Abstract
Increasing evidence in both experimental and clinical studies suggests that oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of both types of diabetes mellitus. Free radicals are formed disproportionately in diabetes by glucose oxidation, nonenzymatic glycation of proteins, and the subsequent oxidative degradation of glycated proteins. Abnormally high levels of free radicals and the simultaneous decline of antioxidant defense mechanisms can lead to damage of cellular organelles and enzymes, increased lipid peroxidation, and development of insulin resistance. These consequences of oxidative stress can promote the development of complications of diabetes mellitus. Changes in oxidative stress biomarkers, including superoxide" dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione levels, vitamins, lipid peroxidation, nitrite concentration, nonenzymatic glycosylated proteins, and hyperglycemia in diabetes, and their consequences, are discussed in this review. In vivo studies of the effects of various conventional and alternative drugs on these biomarkers are surveyed. There is a need to continue to explore the relationship between free radicals, diabetes, and its complications, and to elucidate the mechanisms by which increased oxidative stress accelerates the development of diabetic complications, in an effort to expand treatment options.

Anti Aging Effects of Antioxidants
Researchers have found a strong link between longevity and antioxidants.
In aging studies, researchers discovered mammals that produce the highest levels of antioxidants have the longest lifespans. And when they genetically engineered fruit flies to have double their normal amount of antioxidants, the fruit flies lived twice as long.
One way to measure the antioxidant power of a liquid is called its ORP value, its Oxidation Reduction Potential. (Another expression of antioxidant capability is called its Redux potential. We will use ORP in this article.)
ORP values are expressed in millivolts, from high to low with the lower readings indicating the more powerful antioxidant. In fact, a substance with a high ORP is an oxidant, a danger to your body which will cause disease and decrease your lifespan. Actually, it is the oxidation damage done to the body by free radicals, damaged atoms, that results in death from atomic radiation exposure.
One of the highest ORP substances you can put in your body is soda. Soda generally has ORP values in the 2-400 Millivolt range.
A good antioxidant like vitamin C, on the other hand has an ORP of around -150 Millivolts.
Antioxidants come from two sources. Your body makes its own antioxidants and you get them from your diet, mainly from fruits and vegetables.
But your body's production of antioxidants drop off as you age, leading to a build-up of free radicals which oxidize your cells and cause aging, just the same way they turn an apple slice brown when exposed to the oxidative forces of air.
And here’s something else: Levels of antioxidants vary by as much as 50% depending on the person. That may be why some people age quickly and why others live to a ripe old age without any problems.
That is because the damage done by free radicals, to the DNA of cells, to the collagen of the skin, to the arteries, to the nerves, etc. etc. is mitigated.
How can you make sure you are protected from free radical damage?

UCLA Study Reveals Amazing Benefits of Grape Seed Extract!
UC Davis study shows grape seed extract may be effective in reducing blood pressure
Promising results prompt second human clinical study Grape seed extract lowered the blood pressure of patients who participated in a UC Davis study of the benefits of the supplement on people with high blood pressure.
Conducted by UC Davis cardiovascular researchers, the study was the first human clinical trial to assess the effect of grape seed extract on people with metabolic syndrome, a combination of risk factors that increase the risk for heart disease, including high blood pressure, excess abdominal body weight, high blood cholesterol fats and high blood sugar. The researchers will present the results at the American Chemical Society Meeting and Exposition on March 26 in Atlanta, and at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's 2006 meeting in San Francisco April 2.
It is estimated that 40 percent of American adults, or 50 million people, have metabolic syndrome.
The one-month study involved 24 male and female patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. The patients were divided into three groups of eight. The first group received a placebo, while the second and third groups received 150 milligrams and 300 milligrams, respectively, of a new grape seed extract. All participants' blood pressure was automatically measured and recorded for 12 hours after ingestion.
"Participants in the two groups receiving grape seed extract experienced an equal degree of reduced blood pressure. The average drop in systolic pressure was 12 millimeters. The average drop in diastolic pressure was 8 millimeters," said the study's lead researcher, C. Tissa Kappagoda, professor of cardiovascular medicine and director of the Preventive Cardiology Program at UC Davis.
Kappagoda adds that the group taking 300 milligrams of grape seed extract also had reduced serum oxidized LDL cholesterol levels.
"Generally, the higher their initial oxidized LDL level was, the greater the drop by the end of the study," he said. The extract has received the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) certification from the FDA and has no known side effects.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Wow! These reductions of blood pressure were essentially equal to the effect of many dangerous prescription drugs.
According to the research done by Dr Joe Mercola, along with their benefits for blood pressure and cholesterol, grape seeds are also known to be a powerful antioxidant.
Antioxidant protection helps protect your body from premature aging, disease and decay. Antioxidants are needed to neutralize free radicals, which play a major role in the development of degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, strokes and aging.
The antioxidant capacity of grape seed extract comes from proanthocyanidins. Scientific studies have shown that the antioxidant power of proanthocyanidins is 20 times stronger than vitamin C and 50 times stronger than vitamin E.
Another incredible benefit of grape seeds are their cancer fighting ability.
Chemicals found in grape seeds inhibited the growth of colorectal tumors in both cell cultures and in mice.
Grape seed extract has already been demonstrated to have anti-cancer effects on other tumor types, as well. The extract can "freeze" cancer cells, preventing them from growing and in some cases, causes the cancer cells to self destruct.
Not all grape seed extract is equal. Your best bet is to find a grape seed extract combined with other natural antioxidants. synergy in these combinations produces a greater antioxidant effect than the individual components alone. Here is where I buy my Nutritional Supplements and recommend that you do too: Naturally Direct!

Fast Food Will Kill You!
A small McDonald’s meal that topped out at 900 calories was studied for its oxidation potential. The findings were not encouraging for fans of fast food.
“We showed that a small McDonald’s meal resulted in inflammation and oxidative stress at a cellular, molecular level,” says Dr. Dandona. The markers Dr. Dandona and his team used to establish the presence of inflammation and oxidative stress are the same ones the body produces when it is seriously hurt. “In the cells, we look at nuclear factor kB (NF-kappa B), which is the orchestrator of inflammation. When we get infections, it is NF-kappa B that gets stimulated,” he explains. “We were shocked to find that what infections do, food does, too.” Disturbingly, the post-meal inflammatory reaction did not resolve quickly — study subjects still showed signs of inflammation five hours after eating.
Dr. Dandona’s research also found that people with obesity who already had a basic level of inflammation and oxidative stress had a worse reaction than people of normal weight when challenged with a fast-food meal. “Sure enough, they start from higher levels of inflammation, they achieve a much higher level, and the inflammation is much more prolonged.” The oxidative and inflammatory stress observed with meals probably contributes to atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.

How Does Asthma Kill and How Can You Stop It?
J Cereb Blood Flow Metab. 1989 Feb;9(1):65-70.
Enhancement of iron-catalyzed free radical formation by acidosis in brain homogenates: differences in effect by lactic acid and CO2.
Rehncrona S, Hauge HN, Siesjö BK.
Laboratory of Experimental Brain Research, University of Lund, Sweden.
Study showed a 20 fold increase in free radicals of brain tissue when Ph was lowered to 6.2 by lactic acid, a 10 fold increase in free radicals when Ph lowered by CO2.
This is the main way that asthma kills, by an acidizing buildup of CO2 due to breath restriction, leading to a cascade of deadly free radicals that destroy brain tissue.
*************************************************************************************

Stop the acidosis by freeing the breathing and augment the antioxidants (fat soluble Vit E or Alpha Lipoic Acid) in the patient's brain to stop asthma from killing!
You can easily free up the breathing by administering 2-3 glasses of water with a pinch of salt to the patient, accompanied by a dose of ALA.

Scientists Find McDonald's Meal Produces Disease Producing Free Radicals!
Paresh Dandona, MD, Director of the Diabetes-Endocrinology Center of Western New York and Chief of the Division of Endocrinology at the Medical School of the State University of New York at Buffalo, showed that a small McDonald’s meal, 900 calories, resulted in inflammation and oxidative stress at a cellular, molecular level.
The markers Dr. Dandona and his team used to establish the presence of inflammation and oxidative stress are the same ones the body produces when it is seriously hurt.
“In the cells, we look at nuclear factor kB (NF-kappa B), which is the orchestrator of inflammation. When we get infections, it is NF-kappa B that gets stimulated,” he explains. “We were shocked to find that what infections do, food does, too.”

Now the good news: Some foods may protect against inflammation. Dr. Dandona and his team tested a portion of orange juice containing 300 calories against an amount of glucose containing 300 calories and found that while the glucose caused inflammation, the orange juice did not, despite the fact that it, too, is pure carbohydrate.
Their next experiment investigated what happened when subjects drank orange juice with a small McDonald’s meal. “And guess what: Orange juice neutralizes inflammation. To me, that is one of the most amazing findings in the field of nutrition today,” says Dr. Dandona. “On the one hand you have all these terrible things that cause inflammation, but if you take a certain amount of orange juice, it balances things off. That’s really remarkable.”
Part of the reason orange juice and glucose have a different impact on inflammation may be due to the nature of the type of carbohydrate: The sugar in orange juice is half fructose, and fructose is noninflammatory. But what would cause it to be anti-inflammatory? “The secret is probably in agents called flavonoids, which are what gives orange juice its yellow color,” says Dr. Dandona. “And two major flavonoids are hesperetin and naringenin, which have shown in the test tube to suppress free-radical formation and to be anti-inflammatory. Chances are that the secret is in these flavonoids.”

