Damaged Cell Receptors and Diabetes

Doctors prescribe pharmaceutical medications because they are merely handling a symptom and not the cause. Certain medications increases insulin secretion while others try to get the body to use it's own insulin more effectively and insulin injections are just that, more insulin.

Medical doctors usually try the oral medications first and when those are no longer effective or maxed out they then proceed onto insulin injections.

There can be a lot of insulin in the body, but the body is insulin resistant because of damaged cell receptors that don’t allow the insulin to do the job it needs to. Medocations introduce more insulin to force the sugar out of the body into the now damaged cell receptors. Your body just ends up building up more and more insulin resistance/tolerance so that the level of oral medications or injections only go up and up.

High sugar levels are only a symptom of the diabetic condition, they are not the diabetic condition itself. Using drugs to keep the blood sugar down is like having a fire burning in the living room and turning on the exhaust fan in the kitchen to pull the smoke out of the house. The fan pulls out the smoke (a symptom of the fire) but the fire is still burning, and will consume the house unless it is put out.

In the same way, the diabetic condition continues to get worse, until the condition (not just a symptom) is addressed and handled. You can see the progression in many cases, where the amount of medication needed to control blood sugar levels continues to increase, because the condition has not yet been handled.

What needs to happen is the body needs to resensitize the cells to the insulin your body is making and as a result will lower your blood sugar levels. Diet needs to be used to give you body a rest so that it isn’t dealing with a high amounts of sugar coming in. A low carbohydrate diet 20-30 carbohydrates a day is recommended until the cells repair themselves. Carbohydrates are just long chains of sugar molecules linked together. (Note: 20-30 carbohydrates does not include high levels of protein - 2-5 oz a meal is recommended. See Diet for Diabetics)

Congressman Paul on a Flu Scare - 2009

No this is NOT Dr. Senator Rand Paul but Dr.Congressman Ron Paul (his father). He puts things in perspective on things that should be done.

How Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes (Gut Bacteria) Affect Your Weight
by Qgenics | Jul 21, 2021 | Metabolic Syndrome, Nutrition

In his article “4 Ways to Get Firm by Lowering Firmicutes”, Alan Christianson, NMD, gives fascinating insight into the importance of having the correct ratio of gut bacteria if you want to achieve and maintain your ideal weight. When it comes to weight gain, his article explains that “it’s them, not you.”

Alan Christianson writes, “One of the biggest myths about obesity is that it’s caused by laziness or indulgence. It’s not. It’s caused by your body reacting to stressors.

“In response to stress, your body will store food to prepare for famine, and you will gain weight. Some stressors are obvious, but many are not. Some are as silent and invisible as the bacteria in our intestines.

“In a startling study(1), Dr. Gewirtz at Cornell University showed that the weight of mice could be changed by over 15 percent just by shifting their intestinal bacteria. Along with weight changes, the bacteria present changed the mice’s chemistry in ways that could predict heart disease, high blood pressure and risks for diabetes. Related work(2) has shown this same connection to intestinal bacteria also exists in humans. In fact, transplanting bacteria from the intestinal tracts of obese humans has been shown to trigger obesity in normal-weight mice.(3)

“How can bacteria cause weight gain, and how can you make sure your bacteria do not?

“First, it’s important to realize that 99 percent of our intestinal bacteria are unable to use oxygen. Bacteria that can’t use oxygen are called anaerobes. This is important because all the foods with bacteria (like sauerkraut and yogurt) — as well as all the bacteria in probiotic supplements – only contain bacteria that live in oxygen. These foods and supplements—terrific as they may be— have little or no effect on the anaerobes that run the show.

“Of the many types of anaerobes, the two that are most directly involved with obesity are the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. Most studies have shown that the more Bacteroidetes you have (compared to your Firmicutes), the leaner you will be. So, if you want to be firm and cute, you want more Bacteroidetes, and fewer Firmicutes.

“The reason these bacteria affect our weight is because they regulate how much fat we absorb. Imagine two identical twins eating exactly 2,000 calories, but with different ratios of Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes. The one with the higher ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes will absorb more calories than the other and be more apt to gain weight while eating the exact same diet. (4)

“In light of the growing rates of obesity, a good question to ask would be, “what is causing these bacteria to shift in ways that would lead to weight gain?

“One explanation is the remarkable changes in our lifestyle over the past few decades. We now:

Use more antimicrobial soaps and hand sanitizers.
Are exposed to more environmental pollutants.
Live under higher amounts of stress

“It’s easy to see the effect of the hand santizers and environmental pollutants. Antimicrobial soaps and hand sanitizers are problems because they kill good bacteria as well as bad ones. Environmental pollutants are toxic to good bacteria, just as they’re toxic to us.. But the connection of stress to bacteria is less obvious. How could stress affect bacteria?

