DIABETES EDUCATION

DIABETIC CHILDREN AND MAGNESIUM

INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL VERITAS ASSOCIATION

Mark Sircus Ac., OMD


On Monday, November 7, 2005, The Associated Press said that “About 2 million U.S. children ages 12 to 19 have a pre-diabetic condition linked to obesity and inactivity that puts them at risk for full-blown diabetes and cardiovascular problems, government data suggest.” One in 14 boys and girls in a nationally representative sample had the condition. Among the overweight adolescents, it was one in six. The study in question appears in November's Pediatrics. It is based on data involving 915 youngsters who participated in a 1999-2000 national health survey.[i]


The autism disaster is happening at a rate of one child in approximately 166, though if one counts all the severe learning disabilities we are also talking about one in six. What is happening to the nation’s children? The CDC does not know because it has its head stuck in the bird flu sand. And the FDA does not know because it has been too busy allowing the pharmaceutical companies to poison people.


Dr. Teresa A. Hillier has reported, “Diabetes increased the risk of heart attack and stroke in both age groups, but the increased risk was much larger in younger people. People who had been diagnosed before age 45 were 14 times more likely to have a heart attack and 30 times more likely to have a stroke than their non-diabetic peers. In contrast, older people with diabetes were four times more likely than their peers to have a heart attack and three times more likely to have a stroke.” Hillier and a colleague, Kathryn L. Pedula, based their findings on a study of nearly 8,000 people who were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.[ii]


While type 2 diabetes used to be primarily a problem
of middle and old age, new cases of the illness among
people 30 to 39 have risen 70 percent in the last decade.

What’s happening to our children is an absolute disaster and no words can express the pain and agony that millions of parents are facing in the United States alone. Some day the medical authorities will be held responsible for their failure to address these issues. In the area of autism spectrum disorders the government just does not want to admit that hundreds of thousands of children have been damaged by vaccines laden with mercury. Poisoned is the word but no one at the FDA or CDC knows anything about the dangers of low level toxicity because knowledge in those areas equals guilt and criminal prosecution.

Diabetes has risen by over 14 percent in the last two years.
The CDC estimates that 20.8 million Americans -- 7 percent of
the U.S. population -- have diabetes, up from 18.2 million in 2003. [iii]

Is A Lack of Magnesium Related to Type 2 Diabetes in Obese Children? Dr. Huerta and colleagues say yes in their study titled Magnesium deficiency is associated with insulin resistance in obese children.[iv] Insulin resistance occurs when the body does not use insulin, a protein made by the pancreas, to turn glucose into energy. Children who are obese (seriously overweight) are more likely to have insulin resistance. This might be because they have low magnesium levels in their blood. This study was done to see if obese children get enough magnesium in their diets and if a lack of magnesium can cause insulin resistance and eventually type 2 diabetes. This is the first study linking low magnesium levels to insulin resistance in obese children. Researchers found that 55% of obese children did not get enough magnesium from the foods they ate, compared with only 27% of lean children. Obese children had much lower magnesium levels in their blood than lean children. Children with lower magnesium levels had a higher insulin resistance.

The results of the diet survey showed that obese children got 14.4% less magnesium from the foods they ate than lean children. An important finding was that even though obese and lean children ate about the same number of calories per day, obese children ate more calories from fatty foods than lean children. In addition to not eating enough foods that have a lot of magnesium, obese children might also have problems using magnesium from the foods they eat. Extra body fat can prevent the body’s cells from using magnesium to break down carbohydrates.

When it comes to diabetes there is ample information pointing to magnesium deficiency and chemical poisoning converging in the young but the medical authorities would rather throw more money into diabetic agencies to do more research. It is just too difficult for them to simply address magnesium deficiencies. What would be of greater benefit to these kids’ research or nutritional action? The United States government is involved in a huge cover up of medical and pharmaceutical wrong doings and will just keep on letting things slide as hundreds of thousands of kids each year get sick.

