Blood Sugar / Glucose Levels

Milagro de la Selva tea from Guatemala

As you read the following, you will better understand what Type II Diabetes is, and be able to make more informed decisions to reverse the condition. I have done this and so have many, many others.

Yes it is fairly simple.

If corn syrup, white flour, white sugar and throw in white potatos along with white rice vanished, the Diabetes 2 epidemic would disappear - and obesity would be dramatically reduced.

Diabetes 2 rarely existed 80 years ago. What has happened? It is slightly different for each person, but for the most part, we have just temporarily lost our way. While eating the Standard American Dead Diet, some of us have become depressed and/or filled our lives with "stuff" and things to do to keep ourselves very busy, and some of us have sat on the couch watching TV, and many of us have just given up. But either way…..

….we have developed habits, mental programming and ways of living, which have created a diabetic lifestyle. This includes eating foods that have no Life in them; have little, if any nutritional value; and we eat more than our bodies require to maintain vibrant health. We do not feel we are worthy of the time it takes to love ourselves enough to purchase and prepare foods that are vibrant and alive.... AND many of us have decided we cannot afford to eat healthy.

It does not matter what your past history is, you can safely and effectively lower your glucose and cholesterol levels, AND at the same time, improve liver, kidney and digestive funcion. As these systems are supported you can then make the necessary lifestyle changes to bring the body back into balance.

Since I was and am a thin person, I ignored my fatigue and hyperglycemic symptoms. It was more important for me to “look thin” than to be healthy. I was very righteous about eating organic food for many, many years, but I wasn’t eating nutritious food. Since my body was thin on the outside, I did not really worry about the health of my inner terrain – until I was in my 40’s and it was hard to get out of bed.

No one has time to “Do Everything,” and I do not have the perfect diet for you; yet there are many choices within any lifestyle. Your job is to educate yourself, so with a little knowledge and from an informed place you can decide what is in YOUR highest and greatest good. As you continue to learn more, you can do more and make positive changes.

Nothing here is meant to substitute for medical advice or treatment. Always discuss your health issues with your doctor first, sharing this information as well. Hopefully you have a holistic minded practitioner that is open and enthusiastic towards the changes you want to make.

In a panic the pancreas dumps excess insulin into the bloodstream, rushing to the cell receptors to help them convert the overload of sugar, which it partially does, but soon after the blood sugar plummets again… we then experience fatigue, irritability, depression, shakiness, profuse sweating etc. This is termed hypoglycemia.

At this point most people will crave sweets or bread or cereal and of course this spikes the blood sugar (glucose) back up and the pancreas dumps more insulin into the bloodstream and you know the rest of the story. Over time, the glucose builds up in the blood every time we eat unhealthy foods - because the cells cannot convert and store it and the pancreas cannot keep up with the insulin output.

Do this for years and years and the blood glucose levels stay high because the cell receptors have become so frequently overloaded with insulin, they no longer absorb glucose properly (insulin resistance) and begin to malfunction. The pancreas which has been producing more and more insulin, gets worn out, eventually no longer manufacturing enough insulin naturally.

This is what happens to many of us with chronic fatigue. Not only is the body overloaded with toxins and candida, the glucose is not getting into the tissues. It accumulates in the bloodstream and does not convert to energy. Our glucose levels are elevated and the glucose can get stored as fat, often around the belly - and remember toxins are stored in fat cells as well.

If our cells are bathed with sugar (glucose) from unhealthy eating, this makes it difficult for vitamins and minerals to enter the cells - and minerals are the building blocks of our cells. Obviously if the food we eat is nutrient depleted, there are not enough nutrients to nourish our body anyway.

All of the above leads to low white blood cell counts, lowered immune system function, Type II diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, heart problems, kidney and liver malfunction and the list goes on. Over the years, the liver, kidneys, eyes, heart, blood vessels and nerves can be damaged. We often hear of people losing limbs and their eyesight from advanced diabetes.

However, much can be corrected safely and effectively, as you make the necessary changes.

First, you must decide to show up 100% for yourself. You are worth it and you deserve it.

Here are some of the ideas which can not only reduce your glucose and cholesterol levels, but also detoxify and re-mineralize your cells, support liver and kidney cleansing and detoxification as well as turn a sick body into a healthier one.

