- 5. How are Diabetesand Obesity Linked Answer: LEPTIN •leptin is a very powerful hormone discovered approximately 10 years ago produced by fat cells,. •fat became an endocrine organ like the ovaries, pancreas and pituitary influencing the rest of the body and, in particular, the brain. •Both insulin and leptin work together to control the quality of one's metabolism and, to a significant extent, the rate of metabolism via nervous system control.
- 6. Like two peasin a pod, the obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics have joined forces Popular belief is that if one eats too much sugar, they'll get fat and develop diabetes; and, if they don't get diabetes it's merely because their body is producing enough insulin to keep up with the sugar. However, researchers have discovered evidence that there's more to the obesity-diabetes connection than this classic way of thinking: The missing link? Leptin.

- 16. The New Disease "insulin-resistantdiabetes" because it had the elevated blood sugar symptom of diabetes but responded poorly to insulin therapy. ***Many physicians had considerable success in treating this disease through diet. This was well known to the physicians of the 1930s as insulin-resistant diabetes. This basic underlying disorder is known to be a derangement of the blood-sugar control system by badly engineered fats and oils. It is exacerbated and complicated by the widespread lack of other essential nutrition that the body needs to cope with the metabolic consequences of these poisons.

New Disease …Diabetes Type II 1950, serum insulin assays could be checked. * this new disease wasn't classic diabetes; it had sufficient, often excessive, blood insulin levels. •insulin was ineffective; it did not reduce blood sugar, and sometimes killed the patient. •But since the disease had been known as diabetes for almost 20 years, it was renamed Type II diabetes. Had the dietary insights of the previous 20 years dominated the medical scene from this point and into the late 1960s, diabetes would have become widely recognized as curable instead of merely treatable. Instead, in 1950, a search was launched for another wonder drug to deal with the Type II diabetes problem.

Hopefully this lesson will prove to be impactful, because that certainly has not been the case to date (as in cholesterol/LDL, BP, PSA, mammography, and a very long list of poorly conceived, nonanchored guidelines). Isn't it about time to recognize that there shouldn't be rules for populations? Some people are exquisitely sensitive to salt intake, while others are remarkably resistant. Average is over.

Insulin lowers glucose as a side effect of directing the extra into storage. A small amount of glucose is stored as a starch called glycogen in our body, but the majority is stored as our main energy supply -- fat. The Main Purpose Of Insulin Is Not To Lower Blood Sugar.

Then add back healthy oils such as butter, coconut oil, olive oil and clean animal fat. Read labels; eliminate cheap junk oils no processed food or on restaurant menus. Diabetics are chronically short of minerals; you need to add a good-quality, broad-spectrum mineral supplement to the diet. • Control blood sugar manually during the recovery cycle. gradually discontinue all oral hypoglycaemic agents along with any additional drugs given to counteract their side effects. Consume frequent small meals (including fibre-rich foods), regular post-prandial exercise Avoid all sugars and alcohol • Restore a proper balance of healthy fats and oils when the blood sugar controller again works. Permanently remove from the diet all cheap, toxic, junk fats and oils as well as the processed and restaurant foods that contain them.

Chiropractic and Diabetes 1906Sylva Ashworth had to raise her four children and manage the family farm on her own, in Nebraska. •valvular heart trouble • diabetes •dropsy •cystic tumors •severe ulcerations on her legs •toes of one foot had turned purple. Surgeons at the local hospital had decided against amputation, because Mrs. Ashworth was not expected to survive more than 3 or 4 months with or without the operation. Resigned to her fate, Sylva divided her farm among family members and arranged for her children's care after her death. Her sister Lucy suggested that she seek the assistance of some new kind of healer, a Dr. Olson was a Chiropractor Sylva responded: "What on earth is a chiropractor?"
- 33. Mrs. Ashworth The chiropractoradvised her of "problems in the mid-dorsal spine" and began a regimen of twice daily adjustments. His rationale was that this area of the spine innervated the pancreas, which was believed to have something to do with diabetes. Sylva learned to conduct her own urinalyses, and began to note improvement. Her urine gradually became clearer, the leg ulcers began to heal, and her toes began to "pinken up" Mrs. Ashworth was inspired by her own recovery to devote her life to chiropractic. Became one of the first women Chiropractors!

Leptin: A KeyPlayer in Your Health But Most Doctors Ignorant about it Leptin's critical importance is largely unknown to the medical community because there are no known drugs that regulate its activities and therefore there is no incentive to spend money to educate doctors about leptin's crucial role in health and disease. The only known way to reestablish proper leptin (and insulin) signaling is via diet and, as such, these can have a more profound effect on your health than any other known modality of medical treatment.
