Diabetes introduction
If
you are an American diabetic, your physician will never tell you that
most diabetes is curable. In fact, if you even mention the cure
word around him, he will likely become upset and irrational. His
medical school training only allows him to respond to the word
treatment. For him, the cure word does not exist. Diabetes, in
its modern epidemic form, is a curable disease and has been for at
least 40 years. In 2001, the most recent year for which US
figures are posted, 934,550 Americans died from out of control
symptoms of this disease.1
Your
physician will also never tell you that at one time strokes, both
ischemic and hemorrhagic, heart failure due to neuropathy as well as
both ischemic and hemorrhagic coronary events, obesity,
atherosclerosis, elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol,
elevated triglycerides, impotence, retinopathy, renal failure, liver
failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, elevated blood sugar, systemic
candida, impaired carbohydrate metabolism, poor wound healing,
impaired fat metabolism, peripheral neuropathy as well as many more
of today’s disgraceful epidemic disorders were once well
understood to often be but symptoms of diabetes.
If
you contract diabetes and depend upon orthodox medical treatment,
sooner or later you will experience one or more of its symptoms as
the disease rapidly worsens. It is now common practice to refer to
these symptoms as if they were separable independent diseases with
separate unrelated treatments provided by competing medical
specialists.
It is
true that many of these symptoms can and sometimes do result from
other causes; however, it is also true that this fact has been used
to disguise the causative role of diabetes and to justify expensive,
ineffective treatments for these symptoms.
Epidemic
Type II Diabetes is curable. By the time you get to the end of this
article you are going to know that. You’re going to know why
it isn’t routinely being cured. And, you’re going to know
how to cure it. You are also probably going to be angry at
what a handful of greedy people have surreptitiously done to the
entire orthodox medical community and to its trusting patients.
The
diabetes industry
Today’s
diabetes industry is a massive community that has grown step by step
from its dubious origins in the early twentieth century. In the last
eighty years it has become enormously successful at shutting out
competitive voices that attempt to point out the fraud involved in
modern diabetes treatment. It has matured into a religion. And, like
all religions, it depends heavily upon the faith of the believer. So
successful has it become that it verges on blasphemy to suggest that,
in most cases, the kindly high priest with the stethoscope draped
prominently around his neck is a charlatan and a fraud. In the large
majority of cases he has never cured a single case of diabetes in his
entire medical career.
The
financial and political influence of this medical community has
almost totally subverted the original intent of our regulatory
agencies. They routinely approve death dealing ineffective drugs with
insufficient testing. Former commissioner of the FDA, Dr. Herbert
Ley, in testimony before a US Senate hearing, commented “People
think the FDA is protecting them. It isn’t. What the FDA is
doing and what the public thinks it’s doing are as different as
night and day.”2
The
financial and political influence of this medical community dominates
our entire medical insurance industry. Although this is beginning to
change, in America, it is still difficult to find employer group
medical insurance to cover effective alternative medical treatments.
Orthodox coverage is standard in all states. Alternative medicine is
not. For example there are only 1400 licensed naturopaths in 11
states compared to over 3.4 million orthodox licensees in 50 states.3
Generally, only approved treatments from licensed credentialed
practitioners are insurable. This, in effect, neatly creates a
special kind of money that can only be spent within the orthodox
medical and drug industry. No other industry in the world has been
able to manage the politics of convincing people to accept so large a
part of their pay in a form that often does not allow them to spend
it as they see fit.
The
financial and political influence of this medical community
completely controls virtually every diabetes publication in the
country. Many diabetes publications are subsidized by ads for
diabetes supplies. No diabetes editor is going to allow the truth to
be printed in his magazine. This is why the diabetic only pays about
1/4 to 1/3 of the cost of printing the magazine he depends upon for
accurate information. The rest is subsidized by diabetes
manufacturers with a vested commercial interest in preventing
diabetics from curing their diabetes. When looking for a
magazine that tells the truth about diabetes, look first to see if it
is full of ads for diabetes supplies.
