Diabetes
In case of diabetes or high blood sugar, the typical pharmaceutical line of treatment is to try to reduce the blood sugar level. This sort of mentality is very common, where one level becomes the main focus. For example, if the thermometer shows a high reading in a room, and you want the temperature to be reduced, you can do it in two ways. You can switch on the fan or AC, or you can also blow on the thermometer to cool it. The first one changes the whole room, the second one fixates on the thermometer levels. The same attitude is normally used for insulin levels, we forget the room and focus on the blowing.
Since insulin produced by the pancreas is responsible for regulating the level of sugar in the body, the main problem here is that the pancreas produces insufficient or inefficient insulin (which has lost its sensitivity to the presence of glucose). Pharmaceuticals general supply this insulin from outside. While this may address the insulin shortage in the short term, nothing is done to actually support the body to bring the insulin level to normal from the inside, and as a result, the body’s capacity to produce insulin on its own continues to reduce. This leads to increasing levels of insulin intake required, and therefore, in the process, many of the body cells become energy starved, resulting in slow cell death, and leading to end-organ disease after a few years.
It is like providing a person who has stepped on a thorn a pair of crutches that help him to walk. While he grows dependent on the crutches, the thorn continues to infect the body. In the same way, insulin provided from outside acts like crutches, while the real “thorn” – the problem in pancreas function – is not properly addressed at all and continues to deteriorate. How about actually increasing the efficiency of the pancreas, helping it to produce more of quality insulin through cellular nutrition so that the glucose levels come under better control?
How about actually increasing the efficiency of the pancreas, helping it to produce more of quality insulin through cellular nutrition so that the glucose levels come under better control? If this is done, medications can be kept at a minimum and end-organ disease can be postponed substantially. Also, giving the right nutrition would obviously reach each and every cell. It will help the patients’ general well-being too. Thus, the use of the right nutritional supplements addresses the diabetes problem from the inside.
