Researchers Shocked At Experimental Overnight Diabetes Cure: New Possibilities For Diabetes Cures

• 1) Chili extract makes diabetes go away! Suspecting a link between the nerves and diabetes, an immunologist and a pain expert found that diabetic mice became healthy virtually overnight after they injected chili extract to counteract the effect of malfunctioning pain neurons in the pancreas. This represents a totally new, neurological approach to a diabetes cure, and it is being investigated for humans.

• 2) Getting tough about diet and exercise can work within 3 weeks to get people diabetes free.

• 3) Protecting against risk factors can for many be as good as a diabetes cure. One of the best medical discoveries for protection is to improve glutathione (GSH) levels with nutrition.

Improving the diet to include the building blocks for glutathione protects against oxidative stress and the formation of AGEs(advanced glycation end products). AGEs develop when sugar is oxidized and can affect cellular function and increase risk of heart disease.

• 4) Some weight-loss surgery procedures cure diabetes in 90% of cases, although permanent success for a diabetes cure requires additional life style changes.

1) Shocking Discovery for Future Diabetes Cure

Diabetic mice became healthy virtually overnight after researchers injected a substance to counteract the effect of malfunctioning pain neurons in the pancreas.

Suspecting a link between the nerves and diabetes, researchers got "The biggest shock of our lives," said Dr. Hans Michael Dosch, an immunologist at the Hospital for Sick Children, in Toronto.

He and Dr. Michael Salter, a pain expert at the hospital, used an old experimental trick -- injecting capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot chili peppers, to kill the pancreatic sensory nerves in mice that had an equivalent of Type 1 diabetes. Almost immediately, the islets began producing insulin normally, a virtual diabetes cure. "It was a shock . . . really out of left field, because nothing in the literature was saying anything about this."

Discovery of a critical role for sensory nerves in diabetes opens door to new treatment strategies.

2) Researchers Find Diabetes Cure In 3 to 22 Weeks

“Beating type 2 diabetes by getting tough about your diet and exercising works better than drugs.” says researcher Christian Roberts, PhD.

He conducted a small, controlled, 3-week study at UCLA, where 6 out of 13 overweight or obese men with finished diabetes free, with normal blood sugar levels. What was the formula for this diabetes cure?

• Participants are meals that were low in fat (12 to 15% of calories), moderate in protein (15 to 25%), and high in complex carbs (65 to 70%).

• Participants also walked 45 to 60 minutes in a day.

• They ate low-fat foods and no refined carbs – absolutely no pastries or brownies – which was critical to their success.

VEGAN DIET DIABETES CURE IN 22 WEEKS.

Researchers in Canada and the United States have also shown that people with type 2 diabetes taking oral medications have seen dramatic improvements after switching to a low-fat, vegan diet (Journal published by the American Diabetes Association.)

For instance, Dr. Neal Barnard took a group of diabetics, and put about half on the vegan diet, with the other half on the traditional diabetes regimen. After 22 weeks, those who ate vegan lost almost twice as much weight while reducing both their cholesterol and blood sugar.

"The diet did not restrict carbohydrate, it could be high carbohydrate, the diet didn't restrict calories, it didn't restrict portion size," said Barnard. "If it was 8:30 at night and you were hungry you could go ahead and eat." The diet ruled out animal products, with vegetable oils and fatty fruits like avocados frowned upon.

People in the study attended weekly sessions with dieticians that included cooking lessons to help them get past oatmeal breakfasts and dry salads.

Researchers aren't exactly sure why the diet works as a diabetes cure, but believe it may be responsible for the low rate of diabetes in parts of Africa and Asia, where the diet is mainly plant-based food.

Dr. David Jenkins, who holds the Canada research chair in nutrition and metabolism at the University of Toronto, helped plan the study. He said the findings could pave the way for new ways of treating the disease.

3) Protecting Against Circulatory Problems and Infections

Dr. Jimmy Gutman, a glutathione expert and author explains why this substance plays an important role in the fight against diabetes:

“We have seen that it can prevent circulatory problems such as arteriosclerosis and stroke -- the main causes of diabetic death.”

It turns out that diabetics tend to have critically low glutathione levels in both blood and tissue samples, and this has implications for all the organs, including the eyes, the heart and the kidneys.

Low glutathione levels have been directly linked to circulatory problems:

The American Heart Association journal, Stroke, reported that glutathione levels are indeed, “inversely associated with cardiovascular disease risk.”

In other words, the lower the glutathione levels, the higher the risk of heart disease.

The New England Journal of Medicine has also published findings that link both the risk of heart disease and of diabetes to low glutathione levels. (Vol 349:1605-1613)

Normalizing Diabetes Complications

1) A reduced ability to fight infection, and 2) Damage to the circulatory system, including both small and large blood vessels. Cardiovascular plaque buildup is another result of diabetic complications.

Circulatory damage contributes substantially to diabetic complications and glutathione, while not strictly a diabetes cure, it helps fight the oxidative damage that contributes to this damage.

These complications could be avoided or minimized if diabetics were less prone to infection, and elevated glutathione, or GSH levels have been shown to help accomplish that.

Without an adequate supply of glutathione our immune system will not function effectively, which eventually leads to common illnesses, and even degenerative diseases. While a diabetes cure may be unrealistic, many visits to the doctor or hospital could be avoided if diabetics were less prone to infection.

Diabetics can be considered immune-compromised because they are prone to many more infections than they can normally resist. Their immune systems may be overwhelmed by thrush and other fungal infections of the skin and even of the bloodstream. Bacterial infections are more common and their consequences are serious - gangrene (especially of the toes and foot) and sepsis. Diabetics with any sort of infection must always be treated immediately and aggressively.

• The problem is that glutathione is rapidly consumed on a daily basis through normal metabolism, illness and even exercise.

• It was Dr. Bounous, a career investigator for the Canadian Medical Research Council, who discovered and perfected a protein that delivers to the individual cells of the body the precise precursors they need to stimulate the production of glutathione.

• Glutathone must be manufactured by the body itself rather than taken in pill to be effective.

• The good news is that if you provide your body with sufficient precursors, or building blocks, your production of glutathione will increase.

This can best be done with the proper dietary building blocks.

What Doctors say about raising glutathione for best protection

A Case Study: Deana

Increasingly fatigued, this 32 year-old Texan continued to run her center even after receiving and rejecting a kidney transplant, failing eyesight and dialysis treatments.

Eventually she developed a chronic foot infection that required weekly debriding of dead tissue. Her doctor feared that amputation might prove necessary.

She began taking high doses of a nutraceutical that raises glutathione, and found her energy levels increased over several weeks.

Her kidney function tests and hemoglobin levels also improved. Medication doses for her anemia and hypertension were decreased or eliminated. Peripheral circulation was better. Five months later the foot was healed.

Restoring health by enhancing glutathione is not considered to be a diabetes cure. However, Deana has since married and continues to run her clinic, with her diabetes much in the background now.

4) Weight-loss Surgery Procedures A Diabetes Cure?

Some procedures can cure diabetes in over 90% of the cases, according to Drs Roizen and Oz. In the days after surgery, risk factors like hypertension and diabetes change, so that again and again doctors see that patients get off their insulin and hypertension drugs at one month or less after surgery.

However, it is not magic and will not create permanent success as a diabetes cure without lifestyle changes, but it will make a huge change for virtually everyone who does it and commits to changing lifestyle with appropriate diet and behaviors.
