WHAT IF YOU ARE TOLD YOU HAVE DIABETES?

OK CHARLIE, LISTEN UP!

YOU HAVE DIABETES.

SOMETHING IS DESTROYING YOUR BODY
          FROM WITHIN.

THERE IS NO CURE, WE WILL TRY TO
          CONTROL THE DISEASE.

YOU MUST TAKE MEDICINE FOR THE REST OF
          YOUR LIFE. 

I WAS BEWILDERED, STUNNED, AND VERY UPSET,
I WAS SAYING, WHY ME?

I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TELLING ME THAT I HAD A MEDICAL PROBLEM, NO SYMPTOMS.

I WAS NOT A SENIOR WITH AN AGED BODY.  

ME OR YOU, NONE OF US IN THIS SITUATION, KNOW WHAT TO THINK, WHAT TO DO.

I INSTINCTIVELY WANTED TO FIGHT THIS DIABETES, BUT I DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE. 
 
WITHOUT ANY OTHER KNOWLEDGE, I WAS NOW UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE DOCTOR. 

AT THE PHARMACY, I RECEIVED THE PRESCRIPTION GLUCOPHAGE, AND WAS LEAVING THE PHARMACY.  IT WAS BY A DIFFERENT AISLE THAN USUAL, AND WHILE MOVING ALONG, SOMETHING MADE ME LOOK OVER AT A LARGE BOOK I WAS PASSING.  IT WAS “PRESCRIPTION FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING”.  I ADDED IT TO MY PURCHASE.  I WAS ENERGIZED BY THE POSSIBILITY OF HEALING.  IT LIT THE PATH TO A CURE!

LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY DESIRE TO FIGHT THE DISEASE, PROVIDED A COINCIDENCE TO HELP ME  BATTLE  DIABETES.  THAT IS, IF YOU BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES. 

THE BOOK WAS DIVIDED BY THE ALPHABET. I LOCATED SECTION D, AND FOUND DIABETES.  IT BEGAN WITH A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS DISEASE AFFECTS OUR BODIES.  IT IS THE SIXTH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE USA, AND THE FIRST CAUSE OF BLINDNESS, RANKS HIGH IN KIDNEY FAILURE, AND SECOND IN NEEDING A LEG AMPUTATED. IT ALSO LEADS YOU TO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, AND HEART ATTACKS.  YOU DON’T WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC.   

THE PATH TO HEALING AND A POSSIBLE CURE BEGAN TO EMERGE WITH A LISTING IN THE BOOK OF  VITAMINS, MINERALS, AND HERBS. THESE ARE CALLED SUPPLEMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE INGESTED LIKE FOOD, AND IN A SENSE, THEY ADD TO, SUPPLEMENT, YOUR MENU.

THERE WAS THREE LISTS, ESSENTIAL, VERY IMPORTANT, AND IMPORTANT.  I DECIDED TO TAKE  EIGHT OF THJE NINE ESSENTIAL SUPPLEMENTS. I COULDN’T FIND ONE AT THE GNC STORE.   

THESE SUPPLEMENTS NEED TO BE TAKEN AT THE RIGHT DOSAGE. TAKING L-CARNITINE AT 50 MILLIGRAMS, WHEN YOU SHOULD BE TAKING 500, DOES NOT DO IT FOR US.

UNDERSTANDING THIS, I KNEW THAT MULTI-VITAMINS WERE NOT GOING TO HELP DEFEAT DIABETES.  IN A MULTI, THERE ARE USUALLY 30 CAPSULES (ALWAYS ABOUT A MONTH’S WORTH).   EACH CAPSULE  USUALLY HAS 14 VITAMINS.  CROWDING 14 VITAMINS INTO A  CAPSULE MEANS YOU WILL NOT GET THE DOSAGE YOU NEED TO FIGHT DIABETES. 

 I HAD DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE MEDICINE, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE PART OF MY EVERYDAY ACTIVITY.  I DIDN’T WANT TO DEPEND ON IT, YET. MY GLUCOSE HAD BEEN GOING UP. MY YEARLY PHYSICAL GLUCOSE READING WAS 146, 26 POINTS TOO HIGH.

