What is Insulin Resistance and How It Effects Your Body.

There are 17 million diabetics in the United States and 80 million more who are in some stage of insulin resistance. A diet high in carbohydrates and lack of nutrition are the two main factors in creating insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a “pre-diabetic” condition, which, when it gets extreme, becomes type 2 diabetes. Below are two doctors clarifying how this condition develops and its effects on the body:

“When cells become resistant to insulin, the receptors on their surfaces designed to respond to insulin have begun to malfunction.”

“It simply means that the receptors require more insulin to make them work properly in removing sugar from the blood. Whereas before they needed just a touch to lower it, now they need a continuous supply of excess insulin to keep blood sugar within normal range.”

“As time goes by, blood sugar rises higher and stays up longer after the carbohydrate meal despite the enormous amount of insulin mustered to lower it. Bear in mind that were your doctor to check blood sugar during this stage of developing insulin resistance, your blood sugar would be perfectly normal. The major silent change taking place is the ever-growing quantity of insulin needed to keep it that way.”
excerpted from Protein Power
by Doctors Michael and Mary Eades

“The liver becomes resistant first, then the muscle tissue, then the fat. What is the effect of insulin on the liver? It is to suppress the production of sugar by the liver.

“The sugar floating around in your body at any one time is the result of two things, the sugar that you have eaten and how much sugar your liver has made. When you wake up in the morning it is more of a reflection of how much sugar your liver has made. If your liver is listening to insulin properly it won’t make much sugar in the middle of the night. If your liver is resistant, those brakes are lifted and your liver starts making a bunch of sugar so you wake up with a bunch of sugar.

“The next tissue to become resistant is the muscle tissue. What is the action of insulin in muscles? It allows your muscles to burn sugar for one thing. So if your muscles become resistant to insulin it can’t burn that sugar that was just manufactured by the liver. So the liver is producing too much, the muscles can’t burn it, and this raises your blood sugar.

“Well the fat cells become resistant, but not for a while. It is only after a while that they become resistant. It takes them longer. Liver first, muscle second, and then your fat cells.

“So for a while your fat cells retain their sensitivity. What is the action of insulin on your fat cells? To store that fat. It takes sugar and it stores it as fat. So until your fat cells become resistant you get fat, and that is what you see. As people become more and more insulin resistant, they get fat and their weight goes up.

“But eventually they plateau. They might plateau at three hundred pounds, two hundred and twenty pounds, one hundred and fifty pounds, but they will eventually plateau as the fat cells protect themselves and become insulin resistant.

“As all these major tissues, this massive body becomes resistant, your liver, muscles and fat, your pancreas is putting out more insulin to compensate, so you are hyperinsulinemic [having an abnormally high level of insulin in the blood] and you’ve got insulin floating around all the time.

“Insulin floating around in the blood causes a plaque build up. Insulin causes the blood to clot too readily. Insulin causes cells that accumulate fatty deposits. Every step of the way, insulin’s got its fingers in it and is causing cardiovascular disease. It fills it with plaque, it constricts the arteries, it increases platelet adhesiveness and ability of the blood to coagulate [clot]. Any known cause of cardiovascular disease, insulin is a part of.”

“If you want to know if insulin sensitivity can be restored to its original state, well, perhaps not to its original state, but you can restore it to the state of about a ten year old.”

“You can increase sensitivity by diet and a lot of supplements.”

by Dr. Ronald Rosedale, noted Diabetic Specialist

Will You Eventually Need Dentures?

It seems like the dentist will get to a point when a tooth is loose and just figure it has to be pulled.  Not very good for your over dental health and setting you up for moving teeth in the future.

The do talk about nutrition but mostly about how sugar causes decay because the bacteria then can get into the teeth.   Funny, but bacteria can't live on sugar so why would it cause bacteria.....   Obviously not enough information because it is very odd for anyone to have all their teeth in their golden years.

So what do you need?   First, its a good idea to kill off and control any bacteria that might get into your mouth due to the de-mineralization and decay of your teeth.   

So let's start with what you do to handle bacteria that is causing the problem of gum disease or periodontal (around the tooth) disease.

More to come. 

The Healing Power of Vitamin C

Vitamin C was intensively studied for over 70 years by the medical profession. Most of what was found in terms of the healing power of this vitamin has never been broadly published.

If the general public were made aware of what proper supplementing with vitamin C could do, and people took the correct amounts to meet their individual needs, the sales of many drugs and medications would drop like a stone and the overall health and well-being of the population would skyrocket.

There are some wonderful benefits you can realize by supplementing with the correct amount of vitamin C. Here are the first few:

In a double-blind study of elderly patients hospitalized with severe bronchitis, those given 200 mg a day of vitamin C improved to a significantly greater extent than those who were given a placebo [Definition: a substance containing no active drug.]

When bruises (where skin turns blue to purple-colored that may turn yellow to dark brown over a few days) occur often and from minor, often unnoticed impacts, supplementing with 100 mg to 3,000 mg a day has shown to reduce bruising.

Vitamin C levels in the eye decrease with age. People who supplement with vitamin C develop far fewer cataracts, with doctors often recommending 500 to 1,000 mg a day as part of a cataract prevention program.

As a result of 21 closely monitored trials it was found that using 1,000 to 8,000 mg of vitamin C a day reduced how long the common cold persisted and the severity of symptoms by an average of 23%.

Sorbitol is a type of sugar that can collect in the body and damage the eyes, nerves and kidneys of people with diabetes. People who are diabetic appear to have low vitamin C levels. 2,000 mg of vitamin C a day lowers sorbitol in people with diabetes.

Glaucoma is an eye condition where there is additional pressure within the eye. It leads to loss of side vision, blurred vision, blind spots, seeing halos around lights, poor night vision, and if untreated, blindness. Supplementation with 2,000 mg a day can significantly reduce pressure within the eye. Much larger amounts are sometimes given.

23 controlled trials showed that vitamin C supplementation produces greater benefit for children than for adults. The review also found that a daily amount of 2,000 mg or more was better that 1,000 mg at reducing how long cold symptoms remained in children.

The finest and most effective vitamin C that will nourish the cells of your body is a food, is not man made chemicals like ascorbic acid. A whole food vitamin C is needed, that means that it is an actual food and recognized by the body as a food... NOT a chemical substitute.
