NOTE: Commonly used drugs like birth control, antidepressants, blood pressure drugs and cholesterol-lowering meds can do the same thing…So too can excess exercise, coffee and tea. Any one of these above variables cause overtly high levels of sugar (sometimes mistaken for Type I diabetes)

Surprise Discovery about Hormones
In time, I learned that the hormone insulin – from my pancreas – was being spiked due to my own massive sugar intake from breakfast cereals, processed milk, yogurt, rolls, donuts, fruit and juice. Since insulin forces muscle cells to suck sugar out of the blood, my system was being inadvertently drained of it as the hormonal wave of protection flooded my bloodstream. Therefore, the real problem was HIGH BLOOD SUGAR...SUGAR EXACERBATING the entire problem! Furthermore, my sugar balancing hormones known as glucagon and testosterone weren’t doing their job due to lack of amino acids, protein and healthy fats in my diet, which meant my body could not manufacture its own sugar when needed… And why should it if I’m choking down Jolly Ranchers? |

I learned more... My Body Doesn’t Need Processed Sugar
The body regulates its own sugar requirements by converting fats, protein and amino acids into sugar (glucose) as needed. Any disruption in this precarious ecosystem is going to shunt this innate hormonal protection. Therefore, nobody requires processed sugar, whatsoever. I also learned that if my rate of sugar consumption continued at its current pace, I’d become insulin resistant, then Type II diabetic. You see, eventually, muscle cells get so “overworked” by excess insulin that they become “resistant” to its sugar-removing properties. Plus, since most nutrients - along with sugar - are ferried into the cell by insulin, I’d suffer from malnutrition for years to come, and therefore age prematurely!
How Sugar Ages You Sugar’s ability to age you is not inexplicable. Sugar consumption revs up a biological process known as “cell division.” Normally, this allows your body to repair itself. But, with excess sugar, it forces cells to divide prematurely and puts aging into overdrive. Every time your cells divide, a small portion of your DNA is lost. This is the shoestring section at the end of the chromosome, called the telomere. As you blindly consume sugar, the telomere gets shorter and shorter. Finally, it disappears and the cell stops dividing and dies. Physical aging occurs as more and more cells reach the end of their telomeres and die. As sugar consumption continues, your muscles get weaker, wrinkles appear and eyesight fades. Eventually the organs begin to fail and death occurs. You cannot avoid your telomeres becoming shorter as time goes by. But the good news is that by learning how to stop craving sugar (and stop eating it), your hormones can dramatically influence the speed at which it occurs. Think of it just like the wear and tear you might put on a car. The true “age” of your car has very little to do with the number of years that go by since it was manufactured. |

After all, a car can sit in the garage for many years and still run like new and have its entire useful life ahead of it. On the other hand, a two-year-old car, which has been driven every day and has 150,000 miles on the odometer, might be near the end of its useful life. In other words, it has little to do with the chronological age of the car... and everything to do with the number of miles and the amount of fuel the car has burned during that time. The same is true for your body. The more sugar calories you eat, the faster you age, and visa-versa.

How To Read a Fasting Blood Sugar Test
Even today, most doctors aren’t reading or interpreting blood sugar levels accurately. When the test result comes back, it’s like the Mothership landed on The Planet of The Apes and everyone is sitting around, pondering what it could mean. It isn’t that hard. Whether you’re an adult or child, here is how to read a fasting blood sugar test: Blood Sugar Range in mg/dL Type 70 Hypoglycemic 70-99 Normal 100-125 Insulin resistant ; Pre type ll diabetes 126 or higher Type l or type ll diabetes |
None of these values are labels for life! In fact, these numbers alone are not very helpful and they should never be used to dictate what actions should be taken.
Blood Tests Alone Can’t Diagnose You
Your test results are only a snapshot of a much bigger picture, not a tool for diagnosis. It’s very likely that your blood sugar right now is vastly different than it was one hour ago, which means that if you go by blood sugar levels alone, you could be diabetic one hour, healthy the next. To get a better idea of your overall health, couple your fasting sugar levels to other symptoms of illness like body fat percentage and insulin levels.
Why Insulin is The Worst Medication for a Type II Diabetic
If you have high blood sugar coupled to high body fat, then you can bet that you’re headed toward Type II diabetes. No prescription drug or any type of insulin – commonly being used today – is going to help you. In fact, insulin is the worst thing for a Type II diabetic. It’s like throwing gas on the Type II diabetes fire. Type II diabetes is an illness of too much insulin…. Would you give more rotten food to someone suffering from food poisoning in hope that they’d get nutrients? If you are a child or teen showing high blood sugar numbers, and are overweight, you are NOT Type I diabetic simply because you registered high sugar. You are most likely Type II diabetic and you can verify with another blood test for insulin.

Type I diabetics don’t have insulin. To make this more clear:
Blood Sugar Range in mg/dL Type
126 or Higher AND Overweight Type II Diabetic Plus Showing Insulin in Blood
126 or Higher AND Thin With Type I Diabetic No Insulin in Blood
Blood Sugar Range in mg/dL Type
126 or Higher AND Overweight Type II Diabetic Plus Showing Insulin in Blood
126 or Higher AND Thin With Type I Diabetic No Insulin in Blood
Your entire hormone balance rests in blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity. Taking charge of it is taking charge of your future. Don’t leave it up to your doctor because you’re the one who has to live with it. And managing it is a constant battle, especially today considering the barrage of “health foods” doped up with sugars and artificial flavors and lacking in healthy fats and proteins. No doubt, “healthy eating” is killing us, slowly.
Best Way to Exterminate Candida
Eat too much sugar and you also get candida, inside you. Just like bacteria, candida is a living thing. Since it has a cell wall made of chitin (a molecular cousin of sugar), scientists classify it as a fungus. This bug causes all kinds of trouble like headaches, depression and even autoimmune diseases. It can be hell on earth. And if you want to get rid of it, stop eating sugar and use the following supplements daily, for about three weeks, to exterminate the pesky invader:
