Do You Understand What Causes Diabetes?

Something you learned 30 years ago may very well be responsible for your suffering.

Do you think that purchasing products that are “low-fat” and “no-fat” are helping you to lose weight and avoid heart disease?  That information is in your brain because of a study done by Ancel Keys. That study has laid the foundation for three decades of nutrition science, education and public policy.  The problem is that the study comes to conclusions that are just plain wrong.

If the label on that can or box says low or no fat, you can bet that the product tastes like cardboard without lots of extra sugar.  That sugar is doing more than just making you fat.  It is poisoning you.

Thanks to Richard Nixon’s war on poverty and his partnership with the USDA to bring down the price of food, High Fructose Corn Syrup was introduced in 1975 to replace sugar because it was cheap and readily available.

Fructose is even more poisonous to your body than sugar is.  Your body does not secrete insulin to digest fructose, because it is not recognized as a food.  Fructose has to be processed by your liver.

Bio-chemists know that the way your body reacts to fructose is all the evidence needed to prove that fructose is a poison rather than a food.

“Hey wait, the commercials on television say that moderate use of fructose is ok!”

I’ve seen that commercial.  You need to be aware that it is not safe.  It has never been tested safe.  There is no evidence that it is in fact safe.  As well, since it is in EVERYTHING you are using it more than moderately.

Fructose contributes to insulin resistance and weight gain.  That is why diabetes is SO much more prevalent today than it was 30 years ago.  The way fructose is metabolized, a high fructose diet is worse than a high fat diet.

Chemicals disguised as foods just do not nurture you.

Is There a Solution For Heart Failure?

Honestly, is there a solution for heart failure?  I mean, if there is, why is there an epidemic of heart failure occurring right now?

Surely if people could avoid this devastating disease, they would, right?

The problem is that heart failure is diagnosed after your weak heart has enlarged in an attempt to meet your needs.  Unfortunately, that is very late in the disease process.

I used to think that you can’t undo the enlarging of your heart.  However, I have had the pleasure of meeting half a dozen people over the past couple years, who have done exactly that.  Through nutritional therapy and detoxification, they regained the quality of their lives.

Until the proverbial “shit hits the fan”, most people live in denial.

You may not even notice symptoms that might alert your doctor to the impending doom.

However, even if you tell your doctor about your symptoms there may be no alarm sounded until it is too late.

Hey, let’s face it, if your doctor can’t drug it or surgically repair it, odds are, he or she can’t help you.

Unfortunately, he can run a bunch of tests and give you a clean bill of health.

If you are eating a diet high in saturated fat with plenty of processed foods, and rarely get off the sofa; that comforting bit of information could be your death sentence.

You may have NO warning of heart failure before your health and quality of life are lost.

Even if your health care provider has told you that your heart “is fine”,

Why Is Sleep So Important?

Why are American’s so proud of sleep deprivation?

Do you take pride in working yourself to death?

Sleep is SO important, because the fuel we burn is electricity, and you only make it while you sleep.

Out of gas?  Need coffee and other stimulants just to get through the day?

Change your attitude about sleep, and fill your gas tank.

It is this low fuel level that begins the process of all disease.  No matter what your diagnosis, your sickness began by neglecting to provide your body with the fuel it needs to do it’s job each day.

ALL Diseases follow a process that has 7 stages ending in cancer.

Often the disease process will kill us before it reaches this final stage, but never the less, all disease follows the same progression.

The best way to prevent ALL disease is to get PLENTY of sleep, and stop dis-ease, before it advances and becomes uncomfortable and dangerous.

The 7 Stages of Disease

1. nervous exhaustion (not enough fuel)
2. toxicity (resulting from lack of energy)
3. irritation (from building toxicity)
4. inflammation (that’s when you feel it!)
5. ulceration (toxicity eats away at tissues)
6. induration (your body tries to encapsulate the toxicity to protect itself)
7. cancer (when the cells of your harmonious organism turn against you)

Unfortunately, lots of damage is occurring way up at stage four, inflammation.  Most health care providers do not recognize disease until it has advanced to inflammation and is causing discomfort. At this point, interfering with your bodies attempt to do some house cleaning (detoxifying)will only further advance your disease. Build your health BEFORE you lose it if you have the choice.  However, it is NEVER too late to start building your health. Do you want to feel better? What can you do?

