Number of Obese to be Diabetic

The American Epidemic - Now

Number of deaths for leading causes of death:Diabetes & Diabetes Related

1. Heart disease: 616,0672. Cancer: 562,8753. Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 135,9524. Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 127,9245. Accidents (unintentional injuries): 123,7066.

The American Epidemic - Future

What we have to look forward to:• 11 million in 2000• 20 million in 2025• 29 million in 2050

– A 165% increase over the 2000 level

Projection: Soon everyone will have diabetes in the US!

How did we create this epidemic

1552 BC Diabetes – Egyptian physician first documents diabetes Type 1

1959 Type 2 diabetes first documented

Rewriting the medical textbooks!Adult (>35 years old) Onset Diabetes / Non-

Insulin Dependent Adult Onset / Insulin DependentChildhood Onset / Non-Insulin DependentChildhood Onset / Insulin DependentThe Skinny Type 2

Creating an epidemic

Death rate from diabetes has risen since 1900– From 1900 to 1940 – 300%

increase– From 27th leading cause of

death to 6th

• Increases heart disease, cancer, infection

What happen in 2006?

Recap

• Type 2 diabetes is:– Fairly recent– Rising– Self induced– Reversible

But isn’t diabetes a disease?

Homeostasis & Allostasis

Don’t be Fooled

Diabetes is NOT a disease!

It is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation.

When Abnormal Becomes Normal

Allostasis Versus

Homeostasis


Creating a society of diabetics!

What has changed in the last 30 years that has created this epidemic?

How to become diabetic

40 Calories Versus 400 Calories (or maybe >1000)


97 Calories Versus 776 Calories


45 Calories Versus 690 - 1400 Calories


60 Calories Versus 2800 Calories

So what is diabetes (Type 2)?


It is just a storage issue…

Road blocks & False Hope

Diabetes treatment: Road blocks & False Hope

Is The ADA Going To Find A Cure?

Do Diabetic Drugs Cure Diabetes?

Does Insurance Help Cure Diabetes?

The ‘system’ ensures you will not beat diabetes!

Drugs, supplements, & chronic management

– Glyburide • Nutrients Depleted: Coenzyme Q10

– Metformin (met FOR min)• Nutrients Depleted: Vitamin B12

Take for life + pernicious anemia, fatigue, depression, not to mention you never reversed the cause!

Living without consequencesAvandia

Since 1999, shown to increase patients' risk of developing the following, potentially fatal side effects:

– Congestive heart failure by 50%– Heart attack by 43%– Sudden Cardiac Death by 64%– Pulmonary embolism – Strokealso– Bone fractures (namely in the hands and feet) – Pulmonary hypertension

Need more reasons, ok IT DOESN’T CURE DIABETES!

Recap

• Drugs do not prevent or reverse diabetes• Drugs have harmful side effects• Supplements do not reverse diabetes• Insurance does reverse diabetes

Why Type 2 Diabetes is Easily Reversed

Diabetes is a NORMAL reaction to an abnormal lifestyle.

Change the lifestyle and diabetes disappears.

A plan for success: Example 1

Clinical Diabetes: volume 22, number 1, 2004The prevention of diabetes through diet and intense exercise.

Day 1• BMI 28• 46 year old• 206 pounds• Fasting glucose 180• Cholesterol LDL 142• Cholesterol total 200• Diet: Cereal, milk, apple, turkey sandwich, apple, mexican food, cookies,

more milk. • 2300 calorie diet


Clinical Diabetes: volume 22, number 1, 2004The prevention of diabetes through diet and intense exercise.

Two months later• BMI 25• 46 year old• 7% decrease in weight• Fasting glucose 97• Cholesterol LDL 93• Cholesterol total 146• Diet: baked fish, salmon, steamed rice, vegetables, flax, wheat germ, pecans,

cinnamon powder, milk & cereal, turkey sandwich, apple, more milk, granola • 1800 calorie diet• 40 minutes / 6x week / cardio

A plan for success: Living your way out of diabetes!

Studies for weight loss from 1950 to 2010 have found 3 common traits for patients in a weight loss program.

WHY? What is the common denominator for failure?

It has to be lifestyle change to be permanent

Lifestyle Goals• Control and Reverse type-2 diabetes• Manage blood sugar and lose weight safely• Stop painful neuropathy in its tracks• Manage hunger safely• Prepare delicious, healthy meals• Increase your exercise capacity

Appetite Suppression & decreased calories

– Food• Apples – fiber, also anti-inflammatory quecertin • Pine Nuts – pinolenic acid, powerful supressant• Flax Seeds – fiber• Oatmeal – healthiest carb, fiber• Spinach, mesculin, endives and cabbages – fiber• Soups – broths / veggies, 50% increase wt loss• Drink greens - loaded with enzymes and phytonutrients• Kombucha – fermented foods act like fiber that binds to sugar

– Supplements – Dopa macuna instead of Cinamon?
