DIABETES DRUGS CAN CAUSE DEATH
From Health Alert, Dr. Bruce West MD

Diabetes is epidemic in America. And why not–there are so many delicious, disease-promoting processed foods to eat all day, all of which lead to diabetes. Combine this with epic amounts of refined sugars, almost complete lack of exercise, the fact that most people totally ignore the early signs of diabetes, and you really have an epidemic. The medical profession has also made it easy for people to live a life with diabetes. You simply take a pill or two daily, and voila, your blood sugar is normal. What not enough people understand is that this is not a cure for diabetes. It is simply maintenance via chemistry. The disease continues to rage, with all of its long list of debilitating end results. |

Some of the most serious end results are now being tracked back to the drugs used to treat diabetes. At least two medications, pioglitazone (Actos) and rosiglitazone (Avandia), have now been found to potentially cause or worsen congestive heart failure and pulmonary edema. Both of these conditions medically require lots more drugs and they can carry a death sentence. Yet more than 6 million people take these two drugs.
Again, medicine is faced with the typical situation of the cure being worse than the disease. This is particularly sad because diabetes is a curable condition. By following four simple lifestyle changes you can prevent and even cure diabetes, and not have to worry about any drugs at all.
1. Avoid the #1 cause of Type 2 Diabetes– bad food.
Start first by avoiding bad food. This can be done simply by instituting a low-carbohydrate, Mediterranean--type diet.

2. To prevent and even reverse Type 2 Diabetes-exercise.
Next, start exercising. In this case strength exercising is a must. When your muscles strain it s the only time blood glucose gets into the cells without insulin. So start training now. The best possible way is the Slow Bum Fitness Revolution strength building program. This can be done by anyone at any age, and the side effects are wonderful. They include becoming more fit, becoming more insulin sensitive (preventing or eliminating Syndrome X and Diabetes), becoming more stable and independent, and reversing the biological clock by up to 20 years.
Order a copy of the book The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution„ by Hahn, Eades, and Eades, published by Broadway books. You will find it in any bookstore. Or you can order it at 30% or more off at www. amazon.com. It will make exercising easy, fun, and provide the foundation for your recovery from diabetes.

3. To end Type 2 Diabetes–use the right supplements.
Next use the right supplements. All diabetics must take whole food supplements in order to restore proper insulin functions daily. Combined with the low-carbohydrate diet and exercise, this protocol is a winner. 4. To get yourselves off the rolls of Type 2 Diabetics–reduce your stress. And finally reduce your stress levels. High stress is both good and bad. The stress of exercising builds strong bones. But the constant emotional stress of a bad job, relationship, or whatever can induce chronic high insulin levels and eventual insulin insensitivity which is the definition of Type 2 Diabetes. |
Reduce your stress with exercise, deep breathing, Yoga, meditation, volunteer work, or whatever makes you happy.
Summary
lf you are taking diabetes drugs, be aware of the two that are proven to be dangerous, and also understand that other diabetes drugs are under investigation for life-threatening side effects. Simply get off the drugs bandwagon.
These four lifestyle changes are the real way to treat the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes. Powerful drugs that mask the symptoms and can damage or kill you do nothing to treat the underlying cause of the disease. The choice is yours.