Average levels of bad cholesterol and blood fats called triglycerides were higher in youngsters who had the pre-diabetic condition was also found in the study done by Dr. Hillier. One of the extremely important things about this fact is what Dr. Carolyn Dean shares about statins, magnesium and heart disease. Most diabetics are put on statins, and this is one study which clearly states that magnesium acts as a statin.[v] If these diabetic children were using magnesium, it would also prevent them using these pharmaceutical drugs besides decreasing their risk of CVD. Magnesium is what they need not the medical establishment conducting more studies and research.

Type 2 diabetes can be controlled or prevented through weight loss and by eating a healthier diet. Getting magnesium into the kids at medicinal doses though is not easily achieved. Spirulina and other super green foods like wheat grass juice are high in absorbable magnesium in the form of chlorophyll. IV and intramuscular injections are uncomfortable and expensive. Oral magnesium supplements are not easily absorbable and some are very high in lead. If we could get these magnesium levels in these young children up and prevent diabetes, and if we could raise the levels in the young who are already diagnosed diabetics we would be preventing heart disease, stroke and many other complications that all of these diabetics would eventually face. This we can easily do with magnesium chloride applied transdermally and taken orally in liquid form.
Magnesium is a wonder drug touted by pharmaceutical companies in the emergency room and a simple element, a mineral vital to life and health. Dr. Carolyn Dean said in her book The Miracle of Magnesium, “The more I have learned about magnesium, the more convinced I am that doctors are missing a huge opportunity by not making it one of their “drugs of choice.” Because of the disaster happening with children all doctors need to become acutely aware of the great service they can do to prevent and treat diabetes with magnesium.

Center for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Northwest/Hawaii, Portland, Oregon. Diabetes Care. 2003 Nov;26(11):2999-3005. CONCLUSIONS: Early-onset type 2 diabetes appears to be a more aggressive disease from a cardiovascular standpoint. Although the absolute rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is higher in older adults, young adults with early-onset type 2 diabetes have a much higher risk of CVD relative to age-matched control subjects.

[v] Rosanoff, Andrea. Seelig, Mildred. Comparison of Mechanism and Functional Effects of Magnesium and Statin Pharmaceuticals. Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn (M.S.) Since Mg2+-ATP is the controlling factor for the rate-limiting enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis sequence that is targeted by the statin pharmaceutical drugs, comparison of the effects of Mg2+ on lipoproteins with those of the statin drugs is warranted. Formation of cholesterol in blood, as well as of cholesterol required in hormone synthesis, and membrane maintenance, is achieved in a series of enzymatic reactions that convert HMG-CoA to cholesterol. The rate-limiting reaction of this pathway is the enzymatic conversion of HMG CoA to mevalonate via HMG CoA. The statins and Mg inhibit that enzyme. Large trials have consistently shown that statins, taken by subjects with high LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) values, lower its blood levels 35 to 65%. They also reduce the incidence of heart attacks, angina and other nonfatal cardiac events, as well as cardiac, stroke, and total mortality. These effects of statins derive less from their lowering of LDL-C than from their reduction of mevalonate formation which improves endothelial function, inhibits proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophages, promotes plaque stabilization and regression, and reduces inflammation, Mg has effects that parallel those of statins. For example, the enzyme that deactivates HMG-CoA Reductase requires Mg, making Mg a Reductase controller rather than inhibitor. Mg is also necessary for the activity of lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT), which lowers LDL-C and triglyceride levels and raises HDL-C levels. Desaturase is another Mg-dependent enzyme involved in lipid metabolism which statins do not directly affect. Desaturase catalyzes the first step in conversion of essential fatty acids (omega-3 linoleic acid and omega-6 linolenic acid) into prostaglandins, important in cardiovascular and overall health. Mg at optimal cellular concentration is well accepted as a natural calcium channel blocker. More recent work shows that Mg also acts as a statin.