And
then there are the various associations that solicit annual donations
to find a cure for their proprietary disease. Every year they promise
a cure is just around the corner; just send more money. Some of these
very same associations have been clearly implicated in providing
advice that promotes the progress of diabetes in their trusting
supporters. For example, for years they heavily promoted exchange
diets4
which are in fact scientifically worthless, as anyone who has ever
tried to use them quickly finds out. They have ridiculed the use of
glycemic tables which are actually very helpful to the diabetic. They
promoted the use of margarine as heart healthy long after it was well
understood that margarine causes diabetes and promotes heart
failure.5
If people ever wake up to the cure for diabetes that has been
suppressed for forty years, these associations will soon be out of
business. But until then, they nonetheless continue to need our
support.
For forty
years medical research has consistently shown, with increasing
clarity, that diabetes is a degenerative disease directly caused by
an engineered food supply that is focused on profit instead of
health. Although the diligent can readily glean this information from
a wealth of medical research literature, it is generally otherwise
unavailable. Certainly this information has been, and remains,
largely unavailable in the medical schools that train our retail
doctors.
Prominent
among the causative agents in our modern diabetes epidemic are the
engineered fats and oils sold in today’s supermarkets.
The first
step to curing diabetes is to stop believing the lie that the disease
is incurable.
Diabetes
history
In
1922, three Canadian Nobel prize winners, Banting, Best and Macleod
were successful in saving the life of a fourteen year old diabetic
girl in Toronto General Hospital with injectable insulin.6
Eli Lilly was licensed to manufacture this new wonder drug and the
medical community basked in the glory of a job well done.
It
wasn't until 1933 that rumors about a new rogue diabetes surfaced.
This was in a paper presented by Joslyn, Dublin and Marks and printed
in the American Journal of Medical Sciences. This paper "Studies
on Diabetes Mellitus"7,
discussed the emergence of a major US epidemic of a disease which
looked very much like the diabetes of the early 1920's only it did
not respond to the wonder drug, insulin. Even worse, sometimes
insulin treatment killed the patient.
This new
disease became known as Insulin Resistant Diabetes because it had the
elevated blood sugar symptom of diabetes, but responded poorly to
insulin therapy. Many physicians had considerable success in
treatment of this disease by diet. A great deal was learned about the
relationship between diet and diabetes in the 1930’s and
1940’s.
Diabetes,
which had a per capita incidence of 0.0028% at the turn of the
century, had by 1933, zoomed 1000% in the US to become a disease
faced by many doctors8.
This disease, under a variety of aliases, was destined to go on to
wreck the health of over half of the American population and to
incapacitate almost 20% by the 1990's.9
In
1950 the medical community became able to perform serum insulin
assays. This quickly revealed that the disease wasn't classical
diabetes. This new disease was characterized by sufficient, often
excessive, blood insulin levels. The problem was that the insulin was
ineffective; it did not reduce blood sugar. But, since the
disease had been known as diabetes for almost twenty years it was
renamed Type II Diabetes. This was to distinguish it from the earlier
Type 1 Diabetes which was due to insufficient insulin production by
the pancreas.
Had the
dietary insights of the previous 20 years dominated the medical scene
from this point and into the late 1960’s, diabetes would have
become widely recognized as curable instead of merely treatable.
Unfortunately this didn’t happen and so, in 1950, a search was
launched for another wonder drug to deal with the Type II Diabetes
problem.
Cure vs
treatment
This
new ideal wonder drug would be, like insulin, effective in remitting
obvious adverse symptoms of the disease, but not effective in
curing the underlying disease. Thus, it would be needed
continually for the remaining life of the patient. It would have to
be patentable; that is, it could not be a natural medication because
these are non-patentable. Like insulin, it would be highly profitable
to manufacture and distribute. Mandatory government approvals would
be required to stimulate the use by physicians as a prescription
drug. Testing required for these approvals would have to be
enormously expensive to prevent other, unapproved, medications from
becoming competitive.
