86 million Americans were prediabetic in 2012 according to The American Diabetic Association.
21 million in the US have Type I or Type II since 2014. 8.1 million are still undiagnosed.
I remember during my nursing training of a older thin gentleman who lived on a farm, who generally went barefoot and had uncontrolled blood sugar levels. We saw him after a double amputation in the hospital for wound care. What I did not see was the surgeon and the two OR nurses who passed out because of the necrotic stench emitted during the surgery. The OR had to be closed and scrubbed. The patient had to be emergently moved and a new a surgical team came in to finish the amputations.
Sugar is poison and America should not run on it as displayed in the ads by Dunkin Donuts.
Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the US. It's preventable. When we prevent diabetes and or manage diabetes we stop all of the comorbidities like: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, amputation, blindness and neuropathies. All of these can be prevented.
Obesity causes systemic inflammation and drives insulin resistance. Insulin resistance stresses your pancreas to the point of permanent damage.
I care about my patients - everyone of them. I explain that disease means change especially when I tell them that they must change their diet. I don't sugar coat anything. They can attest to that. Yes, we can talk about recipes and how to make pizza from cauliflower, but you have to change what you eat to prevent and control disease. There is no way around it.
Gluten-free diets can delay the development of Type II diabetes, but gluten-free is still refined carbohydrates. My sister emailed me that Martha Stewart is now into Lose the Bread Go Gluten Free. Gluten-free has become the newest gold rush even though it might contain high amounts of sugar, GMO's and other cross-reactive grains. I think Martha Stewart smells the dough - the green kind.
Adding good quality fiber into your diet is helpful. I recommend Xymogen's OptiFiber SCFA daily in addition to several fruits and vegetables cooked and raw. I recommend cooking foods at lower temperatures to prevent carmelization or advanced glycation end products AKA AGE.
The Mediterranean diet is fabulous for blood sugar control. Drinking organic coffee minus the cow's milk and sugar is also recommended. You can liberally use 1 tsp. of real cinnamon in your coffee, fennugreek tea or oatmeal to stablilize blood sugar for 24 hours.
Second Nature patients who have reversed Type II diabetes take Xymogen's CinnDromX, Bio C 1:1, Magnesium citrate, chromium in CinnDromX, Mitochondrial Renewal Kit and Alpha-Lipoic Acid.
Those who resonante with herbs use Panax ginseng, Momordica charantia or bitter melon or Gymnema sylvestre.
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.
Book your first Ozone Therapy session.
