TYPE II DIABETES: The Fastest Growing Disease in the West
The top 3 ways to cure diabetes type II – that work!
You sit in the doctor’s office and the doctor comes in, sits down with a serious look and says, “You have diabetes.” Your heart rate goes up; you get that “sinking feeling” as though you’d just received a death sentence. The doctor seems very worried and hands you several prescriptions, telling you to take the pills to bring down your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. You leave in a daze, fill the prescriptions and go home.
This scene is played-out thousands of times every day in doctor’s offices all over the world. People believe they are getting the best treatment for an incurable disease because that’s what everyone is doing. However, this is not true.
Type II diabetes is completely curable and preventable. Think of it this way: you lived for many years without diabetes, then something changed and you were diagnosed with “diabetes.” Is it possible to go back and no longer have diabetes? Absolutely! It is done every day by natural physicians and regular people like you. What you need is not drugs, but information.
There are several factors that contribute to the metabolic problem that we call diabetes. First of all, it is a “disease” of too much energy. The body becomes lazy and inefficient at using energy because there is a constant supply of simple sugars. The liver stops making the enzymes needed to use fat for energy so people store all their fat. Because of this, even if you eat less, you will just store all the fat. Thus, it seems impossible to lose weight.
However, there is a way to reverse this process. This home cure works.
The top three ways to cure diabetes type II are:
In fact, just quit eating so much. The best way to tell if you are eating too much is by body fat. If you have more than 20% body fat, you eat too much – no matter how much that is. I have people tell me they only have one small meal a day, but they weigh over 200 lbs! They still need to eat less.
Only eating less has been proven to cure diabetes. Everything else is an adjunct to these. People who have their stomachs shrunk surgically begin to drop their blood sugar before they even lose a pound of weight because they can’t eat. Consider this: people suffer through this surgery and all its complications just to eat less.
All the published diets that work restrict calories. This is not rocket science – it’s so simple a caveman could do it (and often did when there was no food to hunt or gather).
Alcoholics must give up liquor; smokers must give up cigarettes, and diabetics must give up food. If you can face this reality, then you are on Easy Street!
The first thing to give up is prepared foods. Prepared foods are made for taste, not health. That means every restaurant, box, bag, can or bottle. None of it is healthy, especially the ones that use the word “healthy,” “low-fat,” “low carb,” or some such similar wording. “If it has a list of ingredients, it can causes diabetes” is a good rule-of-thumb. And, yes, restaurants only make food for taste, even the “healthy” ones. A salad at Wendy’s has more calories than their hamburger meal by the time you add the dressing.
The next thing to give up is all your favorite foods, such as:
- Pizza
- Pasta
- Bread
- Cereal
- Candy
- Soda
- Diet drinks
- Tortillas
- Chips
- Juice
- Cake
- Cookies
- Artificial sweeteners
People then ask me, “What do I eat?” Fiber. Lots of fiber. The more fiber in the diet (not pills, drinks, or supplements) the less likely people will have diabetes. This means:
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Whole grains
- Beans
- Nuts (TIP)
- Seeds
- Drink only water
Meat: Meat has concentrated calories and should be eaten sparingly. Fish is a good choice. You don’t need to have a meat dish with every meal. Try beans and brown rice for a complete protein.
.
Nuts and seeds keep you feeling full and steady blood sugar levels. Because they are high in calories, combine with other foods, like almonds with steamed vegetables and walnuts with oatmeal.
Once you have a healthy diet, eating only home-cooked meals, the next part is to eat less of it. You can get diabetes by overeating good food.
Fasting
In medical school we are told not to fast, but no reasons are given. There is nothing that has been proven to prolong life except severe calorie restriction, such as fasting. Thus, without any evidence to back it up your doctor will tell you not to fast.
Fasting is the single best thing you can do for your health. If you have diabetes it is the best way to cure your disease. Remember, this is a disease of too much food, or too many calories. The best way to reverse it is to cut off the supply.
There is no known limit. Every animal tested from monkeys to worms and yeast live about 30% longer with fewer conditions, diseases, and illnesses when they eat 50% fewer calories.
There are several tips you could use:
Drink water. People with diabetes will easily become dehydrated.
It is best to begin with one-day fasts, such as drinking only water from Saturday night to Monday morning. This could be done every week or once a month.
Three-day fasts could be done once a month. Don’t pig-out when breaking the fast – just eat a normal meal.
Exercise
Exercise is extremely important. Remember that the cells are inefficient at using energy; the way to make them more efficient is to use energy. Also, having more muscle mass helps keep your metabolism up.
Mixed exercises are best. Do some aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, cycling, and so forth every other day; on alternate days do resistance exercises such as sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, knee bends, and so forth.
Jack LaLanne still has the best programs on exercise and health. You can find them on You Tube. Or, have your doctor refer you to a good physical therapist who can start you on a program.
Supplements
There are a few supplements that can be helpful. There are several good “Diabetes Formulas” in health-food stores that contain:
- Chromium
- Vanadium
- Fish oil
- Cinnamon
- Other herbs
These are a great idea because they help you to be more efficient in your energy usage, but don’t take the place of your diet and exercise program.
All diabetics, including type II, should take Alpha Lipoic Acid, 300mg per day because it can prevent complications and diseases such as blindness, neuropathy and kidney failure.
The program may be simple, but it isn’t always easy. It requires a lot of changing. But, I can assure you, it’s worth the effort. This is the best home cure!