Consumption of Sugar Generates Free Radicals!
University at Buffalo endocrinologists published a ground breaking study in the August, 2009 issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, that shows that excess sugar in the bloodstream stimulates the generation of free radicals, the oxygen molecules known to damage cells lining blood vessels and many other organs.
In blood vessels, free-radical injury causes inflammation and initiates the accumulation of plaque that can lead to blocked arteries and cardiovascular disease.
"We've known for some time that eating certain foods, particularly those containing the antioxidant vitamins A, E and C, can help protect against damage from free radicals," said Paresh Dandona, M.D., UB professor of medicine, director of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism for UB and Kaleida Health, and senior author on the study. "This is the first time anyone has shown that nutrition has a role in generating free radicals."

Not only does the consumption of sugar generate dangerous free radicals, it also reduces the body's supply of antioxidants, making the whole body more susceptible to free radical damage.

Get Rid of Your Asthma With Nutrition!
Asthma is an inflammatory disease.
When you have an alergic reaction to something, that something generates free radicals. Free radicals are dangerous substances that attack various parts of the body. In the case of asthma, it is the smooth muscles inside the airways of the lungs.
Also many of the foods you eat and drink flood the bloodstream with acid, which also damages your body's cells and promotes the formation of additional free radicals.
When the lungs are inflamed the air passages become narrow and you feel shortness of breath and you cough, in an effort to open the blocked airways; especially when in a physically or emotionally stressful situation.
The inhalers and steroid drugs sold to you by Big Pharma only control the immediate inflammation and do not attack the cause of the inflammation, which is why you continue to have attacks.
The answer is to eliminate the excess acid in your blood and to boost you body's supply of antioxidants. This will protect the smooth muscle from being attacked and therefor ameliorate or prevent asthma attacks, depending on your compliance with our recommendations.
Therfore, the number and severity of your asthma attacks will be greatly reduced and they may stop altogether as long as you alkalize your blood and control free radicals.
How can you do this? Simple, alkalize your blood stream and increase the level of antioxidants in your body. You can do this in several ways:
Nutrition. Eat plenty of vegetables, especially brightly colored vegetables. They are alkaline foods and will help neutralize the acid in your blood, plus they contain phytochemicals that act as antioxidants.
Cut out dairy, which produces heavy mucus, cut way back on meat and fish as they are acid producers. Cut out fried foods as the heated oil is loaded with free radicals. Also cut out most baked goods, because of the oil (shortening) used in preparation and because the flour made from grains is also a source of acid.
Eliminate alcohol and sodas, even diet sodas. They are among the most acidic substances you can take. The same goes for energy drinks and most bottled waters (which in 40% of cases is nothing but overpriced tapwater!) are acidic as well.
Nutritional Supplements. Vitamins E and C are great antioxidants, especially E in preventing oxidative stress to the lungs.
Ionized Alkaline Water. For the fastest results in eliminating your asthma, drink copious volumes of Ionized Alkaline Water. This is the most powerful antioxidant available to you. It is also a very powerful eliminator of blood acidity as it has a very alkaline Ph value (index of alkaline/acid ratio in a liquid.
These measures will go a long way to eliminating your asthma without the cost and frankly danger of inhaled steroids and other medicines which you are taking which do not prevent or cure asthma attacks as they do nothing to attack the cause of asthma.

Deadly Diabetes Advice For Diabetics From a Registered Dietician!
This is an excerpt from an article on Living With Diabetes, written by a Licensed Dietitian who will, mercifully (on my part!), remain nameless!
"By definition, diet simply means the foods that you choose everyday. There are no special foods for people with diabetes; you can eat all of the same foods that your family enjoys.
Food is such an important part of our culture and while some of our favorite foods may contribute to diabetes and heart disease, we should not have to give them up all together. By simple portion control and modifying the preparation of foods, you can enjoy all the foods that you love."
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Bill's Comments $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So, blissfully "eat all the same foods that made you sick?"
This is incredibly bad advice to give a well person, let alone someone who is dying from diabetes!
Oh, you did not know that diabetes is a death sentence? It, along with its complications is the 3rd leading cause of death in this country and cuts about 10-15 years off of your life span?
Nutrition is the key to curing diabetes and most other chronic diseases. Poor nutrition is a big factor in insulin resistance, leading to a build up of acid in the blood and the generation of free radicals. Free radicals are mutant cells that attack normal cells, turning them into free radicals in a cascading chain of celluar raidcalization and spreding cell damage.
As a result of poor nutrition, acidosis and free radical damage, the insulin receptors on cells do not function properly and therefore glucose, sugar is prevented from entering the cells, which then call for more insulin. The result is that insulin and glucose build up in the blood stream, signaling but not causing diabetes. This leads to obesity, nerve damage, poor circulation; precursors to the complications of diabetes.
40% of diabetics suffer nerve damgae
25% suffer eye damage
50% suffer kidney damage
80% die from cardiovascular damage
Contrary to our mainstream diatician, the diet must be changed radically to an alkaline diet that helps eliminate the acidosis and contributes antioxidants to help fight the free radicalls.