Dr. Gabriel Cousens founder of the Tree of life in Patagonia Arizona, was the stepping stone in my life giving me the information I needed to turn my health around. When he told me I was hypoglycemic, pre- diabetic, with systemic candida albicans and a pre-cancerous liver, I had to pull myself up by the bootstraps, and take a cold hard look at my life.

I had been addicted to sugary foods for over 35 years accompanied by depression and chronic fatigue – and with all the self pity I felt and in spite of my victimhood, by the grace of God, I climbed my way out of these chronic health issues, made major changes and so I share.

Remember, you do not have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to figure out a different way of eating, and you are not 5 cans short of a six pack. Neither am I. Doing what needs to be done is similar to cutting up your charge cards and paying cash. It is simple, but not always easy AT FIRST.

I immediately started with detoxification using supplements to cleanse all the toxins, parasites, candida albicans and cancer cells out. I used multiple products several times per day to jumpstart the process, changed what I was eating, began daily juicing raw organic vegetables, and over the following 6 months I had dramatic improvement. THE DIABETIC DIAGNOSIS WAS GONE IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS.

In that first year, I moved away from a lifestyle which had created disease in my body – replacing it with one which supports vibrant health.


Options to Consider

1) Milagro de la Selva tea – I drink 2 cups of this tea every day - for maintenance, (however those with Type II Diabetes will drink 3 or more to lower their glucose levels).

Kidneys and Liver - My young daughter with a digestive disease and serious ulcerative colitis also had dangerously high liver enzymes. She added the Milagro de la Selva tea to her regime every day for quite a few weeks, and this was a tremendous benefit to bringing the enzyme levels into the normal range. The benefit of this tea on the liver, kidneys and intestinal tract is wonderful.

The Milagro de la Selva tea has been found clinically and scientifically to reduce the glucose levels significantly, reduce cholesterol, HDL, and stimulate the liver and kidneys to detoxify. According to Dr. Alberto Ruiz, you may notice a positive benefit in lower glucose readings fairly quickly, so check your insulin levels daily.

This combination of herbs in the Milagro de la Selva tea has been extensively studied for toxicity levels by very reputable Universities, like the National University of Costa Rica and famous scientific laboratories like Connexios Life Sciences in Bangalore, India, and US FDA approved laboratories in California; concluding that this combination of herbs is totally non-toxic.

2)There is a Cure for Diabetes by Gabriel Cousens, MD.

Purchase this book. We do not have to understand everything, or become 100% raw, live food vegans immediately - but there is plenty of information in this book to guide us to turn the diabetes diagnosis around. Applying some of the information within its chapters and incorporating some of their recipes will benefit your health in many ways.

Your Healthy Journey by Fred Bisci, PHd. Realistic answers and guidance in choosing foods to help you make the lifestyle changes for your body to move into Optimal Health.

Video - Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days - Excellent documentary following the jouney of 30 insulin dependant diabetics to reversing their diagnosis through diet.

3)Detoxification / Internal Cleansing ~

Just as your car will not run efficiently if you do not change the oil and flush the lines, it is imperataive to flush the organs - digestive tract - and blood pathways in the body of toxins, parasites, and other pathogens. Indigestion, bloating and intestinal distress may be signs of much needed colon cleansing.

There are quite a few products available to detoxify and not one product does everything.

Here are some suggestions to help you get started and products we regularly use for maintenance.

Iaso Tea You can try this tea for FREE - if you pay the $4.95 shipping. Remember initially it is important to address the body as a whole, targeting and cleansing as completely as you can, slowly with consistency over time.

Yes, you can drink BOTH the Iaso tea as well as the Milagro de la Selva every day. However start with the Milagro de la Selva tea and then after a few days, add in the other as your intuition suggests. Start the Iaso tea on a day off from work, to honor your body as it adjusts to the cleansing process.

These teas are not identical herbs. The Milagro de la Selva is imported from the Guatemalan rainforest - I drink 2 cups of the Milagro de la Selva every day, and the Iaso tea once in the morning, which is my maintenance dosage to support all the digestive organs and my blood sugar. You will mostly likely want to drink at least 2 cups of the Iaso tea per day for a month or longer.

Red Desert® Clay ~ This edible detoxification clay will go into the bloodstream removing many toxins and pathogens, remineralize the cells and build bone density. We use about 1.5 teaspoons per day.