This
is the origin of the classic medical protocol of “treating the
symptoms”. By doing this, both the drug company and the doctor
could prosper in business and the patient, while not being cured
of his disease, was sometimes temporarily relieved of some of his
symptoms.
Additionally,
natural medications that actually cured disease, would have to be
suppressed. The more effective they were, the more they would need to
be suppressed and their proponents jailed as quacks. After all, it
wouldn’t do to have some cheap effective natural medication
cure disease in a capital intensive monopoly market specifically
designed to treat symptoms without curing disease. Often the
natural substance really did cure disease. This is why the force of
law was used to drive the natural, often superior, medicines from the
market place, to remove the cure word from the medical
vocabulary and to totally undermine the very concept of a free
marketplace in the medical business.
Now
it is clear why the cure word is so vigorously
suppressed by law. The FDA has extensive Orwellian regulations that
prohibit the use of the cure word to describe any competing medicine
or natural substance. It is precisely because many natural
substances do actually both cure and prevent disease that this
word has become so frightening to the drug and orthodox medical
community.
The
commercial value of symptoms
After
this redesign of drug development policy to focus on ameliorating
symptoms rather than curing disease, it became necessary to reinvent
the way drugs were marketed. This was done in 1949 in the midst of a
major epidemic of insulin resistant diabetes.
In
1949, the US medical community reclassified the symptoms of
diabetes,10
along with many other disease symptoms, into diseases in their own
right. With this reclassification as the new basis for diagnosis,
competing medical specialty groups quickly seized upon related groups
of symptoms as their own proprietary symptom set. Thus the heart
specialist, endocrinologist, allergist, kidney specialist, and many
others started to treat the symptoms for which they felt responsible.
As the underlying cause of the disease was widely ignored, all focus
on actually curing anything was completely lost. By this new focus on
treating symptoms, instead of curing disease, disease was now allowed
to run rampant without any effective check on its progress. While not
a very smart idea from the patients viewpoint, it did succeed in
making the American medical community amongst the wealthiest in the
world because of the continuing high volume of repeat business that
it promoted.
Heart
failure for example, which had previously been understood to often be
but a symptom of diabetes, now became a disease not directly
connected to diabetes. It became fashionable to think that diabetes
"increased cardio-vascular risk.” The causal role of a
failed blood sugar control system in heart failure became obscured.
Consistent with the new medical paradigm, none of the treatments
offered by the heart specialist actually cures, or is even
intended to cure, their proprietary disease. For example, the three
year survival rate for bypass surgery is almost exactly the same as
if no surgery was undertaken.11
Today
over half of the people in America suffer from one or more symptoms
of this disease. In its beginnings, it has become well known to
physicians as Type II Diabetes, Insulin Resistant Diabetes, Insulin
Resistance, Adult Onset Diabetes, or more rarely Hyperinsulinemia.
According to the American Heart Association, almost 50% of Americans
suffer from one or more symptoms of this disease. One third of our
population is morbidly obese. Half of our population is overweight.
Type II Diabetes, also called Adult Onset Diabetes, now appears
routinely in six year old children.
Many of
our degenerative diseases can be traced to a massive failure of our
endocrine system that was well known to the physicians of the 1930’s
as Insulin Resistant Diabetes. This basic underlying disorder is
known to be a derangement of the blood sugar control system by badly
engineered fats and oils. It is exacerbated and complicated by the
widespread lack of other essential nutrition that the body needs to
cope with the metabolic consequences of these poisons.
All fats
and oils are not equal. Some are healthy and beneficial; many,
commonly available in the supermarket, are poisonous. The health
distinction is not between saturated and unsaturated, as the fats and
oils industry would have us believe. Many saturated oils and fats are
highly beneficial; many unsaturated oils are highly poisonous. The
important health distinction is between natural and engineered. There
exists great dishonesty in advertising in the fats and oils industry.
