Adult-onset, Type II, diabetes is a curable condition. Yes, I proudly use the “cure” word. Afrezza sounds great but it is still just a symptom-based, long-term management approach. Type II sufferers, quite simply, need a full body oil change. The hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils used in the majority of processed food products turn into trans fats when heated. These bad fats get incorporated into cellular membranes and interfere with the binding properties of the membrane-bound insulin receptors. Raising the concentration of insulin in the bloodstream is then needed to counteract the low binding affinity of the receptors for insulin and normalize the glucose utilization for all body cells. This chronic hyperinsulinemia eventually leads to all of the hideous problems suffered in late term disease. Elimination of the bad fats is essential. It takes time but it’s the only solution. The ketogenic diet is a good one for anybody. My own diet is 80% raw and organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs and spices (e.g. turmeric, ginger root, broccoli sprout powders), eggs from free-ranging healthy birds, lots of high quality nutritional supplements, and pure mineralized water. Those who cook should use real butter, coconut oil, red palm oil, olive oil, etc. and take digestive enzymes to replace the living enzymes which are destroyed in the heating process. Add a capsule of black pepper extract (Bioperine), which will increase absorption of nutrients by up to 40%, with all meals. Then brace yourself for vigorous health, patriots…
Iodine is, indeed, very important. I add Bragg's kelp seasoning to my salads and also take a diatomic iodine supplement each evening before bed (Nutriodine, www.nutramedical.com). Iodine, in addition to being a critical macro-mineral, is also your best protection against fluoride accumulation in critical organs such as the thyroid and pineal gland.
