Supplements for Diabetics

“All you need is a proper diet of fresh fruits and vegetables and get plenty of exercise and you’ll be fine.”

Ever heard those words from your doctor?

If that’s all he/she recommends then you’re missing out an important ingredient for health that he’s not telling you.

The fact is that you can adhere to the strictest diet, watch everything you eat and get the exercise of a marathon runner and still come down with diabetic complications.

Diet, exercise and standard drug treatments simply aren’t enough to help keep your diabetes under control.

Diet and exercise are the two words given out by established medicine and the media as the only cure-all; repeated endlessly like a holy mantra.

The word “fresh” is glossed over and it is likely you miss that word too. The simple truth is that what you buy from your supermarket shelves and bring home is not fresh.

Those veggies look good on the outside, but they lack essential nutrients that everyone needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle, especially those with diabetes.

Without those nutrients, you are a prime target for degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease and arthritis.

Those veggies on your store shelves come from farms whose soil has been depleted of vitamins, minerals and the antioxidants your body needs to maintain health.

Today you’d have to chow down 17 bowls of spinach to get the same amount of nutrition that one bowl would have supplied 100 years ago.

And along with this severe depletion come the herbicides, pesticides, additives and other treatments to those fruits and vegetables fresh and looking good before they get to your kitchen table.

If that wasn’t enough most of us live a hectic lifestyle that does nothing to help maintain good health. We smoke, we drink and eat far too much.

Lack of exercise and sleep leads to high stress and depression. With all these factors combined and you have a recipe for disease and death!

While we live in fancy homes and drive the latest model car, we aren’t happy. Our days are filled with doctor visits to repair the effects of a lifestyle we’re often not willing or unable to change.

Basically, lifestyle changes and not endless doctor visits are what we really need for proper health. And an understanding of how our bodies work is far more important than popping a Glyburide to control blood sugar.

Medications alone will never cure diabetes. They are quick fixes and only trat the symptoms.

But if you hope to survive the three most prevalent diseases of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, the only cure is to address the things that you are doing that are making you ill. Certainly, diet is an important ingredient. So is exercise.

While there is plenty of food to go around, the quality is poor. Eating organic food, referred to as “fresh” by your family doctor is essential. But many of us don’t have a source where we can buy fresh food.

And because you can’t always eat fresh, supplementing is the only answer. This is the one-word doctors leave out and you are ignorant of.

Since there is no profit in suggesting you take chromium to control your blood sugar, your doctor leaves this essential information out. The result can be disastrous for you! Diabetic complications are a direct result of the lack of nutrients you can only find in fresh produce.

Many Americans today do not get adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in their diet. Many don’t even meet the minimum RDA (Required Daily Allowance) as set by government health agencies. Likely you’re one of those many.

Your body needs vitamins and minerals to fight viruses, disease, bacteria and pathogens that invade you on a daily basis. If fresh fruits and vegetables were easy to acquire you wouldn’t need the power of supplements.

That’s where this eBook comes in. Whether you are currently in good health or are suffering from diabetes, supplementation is necessary! And as a diabetic, supplementing is an absolute necessity!

Diabetics lose a great amount of nutrients that are flushed away in the urine. The kidneys are stressed as they try to rid your body of excess glucose. Unfortunately, a lot of vitamins and minerals get flushed down the toilet along with the glucose.

Your doctor likely hasn’t told you about the importance of supplementation simply because he either doesn’t know and has never learned about the importance of supplements or, if he does, he finds no profit in telling you.

After all drugs are what he prescribes and what puts money into his pockets. He knows next to nothing about prevention, nor does he know anything about natural alternatives to any health problems.

Unfortunately, this lack of education can lead you down the road to diabetic complications. and an early date with the coroner. Without essential nutrients, your body simply breaks down. It ages rapidly. Free radicals ravage the cells in your body, produce glycation and make room for diseased cells to proliferate.

Scurvy, for example, is the result of a lack of vitamin C. Diabetics lack adequate amounts of this vitamin. Chromium and vanadium are two other vital minerals lacking in diabetics.

In fact, the lack of any essential vitamins and minerals it has been shown, lead to the following complications:

Neuropathy. Diabetics often lose feeling in their hands and feet. The nerves die, not necessarily because of excess sugar in the diet, but because of a lack of vitamins and minerals which can help fight those complications. With deadened nerves there is no pain when stepping on a sharp object. Infection sets in and the wound festers.

In all cases the wound does not heal or heals very slowly. If not treated, foot ulcers and gangrene set in. For many diabetics, amputation of the limb is the only solution. No amount of oral medication by your doctor can treat this problem.

Even if you ensure there are no sharp or rusty objects about, the lack of nerves makes it difficult to walk. Pain and tingling sensations are the signals that your nerves are about to die.

Though your doctor may not say so, there is something you can do to prevent this from happening to you.

Retinopathy. As with the deadening of the nerves in the feet, the same thing happens to those delicate veins in the eyes that lead the diabetic toward a future of blindness. It is preventable if you know what supplements you should take to avoid getting blindness.

Kidney Disease: The kidneys are under great pressure as they try to rid your body of excess glucose. The higher your glucose level and the longer it stays in your blood, the harder the kidneys have to work. With so much pressure, they malfunction and disease can set in. More than half of all patients on dialysis today are diabetic.

Heart disease. Your heart is hardly immune to the effects of high blood sugar. Ingredients such as CoQ10, so necessary for the proper beating function of the heart are depleted in the diabetic. If you take a statin drug to control your cholesterol, your chance of a heart attack is even greater. Statins are known to rob the heart of CoQ10.

These are just some of the complications that strike the diabetic. Clearly supplementation is necessary. But where do you find the information about which supplements you should take if your doctor knows nothing about them?

The information is out there, but with a busy lifestyle you don’t have time to read the hundreds of books on treating your diabetes.

That’s why this book was written. Here you’ll find the kind of information you need to supplement with the right kind of vitamins and with the right. No guesswork. If you are diabetic, the information here will provide you with an outline to get you started on the road to recovery.

Through generations we have grown to trust and put our complete faith in our doctors. Unfortunately, that trust is unfounded today. Your doctor is under pressure to sell drugs.

Behind him stands a pharmaceutical company that collects billions of dollars in annual sales. Their focus is not to help get you well. Their focus is pure profit. And while your doctor may be well meaning, his hands are often tied and has to push drugs as the only solution to disease.

Today’s doctor studies many years in a medical school owned and operated by a pharmaceutical giant. Naturally, he studies drugs and knows which drug to prescribe for what ailment.

Natural treatments and supplements are not taught. While he may want to see you get well, his practice is based on treating the sick and if he doesn’t have enough sick people to treat, he’s out of work!

The doctor who attempts to actually help his patients rather than prescribe standard medication is at risk of losing his practice!

Starting a supplementation program is the best thing you can do to protect yourself against complications and you should discuss this with your doctor. But if he plays down the importance of supplementation, you might want to seek the aid of a naturopath or dietitian who knows more about vitamins and minerals and can help you set up a good program.

This eBook focuses on all the essential vitamins, minerals, herbs and more to help fight your disease.

Diabetes can be reversed, though, as yet, there is no cure. But remember that supplementation is just one of many changes you need to make if you hope to live a long and fruitful life.

But remember that supplementation alone is not enough. It must be combined with the right diet, exercise program and especially the willingness to change the many bad habits that have led you to become ill. Those habits are not easy to change and won’t happen overnight.