It is aimed at creating a market for cheap junk oils such as soy,
cottonseed and rape seed oil. With an informed and aware public these
oils would have no market at all and the US, and indeed the world,
would have far less diabetes.
Epidemiological
Life style link
As
early as 1901, efforts had been made to manufacture and sell food
products by the use of automated factory machinery because of the
immense potential profits that were possible. Most of the early
efforts failed because people were inherently suspicious of food that
wasn't farm fresh and because the technology was poor. As long as
people were prosperous, suspicious food products made little headway.
Crisco,12
the artificial shortening, was once given away free in 2 1/2 lb cans
in an unsuccessful effort to influence the US wives to trust and buy
the product in preference to lard.
Margarine
was introduced and was bitterly opposed by the dairy states. With the
advent of the depression of the 1930’s, margarine, Crisco and
a host of other refined and hydrogenated products began to make
significant penetration into the US food markets. Support for dairy
opposition to margarine faded during WW II because there wasn't
enough butter for both the civilian population and the needs of the
military.13
At this point, the dairy industry having lost much support, simply
accepted a diluted market share and concentrated on supplying the
military.
Flax oils
and fish oils, which were common in the stores and considered a
dietary
staple before the American
population became diseased, have disappeared from the shelf. The last
supplier of flax oil to the major distribution chains was Archer
Daniel’s Midland and they stopped producing and supplying the
product in 1950.
More
recently, one of the most important of the remaining genuinely
beneficial fats was subjected to a massive media disinformation
campaign that portrayed it as a saturated fat that causes heart
failure. As a result, it has virtually disappeared from the
supermarket shelves. Thus was coconut oil removed from the food chain
and replaced with soy oil, cottonseed oil and rape seed oil.14
Our parents would never have swapped a fine healthy oil like coconut
oil for these cheap junk oils. It was shortly after this successful
media blitz that the US populace lost its war on fat. For many years
coconut oil had been our most effective dietary weight control agent.
The
history of the engineered adulteration of our once clean food supply
exactly parallels the rise of the epidemic of diabetes and
hyperinsulinemia now sweeping the US as well as much of the rest of
the world.
The
second step to a cure for this disease epidemic is to stop believing
the lie that our food supply is safe and nutritious.
Nature of the disease
Diabetes
is classically diagnosed as a failure of the body to properly
metabolize
carbohydrates. Its defining
symptom is a high blood glucose level. Type 1 Diabetes results from
insufficient insulin production by the pancreas. Type 2 Diabetes
results from ineffective insulin. In both types, the blood glucose
level remains elevated. Neither insufficient insulin nor ineffective
insulin can limit post prandial (after eating) blood sugar to the
normal range. In established cases of Type 2 Diabetes, these elevated
blood sugar levels are often preceded and accompanied by chronically
elevated insulin levels and by serious distortions of other endocrine
hormonal markers.
The
ineffective insulin is no different from effective insulin. Its
ineffectiveness lies in the failure of our cell population to respond
to it. It is not the result of any biochemical defect in the insulin
itself. Therefore, it is appropriate to note that this disease is a
disease that affects almost every cell in the seventy trillion or so
cells of our body. All of these cells are dependent upon the food
that we eat for the raw materials that they need for self repair and
maintenence.
The
classification of diabetes as a failure to metabolize carbohydrates
is a traditional classification that originated in the early 19th
century when little was known about metabolic diseases or about
metabolic processes.15
Today, with our increased knowledge of metabolic processes, it would
appear quite appropriate to define Type 2 Diabetes more fundamentally
as a failure of the body to properly metabolize fats and oils. This
failure results in a loss of effectiveness of insulin and in the
consequent failure to metabolize carbohydrates. Unfortunately, much
medical insight into this matter, except at the research level,
remains hampered by its 19th century legacy.
