Dear Friends, www.majesticearth-minerals.com

There are close to 20 million diagnosed cases of diabetes right now in the United States. It is estimated that another 10 to 15 million of us are either undiagnosed or "pre-diabetic." And who knows how many of us are currently caught up in a lifestyle and diet cycle that manifests, ultimately as type II diabetes. No one wants diabetes in his life. A complete cynic one would say only the doctors want diabetes (in their patients). After all, one diabetic patient will pay out, on average, about $250 K over 25 years to those charged with managing his / her symptoms. Figure in indirect cost such as lost workdays, higher insurance, permanent disability, etc. and the $250K figure doubles or triples. Besides managing the disease, itself, one must deal with its many possible complications ranging from stroke, heart disease and kidney failure to amputations, blindness, deadly infections, etc.

What happens, essentially, with diabetes type II, or "insulin resistant" diabetes is that it turns blood to syrup, it "caramelizes" our blood. Every cell in our body is fed by: you guessed it, our blood. Blood is our lifeline. Blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to our cells and removes waste products. There are approximately 30,000 miles of blood vessels in our body. Ask the heart to pump healthy blood through that network of arteries, capillaries and veins and the job is doable. No problem. Ask the heart to pump syrup and now the system strains. Vessels to the extremities are the first to shut down. That is why diabetics often experience extreme pain or neuropathy in their feet. Circulation to the feet becomes so poor that tissue begins to die, becomes gangrenous and has to be removed (amputation). Eyesight fails precisely because the super fine capillaries feeding the eye choke, nutrients can't reach their destination, cells die, tissue is compromised, vital chemical events fail to occur. When the blood turns to syrup every major organ is placed at risk: kidneys, liver, heart lungs, brain, etc.

So, the question is why do the cells become resistant to insulin in the first place? If a cell is not supplied with the raw materials, the essential nutrients, it needs to build and support and maintain the health of its outer wall, that wall won't work properly. It will slow the entry of insulin molecules bearing glucose. It will turn them away so the glucose never gets metabolized or turned into energy. This is why diabetics feel tired all the time. Glucose doesn't get metabolized, blood sugar levels continue to rise, the pancreas panics and pumps out more and more insulin. Undernourished cell walls are hammered with entry requests that become more and more shrill. To protect itself against this onslaught the walls lock down even more, developing a resistance. They go numb or deaf, like an eardrum subjected to too much loud noise.

But why is this happening to us? It is happening to us first and foremost due to poor eating choices and poor nutrition. Look at the way we eat. In the 1850's we ate, on average, one half a pound of sugar each year. Now we eat nearly one half pound per day! Because of what we eat every time we eat we spike up our blood sugar level. Our diet is heavy on foods which rate high on the glycemic index (an index which measures the degree of glucose spike for each food) and light on foods that rate low. Ever since the low fat foods craze kicked in habits have worsened. Many fats are good for us or at least not bad. It is difficult to convert fat into glucose, much more so than it is to convert carbohydrates into glucose, so insulin is released gradually, overtime, slowly as digestion takes place. Fats produce satiety or a feeling of fullness. But as we have turned away from fats we crave more and more carbohydrates. Protein, too, raises insulin levels very slowly, gently and modestly. Thus if we were to stick with a generous helping of eggs and meat for breakfast, maybe some nuts, we would be fine. Instead, we load up on bread, toast, box cereal, pancakes, syrup, donuts, pastry, hash browns, catsup, sugar-laden yogurt, fruit juice and fruit or even worse, processed foods like the breakfast in a box foods. All of these convert almost instantly to glucose spiking blood sugar levels, forcing the pancreas to dump a ton of insulin into the system. In the emergency mode the system usually misses its mark, releasing too much insulin. Then as the glucose is either used (turned into energy) or stored as fat, the left over insulin drives down blood sugar levels. Blood sugar levels plunge. We hit the wall around 10 or 11am. Glucagon, cortisol and adrenalin are then poured out into the system to help raise blood sugar back to acceptable levels. This can inadvertently result in the secretion of more insulin and the vicious cycle goes on. To feel better quickly we take our work break and slurp down some coffee and roll or pastry. Up goes the blood sugar levels and, immediately, the cycle is spurred yet again. In the mean time, as we come to rely on empty calorie food, food empty of nutrients, to feel good, to get through the day we start missing out on our essential nutrients. Sugar and caffeine and phosphoric acid (soda pop) confer the added bonus of stripping away minerals, pulling them from bones and teeth and causing the liver to dump minerals into our urine. So, over time, our poor little cells, charged with metabolizing glucose, start to malfunction. The cell walls, especially, become compromised. Everything starts to go downhill. We get fat, tired and unhappy. We start to wear out.

Dr. Wallach is a great believer in simple, relatively inexpensive, low-tech common sense solutions to health challenges. The first step in getting healthy, to stop the cycle, described above, prevalent among so many who have now been termed "reactive hypoglycemics," is to make some adjustments to our diet. These will actually save money on the grocery bill. I don't propose a radical or extreme diet, like so many that have been tried and, in the end, fail due to non-compliance or errors made initially in formulating the diet. I certainly don't propose a bland, flat or uninteresting diet devoid of the considerable pleasure most of us derive from the act of eating. What I do propose actually matches up very nicely with the "South Beach Diet." Buy that book. Read it. The diet is three phase. The first phase, only two weeks, is strict but still fun and easy to comply with: no carbohydrates; no sugar. Once you lose all your excess body fat you gradually re-introduce some of the foods you have missed. Diabetics must stay in the first phase. After all, starch and sugar are poison to a diabetic. Eating sugary foods can propel the pancreas, pituitary, and adrenal glands into a highly complex chemical reaction based on a feedback loop. The irony of this hypoglycemic cycle is that when blood sugar drops, we run for more sugar and perpetrate the disorder. If you suspect that you are hypoglycemic, emphasize the following foods: meat, whey, fish, nuts and seeds, unsweetened yogurt, vegetable juices and eggs, low carbohydrate vegetables such as celery, beet greens, chives, cucumbers, lettuce, parsley, radishes, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, peppers, tomatoes, squash, spinach and zucchini. Eliminate simple carbohydrates. Some obvious culprits are white flour, sugar, beer, pasta, bread, pastry, catsup, spaghetti sauce, BBQ sauce, rice, etc. Strategic snacking is an important component of this diet. Instead of coffee and pastry at 10 a.m. try low fat cheese and walnuts or almonds. That way you are satisfied right through to lunch. Whey is the purest form of protein there is and can be relied on to take away your hunger without putting the screws to your system. The cardiologist who wrote the "South Beach Diet" book has some great ideas for snacks (and meals) some of them even bordering on decadent!

