Quotes about Diabetes and Sugar from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"In another variety, the Barley Enzymes are mixed with 40% corn grits, fermenting the com Starch into the superior Sugar Maltose.
•RICE SYRUP Sprouted barley mixed with cooked rice ferments rice Starch into 35-50% Sugar, 35-80% Maltose, and 20-60% glucose; having Protein and B-Vitamins.
•PANOCHA Boiled down Sugar cane from Mexico, less sweet than sugar; is contraband because it does not conform to the 96% purity dictated domestic or imported Sugar in the United States.
•MOLASSES A by-product of Sugar manufacture, Cane concentrate, is approximately 1/3 sugar; with 10% Minerals Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, and Chromium; the Vitamins B-Complex. Use unsulfured molasses." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book)
| "As powerful as they are, enzymes cannot act alone. They require adequate amounts of other substances, known as coenzymes, to be fully active. Among the most important coenzymes are the B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.
COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE ENZYMES
The majority of commercially available enzymes are digestive enzymes extracted from various sources. Enzymes are not manufactured synthetically. Most commercial enzyme products are made from animal enzymes, such as pancreatin and pepsin, which help in the digestion of food once it has reached the lower stomach and the intestinal tract." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book)
| "While not technically an enzyme itself, it interacts with digestive enzymes as they perform their functions.
Metabolic enzymes are enzymes that catalyze the various chemical reactions within the cells, such as energy production and detoxification. Metabolic enzymes govern the activities of all of the body's organs, tissues, and cells. They are the workers that build the body from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Metabolic enzymes are found doing their specific work in the blood, organs, and tissues. Each body tissue has its own specific set of metabolic enzymes." - Phyllis A.

| "LI If fasting Sugar levels, normally the lowest of the day, are consistently higher than Sugar readings taken after meals, consider cutting back on the amount of dietary protein. Once the body's protein requirements are met, the liver slowly converts about half of the excess into blood Sugar.
LI Do not use extra insulin to "cover" indulging in sweets. Extra insulin causes carbohydrates to be stored as glycogen in the liver, temporarily keeping blood sugars from going unusually high." - Phyllis A.

| "Betaine HC1 is derived from Sugar beets. When new, HC1 capsules and tablets are almost white in color, but sometimes they can turn a deep purple color when they age. Supplemental HC1 is not sold in powder or liquid form because contact with the teeth can damage tooth enamel. HC1 has a sulfurlike odor.
Superoxide dismutase occurs naturally in a variety of food sources, including alfalfa, barley grass, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, wheatgrass, and most dark green plants.
As powerful as they are, enzymes cannot act alone. They require adequate amounts of other substances, known as coenzymes, to be fully active. Among the most important coenzymes are the B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc." - Phyllis A.