Our page on Detoxification will give you more information in this area.

4) Food - Personally, I have never had much interest in preparing food - I am lazy in that area, yet I eat quite well and simply - because I do not have junk food around to make it easy. Most of the people I know live very full lives, but if you like to prepare recipes, you will appreciate books with raw, live food recipes.

Maryanne's Energizing Morning Drink

I find it to be helpful to start the day giving the body a good high protein, easy to prepare drink.

So many people are protein deficient, in spite of the amount of meat, chicken and fish they eat. This green high energizing protein drink I mix together is 40 to 60% protein and the body can store the protein converting it to glucose when needed.

I mix and drink the following because it nourishes my body and is much higher in protein than meat, chicken or fish - which are very acidic and only offer 15% to 17% protein. Meat, chicken and fish are also a lot of work for the liver to process (since they contain no digestive enzymes) making your digestive system work a lot harder. The following items in a blender is a wonderful substitute.       Protein Drink ~ Click here>>

This is not a smoothie and does not taste like one. Some people love how they feel drinking this recipe - others want to complain - because it is not sweet.

VEGGIE WRAP

Now that my blood sugar is around 85, and I eat higher protein and lots of raw veggies, I often make the following. Keep in mind that the sprouted grain tortilla is high in carbs, so only make this once your blood glucose levels are stabilized in the healthy range OR leave out the tortilla.

One Ezekial sprouted grain tortilla
Organic humus
Avocado
Raw organic vegetables: i.e. collard greens; dandelion greens, kale, zucchini, cabbage, broccoli (choose whatever is in season) which looks alive and vibrant, as if it was just picked.

I spread a little humus on the tortilla, then I mash up 1/2 an avocado and spread this on the tortilla (or you can slice it). I sprinkle on a little Himilayan Crystal Salt, which is the most energetic salt I have found - containing 84 essential trace minerals. (Celtic salt is also excellent.)

I place a collard green leaf, and kale and asparagus or whatever I purchased on top of the humus/avocado, roll it like a rug and eat. Since I have to eat often during the day, I will eat 1/2 the wrap and eat the other half an hour or two later.

Personally I eat approximately 50% protein a day and about 35% carbs mostly from raw veges, and about 15% fats from from UDO's oil and cacao powder.

Sprouted Nuts and Seeds are Alive, have a high enzyme content, and are super nutritious for your body - eaten with meals or at snack time. You can sprout your own or purchase them at a health food store.

Sprouted Almonds - I take about 1/4th a cup of raw organic almonds and soak them overnight in "quality water" - never tap water. In the morning I throw out the water. I heat up a couple of inches of water on the stove (not tap water). Once the water boils, I turn off the heat. Put the almonds in the water for 20 seconds and again throw out the water. The peelings will now slide off the almonds, which makes them very digestable and they are now Live Food. The almonds can be stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Mung Beans, Sprouted Seeds, Sprouts - These I purchase at the health food store. Sprouted seeds and beans are also Live Food and full of enzymes, making them very easy for the body to digest, providing excellent nutrition for your cells.

Fruit and Vegetables - I enjoy fruit occasionally, but am aware of the impact they have on my blood glucose levels - so I keep it do a minimum... but you have to Live as well... so I don't feel guilty when I do...!

I do not eat the "perfect diet" however, I daily eat raw organic vegetables in my veggie wrap as written about above, or I ~Juice ~ put my vegetables in the juicer. The fiber they contain slows down the speed at which the glucose enters the bloodstream, keeping my insulin more even.

Over time, after replacing the sugary foods with raw vegetables, I acquired somewhat of a taste for them and now I do not mind eating raw vegetables this way.

Once vegetables are cooked there is very little nutritional value in them.

Cholesterol - When we regulary eat meat, chicken and fish as well as dairy and eggs we create higher levels of cholesterol in our blood. Remember these animal products are only between 15% and 17% protein and are very acidic.

Once we switch to a plant based diet - the fiber decreases the cholesterol, and obtaining our protein from spirulina, blue green algae, hemp, sprouted nuts and seeds - the cholesterol naturally drops, blood glucose drops, high blood pressure drops, weight drops off and so forth.

Last of All ~ Microwave - Never use a microwave - Here is Why