“Here’s how. Mental and emotional stress triggers the release of adrenal stress hormones, like cortisol and adrenaline. These stress hormones act on the brain and stimulate the vagus nerve, an important nerve that forms a kind of circuit between the brain and the heart, lungs and, tellingly, the gut .. Stress reduces the blood supply needed to properly digest foods and manage the balance of bacteria. And this tie between your brain and gut is a two-way street, because stress hurts your digestion, and poor digestion makes you feel more stressed. When this vicious cycle gets rolling, your Bacteroidetes are reduced, and you gain weight more easily.

“Here are some things you can do to help yourself right now:

Eat a high-fiber diet with good carbs. Because Firmicutes are needed to absorb fats, higher fat diets cause you to have more of them, leading to weight gain.(5)

Avoid sugars and processed carbs. Firmicutes are so well-suited to grow on sugars that they’re known to grow rampantly in factories that process sugar-cane into table sugar.(6)
Raise your intake of beans. Beans are among the very best foods to raise your Bacteroidetes.(7) If you can’t digest beans, that’s likely a sign that you have too few Bacteroidetes. But rather than avoid beans completely, studies(8) have shown that if you add beans into your diet slowly, and stick with them, the symptoms will go away. To train your bacteria to digest beans well, I encourage you to add just 1 tablespoon of pinto beans daily to the evening meal for two weeks. After two weeks, most people are able to digest more typical amounts.

Sleep and eat on a regular schedule. Cutting-edge data(9) have shown that our intestinal bacteria have a rhythm that changes throughout the day just like our sleep-wake cycle. Shift work, jet lag and erratic meal times can hurt our good bacteria just like antibiotics can.

“The old way of thinking was that you could only get healthy through strenuous effort and deprivation.

“That wasn’t fun, and it didn’t work anyway.

“The new way of thinking about health is very different. Far from being based on pain and suffering, being truly healthy, lean and energized turns out to be a product of being at peace— and in sync with the world around you.”

Qgenics offers a supplement that provides the correct ratio of gut bacteria for better gut health, better overall health and easier weight loss. It’s Metabolic Boost and it’s available now.

The Truth about Neuropathy & Vitamins

All you have to do is search on the internet for vitamins to take for neuropathy and pages of articles come up regarding what natural method you can use to improve or relieve the neuropathy symptoms. Of course, they are all different. Some of them are similar, but not one agrees on what you should take.

So how to you wade through the confusion of it all and figure out what to take. 

Okay, here are the things you need to know. 

Neuropathy is nerve damage. The nerve tissue is damaged. 

We always recommend you take the approach of building health - and nerves are no different.  The body can build healthy nerves.

The body uses vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids in its daily task of energy production and replacing worn cells  If it doesn’t get these tools, it can’t build health.  And it can't build healthy nerves.

What does the body need to build healthy nerve tissue? 

Well, we know we can rule out the use of herbs. Herbs are medications. They force the body to do something it normally wouldn’t do, just like drugs. However, they are superior to drugs as they are natural not made in a laboratory. 

When using herbs you do need to know who is creating the herbal remedies as quality of the herb and manufacture of the herbal remedy can vary. But simply put, the body doesn’t use herbs to repair itself. 

A lot of articles written by medical doctors and medical professionals will only talk about using vitamins when the cause of the neuropathy was a deficiency of B12. 

But the simplicity is that the body uses amino acids, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids to build healthy tissue.

So what vitamins are actually needed for to build healthy nerves? *

B1 – Vitamin B1 functions along with other B vitamins to turn nutrients into energy, normal heart functions, formation of blood, HCL in the stomach for digestion, and proper functioning of muscles, Vitamin B1 supports the normal function of the nervous system. It is required for nerves to function correctly, and helps in the maintenance of healthy nerves. It is required for regulating the transmission of particular types of nerve signals along the brain and the spinal cord.

B12 –Vitamin B-12 is necessary in human health for the formation of proteins and red blood cells, and for the functioning of the nervous system. It is vitally important in maintaining the health of the outer sheathing (protective covering, also called the myelin sheath) that surrounds nerve cells. 

B2 - Vitamin B2 riboflavin helps produce red blood cells and protects the nervous system. 

B6 - Vitamin B6 helps in the production of neurotransmitters, the chemicals that allow brain and nerve cells to communicate with one another, ensuring that metabolic processes such as fat and protein metabolism run smoothly, Vitamin B6 helps the body make several neurotransmitters, chemicals that carry signals from one nerve cell to another. 

Folic Acid - Vitamin-B12 and folic-acid work together. Folic acid is needed to activate B12. Both vitamins together help nerves to function properly. 

D3 induces nerve growth factor production in the human body.

Together these vitamins give the body what it needs to get relief for neuropathy. 

You need to find a vitamin formula that has ALL the necessary ingredients. 

Where can I get the vitamins the body needs to build healthy nerves?