YEAST_
Products and Uses: A single-celled fungus, which produces enzymes that change Sugar to alcohol and carbon dioxide. Used in the fermentation of sugars, molasses, and cereals for alcohol. It is considered a food supplement and source of vitamins. Used in baked, cooked, brewed food and beverage products.
Precautions: Harmless when used for intended purposes.
Synonyms: BARM ? SACCHAROMYCETACEAE
YLANG YLANG OIL_
Products and Uses: Derived from a plant that grows in the Philippines and added to fragrances, perfumes, and colognes. It is also used in fruit and cola-flavored soft drinks." - Grace Ross Lewis, 1001 Chemicals in Everyday Products (Get the book)
| "Green tea also keeps Sugar out of the bloodstream in the first place by inhibiting the enzymes in the mouth and intestines that break down carbohydrates into simple sugars.
• Ear infections, eczema, and periodontal disease. Green tea catechins prevent Streptococcus mutans from forming dental plaque. (This may explain why early Asians cleaned their teeth with whisks of green tea leaves—before the invention of toothpaste.) Green tea's antimicrobial effects make it useful for other conditions as well, such as ear infections and eczema.
• Herpesvirus infection." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies (Get the book)
| "Dairy Products
Cataracts often develop in infants who are deficient in the enzymes required to break down galactose, a milk Sugar. However, even with normal levels of these enzymes, it has been suggested that an inability to properly break down galactose is an important factor in approximately thirty percent of cataract patients.12 However, this factor appears to be significant only in diabetic cataract formation and is probably not relevant to senile cataract formation (for further discussion, see the section on Diabetes Mellitus)." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book)
| "She recommends looking for a supplement that includes as many of the following enzymes as possible: protease and pancreatin for protein digestion, amylase for starches, lipase for fat, cellulase for vegetable fibers, lactase for milk Sugar, and maltase and sucrase for other types of sugars.
Take the supplement before meals, following the dosage recommendations on the label. It's safe to take it indefinitely.
PROFESSIONAL CARE
If you have chronic belching—that is, it happens all the time, you can't control it, and you feel abdominal discomfort—you should see a gastroenterolo-gist to rule out more serious problems, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, an ulcer, or other stomach disorders.
Maybe you don't just belch after meals." - Bill Gottlieb, Alternative Cures: The Most Effective Natural Home Remedies for 160 Health Problems (Get the book)
| "Side effects: Rare, but may include muscle pain, muscle weakness, joint pain, digestive tract upset, headache, peripheral neuropathy (pain, tingling, numbness in the extremities), cognitive problems, depression, rash, blood Sugar changes, shortness of breath, pancreatitis, sexual difficulties, and elevated liver enzymes.
Cost: Variable. Can range from $66 for generic lovastatin to $125 for a month's supply of Lipitor. Add approximately $25 for coenzyme Q1D (200 to 300 milligrams daily). take them, this number exceeds 50 million.
Statins are highly effective for middle-aged men with coronary heart disease." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book)
| "Otto Warburg, twice winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, stated that "The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of Sugar." Tibetan medicine warns against sweet, white foods in cancer, especially white Sugar.46
• Salt and excessive sodium in general, according to Gerson, is a major cause of cancer. His theory claims that all chronic disease starts with loss of potassium from cells and a resultant invasion of sodium plus water (edema), causing loss of electrical potential, improper enzyme formation, and reduced cell oxidation." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book)
| "However, honey does contain some minerals and enzymes and thus does not upset the body's mineral balance as much as Sugar.
For centuries honey has been used as medicine. All types of honey, both raw and heated, work naturally to harmonize the liver, neutralize toxins, and relieve pain. Its warming/cooling energy is neutral. In addition, pasteurized or cooked honey moistens dryness and treats dry or hoarse throat and dry cough. Both raw and heated types of honey are useful for treating stomach ulcers, canker sores, high blood pressure, and constipation and can be applied directly to burns." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book)
| "For chronic diarrhea, she recommends a low-disaccharide diet that eliminates or limits foods with lactose (found in milk products), sucrose (table Sugar found in processed foods), and maltose (found in malted milk, candies, and corn syrup). You should also avoid Sugar alcohols used as artificial sweeteners, such as Sorbitol, which can contribute to gas and diarrhea, as well as starches such as corn and breads, pasta, and other flour products.
If you avoid or significantly reduce all of these for 1 to 2 weeks or more, and your diarrhea lessens or stops altogether, you've probably identified the diarrhea-causing culprit(s) in your diet, and you'll know to avoid these foods in the future, she says." - Bill Gottlieb, Alternative Cures: The Most Effective Natural Home Remedies for 160 Health Problems (Get the book)
| "Curcumin increases the production of enzymes that digest Sugar and fat, and stops cholesterol from crystallizing into gallstones. Liberal use of turmeric in the diet has a similar, although less pronounced, effect.
• Halitosis and periodontal disease. Turmeric acts against gum inflammation by halting the action of a gene that creates gum-irritating chemicals. This robs bacteria of a site for growth, and helps prevent both bad breath and periodontal disease. If relying on dietary turmeric to prevent bad breath, it is important to avoid use of curries combining turmeric with the herbs that cause bad breath, such as garlic.
• Heart attack." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies (Get the book)
| "In nondiabet-ics, once sorbitol is formed it is broken down into fructose—another simple Sugar. This conversion to fructose allows the sorbitol to be excreted from the cell. Unfortunately, in the diabetic with frequent elevations in blood Sugar levels, sorbitol accumulates and plays a major role in the development of the chronic complications of Diabetes.
The mechanism by which sorbitol is involved in the development of diabetic complications is best understood by considering its involvement in cataract formation.
Cataracts are opacities that occur in the lens of the eye (see Cataracts)." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book)