Food is such an important part of our culture and while some of our favorite foods may contribute to diabetes and heart disease, we should not have to give them up all together. By simple portion control and modifying the preparation of foods, you can enjoy all the foods that you love."
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Bill's Comments $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So, blissfully "eat all the same foods that made you sick?"
This is incredibly bad advice to give a well person, let alone someone who is dying from diabetes!
Oh, you did not know that diabetes is a death sentence? It, along with its complications is the 3rd leading cause of death in this country and cuts about 10-15 years off of your life span?
Nutrition is the key to curing diabetes and most other chronic diseases. Poor nutrition is a big factor in insulin resistance, leading to a build up of acid in the blood and the generation of free radicals. Free radicals are mutant cells that attack normal cells, turning them into free radicals in a cascading chain of celluar raidcalization and spreding cell damage.
As a result of poor nutrition, acidosis and free radical damage, the insulin receptors on cells do not function properly and therefore glucose, sugar is prevented from entering the cells, which then call for more insulin. The result is that insulin and glucose build up in the blood stream, signaling but not causing diabetes. This leads to obesity, nerve damage, poor circulation; precursors to the complications of diabetes.
40% of diabetics suffer nerve damgae
25% suffer eye damage
50% suffer kidney damage
80% die from cardiovascular damage
Contrary to our mainstream diatician, the diet must be changed radically to an alkaline diet that helps eliminate the acidosis and contributes antioxidants to help fight the free radicalls.

Mainstream Medicine Slowly Recognizing Curative Powers of Nutrition
Animal nutrition and acid-base balance.
Institute of Animal Nutrition, University of Zürich, Switzerland. jriond@vetphys.unizh.ch
In domestic animals, acid-base balance may be influenced by nutrition.
The major research effort in this area has been made on the prevention of hypocalcemic postparturient paresis in dairy cows.
This disorder is caused by the sudden increase of calcium secretion into the colostrum. The manipulation of the dietary cation-anion difference makes it possible to maintain the cows in metabolic acidosis during the critical period that precedes calving, presumably via a mechanism that involves the strong ion difference in the extracellular fluid. As a consequence the mobilization of calcium is enhanced and the incidence of the disorder is decreased.
Conversely, a dietary induced metabolic alkalosis leads to a more severe degree of hypocalcemia and the incidence of the disease is increased.
The underlying mechanisms of the prevention are only partially understood. Nevertheless, this preventive method is already widely applied in practice.
Nutrition effects on acid-base balance also influence growth and food intake in higher vertebrates and fish. As a consequence, the incidence of developmental orthopedic diseases in fast-growing domestic animal species may be affected.
Also, the bone mineral content of athletic horses may be influenced by dietary induced modification of the acid-base status. The mineral loss due to metabolic acidosis may lead to an increase in the incidence of stress fractures. This overview should give insight into relevant aspects of nutrition and acid-base balance in domestic animal species.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
In other words, they have successfully manipulated disease by addressing the Ph of the "extracellular fluid" blood, via nutrition. It is obvious the disease can be prevented and cured by adjusting the Ph level of the blood.
The same is true for most human chronic diseases. A low blood Ph, (acidic) is essential for pathogens to grow and thrive. People afflicted with such diseases generally test for a low blood Ph.
In 1933, Dr Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery that cancer cells can only live in an acidic (low Ph) environment. In fact, they become dormant at a normal blood Ph (7.4)!
In addition, cells struggling to survive in an acidic environment give rise to so-called free radicals. Free radicals are waste products produced by chemical reactions. They are extremely dangerous to the body. They attack and disable or destroy healthy cells throughout the body giving rise to the many disorders and illnesses that afflict mankind.
Therefore, if you maintain the proper Ph level in your blood, it will go a long way to preventing, controlling and curing disease.
To learn what more progressive and enlightened medical professionals have to say about Ph balance, free radicals and their influence on human disease, read these reports.