Thus Type
II Diabetes and its early hyperinsulinemic symptoms are whole body
symptoms of this basic cellular failure to properly metabolize
glucose. Each cell of our body, for reasons which are becoming
clearer, find themselves unable to transport glucose from the blood
stream to their interior. The glucose then either remains in the
blood stream, is stored as body fat or as glycogen, or is otherwise
disposed of in urine.
It
appears that when insulin binds to a cell membrane receptor, it
initiates a complex cascade of biochemical reactions inside the cell.
This causes a class of glucose transporters known as GLUT 4 molecules
to leave their parking area inside the cell and travel to the inside
surface of the plasma cell membrane. When in the membrane, they
migrate to special areas of the membrane called caveolae areas.16
There, by another series of biochemical reactions, they identify and
hook up with glucose molecules and transport them into the interior
of the cell by a process called endocytosis. Within the cells
interior, this glucose is then burned as fuel by the mitochondria to
produce energy to power cellular activity.
Thus
these GLUT 4 transporters lower glucose in the blood stream by
transporting it out of the bloodstream into all of our bodily cells.
Many of
the molecules involved in these glucose and insulin mediated pathways are lipids,
that is they are fatty acids. A healthy plasma cell membrane, now
known to be an active player in the glucose scenario, contains a
complement of cis type w=3 unsaturated fatty acids.17
This makes the membrane relatively fluid and slippery. When these cis
fatty acids are chronically unavailable because of our diet, trans
fatty acids and short and medium chain saturated fatty acids are
substituted in the cell membrane. These substitutions make the
cellular membrane stiffer and more sticky and inhibit the glucose
transport mechanism.18
Thus, in
the absence of sufficient cis omega 3 fatty acids in our diet, these
fatty acid substitutions take place, the mobility of the GLUT 4
transporters is diminished, the interior biochemistry of the cell is
changed and glucose remains elevated in the bloodstream.
Elsewhere
in the body, the pancreas secretes excess insulin, the liver
manufactures fat from the excess sugar, the adipose cells store
excess fat, the body goes into a high urinary mode, insufficient
cellular energy is available for bodily activity and the entire
endocrine system becomes distorted. Eventually pancreatic failure
occurs, body weight plummets and a diabetic crisis is precipitated.
Although
there remains much work to be done to fully elucidate all of the
steps in
all of these pathways, this
clearly marks the beginning of a biochemical explanation for the
known epidemiological relationship between cheap engineered dietary
fats and oils and the onset of Type 2 Diabetes.
Orthodox medical
treatment
After the
diagnosis of diabetes, modern orthodox medical treatment consists of
either oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin.
In
1955, oral hypoglycemic drugs were introduced. Currently available
oral hypoglycemic agents fall into five classifications according to
their biophysical mode of action.19
These classes are:
- Biguanides
- Glucosidase inhibitors
- Meglitinides
- Sulfonylureas
- Thiazolidinediones
The biguanides lower blood
sugar in three ways. They inhibit the normal release, by the liver,
of its glucose stores, they interfere with intestinal absorption of
glucose from ingested carbohydrates and they are said to increase
peripheral uptake of glucose.
The
glucosidase inhibitors are designed to inhibit the amylase enzymes
produced by our pancreas and which are essential to the digestion of
carbohydrates. The theory is that if the digestion of carbohydrates
is inhibited the blood sugar cannot be elevated.
The
meglitinides are designed to stimulate the pancreas to produce
insulin in a patient that likely already has an elevated level of
insulin in their bloodstream. Only rarely does the doctor even
measure insulin levels. This drug is frequently prescribed without
any knowledge of preexisting insulin levels. The fact that elevated
insulin levels are almost as damaging as elevated glucose levels is
widely ignored.
The
sulfonylureas are another pancreatic stimulant class designed to
stimulate the production of insulin. Serum insulin determinations are
rarely made by the doctor before prescribing this drug. This drug is
often prescribed for type II diabetics, many of whom already have
elevated ineffective insulin. These drugs are notorious for causing
hypoglycemia as a side effect.
