Four Diabetic Patients

• #1: 26 yo male. Jogs 6 miles a day, eats 1000 calories a day and

meditates. His glucose and early onset heart disease resist treatment.

• #2: 61 yo female. Osteoporosis, Cardiovascular Dx. and her Hgb A1c

is 12.5. She is taking 11 medications and it is difficult to discern which

of her many health complaints are her disease or her medications?

• #3: 42 yo male. Must exercise, eat a stringent diet - NO cheating -

and still has uncontrollable blood sugar.

• #4. 49 yo female. Exercises 6 days a week. Eats ‘clean, lean,

vegetable based diet’ and her blood sugar is consistently unstable but

her deep depression outweighs her concern about her blood sugar.

These 4 patients have in common ONLY blood

sugar and insulin dysregulation. Yet, all 4 of

these patients have the SAME diagnosis:

• Highly acidic.

• As humans we can’t turn sugar into vitamin C.

• Glucose and ascorbic acid compete with each other.

• Diet high in sugar will result in heat, dampness and

ultimately infection and lower vitamin C.

GLYCATION

• GLYCATION triggered by rapidly digesting carbs & sugar

• Blood Sugar Spikes Quickly = Formation of AGEs

on symptoms now associated with Type 2 Diabetes.

• Shown in 1800’s to be rich in GUANIDINE

• 1930’s demonstrated guanidine effective in reducing blood sugar

• Guanidine too strong with harsh side effects for consistent use.

discovers Glucophage (Metformin).

•“Although replacing sedentary behavior with

walking and moderate-to-vigorous physical

activity are associated with the lowest mortality

risk, replacements with equal amounts of

standing and sleeping (in low sleepers only)

are also linked to substantial mortality risk

reductions.” Dr. Stamakis• https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26419654

Can TV Kill?

embolism for every 2 hours of TV

watched each day beyond a threshold

Causes of Premature Death

Immunosenescence of Aging

•“Aging is a complex process that negatively impacts the

development of the immune system and its ability to function.

The mechanisms that underlie these age-related defects are

broad and range from defects in the haematopoietic bone

marrow to defects in peripheral lymphocyte migration,

maturation and function. The thymus is a central lymphoid

organ responsible for production of naïve T cells, which play a

vital role in mediating both cellular and humoral immunity.”