The True Cause of Heart Disease and How to Cure It!
For decades you have been told that a fatty diet, resulting in high cholesterol, is the culprit for heart disease.
Did you know that there is no scientific data to support this theory? “In spite of the fact that there was no initial evidence to support the low-fat theory in the first place, the diet continues to be the focus of the government, the medical establishment, and almost every food manufacturer in this country.
Why? Profit for everyone except the consumer soon to be heart patient collectively putting Billions of dollars into the covers of the Medical Mafia!
Study after study in the medical journals show that the accepted link between dietary cholesterol and heart disease is false!
So if cholesterol is not the culprit, what is the primary cause of heart disease? The answer is simple: Oxidation of the artery walls by free radicals, also known as inflammation.
Contrary to popular belief, heart disease is not caused by a build-up of cholesterol (or plaque) inside the arteries. It is caused by inflammation within the arterial wall that occurs as a result of the body's natural defense against oxidized LDL cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol provides an important and necessary function in the body. It only becomes a problem when it is damaged through oxidation and deposited in the wall of your arteries by your own body's defense mechanisms.
In a nutshell, this is the process that causes heart disease:
Heart disease begins when abnormal LDL cholesterol, transformed by high blood sugar (acidosis) and/or oxidation moves into the arterial wall.
Then the immune system in response to the inflamation, causes the arterial wall to bring in the circulating white blood cells, which in turn enter into the arterial wall.
The white blood cells do their job and consume the abnormal LDL cholesterol. These white blood cells become overloaded with abnormal LDL cholesterol and become 'foam cells'. A collection of these foam cells form a fatty streak in the arterial wall.
As the artery tries to heal itself, smooth muscle migrates to cover the plaque, forming a fibrous cap around the fatty streak. Continued inflammation causes the fibrous cap to weaken, and eventually rupture, causing a heart attack.
The process of heart disease begins in our teenage years and slowly worsens over time. By reversing the oxidative process and decreasing inflammation, we can effectively slow down, and even reverse, the progression of heart disease in your body!
This is best accomplished by a combination of:
An Alkaline Diet
Proper Exercise
Certain Antioxidant Nutritional Supplements
Heart Supporting Herbs
Meditation/Prayer
Iodized Antioxidant Water
Of these measures, the administration of the Ionized Antioxidant Water is the most acute. It immediately acts to eliminate the harmful acids from the blood caused by chronic ingestion of acidic food and excess blood sugar.
Most importantly it floods the body with an avalanche of free radical fighting antioxidants.
It reinforces and supports the body's key antioxidants which protect the walls of the cardiovascular system from oxidation/inflammation by free radicals. Some of these antioxidants such as Vitamin E (tocotrienols) can actually remove the plaque buildup from the walls of the blood vessels, dramatically reducing the chance of a heart attack or stroke.
Subsequently, the rest of the regimen can be implemented as soon as feasible.

Another Antioxidant Beats Cancer!
Dr Alan Spreen,
CoQ10 is the one supplement I take every day, without fail.
New evidence of an even greater benefit is pouring in. And over the next couple of weeks, I’ll tell you about some of the amazing discoveries happening in CoQ10 research.
CoQ10 is a powerful cancer fighter.
Researchers in Tokyo gave rats a carcinogen that promotes colon cancer. The rats were divided into three groups. One group was fed a regular diet. The second group got a low dose of CoQ10. The third got a medium dose.
The results were amazing.
Both of the groups that received CoQ10 had reductions in abnormal crypts (an early sign of colon cancer) of up to 77%. Ultimately, the results of this study suggested that CoQ10 held cancer in check even when exposed to this carcinogen.1
Another study done at the University of Texas at Austin documented 10 cases of cancer patients who unexpectedly survived when treated with CoQ10.2
It works by blocking the free radicals that can ultimately damage the DNA in your cells. It also helps re-energize the immune system cells that get suppressed by cancer. It restores their ability to fight back and attack the cancer cells.
Researchers in Denmark studied a group of breast cancer patients. They gave them CoQ10, plus a combination of other antioxidants and essential-fatty acids. The result?
The entire group had a partial remission of the cancer. But here’s where things get very interesting…
Two of the patients received larger doses of CoQ10 (390 mg). Their tumors disappeared.
Here’s what the researchers said regarding one of the patients:
“After three months, the patient was in excellent clinical condition and there was no residual tumor tissue.”3
Remarkable isn’t it?
Yet CoQ10 is one of the most overlooked nutrients. The government doesn’t even have a recommended daily intake for it. And in my practice, I’ve found that most of my new patients are deficient.
The only natural source of CoQ10 is red meat, especially organ meat. But today’s commercially-raised, grain-fed beef is a poor source.
Even worse, many popular drugs – especially cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins – cause your levels of CoQ10 to plunge.
I recommend getting 400 mg of regular CoQ10 daily.
Dr Alan Spreen
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Note, most people, as Dr Spreen says, are deficient in antioxidants. As Dr Lester Packer, the Dean of Antioxidant Experts says, "He who has the most antioxidants in his body will live the longest healthiest life!"
There is help. The Kangen Ionized Alkalizing Machine, recognized as a Medical Device by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, converts ordinary tap water into the most powerful antioxidant available!
What this water does is to immediately double or triple the effective amount of antioxidants in your body because it has the ability to regenerate your body's other antioxidants.
It is not well known, but when an antioxidant smashes (medical term!) a free radical, it loses its antioxidant power, even becoming a dangerous free radical itself in some cases.
For instance, Alpha Lipoic Acid or Glutathione, two lesser known antioxidants and in some cases vitamins C and E have to regenerate or rejuvenate the spent antioxidant.
However, Kangen Water has a large supply of free electrons that can rejuvenate the body's other antioxidants, thereby greatly increasing the net amount available to the body resulting in a very strong immune system and protection against radical damage to organs and structures of the body.
Once free radicals have been quelched, the body's Ph or acid alkaline balance can be addressed. In most of us, our blood's Ph balance has been put out of whack because of our diet and stress which causes it to become too acid. Excess acidity (acidosis) allows disease producing microbes and viruses to flourish, causing disease, which in turn produces more free radicals!
Once the body's Ph balance is restored and acidosis eliminated and free radicals vanquished, your body will heal itself as nature designed it to.