 IT GOT TO 181 AND I DECIDED ON TAKING THE SUPPLEMENTS. I WENT TO GNC, AND STARTED USING THE ESSENTIAL AND VERY IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTS. AFTER 8 WEEKS, MY GLUCOSE READING STOPPED GOING UP. 

IT WAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT VICTORY.  WITH THE UPPER SURGE IN THE READING STOPPED, IT GAVE ME HOPE.  NO ONE KNOWS IF IT IS A TEMPORARY HALT, AND THEN CONTINUING UP, BUT IT SURE FELT GOOD.

I WANTED TO FIGHT THIS DIABETES.  THE DIABETIC DESTROYERS MUST BE IN THE BLOODSTREAM.  THAT’S WHERE THE DIABETIC NEEDLE MEASURED THEM. I NEEDED MY FIGHTERS OPPOSING THEM.  MY READING WENT DOWN, AND MY SUPPLEMENTS HAD BECOME MY FIGHTERS. I LIST THEM IN “WINNING THE FIGHT AGAINST DIABETES”. 

TO BE EFFECTIVE IN CREATING THE RIGHT FIGHTERS, WE MUST TAKE THE RIGHT SUPPLEMENTS, AT RIGHT DOSAGES.  WE CAN ALL START WITH THE 9 ESSENTIALS. 

IS THIS ENOUGH?  ONLY THE DIABETIC NEEDLE KNOWS.  TESTING ONCE A DAY BEFORE EATING, IS ENOUGH, TO TELL IF YOUR READING GOES UP OR DOWN.  WHEN IT GOES DOWN, YOU WILL BE EXPERIENCING LESS DIABETIC DESTROYERS ATTACKING YOUR BODY.  IF YOUR NUMBER GOES UP, YOU CAN USE MORE FIGHTERS, THE “VERY IMPORTANT”, OR SOME “IMPORTANT” SUPPLEMENTS.  LATER, WE WILL DISCUSS WHAT AIDED OUR FIGHTERS IN THEIR BATTLE.          

THE DIABETIC DESTROYERS TECHNICAL NAME IS FREE RADICALS. IT IS VERY APPROPRIATE.  I CAME TO KNOW THEM VERY WELL. ONE DICTIONARY MEANING IS AN ATOM WITH AT LEAST ONE ELECTRON MISSING.  BEING A MIT GRADUATE, I KNEW WHEN THIS CONDITION EXISTED, THE ATOM WOULD GO ON THE HUNT TO GET AN ELECTRON TO ADD TO ITSELF.

THE FREE RADICALS ARE NOT CLUSTERED IN A BUS STOP SOMEWHERE, WAITING TO TAKE A BITE OUT OF THE PASSENGERS AT A PARTICULAR STATION. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT EVERY RADICAL TRAVELS IN OUR BLOODSTREAM TO ALL PARTS OF OUR BODIES AND TRIES TO TAKE AWAY AN ELECTRON. 

WE HAVE A HUGE AMOUNT OF CELLS IN OUR BODIES.  WE ARE BORN WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF GLUCOSE, THAT SUPPLIES OUR CELLS WITH  GLUCOSE TO PRODUCE ENERGY FOR OUR PHYSICAL NEEDS.  THIS IS THE GOOD ACTIVITY OF GLUCOSE. IT IS WHEN THE GLUCOSE HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO THE FREE RADICAL THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM.       

REMEMBER THIS, WE WILL TAKE IT UP LATER.  THE BRAIN’S ONLY FOOD IS GLUCOSE. 

IN THE BATTLE OF RADICALS AND MY FIGHTERS, MY FIGHTERS CREATED SPACES IN THE ENEMY DEFENSE.
STRANGE THAT EACH DAY THE RADICALS HAD REPLACEMENTS TO TAKE THEIR PLACE.  WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR BODIES EACH DAY TO ALLOW THIS?
WE EAT! WE MUST EAT SOMETHING THAT CREATES DIABETES.  I WILL ANALYZE MY DIET!

I DID MOST OF MY EXPLORING AND ANALYZING OF MEDICAL RESEARCH OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.  MUCH  RESEARCH STARTS IN UNIVERSITIES. AMERICA APPEARS TO BE BEHIND THE ACTIVITIES GOING ON IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. IN EVALUATING  FOOD,  THE KEY TURNS OUT TO BE IN FAR-A-WAY AUSTRALIA.