The
thiazolidinediones are famous for causing liver cancer. One of them,
Rezulin, was approved in the USA through devious political infighting
but failed to get approval in England because it was known to cause
liver cancer. The first doctor that had responsibility to approve it
at the FDA refused to do so. It was only after he was replaced by a
more compliant official that Rezulin gained approval by the FDA. It
went on to kill well over 100 diabetes patients and cripple many
others before the fight to get it off the market was finally won.
Rezulin was designed to stimulate the uptake of glucose from the
bloodstream by the peripheral cells and to inhibit the normal
secretion of glucose by the liver. The politics of why this drug ever
came to market and then remained in the market for such an
unexplainable length of time with regulatory agency approval is not
clear.20
As of April 2000 law suits commenced to clarify this situation.21
Today
insulin is prescribed for both the Type I and Type II diabetics.
Injectable insulin substitutes for the insulin that the body no
longer produces. Of course, this treatment, while necessary to
preserving life for the Type I diabetic, is highly questionable when
applied to the Type II diabetic.
It is
important to note that neither insulin nor any of these oral
hypoglycemic agents exert any curative action whatsoever on any type
of diabetes. None of these medical strategies are designed to
normalize the cellular uptake of glucose by the cells that need it to
power their activity.
The
prognosis with this orthodox treatment is increasing disability and
early death from heart or kidney failure or the failure of some other
vital organ.
The third
step to a cure for this disease is to become informed and to apply an
alternative methodology that soundly based upon good science.
Alternative
medical treatment
Effective
alternative treatment that directly leads to a cure is available
today for some Type I and for many Type II diabetics. About 5% of the
diabetic population suffers from Type I diabetes; about 95% has Type
II diabetes.22
Gestational diabetes is simply ordinary diabetes contracted by a
woman who is pregnant.
For
the Type I diabetic an alternative methodology for the treatment of
Type I Diabetes was the subject of intensive research in the early
1990’s with several papers presented in the scientific
journals. This was done in modern hospitals in Madras, India and
subjected to rigorous double-blind studies to prove its efficacy.23
The protocol operated to restore normal pancreatic beta cell function
so the pancreas could again produce insulin as it should. This
approach was, apparently, demonstrated to be capable of restoring
pancreatic beta cell function where it had been lost. A major
complication lies in whether the antigens that originally led to the
autoimmune destruction of these beta cells have disappeared from or
remain in the body. If they remain, a cure is less likely; if they
have disappeared, the cure is more likely. For reasons which are not
at all clear, this promising line of research never matured and today
can be found only in the archives of a few obscure scientific
journals. Since absolutely no financial incentive exists to cure type
I diabetes, this methodology is not likely to reappear any time soon
and certainly not in the American orthodox medical community.
The
goal of any effective alternative program is to repair and restore
the body’s own blood sugar control mechanism. It is the
malfunctioning of this mechanism that, over time, directly causes all
of the many debilitating symptoms that make orthodox treatment so
financially rewarding for the diabetes industry. For Type II
Diabetes, the steps in the program are:24
Repair
the faulty blood sugar control system. This is done simply by
substituting clean healthy beneficial fats and oils in the diet for
the pristine looking but toxic trans-isomer mix found in attractive
plastic containers on room temperature supermarket shelves. Consume
only flax oil, fish oil and occasionally cod liver oil until blood
sugar starts to stabilize. Then add back healthy oils such as butter,
coconut oil, olive oil and clean animal fat. Read labels; refuse to
consume cheap junk oils when they appear in processed food or on
restaurant menus. Diabetics are chronically short of minerals; they
need to add a good quality broad spectrum mineral supplement to the
diet.
Control
blood sugar manually during the recovery cycle. Under medical
supervision, gradually discontinue all oral hypoglycemic agents along
with any additional drugs given to counteract their side effects.
