Doctors are now prescribing Metformin, an known pharmaceutical, that protects diabetics from cancer growth. They want to use it with prediabetics because it can delay the progression of diabetes and possibly cancer.
Now we have a nutraceutical that can match Metformin's positive capabilites. Second Nature patients with prediabetes and diabetes take Xymogen's ALAmax Protect™ designed to help support cardiometabolic health. It delivers both alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and the plant alkaloid berberine in one convenient formula. These ingredients have been observed to support insulin activity and glucose metabolism. More recent research also suggests a role for berberine in supporting normal A1C levels.*

One of the best treatments is ozone chelation. Both therapies have been shown to reverse Type II diabetes. Chelation removes heavy metals that cause cardiovascular disease and free radical activity. Ozone kills pathogens that damage organ systems including the pancreas. The National Institutes of Health TACT Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy showed that 37% of patients with diabetes out of a total of 1700 patients had a 41% reduction in cardiac events, 52% drop in recurrent myocardial infarctions and 43% reduction of deaths. Chelation should become mainstream treatment for Type II diabetes. All Ozone therapies are MD ordered and supervised in NYS. Momordica injectable can be added to your ozone treatment to stabilize blood sugar regulation.
1. B. False - According to information cited in an article published online in Clinical Endocrinology News, “there is no direct evidence that preventing type 2 diabetes actually reduces the risk for diabetes-related complications.”
2. B.58.7 - According to results of the web-based test cited in an article published online in Clinical Endocrinology News, “[a]mong Americans aged 40 years and older, this test would classify an estimated 73.3 million, or 58.7%, as prediabetic.”
3. B. False - According to investigators cited in an article published online in Clinical Endocrinology News, “the natural progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes is likely to be slow, which calls into question the need for any intervention, particularly for older patients likely to die from competing causes.”
4. C. 80.8% - According to results of the web-based test cited in an article published online in Clinical Endocrinology News, among Americans “aged 60 years and older, it would classify 80.8% as prediabetic.”
5. B .False - According to information cited in an article published online in Clinical Endocrinology News, among individuals classified as prediabetic “[i]ntensive lifestyle modifications are not known to be beneficial for such patients, even those who are found to have impaired glucose tolerance.”
