The answer is yes. Thousands of patients have discovered that by following a simple protocol, they can take charge of their health and reduce and even eliminate their risk for adult onset diabetes.
Diabetes strikers 800,000 people annually and it costs an estimated $100 billion annually to treat in the United States alone. Type II diabetes accounts for 95 percent of cases in the United States and is the leading cause of kidney failure, limb amputations and blindness in adults.
What causes Type II Diabetes? It all starts with decreased insulin sensitivity. Because of the American diet of refined sugars and carbohydrates, caffeine consumption and the American sedentary lifestyle, our cells eventually become resistant to insulin and this does not allow the blood glucose to be absorbed into the cell.
Here are a few facts:
• Nine out of 10 cases of type II could be prevented if people exercised more, ate less, stopped smoking and adopted healthy behaviors. (The New England Journal of Medicine, 9-13-2001)
• As little as a 5 percent weight loss (about 10 lbs. for most people) can reduce your risk of diabetes by 58 percent. (Washington Post, 8-9-2001)
I have personally witnessed hundreds of patients who have accomplished this task by following a specific protocol and eliminating certain stressors in their life and incorporating specific homeopathics as well as certain nutrients. Alpha lipoic acid, for example, is a great nutritional support that re-sensitizes the cells to insulin, therefore lowering the need for insulin and or glucose lowering drugs.
At Health Concepts we identify and correct the many interferences to your health, thereby getting to the cause of the problem. Even though drugs may relieve the symptom, the cause of the symptom may remain. Symptom free and restored health is not the same. The key to health is to remove the interferences to wellness, and that’s what we do best.
How do we accomplish this? By implementing the 10 Steps to Total Health, using high-tech, state-of-the-art tools and instruments to bring your body to balance. Once the interferences are removed, the body heals itself. It’s that simple.