So you are on task with the right diet, you are starting to shed some pounds, you are starting to feel alive, sensitized, energized, full of fire and fight. The next step is to really take control by supplementing. Your goal is to totally wean yourself off any medication. First you lay down a base line nutritional foundation of all 90 nutrients to human health and then you emphasize certain groups of nutrients and nutrient co-factors in order to support the body in very specific ways. It is important to supplement with the highest quality stuff, nutrients in a form the body can easily recognize and make use of. Dr. Wallach's products and formulations are ideal.

What I propose, below, is expensive. This is not a normal intake (for maintenance and prevention), but a therapeutic intake. Diabetes is a serious disease. Aggressive measures are called for. The cost of diabetes in terms of expense and quality of life dwarfs what I propose below. Nevertheless, a person cannot hope to harvest serious health dividends unless he / she is prepared to make a serious investment in his / her health.

You will want to lay down the essential 90 with a double Venus Pack. This means two bottles each of the MEU Tangy, ME OsteoFx and EFA � large for a one month supply. Since the calcium component in each cell wall is the component that acts as the sort of "doorkeeper" deciding whether to allow or disallow entry to a glucose bearing insulin molecule it is vital that you bring in the support of some high quality calcium accompanied by the correct co-factors (23 in all). So, in addition to the two OsteoFx bottles that come with the two Venus Packs you will need three bottles of the Ultimate Cal. Take these when you supplement with the liquids, at breakfast and dinner at the rate of 10 twice daily. Essential fatty acids not only serve as a prime constituent of cell walls, they also prevent platelette aggregration, increase blood flow and protect against heart disease. Although you will be getting two big bottles of EFA's with the double Venus Pack you need to add two bottles of the EFA Plus. It rounds out the action of the EFA's helping to achieve the correct proportion of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

As mentioned above protein is very important to diabetics. In general you want to substitute protein consumption for carbohydrate consumption. Whey is the purest, most bioavailable source of protein there is. One scoop mixed into your liquid drink brings on a wonderful feeling of satiety. Protein is the third essential component of each cell wall. Our Nature's Whey can be used one scoop at a time, anytime you are hungry or want a treat. Best to have about two canisters on hand. Next, are the Ultimate Enzymes. As we age we are less successful at manufacturing enzymes. They act as catalysts and are involved in nearly every biochemical event that occurs in the body. By supplementing, before meals with 2-6 of the Ultimate Enzymes (depending on how heavy the meal) not only are you assured of harvesting all the nutrition from the food you eat but you also relieve the enzyme store your body is able to naturally maintain for extra duty where needed: So, three bottles of the Ultimate Enzymes for a month's supply.

Next is the Ultimate SweetEze. It contains chromium, vanadium and various herbal and nutrient co-factors. Check your blood sugar levels a minimum of three times each day. Keep it in the 70 to 120 range. The goal is to gradually wean yourself off the medication using the SweetEze. Order three bottles for the first month. Chromium is a crucial ingredient in GTF. In the mydochondria of each cell glucose is metabolized using GTF. The whole key to diabetes is supporting the body's ability to metabolize glucose efficiently. Chromium is not only necessary for GTF it also potentiates the action of insulin. Vanadium not only potentiates insulin, it actually imitates it as well.

Finally, although these are somewhat optional depending on what stage of diabetes you are in, there is CardioFx and Killer Biotic-Fx. It may seem peculiar to include CardioFx but the fact is if the blood is turning into syrup you need something to support the body's ability to move blood around, same as in cardiovascular disease. The group of nutrients and herbs in the CardioFx do just that. The Killer Biotic Fx will help support immune function. If you have ever looked at, for example, sperm cells, under a microscope you notice that they move very quickly. They are fast and determined "swimmers." But immune factors like Killer T cells, B cells, etc. move a zillion times faster going from one part of the body to another in milliseconds. EXCEPT in a diabetic. That is why diabetics have such problems with infection. It is because the immune factors must move through syrup. Consequently, they go into slow motion.

That is it: diet and proper supplementation. Obviously, some lifestyle choices are important, too. Keep stress at a minimum in your life, breathe fresh air, drink clean water, exercise moderately, don't smoke: you know the drill.

Adding up the above the monthly cost is $570. Be sure to get this on AutoShip which saves you the 7% shipping and upgrade to Associate so you can receive a 5% volume rebate check. Supplementing at the therapeutic or "saturation" level is necessary for at least four months. Once you have achieved the results you are after cut back to a "maintenance" intake which is roughly half of the above for most people (depends on body weight).

Blood sugar disorders like reactive hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and type II diabetes can absolutely be controlled. Chasing it with prescription drugs is a dangerous alternative. Why make your doctors house payments when you don't need to? Taking control of your health by making some smart choices and then sticking to them is an incredibly liberating and self-empowering experience.

Best of Success,