Develop natural blood sugar control by the use of glycaemic tables,
by consuming frequent small meals, by the use of fiber, by regular
post prandial exercise, and by a complete avoidance of all sugars
along with the judicious use of only non-toxic sweeteners25.
Avoid alcohol until blood sugar stabilizes in the normal range. Avoid
caffeine as well as other stimulants; they tend to trigger sugar
release by the liver. Keep score by using a pin prick type glucose
meter. Keep track of everything you do with a medical diary.
Restore
a proper balance of healthy fats and oils when the blood sugar
controller again works Permanently remove from the diet all
cheap toxic junk fats and oils and the processed and restaurant foods
that contain them. When the blood sugar controller again
starts to work correctly, gradually introduce additional healthy
foods to the diet. Test the effect of these added foods by monitoring
blood sugar levels with the pin prick type blood sugar monitor. Be
sure to include the results of these tests in your diary also.
Continue
the program until normal insulin values are also restored after
blood sugar levels begin to stabilize in the normal region.
Once blood sugar levels fall into the normal range the pancreas will
gradually stop over producing insulin. This process will typically
take a little longer and can be tested by having your physician send
a sample of your blood to a lab for a serum insulin determination. A
good idea is to wait a couple of months after blood sugar control is
restored and then have your physician check your insulin level. It’s
nice to have blood sugar in the normal range; it’s even nicer
to have this accomplished without excess insulin in the
bloodstream.
Separately
repair the collateral damage done by the disease. Vascular
problems caused by a chronically elevated glucose level will normally
reverse themselves without conscious effort. The effects of
retinopathy and of peripheral neuropathy, for example, will usually
self repair. However when the fine capillaries in the basement
membranes of the kidneys begin to leak due to chronic high blood
glucose, the kidneys compensate by laying down scar tissue to prevent
the leakage. This scar tissue remains even after the diabetes is
cured and is the reason why the kidney damage is not believed to self
repair.
A word of
warning: when retinopathy develops a temptation will exist to have
the damage repaired by laser surgery. This laser technique stops the
retinal bleeding by creating scar tissue where the leaks have
developed. This scar tissue will prevent normal healing of the fine
capillaries in the eye when the diabetes is reversed. By reversing
the diabetes instead of opting for laser surgery, there is an
excellent chance that the eye will heal completely. However if laser
surgery is done, this healing will always be complicated by the scar
tissue left by the laser.
The
arterial and vascular damage done by years of elevated sugar and
insulin and by the proliferation of systemic candida will slowly
reverse due to improved diet. However, it takes many years to clean
out the arteries by this form of oral chelation. Arterial damage can
be reversed much more quickly by using intravenous chelation26
therapy. What would normally take many years through diet alone, can
often be done in six months with intravenous therapy. This is reputed
to be effective over 80% of the time. For obvious reasons, don’t
expect your doctor to approve of this, particularly if he is a heart
specialist.
The
prognosis is usually swift recovery from the disease and restoration
of normal health and energy levels in a few months to a year or more.
The length of time that it takes to effect a cure depends upon
how long the disease was allowed to develop. For those who quickly
work to reverse the disease after early discovery, the time is
usually a few months or less. For those who have had the disease for
many years, this recovery time may lengthen to a year or more. Thus,
there is good reason to get busy reversing this disease as soon as it
becomes clearly identified.
By the
time you get to this point in this article, and, if we’ve done
a good job of explaining our diabetes epidemic, you should know what
causes it, what orthodox medical treatment is all about and why
diabetes has become a disgrace both in the US and world wide. Of even
greater importance, you have become acquainted with a self help
program that has demonstrated great potential to actually cure this
disease.
Thomas
Smith is a reluctant medical investigator having been forced into
curing his own diabetes because it was obvious that his doctor would
not or could not not cure it. He has published the results of his
successful diabetes investigation in his self help manual entitled
“Insulin: Our Silent Killer” written for the
layman but also widely valued by the medical practitioner. This
manual details the steps required to reverse Type II Diabetes and
