DIABETES
"He, who knows how to listen, hears wisdom.
The two main types of diabetes are Type 1 commonly referred to as “juvenile” diabetes and Type 2 diabetes mellitus which normally affects people age 40 and up. Diabetes is a condition that occurs when your pancreas either stops producing insulin or does not produce enough insulin to meet your body’s needs. A lack of insulin results in low absorption of glucose which the body’s cells need for energy and the liver needs for storage purposes. If not brought under control there are serious side effects that can result.
The consumption of white flour and highly processed grain products is higher now than any time in our history. When eaten, these simple carbohydrates are quickly absorbed, causing a rapid spike in blood glucose. Its not surprising that diabetes affects more than 17 million Americans. Almost half the population has glucose handling problems and could be label "pre-diabetic". When the excess glucose can't be metabolized fast enough, a chain reaction is triggered that leads to a process called glycation. Sugars transform proteins into useless cellular debris called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Glycation is associated with the aging process, poor enzyme production, abnormal DNA formation and Alzheimer's. Men are also at risk for becoming impotent. Diabetics are also more likely to be overweight. Hypoglycemic attacks can also occur. We have a certain responsibility to keep our bodies in good health,
There is NO permanent cure
for diabetes. The condition is most commonly controlled with diet,
insulin shots and more recently small pumps that administer measured does of
insulin in a timely manner.
Medicine cures three tenths, diet cures seven tenths.

target many of the conditions that affect "modern man" today. Drinking
Kombucha on a regular basis also may very well be the most important thing you
can do to regain and maintain good health. What benefits can a
diabetic reasonably expect by drinking properly prepared Kombucha on a
regular basis? Kombu. . what, you might ask. The first thing you might
notice is more energy. Kombucha aids digestion so the nutrients in the food you
eat is more available for your circulatory system to carry to all parts of your
body. The nutrients are put to work nourishing your body’s systems, hence more
energy. Kombucha seems to be the
biological equivalent of STP gas treatment, carburetor cleaner and radiator
flush all rolled into one. It works at the cellular and molecular level pulling
the toxins out. Glucuronic acid (GA) then binds toxins in the liver which are
then expelled via the urine. Toxins bound by GA cannot be reabsorbed by the
intestines or the urinary system. It softens hardened veins and arteries,
lowers cholesterol and improves liver function. This detoxification and purging
is important in lowering your chances of having a coronary problem. This ongoing detoxification
and purging promotes healthy organs including your liver and kidneys among
others.
Being stupid, isn't not knowing much, nor is it not wanting to know much.
Blood pH that is more acidic is common in individuals with
diabetic blood sugar regulation problems. Diabetics do not properly metabolize
their carbohydrates creating dangerous metabolic wastes from fat and proteins. The result is clinically called acidosis. Kombucha's detoxifying and purging process will be of great benefit in eliminating metabolic wastes. A noted medical doctor
conducted a trial comparing Interferon, an immune strengthening product, to
Kombucha. The Kombucha patients showed 20% to 80% greater improvement than the
Interferon group depending on the specific disease being treated. Kombucha
helps balance the pH levels in the digestive tract and circulatory system.
Studies suggest that when the body is in a state of pH balance many types of
pathogens simply can’t survive. The fermentation process
also produces heparin which is important to eyesight and the adaptogen property
also balances processes that get out of order. Stabilization of glucose swings
and drops in sugar levels is quite normal. Many people who are overweight,
report slow and steady weight loss and the pounds stay off. Kombucha sometimes enhances
the effectiveness of medications and it is important to keep your health
provider informed so dosage can be adjusted accordingly. Dr. E. Arauner confirmed that Kombucha
is the “most effective natural folk remedy for fatigue, nervous tension,
incipient signs of old age, hardening of the arteries, sluggishness of the
bowels, gout, rheumatism, hemorrhoids and diabetes.” SOME COMMENTS FROM KOMBUCHA USERS ON
THEIR EXPERIENCES Alphonse and Evelyn of
Pennsylvania both have diabetes. My wife started on the Kombucha tea
about 3 weeks ago. She is definitely more energized by the tea, and her
diabetes daily testing shows an amazing decrease in her blood sugar content.
I’m sure she will have to reduce her medication. I am experiencing an
improvement in my blood sugar and an increase of energy. My range has dropped
from 135-170 to 120-140. My wife’s range is down too 90-120. Laura in OH writes: I have
asthma and after being treated with prednisone my glucose level was elevated as
a side effect. I was put on oral diabetes medicine and started taking
insulin shots. In 2 weeks I was able to get off all diabetes medicine and the
shots. The same think had happened a year ago and that time it took 6 months to
get off the diabetes medicine so I know my recovery this time was due to the
Kombucha. In 1987 I was told that I
had cancer. Later that year I found out that I had Chronic Immune Deficiency
Syndrome and Diabetes. I started on Kombucha and Rene Caisse’s herbal
cancer treatment/cure she called Essiac. I have now been using these products
for years and they have literally changed my life. M.K. Canada Kenneth of AR is a
believer. At age 44 he had spent 10 years on disability from his job of driving
a truck. His medical infirmities have included a bad heart, enlarged prostate,
high blood pressure, bad digestion, diabetes and depression A few months
ago, one of his neighbors gave him a Kombucha mushroom. Since then, it’s just
like I’m a little kid again, Sikorsky said. He still has heart problems but his
other ailments seem to have vanished. Kombucha by itself
doesn't cure anything. Since Kombucha nourishes at the cellular membrane level it has a positive effect on many chronic and debilitating conditions. On the left side of our Home Page we list many conditions that millions of Americans are suffering from. If you or a loved one has any of these conditions take the time to check it out and see how Kombucha might be of benefit. Take charge of your family's health today.
