Diabetes is NOT an "Old People's Disease"

Greetings Everyone,

People of all ages can develop "so-called" diabetes.  Here's a video which confirms this, and I believe will give you additional inspiriation.  In the video, Actor/Comedian Anthony Anderson talks about his personal experience.  Hope this helps.

Commit to Being Healthy

When you think of being committed to something such as a relationship or a job, what do you think about?  I would dare say that you think of how much it means to you, how you would not want to lose it, and what you may have to do to keep it.  For instance, in a romantic relationship, you know that in order to sustain it you much do things such as spend time with the person, be nurturing, think of and plan for the future, be kind to the object of your love in thought, word and deed, be responsible....the list is endless.  When you think of your commitment to a job/business that you really want and desire to keep, you would consider things such as being responsible, being present when you are supposed to be, future growth and sustainability, customer service, and the list goes on.

Now let's talk about your health.  If you were diagnosed with "so-called" diabetes, and you are committed to reversing the condition and living a normal, happy, healthy life, then you may have to commit to certain acts such as:

• An exercise routine.  Check with your doctor to determine whether you have any physical limitations in regards to exercise, and then have a routine tailored to your capabilities.  If you are ambulatory, walking is always a good start.  Also consider yoga or tai chi which have great calming effects among other benefits.  Find a physical activity which you enjoy, and be committed to incorporate it into your weekly routine.
• How's your diet???  Ok, I know how challenging it may be to alter a diet which you may have been accustomed to for years, however in your commitment to reverse diabetes and live a normal, happy, healthy life, you may really have to take a good, hard look at what you are eating.  Does your diet consist primarily of fresh fruits and vegetables (preferably organic)?  If not, try adding fresh fruit and vegetables to your daily diet, while eliminating one or two types of processed foods.  Everyone is different so there's no magic formula as to how you should progress in order to be successful.  On a personal note, I am vegetarian, however it took me several years before I actually eliminated all meat, poultry and seafood from my diet. Always check with a licensed medical professional before making any drastic alterations to your diet, and then proceed at a comfortable pace so that you can gradually realise success.  This way, you are more likely to stick with it as opposed to attempting a "crash diet." Also, your metabolism will thank you for not shocking it!
• Let's talk about spirituality.  Do you have a spiritual discipline which allows you to feel at peace and motivated?  Do you pray daily and meditate?  Seek and adopt a spiritual discipline if you do not have one.  It is what I consider a mandatory survival tool.  Include prayer and meditation in your commitment package.

Speak your commitment aloud and write it down.  Place "post-it" notes on your refrigerator, in the bathroom, bedroom, anywhere which when you see the notes, you are reminded of your commitment to health.  You can do this.  The Universe will support you in any good act.  Until next time, I wish you love, light and radiant health.

Your Meter is your Friend

Did you know that your blood glucose meter is your friend?  I have spoken with countless people who have challenges with their blood sugar levels (notice I do not label them as being diabetic!), who tell me that they do not like to test.  Testing is the only way you can be in charge of what's going on in your body.

I recently had a conversation with my medical doctor, who seemed surprised when I told him that I frequently test my blood glucose levels.  The conversation arose because I requested a prescription for test strips.  He stated to me "why do you put yourself through that pain?  Just come to me every few months for blood work I will tell you your A1C number."   I informed him that I would continue having blood work done, however I also intend to self-test at home as well.

Here's the point everyone - if you do not test at home, you are not going to be aware if your blood sugar level is increasing unless you have a huge spike which lands you in the hospital.  Self-testing is essential if you intend to reverse the dis-ease and ultimately rid yourself of the prescription medication.  Knowledge is the key which will lead you to your cure.  If you wait until you have an annual or semi-annual medical checkup to find out whether your blood sugar level, you may learn that you have let several months pass in which you could have been proactively working to bring your level back to a normal range.  I know that testing can be irritating if not painful to some, but the rewards greatly outweigh the discomfort; you CAN reverse so-called diabetes.  Know your body for yourself.  Refuse to be at the mercy of others who may not have your best interests in mind.

Have you found a naturopathic doctor yet?  If you live in the NYC area, try Dr. Christopher Saltpaw.  His telephone number is (917) 968-1038.  Visit his website www.grassrootsnaturalmedicine.com.  If you are not in the NYC area, you can give him a call anyway because he may be able to refer you to someone in your area and perhaps offer a word of encouragement.

Take charge of your life and your health.  Let your blood glucose monitor be your friend.  Reversing/curing diabetes is not for everyone; however if you desire to rid yourself of insulin and oral medication, self-testing can be one of the most effective tools in your arsenal along with cinnamon...moringa...lemon....water...green beans.....more to come!

Gut Bacteria Could Cause Diabetes

Greetings everyone,

Take a look at this brief video which I've linked to. The researchers are claiming that bacteria in the gut may cause diabetes.  It's worth taking a look at.  I believe that the food which we take in, especially meat and poultry, may contribute to having the gut bacteria; especially if it is not properly cooked.  Just a thought.  Anyway, enjoy the video.

This  morning my husband and I did our usual 5K run at Prospect Park (I jogged and walked more than I ran).  If you live in the NYC area and wish to join our  Sunday morning team, send me an email.  Wear comfortable clothing, and most importantly, comfortable running shoes.  Namaste

Heal at your Own Pace

Yesterday I met a woman in her late 30's who shared with me that she was diagnosed with diabetes 5 years ago.  For privacy, I will refer to her as "Jean."

Jean approached me at my display for the Natural Organic Diabetes Solution Supplement.  I immediately noticed that she was drinking a popular soft drink (name withheld) and she also had a pack of cigarettes in her hand.  Jean asked me whether the product worked, and before answering, I asked whether she was currently on prescription medication.  She stated that she currently uses Insulin and Metformin.  I then asked whether her goal was to become healed to the point where she would no longer require the medication, and she stated "yes."

I talked with Jean about the need to increase her intake of water if she chose to continue smoking cigarettes, since cigarettes are known to dehydrate the body.  Those with blood sugar challenges need the body to remain hydrated.  At that point, Jean appeared to become uncomfortable, and I explained to her that healing is an individual journey.  The Natural Organic Diabetes Solution Supplement has been reported by those who have used it (including myself) to lower the blood glucose levels in as little as three days.  Results vary according to your body's own metabolism, along with your eating habits, daily stress levels and various other factors such as your belief and determination.  Note that the products is not FDA evaluated and no claims of healing are being made.

There is another key factor in your journey to health.  Do you have a support system?  Do you have a team of medical professionals?  By a team of medical professionals, I am referring to licensed medical doctors as well as naturopathic doctors.  Your team should be comprised of those who also believe that "so-called" diabetes can be reversed and ultimately cured, and they should be willing to encourage and work with you throughout the process.  Each Saturday, I conduct a free support group in the NYC area for those who have blood sugar challenges (notice I am avoiding labeling you as diabetics).   Add to your healing arsenal prayer, meditation, affirmations and visualization, and you have tools to propel you to success.  I would be remiss if I overlooked other natural healing modalities such as Reiki (Universal Life Force Healing Energy) and NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming).

Getting back to Jean, I have high hopes for her healing.  She was upfront by stating that she has to improve her eating habits, and she is aware that smoking is a "no-no."  I find that people who are upfront as opposed to being in denial tend to heal at a faster rate.

More to come in future entries.  Until then, believe in your healing.  You CAN reverse and heal diabetes.