• Reduce and then stop using stimulants.

You don’t want to stop cold turkey if you are using stimulants habitually.  It could be harmful.  Wean yourself away slowly so your body doesn’t notice.  The QUALITY of your sleep will improve!

• Sleep 8 hours a night.

If you have a sleep debt, it may take quite some time to catch up, so you may need more sleep for a while.  If you stop breathing while you sleep, it is important to have a sleep study done.

• Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and try to eat foods in as close to their natural state as possible.

This will conserve energy, while giving you the building blocks you need without adding unnecessary toxicity for your body to deal with. Supplements may also be helpful.

• EXERCISE everyday!

If your health is already significantly compromised then you need to RESPECT your limits.  Your “exercise” ability may be no more than a walk down your hallway, or maybe lifting your arms and legs while remaining seated. With robust health, be just as active as you can!

• If you suspect low oxygen level, monitor closely and treat ALL occurrence of oxygen levels below 92% with supplemental oxygen.

Building health is impossible if your body is oxygen starved.

• Relax in quiet stillness daily.

Release tension or it will squeeze the life out of you.

• Build your breath!

Once you get rid of tension, you can work at more effectively using your lungs.  The size of your breath will determine the quality and length of your life.

• Avoid dehydration!

Sip water all day everyday.  That goes for everyone but those with kidney failure.  Water is necessary for life!  Retained water is trapped and not useful.  Sipping water will give you what you need, and encourage your body to release trapped fluid.  (If you have kidney trouble you should drink NOTHING BUT WATER for ALL the fluid you are allowed.) If you are retaining excessive fluid, USE OXYGEN to help reverse it.  You need to attend to your diet by adding whole foods and removing processed foods.  It is not enough to cut down on salt and saturated fat.

• Get exposure to direct sunlight daily.

Vitamin D is very important to health, and you can maintain healthy levels with sunshine, though it is suggested that you have your level checked if you are having ANY issues. There are many more benefits of sunlight.  The skin cancer scare is real, but so is the health draining problem of insufficient natural light.

• Laugh, laugh, laugh!

It truly is the BEST medicine.

Many blessings,

Carrie

Do You Eat Too Much Sugar?

The Center for Disease Control says that about one-third of all people with diabetes do not know they have it.

I keep meaning to write a post about diabetes.  Everywhere I go I am reminded that I need to write that diabetes post.

Life is keeping me so busy that I just haven’t had time to do research on diabetes.  I felt like I didn’t know enough, and needed to find more information.

Today it hit me!

All of us push this to the bottom of the to do list.  You know heart disease and diabetes are on the rise.  But you don’t take the time to evaluate what you are eating and make changes until some health problem forces you to.

Don’t wait to get sick!

The world eats 160 million tons of sugar.

Fluid Retention Steals Your Health, Want To Stop It?

Fluid retention is such a big problem because the extra water in your system is in the way!  Oxygen and vital nutrients can’t get where they need to go!

When oxygen and other vital nutrients cant’ get where they need to go, you deteriorate!

If you don’t want your health to fade, watch for signs that you may be retaining water:

• When you press your fingernail firmly into your thumb-pad, does it stay deeply dented for more than a second or two?
• When you press the tip of your finger into the inside of your shinbone, does your nail make a dent?
• Do your ankles ever swell?
• Does your shoe size increase as you get older?
• Do your rings sometimes not fit?
• Is your tummy ever tight and swollen?
• For women, do you suffer from breast tenderness?
• Does your weight fluctuate by several pound within the space of only twenty-four hours?

You should be concerned if you recognize water retention symptoms, even if your doctor isn’t!

If your symptoms are mild, make sure you pay close attention to: Read more