What is Diabetic Neuropathy?
Diabetic neuropathy (DN)is a peripheral nerve disorder which disproportionately afflicts diabetics. It is one of the many serious "Complications" of diabetes and often leads to amputation of limbs.
The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy are often slight at first. In fact,
some mild cases may go unnoticed for a long time.
Numbness, pain or tingling in the feet or legs may, after several years, lead to weakness in the muscles of the feet. Occasionally, diabetic neuropathy can flare
up suddenly and affect specific nerves so that an affected individual
will develop double vision, drooping eyelids and weakness and atrophy
of the thigh muscles.
Nerve damage caused by diabetes generally occurs over a period of years and may lead to problems with the digestive tract and sexual organs, which can cause indigestion, diarrhea or constipation, dizziness, bladder infections and impotence.
The loss of sensation in the feet may increase the possibility for foot injuries to go unnoticed and develop into ulcers or lesions that become infected, which then leads to amputations of feet and legs.
Diabetic neuropathy cannot be avoided strictly by controlling blood sugar, contrary to conventional wisdom. Although blood sugar control helps, it cannot stop the disease.
Free radicals, waste products of the body's metabolism, poor diet, especially fried foods; ingested from the environment, especially cigarette smoke; attack the lipid or fat sheath surrounding nerve fibers. This is analagous to damaging the insulation on an electrical wire, causing short circuits and interfering with the proper functioning of the system, in this case, the body's nervous system.
In the US, treatment is normally limited to orally administered diabetes drugs, which as mentioned before does Not stop the onset or progression of diabetic neuropathy.
In Germany and other parts of Europe, DN has been treated successfully with a powerful antioxidant, Alpha Lipoic Acid. Alpha Lipoic Acid stops free radicals
from damaging the nerve coverings.
You can prevent DN by eating a diet rich in antioxidants, an alkalizing diet as well as taking antioxidant supplements, including alpha lipoic acid.
For cases of DN that have progressed to the point where amputations are needed, the Japanese have pioneered a truly remarkably effective treatment that can save diabetics limbs, even if they have become gangrenous!
Check out this comprehensive site that will teach you more about using alkalinity and antioxidants to fight and even cure T2 diabetes. Be sure to watch the video that shows how Japanese doctors save a man's diabetic foot from amputation, amazing!

New Study Finds Meditteranean Diet Cuts Need for Drugs in T2 Diabetes
From the Annals of Internal Medicine:
In this trial, the authors compared the effects of a Mediterranean diet versus a typical low-fat diet for diabetes management.
Researchers randomly assigned 215 patients to follow either a low carbohydrate, Mediterranean-style diet or a low-fat diet for four years.
After four years, 44% of patients in the Mediterranean-style diet group required antihyperglycemic drug therapy compared to 70% in the low-fat diet group.
Patients in the Mediterranean diet group also experienced greater weight loss and an improvement in some coronary risk factors.

The Mediterranean diet is a step in the right direction. However, nearly half, 44% of participants still needed to go on diabetic drugs.
The Alkaline Diet is the Industrial Strength anti diabetic diet as it does more to alkalize the body, eliminate the over acidity which is a big part of the diabetic's problem. It also helps supply the body with antioxidants which are essential to fight the enormous amounts of deadly free radicals that plague diabetics.
To learn more about how over acidity and free radicals are deadly to the diatbetic, leading to dangerous complications such as amputations, blindness, kidney failure and ultimately; 80% of the time, death by heart attack, click here:
In this trial, the authors compared the effects of a Mediterranean diet versus a typical low-fat diet for diabetes management.
Researchers randomly assigned 215 patients to follow either a low carbohydrate, Mediterranean-style diet or a low-fat diet for four years.
After four years, 44% of patients in the Mediterranean-style diet group required antihyperglycemic drug therapy compared to 70% in the low-fat diet group.
Patients in the Mediterranean diet group also experienced greater weight loss and an improvement in some coronary risk factors.

