Do Diabetics Need Supplementation |
Diabetics need to understand their metabolism is not normal. It is inefficient
and does not work right. This means the rules for diabetics and non-diabetics,
in many cases will be different. The metabolism problems of diabetics will
influence the kinds of supplements they should take, the amounts, and the times.
First, the idea of supplementation is to add natural substances to the body in
case a person is not getting everything he needs from eating. A common belief is
all the nutrition we need can be accessed through the food we eat. However, how
many people, short on time and overburdened with responsibilities, realistically
have the ability to prepare and eat scientifically optimal meals that will
provide the even basic, much less supercharged, nutritional components?
Still, even if most people were able to feed their bodies properly from food
alone there would still be problems. One is the nutrient value of many foods is
diminished by food processing. Another problem is cooking destroys valuable
vitamins, even in organic produce. The quality of food produced nowadays is not
the level of earlier this century. Farmland used to be full of vital components
found in your foods. Today, continuous farming of the land has lead to depleted
soils, which affect the quality of food produced, even organic farmlands. Still,
it is your choice to decide if you believe you are getting the highest quality
foods in the right amounts for optimal health. However, diabetics have a chronic
disease that is stressful. This make it even more difficult to get everything a
diabetic needs from food than a non-diabetic.
Diabetics have many chronic health conditions that can greatly benefit by
supplementation. The nature of diabetic disease results in stress to your body.
This stress leads to the body depleting itself of vital substances or the need
of your body for greater quantities of nutrients to combat stress. For example,
stress from diabetes leads to a depressed immune system. Your white blood cells
are depleted, your thymus shrinks, your spleen shrinks, and your lymph nodes
shrink. This leads to inefficiency and depressed function. Therefore the immune
system needs help to restore your former levels of immunity. We have already
mentioned in other articles throughout this web site different natural
substances that improve the immune system. You can supplement them to aid your
body in boosting immunity. Obviously, if your immune system is already
depressed, it can use help. Also natural substances that detox your body ease
the load of stress. We have also mentioned many of the detox substances
throughout the web site. The detox system of a diabetic is overworked and
supplementation can help. A key point that is usually overlooked is the doses
for diabetics are normally higher than for a healthy non-diabetic. The reason is
that many things are depleted due to the chronic stress of diabetes. Therefore
you need more nutrients for normal function and to help you to combat the stress
of diabetes. If you use the product on this web site called DiabetezeKontrol
then many of the substances that can be beneficial to detox and boost immunity
for diabetics are included in the product.
Another problem diabetics have is elevated blood sugar and/or insulin
resistance. This means many aspects of the metabolism are inefficient. This
results in many nutrients working inefficiently in your body. Additional
supplementation of many nutrients may be required to overcome the inefficiency
of your body and the depletion of nutrients due to the stress of diabetes. In
other words, supplementation can be a great aid to help depleted and overworked
functions of your body. The product DiabetezeKontrol, on this web site, contains
many substances that aid glucose regulation and help reduce stress.
Type II diabetes can also have a condition of hyperinsulinism. This means your
body is overproducing insulin; so there is too much insulin in your bloodstream.
This results in excess triglycerides in the bloodstream, insulin resistance,
imbalance of hormones, and many other problems. Supplementation can aid in
minimizing the blood sugar fluctuations that start off the overproduction of
insulin by the pancreas. DiabetezeKontrol is specifically designed to help
minimize blood sugar fluctuations. It does this by the use of certain natural
substances and certain combinations of substances. It also does this by the
timing of the doses and by the overall formula used.
One note about modern medicine's use of insulin in type II diabetes. Type II
diabetes is a condition of hyperinsulinism. Modern medicine treats
hyperinsulinism by adding more insulin! There is no other hormonal treatment
using the idea of adding more to existing amounts already too high. For example,
if your thyroid is overproducing the doctor will attempt to reduce it. If your
estrogen is too high the doctor will attempt to reduce it. If your testosterone
is too high the doctor will attempt to reduce it. Yet high levels of insulin are
treated by adding more insulin! It would seem that modern medicine should
readjust its thinking and go with the flow of other treatment ideas. Modern
medicine may need to focus on treatments that can improve diabetes and lower the
needs of insulin requirements. There are researchers, scientists, and even MD's
that are aware of this seemingly illogical approach by the modern medical
establishment. Many of these more aware researchers, scientists, and MD's are
actively seeking to change the idea of just adding more insulin for a diabetic.
For example, a few new approaches are such drugs as avandia and metformin, which
re-sensitizes your body to its own insulin. One active group of doctors that are
focusing on new approaches are the A-4 doctors, known as the anti-aging doctors.
Diabetics should consider consulting with them. Their national number is
773-528-4333.
In relation to supplementation, another problem diabetics have is nerve damage.
If the nerves are being damaged, then the body needs specific nutrients to
repair and heal, to replenish depleted nutrients, and to nourish the nerves with
essential nutrients needed for nerve health. Obviously, if damage is going on,
then you need to increase your nutrient levels to aid in combating the problems.
Presently, the current line from the medical establishment is there is no cure
for nerve damage and the best method to minimize nerve damage is tight sugar
control. The problem is doctors do not study nutrition. For example, I own a
medical book called, "Principles of Internal Medicine" by Harrison
10th edition. This is a 2200 page medical book using small print. It has only
one chapter on nutrition! Diabetes is a nutritional based disease and doctors
know very little about nutrition. This may explain why no significant treatment
has emerged in the decades since the discovery of insulin. Often, doctors have
dieticians consult diabetes patients. The problem is dieticians do not always
understand all the aspects of diabetes such as fiber needs, glycemic index, many
small meals, specific protein needs for diabetics, supplements diabetics need,
and many more aspects. There is a system of medicine that specializes in these
aspects mentioned above. It is called orthomolecular medicine. We often refer to
Dr. Bob on this web site. He practiced orthomolecular medicine. You can go the
web site www.restoreunity.org and find a list of orthomolecular doctors. The
modern medical establishment does not seem to offer much hope. Furthermore, some
of the substances that can aid the nerves are included in DiabetezeKontrol
product. Although most diabetics who try this product do so to control blood
sugar, we still have added nutrients for nerves to help diabetics. So far many
diabetics have said tingling in the hands and feet have disappeared or improved
using DiabetezeKontrol.
There are many pathologies associated with diabetes such as heart disease,
kidney problems, loss of energy, and many other problems. Supplementation may be
a necessity to help diabetics combat the stress from side effects. One
particular example that appears on this web site involves homocysteine levels
and is contained in the article "Homocysteine and Diabetic Side
Effects." More and more research is pointing to high homocysteine levels as
the number one indicator of heart disease. A very effective way to aid this
problem is by supplementation that is explained in the article mentioned. In
other words, supplementation can be of great aid in many diabetic side effects.
In conclusion, many diabetics wonder if supplementation can help diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease that results in great stress to the body. You have to give
the body everything it needs, in the right amounts, to possibly overcome this
stress. The amounts needed are probably much greater than even optimal normal
diets. You must make a choice.
Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use
supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all
supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product
page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval.
Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.
WARNING: DO NOT STOP ANY TREATMENT OR MEDICATION YOU CURRENTLY USE. CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTS.
