Information on Diabetes Type IIDescription People with diabetes have difficulty processing glucose, a sugar the body uses for energy. This results in rising blood levels of glucose, and eventual spilling into the urine. At the same time, however, the cells of the body are starved for glucose. Tne characteristic symptoms of diabetes are polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria - excessive thirst, excessive eating, and excessive urination. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is called adult-onset or non-insulin-dependant diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). In this form the body doesnŐt respond properly to insulin. Hyperglycemia results from both an impaired insulin secretory response to glucose and decreased insulin effectiveness (insulin resistance). There is a delayed and decreased rise in plasma insulin following glucose ingestion despite their higher plasma glucose levels. Type II (NIDDM) accounts for 80% of diabetic cases. Causes The cause of Type II diabetes is often unknown (idiopathic). Other causes include: pancreatic destruction from surgery, hemachromatosis, or cancer; Hypophosphatemia (low phosphate); Glycogen synthetase deficiency; and Glucokinase deficiency associated with a genetic defect on chromosome 20. Genetic factors and obesity are important risk factors for type II diabetes. Conventional Labs Sandard labs include fasting blood sugar, blood glucose, electrolytes, venous pH, Urinalysis for glucose and ketones, CBC (WBC may be elevated), Hemoglobin Alc level, C-peptide insulin level, Islet-cell antibodies, T4 and thyroid antibodies. Additional tests include an oral glucose tolerance test (possibly with insulin levels, if diagnosis is questionable), intravenous glucose test (for possible early detection of subclinical diabetes). HLA-typing may also be considered. Specialty Lab Tests Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address that cause, as well as supplements that alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Finding and addressing the cause of disease is the step that most holistic practitioners (and all health food store clerks) skip -- and it is absolutely essential!
Finding the Cause of Disease with Specialty Alternative Medical Lab Tests
There are many specialty alternative medical lab tests that are designed specifically to find the cause of disease. These tests are not taught in medical school, and they are usually not reimbursed by insurance companies (because conventional lab tests are only used to diagnose disease). As such, most medical doctors don't know anything about them!
Figuring out which specialty lab test you need is what naturopathic medical doctors are taught. My book, Finding the Cause of Disease with Specialty Alternative Medical Lab Tests was written to help naturopathic medical students learn this art. The PDF Ebook is available for $9.99 and includes descriptions of these lab tests and which specific lab tests are recommended for each disease.
If your disease is associated with imbalances in hormones, you might want to review the Salivary Hormone Panels section in my store. The lab test kits are mailed to your home and include an prepaid envelope to mail them back to the lab company for analysis. I have entered a few salivary hormone lab tests in the Store.
There are many more alternative medical lab tests available, and I will be adding them to the store soon. Please chack back regularly!
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If, for whatever reason, you decide that you aren't interested, I'd like to recommend two other web sites that have high-quality vitamins and information.
Life Extension Foundation and Vitamin Research Products
Also, if you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
