diabetes
What
does diabetes have to do with cancer? Everything.
If you
don't believe it let me explain.
Yes,
diabetes "runs" in my family. I never thought it would happen to me because I
thought I ate well and limited my intake of fast foods. But I did not limit it enough
apparently because in November of 2005 I had my blood sugar tested by accident
while visiting my brother in the hospital. The nurse panicked at the reading
that was so high it did not register on the blood sugar meter. She told me I
must go to the emergency room immediately and get an insulin shot. I went home
confused and bewildered. What the heck happened? I never had any symptoms, or so
I thought. My blood pressure was low, I had lots of energy and I dismissed the
frequent urination to the couple of beers I had on any given day. You hear over
and over if it "runs" in the family you should be concerned. But what
exactly does that mean?
If
something like diabetes "runs" in the family it is because you are eating the food
your parents ate, and what your grandparents ate, and what your great
grandparents ate
...... see the connection? You may be predisposed to diabetes but that does NOT mean you have to get it.
Why
didn't I want to use prescription drugs to lower and control my blood sugar?
Because my brother, who has type 2 diabetes, was prescribed oral medication to control
his blood sugar and all it got him was a quintuple bypass, loss of sight in one
eye and a couple of toes lopped off. You see, after a period of time the drugs
just don't work anymore, then you have to start insulin shots and that is
something I just did not want to do. The American Diabetes Association says you
can eat 150 grams of carbohydrates a day! That's insane for a diabetic.
According to Dr. Richard Bernstein, a type 1 diabetic himself, following the
recommended diet as prescribed by the ADA does nothing to help either a
type 1 or type 2 diabetic. It actually worsens the disease. In his book,
Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution: The Complete Guide to Achieving
Normal Blood Sugars, Dr. Bernstein explains that keeping your blood sugar low and on a
even keel is the only thing that will help. It will actually lessen the use of
insulin for type 1 diabetics and may eliminate the need for oral medication
altogether for type 2 diabetics. See what he had to say on the
Early Show at CBS back in 2003.
Myth - Once you have diabetes there is nothing you can do. You
must listen to the doctor and take any medication he prescribes to lower
your blood sugar.
Fact - Diabetes is the easiest disease to reverse. With diet, exercise
and nutritional supplements you can reverse type 2 diabetes.
Myth - Type 2 diabetes is genetic. If others in your family have
type 2 diabetes chances are that you will get it.
Fact - That is nonsense. If you keep eating the way they do, you will
most likely get type 2 diabetes and so will the majority of people who eat
the same way. If you follow the recommendation of Dr. Bernstein by modifying
your diet and exercise on a regular basis you will not have high blood
sugar. But you must follow Dr. Bernstein's recommendations.
Myth - My doctor says the people who advocate the use of vitamins
are quacks.
Fact - People who use vitamins are healthier and more aware of how their
body is functioning. Doctors in this country are not trained in preventive
medicine therefore they do not believe in it. They are trained to
cut, remove and medicate. Your doctor is jealous because he is not getting a
kickback from the drug companies for the prescriptions he would be writing
for you. Instead you will be too healthy to require his services in the
future.
Those
are just some of the dispelled myths about diabetes and how to reverse its
progression. You must remember that natural remedies take time. If you
don't have the patience and determination you will lose and the diabetes will
win. Most people will complain that the "natural" way did not work for them. But
they don't or won't make a complete diet and lifestyle reversal. Instead they
will pick and choose what they like about the program, justify their cheating
and then complain that it did not work for them overnight.

Don't believe those television ads about corn syrup
not being harmful. The Corn Refiners Industry spent $30 million for
television ads promoting their product. Corn syrup is not natural and it
is worse than sugar. Read more about high fructose corn syrup here:

By now you must have realized that I don't promote the
use of sugar or sweetener in any form with the exception of Stevia and
Xylitol with Stevia being the first choice. Foods sweetened with
anything will turn your taste away from the natural foods that we as
humans were intended to eat. If your body has been used to eating sweet
deserts, soda and candy how can you appreciate the taste of a fresh
crisp apple or nice juicy strawberry? You can't, because they no
longer taste sweet.
Use you brain and choose your food wisely, you life
depends on it - I know.
Alternative sweeteners:
Stevia helps the
pancreas release insulin
Please stay away from Nutra-Sweet and
Equal.

Okay, that's great, but I still want to know about the connection to cancer.
cancer
I hear
people talking all the time about cancer. They say diet has nothing to do with
cancer. Well they are wrong. It has been proven that cancer cells survive in a
sugar environment. What the heck does that mean? It means if your blood
sugar is constantly high the cancer cells feed on that and grow. Not
convinced? When your doctor is trying to figure out whether or not you
have cancer guess what kind of test he orders? A PET scan. Positron
Emission
Tomography - is where they inject you with a small amount of a radioactive sugar
solution and watch to see the cancer cells going after it!!! If you don't
believe me here is the definition from the
National Cancer Institute. Pay special attention to where they say "cancer
cells often use more sugar than normal cells".
So
where does this leave us? Well not all people with diabetes will get cancer and
not all cancer patients will have diabetes. It is as individual as your body
type. You must find what works for you. But don't give up. Your body can heal
itself if given the right tools. Above all stay positive, your body will thank
you for it.

More information about holistic cancer
treatments:
Please don't assume the information
presented here about cancer is telling you to abandon your treatments
entirely. That is not the case. Of course prevention is the key but if
that still did not stop this insidious disease in its tracks you can
still arm yourself with information to ask your doctor about
treatment options and other complimentary non-medical procedures.
Chemotherapy is not the only answer but in some cases it can and does
become necessary. Helping you stay healthy during chemotherapy is the
ultimate goal. Some doctors will not accept the fact that you are
seeking alternate treatments. In fact, if some doctors knew what you may
be doing they might drop you as a patient.
The medical board would pull their license if they even suggested you do
something other than chemotherapy or radiation.
Quote taken from
Dr. William Kelley:
There are only three who care
about you: God, yourself and sometimes your mother.
So read, research and become informed
about your own body. After all, no one knows your body like you
do......... NO ONE.

A MUST read book if you
have or suspect you have diabetes. Other books on diabetes were good but this
was THE ONE book that helped me understand what I needed to do to reverse
diabetes. Dr. Bernstein is a saint and should be better respected by the ADA.
Imagine if we eliminated or greatly reduced diabetes - the ADA, the companies
that manufacture the monitors and test strips and the drug companies would be
out of business. Hmmmm...... makes you wonder if they are really there to help
you.