Cold, Hard Mortality Facts on People with Diabetes
According to the Diabetic Information Clearing House, diabetes is more than high blood sugar:
Diabetics are twice as likely to die at a given age than non diabetics.
Diabetics are 2-4 times as likely to have a heart attack or stroke compared to a non diabetic.
80% of diabetics will die of a heart attack or stroke
75% of diabetics have high blood pressure
Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the age group 20-74
Diabetes is the leading cause of Kidney failure in the US
About 70% of diabetics have or will develop damage to their nervous systems including pain or numbness in the feet and erectile dysfunction among others
Diabetes is the leading cause of amputations, about 60% of all amputations in the US
One Third of diabetics will have severe gum disease
Diabetics are more likely to die from pneumonia and the flu than non diabetics
On average, diabetes will cut about 10-15 years off the normal lifespan of an individual.
Managing blood sugar alone will not prevent these complications from developing, although it will help.
Most of these complications arise from the oxidative stress and excess acidity diabetics live with.
This means that a shortage of antioxidants in the body allows free radicals to attack cells, tissues and organs in the body. Free radicals are the waste products of burning oxygen for fuel in the body. Free radicals are missing one electron in their atomic structure and will attack healthy cells to get the missing electron, thereby damaging or destroying the victimized cell. This can cause the cell to malfunction or die.
Acidity refers to the Ph level of the blood. Most people, including diabetics have too much acid in their bloodstream. This encourages the growth of disease producing microbes and can physically damage sensitive tissues such as the lining of the blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure, heart attacks and stroke.
Diabetic complications can be prevented by controlling blood sugar and by alkalizing your diet, exercise, herbal and nutritional supplements and by regular prayer or meditation.

Conquer Oxidative Stress With Antioxidants!
Oxidative stress describes a body or system overwhelmed by free radicals. Free radicals are dangerous chemicals waste products that attack and overwhelm normal cells, destroying them or damaging them, keeping them from carrying out their regular duties and turning them into free radicals. This sets up a chain reaction of damage to tissues and organs.
Free radicals are a natural result of burning oxygen and sugar to fuel the body. They are also introduced into the body by diet, especially fried foods and processed foods as well as by cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants. Chronic illnesses such as diabetes also result in higher levels of free radicals, And believe it or not, they are also produced in the body by worry and negative thoughts! Depression is a Big source of free radicals!
The body produces natural anti oxidants to protect against free radicals and theoretically they can be obtained from food. However the depleted state of the soil, genetic modification and long storage times mean that only a fraction of the antioxidants theoreticall present in foods is still there.
Free radicals are extremely dangerous, attacking the cell walls, protein structures within the cells and even the DNA of the cell. When the DNA is targeted, the damaged cell replicates itself, damage and all. Many times this results in the cell becoming cancerous.
Free radicals can also activate dormant, bad genes, resulting in triggering autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 diabetes, lupus etc.
People with chronic diseases typically are overwhelmed with free radicals, giving rise to what is known as Oxidative Stress. This term is too benign. Free radicals are what destroys the body, causing death from radiation exposure.
Free radicals attack and destroy the cardiovascular and nervous systems. They are a principal cause of diabetic complications such as amputations, liver and kidney failure and heart attacks which kill 70-80% of diabetics 10-15 years short of their normal lifespan, even though they control their blood sugar.
Dr Lester Packer, the world's foremost authority on free radicals and antioxidants puts it very simply, low levels of antioxidants in the body leads to death. Most people, especially those with chronic diseases need help in reinforcing their body's antioxidant levels.
You can eat an antioxidant rich diet, mainly vegetables, especially brightly colored ones; however because of he depletion of the nutrition in the soil these days, you will also need to take more aggressive actions.
Vitamins C and E, Co-Q 10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid are nutritional supplements recommended by Dr Packer.
However the most powerful antioxidants you can take come from Ionized, Alkaline water. This water is produced by electrolysis and is 100 times more powerful than the supplements. This is what you want to boost your antioxidants in a hurry and to keep the levels high. Dr Peggy Parker is a world renowned expert on fighting free radicals with Ionized, Alkaline water.
Another advantage of this water is that it helps return your body to a normal Ph as most of us are overacidic, again as a result of diet and lifestyle. Disease producing viruses and other microbes thrive in an acidic environment.
The water eliminates over acidity or acidosis. Dr Leigh Erin Connealy is an expert in eliminating acidosis from the body.

