Stable blood glucose levels are of extreme importance. Glucose is necessary to produce energy for cellular functions. When glucose levels fall to hypoglycemic levels, cells cannot function normally and symptoms such as nervousness, headache, confusion, convulsions or diabetic coma occur. Maintaining a stable blood sugar level is essential for any diabetic or hypoglycemic patient.
Insulin is the standard school medicine answer to diabetes and has been for a long time. However, patients who become dependent on insulin may need higher and higher doses of it as the disease develops. Insulin is not always effective and may at times do more harm than good. Simply feeding the body insulin that the body itself cannot manufacture anymore is oftentimes not a life-long solution.
Several natural approaches have proven highly beneficial. A extensive study in Canada has shown the beneficial effects of the trace mineral vanadium. People could literally get off insulin after having been dependent for 20 or 30 years. It is a very powerful substance, vanadyl sulfate is used. Dosage must be gradually increased and the patient closely monitored.
Insulin is made by sulfhydril amino acids – methionine, cystine and cysteine, these are certainly helpful.
Chromium – it is nontoxic , it stabilizes blood sugar, it supplies everything that is needed for proper conversion of glucagons. Patients can take up to 1000mg of chromium a day.
There are a lot of approaches to curing diabetes today. Insulin is not the only answer!