INSULAID

DIABETES NATURAL MEDICATION

COMBAT INSULIN RESISTANCE AND HELP MAINTAIN GLUCOSE CONTROL

DECREASE THE AFFECTS OF SUGAR ON BLOOD SUGARS

 

Insulaid is a dietary supplement composed of a unique cocktail of proven ingredients. Cinnamon, Chromium, essential elements and natural extracts provide a synergistic effect to maintain endocrine system health and overall support of good health. It contains no cinnmeldehyde or toxins found in other extracts making it safe to consume over long periods. Every ingredient in Insulaid has been experimentally proven to be safe and effective regarding healthy levels of blood sugar, cholesterol and helping the body rid itself of unwanted, damaging free radicals.

Diabetes...

Universally recognized but highly overlooked, ranks seventh among the causes of death in America. It is a disease closely tied to decreased insulin function, as well as high blood sugar levels.

These complications, along with cardiovascular disease and oxidative damage, all stem from the
autoimmune nature of diabetes. Diabetes is a result of the body rejecting insulin through malfunctioning processes.

Insulaid may help to maintain good health through support of the endocrine system.

What is it?

Insulaid is a dietary supplement intended to help maintain good endocrine function, support healthy levels of insulin, glucose, and cholesterol, and to further induce formation of antioxidants which help combat free radical damage, thus promoting a more efficient immune response.

Why should I take it?

There are several compelling reasons to make Insulaid part of your daily routine. Insulaid not only
supports healthy levels of insulin, blood glucose, and cholesterol, but can also help maintain endocrine function. This benefits several essential organs of the body, as well as the processes for which they are responsible. For example, the pancreas, one of the major organs of the endocrine system, serves to sustain a steady glucose level in the blood, as well as helping supply the body with the fuel required to produce stores of energy; Insulaid lends support to this process. Furthermore, Insulaid stimulates the formation of antioxidants, molecules which help combat free radicals. These highly reactive substances can damage or even destroy important cells in the body.

How does Insulaid work?

A closer look at the compounds, minerals, and extracts that are contained within this supplement reveals Insulaid’s potential to assist an individual in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
• Cinnulin PF, the cinnamon extract included in Insulaid, has been proven to protect the body through antioxidant formation while supporting healthy glucose and cholesterol management.
• Chromium is a micronutrient proven to aid in the uptake of glucose into cells by acting as a cofactor and stimulator of insulin regulation.
• The mineral, Vanadium, has been shown to work closely with Chromium in supporting carbohydrate utilization by improving the action of insulin. In addition to Cinnulin PF, Chromium, and Vanadium, several other components contribute to Insulaid’s potency.
For example:
• Through scientific research, Ginseng has been shown to elevate mood, improve psychological performance, and reduce fasting blood sugars and body weight
• Diabetes has proven to be a condition highly induced by inadequate dietary fiber intake.
Fenugreek, a compound of 50% dietary fiber, has been added to Insulaid. Following comprehensive investigation, these ingredients, along with others, have been combined in order to achieve maximum effectiveness, resulting in a completely safe and highly potent supplement.

Are there any side effects?

No. In the course of extensive research, no harmful side effects have presented. Each individual component has undergone hundreds of studies to ensure its safety. Cinnamon and its extracts are generally regarded as safe by the FDA; the cassia extract of cinnamon, Cinnulin PF, is included within our product. Investigations show that it offers antioxidant protection, healthy glucose and cholesterol management, and is low in toxins. All these things equate to its safety for use over long periods of time.

How do I take Insulaid?

For maximum effectiveness, take one capsule before a meal three times daily. We encourage
that with this or any other supplements, you consult your licensed health care professional for
further advice regarding dosing of Insulaid.

How can I be sure that Insulaid is a high quality product?

Our reputation as a distributor of dietary supplements is built upon the fact that our products are
among the best available. All of the ingredients contained within this product have not only been
experimentally proven to be safe and effective, but are all of the utmost purity and potency you
have come to expect from the Transfer Point name. Our goal is to offer only products of the
highest quality, and we are confident that Insulaid sits on a plateau alone.

Who will benefit by taking Insulaid?

