Conventional treatment of diabetes

Diabetes type II was maggiormante with sulfaniluree or with
biguanide (of which the only currently marketed is metformin,
because of the biguanide was the least harmful to the body), in
increase the sensitivity of tissues to insulin and to stimulate
pancreas to secrete more insulin. This would appear to be a solution
ideal, but it is?
Dr. Whitaker says: "In terms of effectiveness, in 40% of cases, the
glycaemia can no longer be considered controlled by these substances after three months
continuous treatment at a dosage sufficient. Diabetes is a
chronic disease whose duration coincides with the duration of life of the patient
and biguanide sulfaniluree and generally lose their effectiveness with
time. "

Generally, control of diabetes over the long term, the rate of
success of this type of medication reaches the sufficient only for the
20-30%. Furthermore there is evidence that these drugs produce side effects
harmful long-lasting, aggravated as they extended their recruitment is
also demonstrated their contribution to various complications and finally to
death of the patient.
The observer program on diabetes by the group at the
(UDGP) concluded a study on effects of recruitment
long duration of tolbutamide (drug sulfanilureo used in the U.S.) and has
concluded that the rate of mortality due to stroke can be considered the
250% greater for patients receiving tolbutamide compared to the
control group that consisted of diabetics whose control of diabetes
Type II was under the sole diet. The drug riultava magnify the
risk of heart disease that diabetics should already include
complications of their disease.
Other well-known side-effects of such drugs are hypoglycaemia,
allergic skin reactions, headache, fatigue, indigestion,
nausea and vomiting and damage the liver. Approximately one in every five
patients can have long-term benefits, but 100% of these patients
address potentially serious risks. "

Dr. Michael Berger, Professor, MS University of Dusseldorf,
Faculty of Medicine, in his book on the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus,
adds: "Unfortunately, the use of sulfaniluree and biguanide was
taken as the basis and treatment protocol, and is certainly more
easy to prescribe a pill than to educate the patient about the
his illness and the possibility of alternative intervention, ranging from
diet exercise through opportunities for intervention
fitoterapico or homeopathic and other considerations. "



Natural treatment of diabetes

Certain vitamins and natural supplements were found to be very
effective in controlling diabetes. The best known and probably the most
popular among these is the potassium ascorbate. Clinical studies on diabetic
have indicated that dietary supplement with potassium ascorbate can
decrease levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol while increasing the
HDL cholesterol and decreases weight. All'ascorbato addition of potassium,
Dr. Andrew Weil, an expert in nutrition, suggested to try some
Traditional remedies for lowering blood sugar levels, including the Gymnema
Silvestre. This native plant of tropical forests in India, according
Recent scientific research has efficacy in treating both the type I
that the type II diabetes.

But even some vitamins, minerals and nutrients play a natural
important role in the control and prevention of the onset of diabetes:

Magnesium - for enzyme systems and pH balance. The lack of
Magnesium is very common in diabetics and magnesium may prevent some
complications of diabetes such as heart disease and retinopathy.

Vitamin B6 - the levels of vitamin B6 inside cells
body appear to be related to magnesium content of the cell. Ie
without vitamin B6, magnesium will not enter inside the cell and,
therefore, it will be useless.

Manganese - intervenes to "fix" the functioning of the pancreas and is a
cofactor of key enzymes in the metabolism of glucose. Diabetics
are normally subject to only have a half of the manganese
individuals in good health.

Vitamin C - spoke in support of vascular and immune system. And
as the vehicle of vitamin C is easier dall'insulina, many
diabetics are deficient in this crucial vitamin.

Vitamin E - take action to improve the movement and action
insulin, prevent complications in long-term continuation
of the disease.

Zinc - the lack of zinc is associated with diabetes.

Omega-3 - diabetics are generally lacking fatty acid
essential or have an imbalance in this respect. Omega-3 has been shown between
best triglycerides.

Vitamin B12 - is necessary in the prevention of diabetic neuropathy.

Coenzyme Q10 - stimulates production of insulin.

Digestive enzymes - particularly useful when the pancreas does not work
optimally.

Chelation therapy - effective in preventing complications of diabetes.
