10 Natural Substances That May Help Cure Type 1 Diabetes

'Could the long-sought after cure for type 1 diabetes be as close as your kitchen cupboard? An accumulating body of scientific research appears to point in exactly that direction.

One so-called 'incurable disease' that afflicts millions of people around the world is type 1 diabetes. Unlike type 2 diabetes, where the body becomes resistant to its own insulin, type 1 is characterized by the inability of the body to produce enough insulin, as the beta cells within the pancreas which are responsible for the production of insulin (and the proinsulin from which it is made) are either destroyed or seriously impaired.'

'There are few subjects on which opinions are as divided as nutrition. Nearly everyone agrees: an excellent diet with lots of fruits and vegetables is healthy and will prevent many diseases. Such a diet is chock full of essential nutrients and antioxidants. 

Then, how come condemnation of supplemental antioxidants gets so much press coverage worldwide?

How antioxidants work

Oxygen is necessary for life, but on the other hand it inevitably generates reactive molecules throughout all the tissues of the body. These free radicals are dangerous for any cell because they can damage essential molecules such as DNA and the enzymes necessary for proper function of the cell.'

'A study published in Cancer Causes Control suggests that glucosamine together with chondroitin may act as an anti-inflammatory to offset the development of colorectal cancer.

45% Reduced Risk
High use of the supplements was found to reduce colorectal cancer risk by 45% compared to non-use, however this was below the researchers' threshold to be statistically significant.
But they concluded: "Since colorectal cancer is major cause of morbidity and mortality, it is important that we seek potential preventive strategies which are safe, effective, and easily implemented.'

Avoid Diabetes & Heart Disease with Sunlight or Vitamin D3

'Modern medicine has a lot to answer for, not the least of which is the harm done by treating sunlight as dangerous. The heart disease and diabetes epidemics can be laid at their feet for that travesty alone.'

'A new study adds to the litany of research demonstrating the enormous benefits of Vitamin D₃, and by extension, sunlight. The latest, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, documents that Vitamin D₃ is a critical factor in diabetic heart disease¹.

The inflammatory process is damaged in diabetes. Among other things, it causes monocytes, a type of white blood cell, to adhere to blood vessel walls. When diabetic patients’ blood levels of Vitamin D₃ [25(OH)D] are under 30 ng/mg, monocytes were far more likely to adhere. When patients with diabetes maintained a Vitamin D₃ level greater than 30 nanograms per milliliter, far fewer monocytes adhere. Thus, the clogging of arteries, which is associated with heart disease, is much improved when diabetic patients have adequate levels of Vitamin D_3'.
