"The dramatic increase in type-2 diabetes among children is an ominous symptom of the Culture of Death lifestyle. How much more suffering and disability do we need to wake up from this deadly lifestyle and diet of the Culture of Death? COSTS TO SOCIETY By 2025, the largest increases in diabetes prevalence will take place in developing countries. Each year an additional 7 million people worldwide develop diabetes. An even greater number die from cardiovascular disease made worse by diabetes-related lipid disorders and hypertension." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"With more than 90 percent of these cases known as type-2 diabetes (formerly known as adult-onset diabetes), we must seriously consider what is going wrong! Type-1 diabetes used to be called juvenile diabetes. This type of diabetes usually occurs in children and is the result of an autoimmune attack on the pancreas. This leaves these children without any insulin; therefore, they must take insulin to survive. However, I am going to focus my attention in this chapter to type-2 diabetes mellitus because this is the type of diabetes that is increasing to epidemic proportions." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"Excess weight is a culprit in the onset and severity of many health problems: hypertension, high cholesterol, type-2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, respiratory problems, and some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon). Excessive weight also complicates symptoms associated with neurological and orthopedic problems. If your health is poor and you want to recover, you cannot carry excess weight. For all these reasons, I close this chapter with a hypnotic weight loss method. Hypnosis is clinically proven to result in weight loss." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"These symptoms may include type-2 diabetes, obesity with an inability to lose weight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and coronary heart disease. Some 655,000 people are newly diagnosed each year, and it is estimated that an equal 655,000 cases are not diagnosed. Some estimates cite some 47 million people with the basket of symptoms known as Syndrome X. A classic symptom and hint of the metabolic syndrome is the accumulation of fat in the abdomen and the inability to lose fat and weight.

"In addition, the sugar consumers had an 82 percent increased risk of developing type-2 diabetes. "The message is: Anyone who cares about their health or the health of their family would not consume these beverages," said Walter C.

"According to a 2004 study reported in the American journal of Clinical Nutrition, the rise of type-2 diabetes since 1980 has closely paralleled the increased use of sweeteners, particularly corn syrup. Data collected from the study of 51,603 nurses in the United States found that women who drank one serving of non-diet soda or fruit punch daily, which was sweetened with either sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, gained more weight, an average of 10.3 pounds, than women who drank less than one per month. The study was conducted over four years." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Rezulin In 1996 Lutwak (still at FDA) resurfaced as one of several agency medical reviewers who objected to FDA approval of the Warner-Lambert type-2 diabetes drug, Rezulin (troglitazone). FDA medical reviewer Dr. John L. Gueriguian was the first to sound the alarm about potentially serious liver and heart problems,80 recommending in October of 1996 that FDA not approve the drug.81 Gueriguian identified potential liver and heart toxicity.82 In response, Dr. Murray M." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"A recent study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism measured testosterone levels of 103 men with type-2 diabetes and found that 33 percent of them had low free testosterone levels.14 The median age of these men was 54.7 years. In this study, the men seemed to have lowered levels of the pituitary hormones that control testosterone production. This is interesting because it suggests that diabetes lowers free testosterone levels by a process unrelated to aging. Essentially, this means that age-related declines in testosterone levels are magnified in the presence of diabetes." - James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.)

"Pterostilbene is known to help regulate blood sugar and may help fight type-2 diabetes. Quercetin: This is found to be the most active of the flavonoids in studies, and many medicinal plants owe much of their activity to their high quercetin content. It has demonstrated significant antiinflammatory activity because of direct inhibition of several initial processes of inflammation. Also quercetin shows remarkable anti-tumour properties. Resveratrol: A class of polyphenol compounds produced as a part of a plant's defense system against disease." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.)

