Diabetes Mellitus is a result of problems with the pancreatic hormone insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood and the rate at which glucose is absorbed into the cells. The cells need glucose to produce energy. In people with diabetes, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of being taken into and used by the cells, leading to hyperglycemia (abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood). Eventually, hyperglycemia leads to damaged blood vessels, which in turn, may cause  eye disease, heart disease, peripheral and autonomic neuropathy (nerve damage to the limbs and internal organs), and diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease). There are two types of Diabetes Mellitus: type I or juvenile, and type II or adult-onset diabetes.

Most people know that diabetes has something to do with the function of a large gland called the pancreas, which lies just behind the stomach. However, from study and research into the cause of diabetes, it has been found that failure of the pancreas to function normally is not the only cause of this condition. The main cause of diabetes is eating an unbalanced diet consisting largely of sugars, fats, and starches, prepared so as to delight the eye and palate, but which are to a great extent denatured (refined).  Diabetes will continue to increase as long as people partake of artificial sweets, white flour products, tea, coffee, tobacco, liquor, Coca Cola, soft drinks, and all denatured food and harmful drinks.  

Diabetes is not a plague that falls on one's head one day. It is mostly a self-imposed affliction by improper food and lifestyle choices that leads to pancreas overwork and eventually degeneration. Do not overeat, do not eat unhealthy fats and refined products, move often, and you should not be afraid to become insulin-dependent. Being overweight (especially if the weight is concentrated around the mid-section) is a significant risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. With proper nutrition and regular physical activity, you can reduce your risk of getting Diabetes.

Medical Treatment for Diabetes

The goal of medicine is to control symptoms. It involves constant monitoring of glucose levels and plasma glucose levels. The objectives of this control are twofold: 

1)      to avoid ketoacidosis (accumulation in the body of the ketone bodies resulting from the incomplete combustion of fatty acids).

2)      to control symptoms resulting from hyperglycemia (high sugar levels in the blood) and glucosuria (abnormal amounts of sugar in the urine).  

There are 3 forms of insulin currently in use: fast-, intermediate-, and long-acting. Most insulin is made from beef or beef/pork pancreas.

Side effects of insulin: 

• Main problem with insulin is that it is virtually impossible to know how much. Insulin shock may occur if too much insulin is taken.
• Local reactions to insulin, often occurring during the first few weeks of insulin therapy, most commonly consist of stinging or itching at the injection sight followed by heat, induration, erythema, and an urticarial reaction. Systemic reactions may include hives, urticaria, cardiopulmonary or gastrointestinal symptoms, and rarely, anaphylactic reactions.

Is this condition incurable? Is there any hope? 

Fortunately, there is a great hope. We've seen people suffering from diabetes type II for 15 and 22 years, who were completely able to go off insulin and now live diabetes-free life. People with diabetes type 1 can considerably reduce their insulin dosage and live a much happier, normal life. We know at least about 1 person with juvenile diabetes who stopped taking insulin at all! This person's name is Sergey Boutenko, and about his story you can read on the web-site www.rawfamily.com.  

It is totally normally for the body to be healthy, and it is easy for it to do, if we provide it with all it needs.

Vibrant health is not acquired by money, it is restored by your body itself dollar-free! Why to control diabetes, if you can get over it? Try and see whether it will work for you!

Here is how to assist your body to heal itself: 

• Three simple things you can do:  
  • Consume super green foods, such as chlorella, Spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass,  or even better – fresh vegetable and green  drinks or green smoothies. Avoid fruit juices, though.  
  • The skin is the largest organ of elimination. Encourage it to expel toxins by giving yourself a dry brush from head to toe every morning and night.  
  • Drink a glass of clean water every two waking hours to rid your body of toxins.
  • Balanced diet consisting of unrefined foods. The most important therapy for diabetes is a healthful diet. The healthiest foods are those that were given by God at the creation: fresh vegetables, fruit, unroasted and unsalted nuts and seeds, greens, grains and legumes. Can people with diabetes eat fruit? Yes, if it is not juiced. Enjoy plenty of berries, plums, and grapes which also contain phytochemicals that protect your vision. Focus on quality fats, which are in abundance in fresh nuts, seeds, avocado, and flax seeds. A table spoon of grounded flax seeds in your salad daily will provide you with a good amount of omega 3-6-9 fats. Have you heard that hemp seeds contain more omega-3 than fish?  
  • Increasing consumption of fresh, raw produce up to 80-90% will give a tremendous benefit to your overall health and will provide you with the best building materials you body is begging for! Working and forking in your garden is essential! You not only enjoy more rich in nutrient content food from no pesticides and mineral rich soil, you also will provide yourself with plenty sunshine and exercise, which (unless you overwork) will invigorate you and will not exhaust you, like weekly shopping. You won't believe how more healthy and energetic you'll become! 
  • Detoxification. Although fasting is not recommended by many health specialists if you have diabetes, other therapies with help flush out toxic build-up.  
  • Exercise in fresh air and sunshine. Your blood, which is slow now, will be running faster thus carrying out of your body cells wastes and supplying them with nutrients and oxygen abundantly. Your bones will be stronger, and you'll have more energy.  A 30-min brisk walk daily is a good exercise to start with.
  • Stress management. It is estimated that about 9/10 all diseases start with sickness of the mind. Working on emotional problems and taking control over this area of your life is crucial for success
