DIABETES IS NOT A BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCE!

1. EYE PROBLEMS & BLINDNESS: Each year, 12,000-24,000 people become blind because of diabetic eye disease.

2. KIDNEY PROBLEMS:Kidney problems. About 38,000 people with diabetes develop kidney failure each year, and over 100,000 are treated for this condition.

3. AMPUTATIONS: About 82,000 people have diabetes-related leg and foot amputations each year.

4. HEART PROBLEMS:Heart problems. Heart disease and stroke cause about 65% of deaths among people with diabetes.

5. PREGNANCY COMPLICATIONS: About 18,000 women with preexisting diabetes deliver babies each year, and an estimated 135,000 expectant mothers are diagnosed with gestational diabetes. These women and their babies have an increased risk for serious complications.

6. FLU & PNEUMONIA (related deaths): Each year, 10,000-30,000 people with diabetes die of complications from flu or pneumonia. They are roughly three times more likely to die of these complications than people without diabetes.

7. SKIN PROBLEMS: No one knows how many people suffer from skin inflammation (neuropathy, neuritis) or are pre-diabetic. Skin problems based on this condition rob the body's ability to clear toxins, maintain immunity and/or protect itself from outside infections.

Diet pollution: Cupcakes, sugared cereals, chips and diet sodas are all vegetarian but don't nourish anyone no matter what their biochemical requirements may be. Eventually the nutritional deficiency will symptomatically show up in a doctor's office. When you are younger the body can cleanse the dead calories but when you pass 40-50 years all kinds of digestive problems will surface in overweight problems, digestive disease, diabetes, joint pain, insomnia, heart disease, etc.

Consumption of too many dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, ice cream) can produce iron deficiencies. Not only do these animal by products contain very low amounts of iron but they also block iron absorption even when fortified. Contrast this with kale which has 14 times more iron than a lean steak. The belief that meat and its by-products is the best source for protein strength can consumptively occupy the space where you would ingest vegetables, grains, fruits
and seeds which are high in overall nutrition. Yet, we are taught in grade school that milk is "nature's most perfect food", provided as a courtesy from the National Dairy Council.

Diabetes Research: Dr. Inder Singh took 80 diabetics patients and restricted their diet (low fat, 20- 30 grams a day, no sugar). Within 6 weeks, over 60% of the patients no longer needed insulin. Over time the percentage steadily increased with insulin requirements lowered. Numerous similar studies have duplicated the results.

"Too much of a Good Thing"

Throughout most history, people usually have eaten whatever they chose. Researching around the world, scientists have found that shortened life expectancy can be clearly correlated to the eating of flesh. Russian Kurgi, Greenlanders, Eskimos and the Laplanders eat the most meat in the world while having the lowest life expectancy-30 years. This shortened duration is not due entirely to their severe environment. Similar climate confronted by other peoples with a diet of little or no meat provided for longer life. 90 -100 years life expectancy is not unusual for Pakistan Hunzakuts, East Indian Todas, Yucatan Indians and a surprisingly large group of Russian Caucasians.

Here we are in the United States with the highest degree of medical technology in the world, the most moderate climate, the largest purchaser of animal meat and meat by-products while at the same time maintaining one of the lowest life expectancies of all industrialized nations.

Researchers tracking cultures living the longest have found that its not unusual for these peoples to live a life of quality. Work and play beyond 80 years and beyond is typical. A majority, attain 100 years remaining active and honored by all they live with. Absence of excess protein produces a slender, densely built frame.

THE CONSEQUENCE ON THE HUMAN BODY WHEN EATING A TOXIC DIET


Liver heat: When one ingests foods that disrupt the body's balance then there is always a negative result. Prolong the pattern of toxic food and a syndrome with the potential for irreversability may follow. In the case of eating red meat, the liver will usually increase its temperature by 5 degress. The liver heats up the meat fats and dense material in order to break it down so the digestive system can provide absorption of its nutrients. Whereas with vegetables, the temperature of the liver does not raise. The temperature increase of the liver has a pattern of disturbance to all organs.

Heat rises, cold lowers. When the liver heat rises through the body then the heat noticeably influences all the organs above it -

ORGAN

Lungs
Heart
Esophagus
Throat
Mouth
Teeth
Nose
Eyes
Ears
Brain
Hair
Blood

CONDITIONS

Asthma, phlegm, chest colds & pain, influenza, difficulty breathing
Palpitations, high blood pressure, heart attack, weakness, anxiety
Reflux, food retention
Phlegm & throat clearing, sore throat, laryngitis, tumor, cough
cankor sores, pus, pain, fungal infections, thrush
Gum inflammation & ulcers, abscess, weak & broken teeth,
Drainage, inflammation, nosebleed, congestion, difficulty breathing
Red eyes, dryness, inflammation, fuzzy vision, blindness
Ringing, infection, hearing deficiency, ear injury & bleeding
Poor memory & concentration, fever, hallucinations, stroke, coma
Baldness, thinning, hair follicle nutritional deficiency
Lack of energy, high cholesterol, toxic blood disrupts all organs

When the heat is interrupted then the negative characteristics cease. The ingestion of cold herbs and foods will change the infirmities and restore lost balance. This may sound simplified and may cause one to ignore this but I have had numerous cases of restoration.

My teacher had diabetes and while facing leg amputation, he was pressed to figure out solutions to most of the problems of diabetes. Below are those herb formulas which provide relief usuallly within an hour. Additionally, to remedy your diabetes, food therapy or diet is clearly described below.

While diabetes in the last 20 years has grown to epidemic levels in all 50 states of the U.S., there are some interesting contributors that are on the rise, also. Yes the food is more polluted with pesticide, hormones, unnatural vitamin fortification, etc. Another concern is stress and how it potentiates diabetes.

Food quality is another causative characteristic.