"The Center for Media and Democracy tries to keep track of these abuses: On January 27, [2006] KPIX-5 in San Francisco devoted nearly three minutes to Exubera, the first inhalable insulin treatment for Type-1 and type-2 diabetes approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While any viewer could see that the CBS report had nothing but praise for the new Pfizer product, they might be surprised to learn that half the praise was supplied by Pfizer itself....In its 10:00 PM feature, KPIX-5 began with legitimate reporting...." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"As you will see, throwing billions of dollars at research projects to find cures for osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease and type-2 diabetes, without addressing vitamin D deficiency, is absurd. However, there will be opposition from the powers of darkness, because such information does not sell drugs, sunscreens and medical treatments. How much supplementation is necessary to produce optimal levels of vitamin D? To understand vitamin D supplementation, let's first define a few terms: 1. International Unit (IU). One IU is equal to 0." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"The doctor told him his lifestyle puts him at risk for heart disease and type-2 diabetes. In othet words, his diet is killing him. The doctor advised him to lay off the caffeine, soda pop, processed foods, and red meat. Batty listened politely and asked for medication to cure his ailments. The physician raised an eyebrow and wrote Barry three prescriptions as he warned him to take better care of himself. Since then Barry has ignored the advice. It's his life, his body, and he'll live any way he darn well pleases. Barry is proud of his defiance. Nobody is going to tell him what to do." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"In addition, another 13 million have type-2 diabetes. The types of oils we eat play a major role in both of these related conditions. More about this later. What Makes the Bad Fats Bad The N-6 fats play a major role in how cells work. They do this by being converted by special enzymes into powerful chemicals called eicosanoids. (Figure 4). The basic N-6 fatty acid is called alpha-linoleic acid (18:2 N-6). This is the fatty acid present in all the vegetable oils the American Heart Association and the government previously told you to eat in unlimited amounts." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"A person usually needs only to stop eating fat, sugar and refined flour and increase whole-food intake—especially vegetables, fruits and whole grains—and walk at least two miles daily to reverse type-2 diabetes. Some "experts" say that diabetes is due to carbohydrates, but they fail to differentiate between refined products (white flour, fruit juices and sugars) and whole brown rice, whole fruits and whole-grain wheat). All carbohydrates are not the same! Excessive fat consumption was identified as the primary cause of diabetes in 1927, when Dr. E.P." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.) "In type-1 diabetes, insulin injections are necessary to keep the diabetic alive. In type-2 diabetes, insulin is sometimes necessary, and sometimes "hypoglycemic drugs" are sufficient to control serum sugar levels. Though the result of diabetes-chronically high blood sugar and its associated illnesses-is the same for both types, their causes are completely different. Type-1 is usually an autoimmune disease; the body's immune system attacks the beta cells of the pancreas and the pancreas stops producing insulin." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"However, I am going to focus my attention in this chapter to type-2 diabetes mellitus because this is the type of diabetes that is increasing to epidemic proportions. Why has such an increase in the number of people developing this disease occurred? Is there any way you can personally decrease the risk of developing diabetes? Absolutely. Meet Joe Joe was forty-one when he came into my office for a routine annual physical. He was feeling great and had absolutely no complaints. He just felt he needed a thorough checkup because he hadn't had a physical for several years." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"Pregnant mothers exposed to oxybenzone gave birth to babies with low birth weights,52 which "programs" the developing child for greater risks of heart disease, hypertension, type-2 diabetes and other diseases in adulthood.54 Furthermore, sunlight causes the chemical to become a potent allergen5556and to form free radicals.53 Other dangers of sunscreen chemicals are their potential "gender-bending" characteristics; they increase estrogen and decrease testosterone in men53,59 and may be partly responsible for the nearly 50% reduction of sperm count in the last few decades." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"Belly fat is a telltale sign of abnormal fluctuations of blood sugar and insulin levels, prediabetes, and full-blown type-2 diabetes, all of which can negatively affect thinking processes, concentration, mood, behavior, and energy levels. Chronically high levels of Cortisol also lower levels of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a hormone that helps us to maintain youthfulness and sexuality and resist stress, and protects us against depression. Are You Stressed? For many people, that's an easy question to answer. If you feel like you're stressed, you probably are." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"The Metabolic Syndrome is an alteration of metabolism causing abnormal blood lipids (high triglycerides, low HDL-cholesterol, and high bad form LDL-cholesterol), hypertension, and type-2 diabetes. We are now seeing an explosion of this syndrome that is affecting millions of our youth. Overall, some 41 million Americans are affected by this disorder, making it a major killer. We know that a diet high in sugar, certain saturated fats, and N-6 fats can cause this syndrome. It is less well known that MSG and similar food additives also can cause the syndrome." - Russell L.

"In Hanky's book on the subject, Tired of Being Tired (Putnam Pub Group, 2001), she says adrenal burnout is serious and can cause anxiety, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, depression, migraines, type-2 diabetes, infertility, heart disease, sore muscles, and weight gain or loss. HABITS THAT LEAD TO ADRENAL BURNOUT According to Jesse Lynn Hanley, MD, author of Tired of Being Tired, the following characteristics and habits describe the ideal candidate for adrenal burnout." - Holly Lucille, Creating and Maintaining Balance: A Woman's Guide to Safe Natural Hormone Health (Get the book.)