Anyone looking to maintain an effective endocrine system, healthy levels of insulin, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels, and receive antioxidant protection would find Insulaid to positively assist in achieving these goals.

Insulaid features a top notch, highly purified, and
experimentally proven list of ingredients:

CinnulinPF® (Cinnamomum Aromaticum bark extract)

DID YOU KNOW???

Apples have been used for hundreds of years as a folk remedy for diarrhea. Sliced thinly, raw apple contains a large amount of pectin which is one of the main ingredients in over-the-counter anti-diarrheals such as Kaopectate. Pectin also tends to interfere with the body's absorption of dietary fats. Pectins tend to produce a type of fat-absorbing gel in the stomach when it comes into contact with the stomach acid.

 

 

CREATE THE MIND-SET TO LOSE WEIGHT THROUGHOUT THE HOLIDAYS

HYPNOSIS FOR WEIGHT LOSS


Controlling your weight is about making choices. The choice of what to eat and how much, whether to exercise and when,
and of course, enjoying and feeling great about these choices.

This is where The Hypnosis Network has provided an EXCELLENT and EFFECTIVE programme to help you achieve your weight goals!

I think we'd all agree that anyone can hand you a diet to follow..to eat this and only this...and some people can take that, follow it and enjoy success. But for most of us...dieting and LIKING IT...enjoying staying with the "plan"...watching your friends and family dig into those fat laden pizzas and "supersized meals"....feeling totally content and happy all the time...WELL..That's another kettle of fish..(not deep fried, if you please)!!!!

The Hypnosis Network has such an esteemed group of therapists- every one of whom holds the minimum of a Ph.D. in a mental health related area. The level of knowledge and integrity that these world class therapists bring to this organization is unmatched anywhere. Each therapist is not only an expert in the use of hypnosis, but is also an authority on the subjects of their recordings. There is simply no other place that you will find such a high level of expertise, experience, and professionalism.

The program "Enjoying Weight Loss" was developed and is led by Dr. Roberta Temes (Dr. Roberta) who is a hypnotist and psycholtherapist. She is on the faculty of Downstate Medical School, SUNY Health Science Center in Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Roberta is the author of many books including the popular, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hypnosis" and she is the editor of "Medical Hypnosis" the first medical school textbook about hypnosis.

 

These products get down to the behaviour itself and changing that so one doesn't return to bad habits after losing the weight because the habits are now different. Of course changing habits is not done overnight...so you work with these CD's for about 3 weeks or so..and then continue to listen to the sections which particularly help you anytime.

 

THE TOXIC CHILD

By Geoffrey Lakeman

SCHOOLGIRL Mollie Clements was dubbed the Toxic Kid after experts found 35 dangerous chemicals in her blood.

Now 11-year-old Mollie's case may help bring major changes in EU environment laws.

Most of the chemicals are in everyday household products such as cosmetics and detergents, nonstick frying pans or food packaging.

They are linked to cancer, birth defects and fertility problems.

But some were banned in Britain 30 years ago.

Mollie's family were among 40 people tested for 108 chemicals as part of a campaign by the Worldwide Fund for Nature for stricter controls on dangerous substances.

This week Mollie flew to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where after seeing her test results MEPs voted in favour of phasing out danger chemicals.

They include the pesticide DDT and PCB, used in electrical goods but banned here in the 70s. The family, from Seaton in Devon, were tested last year. Mum Sara, 43, a nurse, was found to have 32 chemicals. Dad Ian, 46,
a physiotherapist, had 30.

Their 15-year-old son Louis had 17 and daughter Amy, 12, had 30.

Sara said yesterday: "It was shocking when we found out just how many chemicals were in Mollie but I'm sure she isn't alone.

"The situation must be addressed and this is the first major step."

The WWF wants tighter controls under the EU's Reach law - Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals.

It would shift responsibility for proving additives are safe from governments to the chemical industry worldwide and force it to accept much tougher standards.

Justin Woolford, WWF chemicals and health campaign chief, said: "The Government and EU must ensure these chemicals are banned and replaced with safe alternatives."
