood pressure was 200/100.  My blood sugar was 274,  An MRI showed that the bone in my little toe was basically disintegrated.  They told me they had to amputate the little toe and put me on massive amounts of IV antibiotics.  I was given oral diabetic medications as well as insulin.  They experimented with many blood pressure medications until they found a combination that would keep my pressure down.  I was also told I had chronic kidney disease.  During the past year I had been suffering with constant diarrhea, apparently caused by the excess sugar in my system.  My joints were stiff, toes slightly numb, I had back and neck pain, my hair was falling out, I had cataracts, woke up every two hours throughout the night, and was about 100 pounds overweight.  I had stopped having periods, and noticed that I no longer had to shsave my legs because they didn't grow hair anymore, and most of my pubic hair fell out.  I had a constant vaginal yeast infection, gum disease, and my teeth were falling out in big chunks.  My muscles were noticably losing their strength.  I could no longer lift anything heavy, open jar lids, roll a bowling ball, or climb stairs without great difficulty.  I couldn't sit down in the bathtub to take a bath because I couldn't get back up.  I lost some toenails to severe tonail fungus, and constantly had red, inflamed areas under each breast.  In short, I was falling apart!

They put me on Glipizide and Metformin, but I soon became deathly ill.  I was so nauseated I couldn't keep anything down.  I couldn't function at all.  One of the doctors looked over my medication list and when he saw I was taking Metformin, he knew immediately that it was the culprit.  In 2008, a study of Metformin's kissing cousin, a drug called Phenformin, had to be stopped because the study was killing to many of the participants.  It was found that those who took this drug increased their risk of dying from heart disease by 300%.  I can vouch for the fact that this drug is dangerous.  Don't take either of these drugs!

Also, it makes no sense to give drugs like insulin or Glipizide to diabetics who are insulin resistant.  Glipizide causes the pancrase to produce a burst of insulin.  If you are insulin resistant, and can't use the insulin you've got, it doesn't make sense to give you more.  Excess insulin in the blood causes more problems than it solves. 

In fact, researchers have decided that it is safer for diabetics to DO NOTHING than it is for them to take these drugs!

Soon after I started taking the combination of Lisinopril and Clonodine for blood pressure, I started feeling very dizzy and so tired I couldn't get up to get a glass of water.  I took my blood pressure and found that it was 77/50.  No wonder I was dizzy!  I stopped taking the Lisinopril and the dizziness stopped.  I was still able to take the clonodine and it seemed to help my pressure enough.  However, one doctor told me that the body often overrides the medication and raises the pressure again because some parts of your body are not getting enough oxygen and it raises the pressure to try and pump enough blood to the extremeties to keep them oxygenated.  So until you fix the cause of the poor cirulation, the pressure isn't going to stay down, even with medication.

You may looka t the list at the right and say, "That's a lot of supplements to take, and it will probably be expensive. Why not just take some Glipizide and Metformin every day that costs you $4 a month at Walmart?" Because these drugs make your condition worse in the long run, and they don't heal you.  You are diabetic because you have multiple, severe nutritional deficiencies.  It takes a while of being on these supplements to correct these deficiencies.  It's your choice...do you want to be cured, or do you want to just "manage" your diabetes all yoru life?

How I Cured Myself

I was determined that I was not going to continue to take these medication, which are so bad for our bodies.  The current mainstream medical treatment given for diabetes makes no sense at all.  I asked the doctors a lot of questions about these treatments and I didn't get satisfactory answers.  I asked them why they gave insulin to someone who couldn't efficiently use it and they said, "Well, we've got to do something."  What a lame answer!  I asked what the effect was of all this extra insulin floating around in the blood of someone that can't utilize it and they said, "Nothing.  It does not harm at all."  Well, excess insulin makes you extremely hungry, so you eat more and gain weight.  It also causes your body to store the excess glucose as fat.  So diabetics store more fat, and when the scale shows they have lost weight, they are actually losing muscle tissue, not fat. 

I went off all the medications and started following a strict regiment of nutritional supplements.  Diabetics have severe nutritional deficiencies because their cells can't absorb the nutrients they need, and because the kidneys flush out a lot of nutrients due to excessive urination.  So here are the nutrients I took: 

1/2 tsp cinnamon twice a day. Do not use culinary cinnamon and put it in your food.  Saliva deactivates the helpful nutrients in cinnamon.  Take capsules or a liquid extract.

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 X daily. Put in in a glass of water and add some stevia or Xylitol to sweeten it.

75mg B6
150mg B12
300mcg Biotin
1000mg Vitamin C  or more
400 to 1200 IU Vitamin E or more
1200 mg Calcium
600 to 1000 mg magnesium
5000 IU Vitamin D daily

400mg silymarin

70mcg selenium

50 mg ellagic acid

Vanadium (vanadyl sulfate) 30 - 100 mcg

Chromium Polynicotinate(ChromoMate) at least 200mcg daily

Gymnema sylvestre 200-400mg daily

Banaba leaf extract 15 mg daily

Alpha Lipoic Acid Controlled Release Formula, 800 to 1200 mg, divide this dose and take 1/2 hour to 1 hour before each meal.

Krill Oil, 1 capsule for every 10 pounds of body weight (order from Dr. Mercola, www.mercola.com)

Cellfood, 8 to 10 drops in water Cellfood Silica 15 drops, in water 3 times daily.

Serrapeptase 1 capsule 90,000 units daily

The New Silver Solution, 1 Tbsp 3 times per day.

I increased my intake of fruits, vegetables and legumes. I ate lean meats, poultry and fish.  I ate 2 ounces of dark chocolate every other day.  I increased my daily exercise.  Used coconut oil and olive oil to cook with.

Drink a cup of coffee or green tea when you get hungry.  Caffeine is an appetite suppressant.

Used infrared light therapy to incrase circulation to my feet, as well as magnetic insoles in my shoes as well as wearing magnetic necklace and bracelet, this reacts with the iron in your blood to increase circulation. 

Drink the juice of one lemon or one lime in water with every meal.

Cellfood, Ellgic Acid, The New Silver Solution, Sango Coral Calcium, B6, B12 and ChromoMate can be purchased on this website.

Timed Release Alpha Lipoic Acid can be purchased from NutraVene at 1-800-810-6655.
