Traditional medicine “fights” Diabetes by injecting insulin into my bloodstream to digest my food into energy. When I don’t have enough insulin in my body, my blood sugars shoot up. Simply because my body can’t process the glucose from the bloodstream to the cells without insulin from the pancreas , as a result the body can’t “feed itself” because the glucose stays in the blood stream ,this saturation of the blood causes the complications ,resulting in Diabetes .
This is why Diabetes patients who haven’t been diagnosed yet are often very hungry and thirsty even after a meal (sound familiar?)
But let’s say that my body would produce more insulin on it’s own . What if there was a way to “stimulate” the Pancreas that produces your” insulin…” slowly but surely it will start to produce a little more on its own each day?
Scientists have now discovered… that it can ! With the Natural Cure for Diabetes . Your Diet is the Single Biggest Influence on Your Diabetes Condition!

Welcome back as I promised ( Chip ). I am back with more information for your battle with Diabetes .Lets get started at the earliest stages , our children . I read about a 9 year old girl with Type I Diabetes. Her mother found herself caught up in whirlwind of shock , anger , and denial as she watched this incurable chronic illness move into there lives .
Her young daughter was becoming noticeably thinner , with dark circles under her eyes . Mom was suffering with what I call denial, she thought these changes were a result of her young daughters vigorous play ,at soccer and basketball camp . She noticed that her thirst was unquenchable , there was a small cut on her leg that would not heal,and her skin was a bit off color .Mom did not know the symptoms of ‘Diabetes’ at this time .She just dismissed these symptoms as no big deal .Then she watched her daughter lose nearly 20 pounds within three weeks time. Her daughter was wasting before her very eyes.At last a trip to the pediatricians seemed inevitable .To the doctor,the symptoms of diabetes was easily diagnosed .
Mom was devastated , but determined , hours was spent with nurse educators , pediatricians and with pediatric endocrinologists.A new world of Diabetes was introduced into thee lives , test strips, glucose monitors, insulin pens,syringes and lances . The little girl who very rarely visited an doctor, did not remember ever having a shot. Now she had to have several shots a day to control her glucose levels . Her younger sister was frightened herself ,watching her sisters illness progress. the emotional stability of the entire family was being threatened.
Now to my point of this article;no matter your age, race ,nationality ,this killer will reach you .Please keep a healthy diet to help prevent diabetes from taking over your life.You cannot start to early with healthy eating habits and exercise .Do you realize , just 30 minutes a day devoted to exercise would be a fantastic deterrent to fighting diabetes.It would not be to late for you to start eating healthier and exercising a bit more and taking vitamins and minerals . Excuses such as I am too old are not acceptable ,to myself or your loving family, you need to take action as soon as possible (prevention is the best cure.)God Bless all CHIP !
Many women across the globe suffer from a chronic condition known as fibromyalgia. Fatigue, tender points, and chronic pain in muscles, ligaments, and tendons characterize fibromyalgia. The condition is not progressive or fatal, but it is extremely uncomfortable for the sufferer. Natural fibromyalgia treatments can help alleviate the symptoms, but they may never truly disappear. Such treatments will also improve the patients overall health.
The basics of treating fibromyalgia naturally include reducing stress, getting enough sleep, getting regular exercise, pacing activity evenly, and eating a healthy, well balanced diet. Fibromyalgia and diet go hand in hand. Healthier foods help alleviate many of the symptoms.

If you are prone to allergic reactions to medications, it can be very difficult to deal with certain ailments. If you break out in hives every time you take penicillin, for example, it can be difficult to cure something as basic as a common cold. But that doesn’t mean you have to suffer through the sneezing and hacking. More and more people are exploring natural ways to tackle these health issues, because people are becoming informed about the possible dangers and downsides of using prescription medication to treat these issues.
There is a stigma, however, against many kinds of alternative medicine. But as people start to get results with natural products, this stigma does seem to be dissipating. The danger comes when people completely eschew modern medicine. Rather, people should see what natural or alternative methods can accomplish in conjunction with modern medical advancements.
For you blog readers ,here is an article that I found interesting about blood pressure at McVitamins.
Here are some high blood pressure causes and some of the ways to help control it naturally?
‘We do know that blood pressure is controlled by the tiny smooth muscles lining the interior of blood vessels and the nerves that control them.’
‘These muscles’ ability to dilate [Definition: to make wider or larger] or constrict governs the pressure and blood flow to each organ and tissue, thus allowing the body to adapt to various states such as sleep, digestion, or exercise, as well as to external circumstances such as a hot or cold environment.’
‘When the muscles throughout the vascular system [Definition: the arteries and veins that carry blood] dilate, blood pressure drops. When the muscles constrict, blood pressure rises. If this constriction occurs continuously, the blood pressure remains abnormally high. This is hypertension.’
‘What influences the relaxing and tightening of the tiny smooth muscles lining the blood vessels? Many factors, but among the foremost is the mineral magnesium.’
‘Actually, the balance of magnesium and another mineral, calcium, in and around the muscle cells lining the arteries is a primary determining factor of their state of relaxation and constriction.’
‘Calcium tends to make muscles constrict, whereas magnesium causes them to relax.’
excerpted from The Magnesium Solution for High Blood Pressure by Jay S. Cohen, M.D.
The solution appears almost too simple. If so, why don’t the majority of doctors address the problem of high blood pressure using a nutritional approach?
‘Modern physicians are trained to prescribe. We learn in medical school that prescription drugs are the most powerful tools we have for treating disease.’
‘Since diet changes were almost never presented as therapeutic tools, drugs are usually viewed as the only significant therapeutic options available.’
‘The pressure on physicians to use medications are almost impossible to overcome. Not only have they been taught that drugs are necessary, but the drug companies exert enormous influence on physicians’ treatment patterns.’

by Julian M. Whitaker, M.D
For thousands of years, Native American cultures have used native plants which grow from the ground as alternative medicine. Every Native American nation has its very own herbal medicine tradition derived from plants which grows in the region specific to where they reside.
The spiritual reverence toward the gathering and use of herbs are common among most Native Americans. Before the plants are collected, prayers and thanksgiving offerings are made. The herbs used in healing ceremonies are respected so much that they are placed back inside the earth after being used, instead of being thrown away and wasted.
The main goal of using herbs is to bring balance to the whole body and soul of each person. Some of the medicinal and alternative herbs used by many Native American cultures include the following botanicals:
Black cohosh
boneset
ginseng
nettle
juniper
If you find yourself visiting the bathroom more than usual and you’re drinking a lot of water suddenly you may need to be checked for diabetes. Urination becomes more frequent when there is too much glucose in the blood. When you have diabetes, the pancreas cannot produce insulin, resulting in the kidneys being unable to filter glucose from the blood. This results in your bladder being full and subsequent trips to the bathroom. These symptoms can also be signs of diabetes:
1.) Unquenchable thirst
2.) Unintended weight loss
3.) Weakness & fatigue
4.) Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet
5.) Blurred vision
