Lowering Blood Sugar Can Kill You

A study out of the New England Journal of Medicine 2008 involved 10,000 type2 diabetics. The patients that had their blood sugar lowered the most by drugs (including insulin and ones that increase insulin) had the HIGHEST DEATH RATE and HEART ATTACKS.

HIGH BLOOD SUGAR CAUSES:

  • Blood vessel damage
  • Nerve and brain damage
  • Kidney damage
  • Increased death rate from heart disease and strokes

HIGH INSULIN CAUSES:

  • Increased belly body fat
  • Weight gain
  • Inflammation and body pain
  • Dementia
  • Depression
  • Vascular damage
  • Increased cancer propensity

Type 2 diabetes is a disease of too much insulin. The problem is with the insulin resistance of the tissues and organs. The insulin hormone is trying to carry the sugar into your muscles and other organs, but there is a resistance to that were the sugar isn’t readily getting in. As a result your body starts making even more insulin to lower the escalating sugar levels in the blood stream.

THIS STUDY SHOWS THAT USING THE BLOOD SUGAR DRUGS THAT INCREASE INSULIN LEVELS CAN INCREASE DEATH RATE IN DIABETICS. MANY OF THE DRUG TREATED DIABETIC PATIENTS I SEE GET MANY NEW PROBLEMS WITHIN A YEAR OF THE DRUG PROTOCOLS- ESPECIALLY WEIGHT GAINDEPRESSION, AND PAIN.

High blood sugar and insulin is best addressed through diet and natural means versus drugs. We typically have patients keep a daily blood sugar log. What commonly happens on a sensible course of care is a steady lowering of blood sugar levels and all blood test parameters returning to normal.

Gas and Bloating

Gas and Bloating: Candida, Yeast, Parasites, and Foreign Bacteria Overgrowth.

  • Gas, bloating, constipation/diarrhea, stomach and abdominal pain, gastroesophageal reflux
  • Skin issues: acne, itching, rashes
  • Food allergy and sensitivities
  • Hormone disorders
  • Fatigue, Mental health: depression

Poor digestive powers make less stomach acid and digestive enzymes to kills the invisible microbes in your food and to digest your meals completely. When not working well, meals rot, putrefy, and ferment in the intestinal tract. The fermentation can also cause reflux of the poorly digested meal back up toward the esophagus.

Spinal misalignments between the shoulder blade area can affect the neurologic production of enzymes and stomach acid. In animal studies, researchers at the A.T. Still Research Institute found that when the thoracic vertebraes that are neurologically connected to the stomach area are displaced, the animals produced less digestive enzymes.  If the thoracic subluxation persisted, the animals commonly would develop gastrointestinal inflammatory damage. In people, the stomach pain typically starts decreasing with the first chiropractic treatment.

Weak digestive powers let bacteria, parasites, and every kind of foreign microbe into your body. As they start to populate the intestines, bloating, gas, and allergies start to develop. As it persists, you get inflamed damaged intestinal tissue.

The damaged inflamed intestines leads to the Leaky Gut condition, where toxic waste, microbes, and undigested allergens can get into the bloodstream. This leads to liver problems in how it regulates everything in the blood stream.

Case 1: Depressed, bloated, allergies with mucus and coughing, extreme fatigue, mental fog, run down. After reviewing the history and many current problems, Dr. Majercin performed an exam where he checked acupuncture points on the body that correspond to organs, infections, and various body functions. The only test point that showed abnormal was the parasite point. A specific herbal detox protocol was set up. About 6 weeks later worms were coughed out of the lungs! All symptoms improved or cleared completely. Mental fog gone. Allergies gone. She noticeably walked and talked faster.

Case 2: Stomach ulcer pain, nausea, gas, reflux, bloating, fatigue, low back pain at night, anxiety, weight gain. The exam found 3 spinal bones displaced affecting digestion, a hiatal hernia, and abnormal acupuncture points for digestive enzyme production, bowel toxicity, emotional distress, prostate, and virus. His spine was put on a corrective adjustment protocol, his stomach was pulled down with a soft tissue technique to keep the valve shut, and natural medicine protocol was done for the imbalances found. 12 weeks later, “Overall I feel great! I have lots of energy. I am in a happy mood most of the time!” Stomach pain gone. Reflux gone. Low back pain gone. Lost 10lbs. Bloating and gas gone.

Case 3: Fibromyalgia, weight gain, fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, swollen lymph nodes, neck pain, back pain, numb arm and hands, colitis, depression, high blood pressure, tinnitus, gas and bloating. The patient explored different types of medical and non medical care to treat her autoimmune issues without any success. She was getting sicker and sicker. The exam found her to have spinal subluxations causing pain, arm and hand numbness, weakened immunity and digestive issues. She had abnormal acupuncture points for virus, heart, brain, liver, and adrenal glands. A 6 month protocol of natural medicine and chiropractic care was set up. Her rheumatologist was amazed that her rheumatoid antibody blood test went normal. She had lots of energy. Lost 20lbs. Numbness in arms was gone. Neck and back pain gone. Bowels were normal. Bloating was gone. Blood pressure was normal. Not depressed!

Peanutbutter Collagen Protein Cookies

Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Collagen™ provides three potent sources of collagen with benefits spanning from gut support, joint health, healthy skin support, immunity support and support for cognitive function. Types I and III are the major components of skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, gums, teeth, eyes and blood vessels.
Together, Types I and III collagen make up more than 90 percent of the collagen in our bodies.Type II collagen is targeted for gut and joint health plus healthy immune function.” These health benefits are why many ancient cultures made and consumed bone broth, but I personally think peanut butter cookies are a much tastier way to support the health of your skin, hair, gut, and joints.

Recipe:

  1. Combine 1 egg, 1 cup organic peanut butter, and 1/2 cup sucanat(or maple sugar, coconut sugar, or your favorite sweetener)

New Anti-Aging Science

Scientists can look at a cell of any person under a microscope, not knowing anything about them, and tell their age and how many more years they have left to live.
Inside every cell of your body you have chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell. The very ends of the chromosomes are called telomeres. Telomeres shorten each time our cells divide. As telomeres shorten, we age progressively and die.

It’s important to realize that telomere shortening can be accelerated by an unhealthy lifestyle. Obesity, chronic inflammation, psychological stress, environmental pollutants, and smoking, all cause production of free radicals. Free radicals can cleave telomeres, which speeds up the telomere shortening process.

Although you cannot control the rate of your natural telomere shortening process, you CAN control this accelerated telomere shortening, by eating healthy (anti-inflammatory and antioxidant rich diet), getting to your normal body weight, controlling emotional distress, taking antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplements, and increasing glutathione levels in the body.

Accelerate aging and Telomere Shortening

  • Obesity
  • Smoking
  • Emotional stress
  • Inflammation

Supplements that Decelerate Aging and Stop Telomere Premature Shortening

  • Cold processed whey protein- Increases glutathione levels that slows telomere shortening.
  • ALA/ALC- Strongest known antioxidant.
  • Inflam-Ox- Stops free radicals from shortening telomeres and stops chronic inflammation.