The Safe, Inexpensive, Natural Solution for Diabetic Foot Problems!
Diabetic foot problems can be prevented and cured, naturally. However, just controlling blood sugar levels is not enough.
Diabetics have an abnormal amount of Free Radicals in their system. These are dangerous by-products of normal cell metabolism. They are also introduced into the body by poor diet choices (fried foods mainly) and environmental sources.
They attack the nervous system and destroy nerves in the foot and elsewhere, making it impossible for the diabetic to be aware of wounds to the feet.
However, free radicals can be controlled by Anti Oxidants found in foods as well as in supplements, such as Alpha Lipoic Acid and in Ionized Water.
German and French doctors have been using Alpha Lipoic Acid, a nutritional supplement, for decades to treat and cure diabetic foot problems.
Japanese hospitals have had amazing success treating diabetic foot problems with Ionized Water.
My Dad's doctor, controlled by the profit needs of Big Pharma, let him lose his foot, then his leg rather than tell him about these effective, inexpensive treatments. He eventually died of a heart attack as 70% of diabetics do.
Another problem is that the blood of diabetics has a high Ph, meaning that it is acidic. Acidic blood means lower than normal oxygen supplies get to the cells which fosters the growth of disease causing organisms such as the ones that infect the diabetic's feet; eventually becoming gangrenous, necessitating amputation.
Here is a video of Japanese doctors using Ionized, Anti Oxidant Water in conjunction with Alkaline Water which lowers the Ph eliminating the over acid blood condition; to save a diabetic's foot slated for amputation. http://tw8.us/QX
Please spread the word about these effective, inexpensive methods to prevent totally unnecessary amputations!

You Can Stop Complications of Diabetes with Alkaline Treatments!
Diabetes Related Complications: Neither oral diabetic medications nor insulin prevents the progression of diabetes and its deadly complications. In fact, 7 out of 10 diabetics die from heart disease.
There are many potential complications of diabetes. The four most common are heart disease (hardening of the arteries), nephropathy (kidney damage), neuropathy (nerve damage), and retinopathy (eye damage).
Leading an Alkalizing (acid neutralizing) Lifestyle and augmenting your body's anti oxidants has been found to prevent, control or even cure these complications.
HEART DISEASE
The most common complication of diabetes and the leading cause of death in people with diabetes is heart disease or hardening of the arteries.
Hardening of the arteries is caused by damage by free radicals (more later) and by over alkalinity of the blood.
The Standard American Diet, (SAD) is a major contributor to over acidity in the body. The body needs its Ph, (a measure of the amount of hydrogen)to stay pretty close to its natural value of 7.365.
As the diet, worry and environmental pollutants make the body more acidic, disease producing microbes multiply, giving rise to all types of diseases and the acid attacks the lining of blood vessels, giving rise to cardiovascular diseases.
To protect itself against the excess acid, the body is ready to take extreme measures as excess acidity can mean death.
The body first tries to eliminate the acid by excretion, respiration and sweating. (Exercise anyone?)
If that is not enough, it then isolates the acid by storing it in joints (arthritis), tissues and in a special type of fat which it deposits around your middle, giving rise to the apple shaped body of many diabetics.
If the acidosis, (over acidity) persists the body will actually steal calcium from your bones (osteoporiasis) and magnesium from your muscles (fibromyalgia) to buffer the excess acid.
Hence it is seen that acidosis is the genesis of most diseases of the body. The amazing thing is that once the excess acid has been eliminated, the disease conditions caused by the acidosis, recede or disappear, the body heals itself, just as mosquitos can only live in dirty, stagnant water and disappear when the water is cleaned up.
Free Radicals:
Excess insulin in the blood causes glucose to be turned into triglycerides by the liver. These triglycerides may then attack the nervous system and are a prime target of free radicals, which oxidize them and lead to cardiovascular problems.
Free radicals are "rogue" molecules that are a by product of oxidation or energy production by the body and or are introduced from outside by air pollution, food or drink. Believe it or not, they can also be produced in the body by worry, depression or other negative thoughts!
They are extremely dangerous substances. They attack the cell walls and DNA of normal cells, disrupting their functioning and in many cases, turning them cancerous. They also turn these damaged cells into free radicals, causing a chain reaction. Sort of like when you are bitten by a vampire, you become a vampire?
They can also attack the body's enzymes, which play a pivotal role in virtually every chemical reaction in the body. If they cannot function normally, they will produce disease and disruption in all of the body's systems.
Carbonic Hydrase is an enzyme that turns carbon dioxide, CO2 a waste product of oxygen metabolism in the cells into a form that can be transported by the blood to the lungs where it can be turned into a gas (again by Carbonic Hydrase) and expelled.
Carbonic Hydrase transforms about 1 million molecules of CO2 per second. If the functioning of carbonic hydrase were disrupted you would die as it is the presense of CO2 in your lungs that triggers the diaphragm to expand and contract, in other words your breathing.
Your body has a limited defense against free radicals called anti oxidants. The main one is glutathione which is made by the liver. Some Lipoic acid, another anti oxidant, is also synthesized by the body.
However with the relentless attacks of free radicals, the DNA of the average cell in your body is attacked 10,000 times per day by free radicals according to Bruce Ames a prominent anti oxidant researcher; it needs help.
This is normally supplied by fruits and vegetables in the form of Vitamins C and E and the carotenoids, the minerals that give fruits and vegetables their characteristic colors.
However, with the depleted state of our farmland and the genetic engineering of our foods by Corporate Agriculture, food alone does not supply enough anti oxidants.
So the stage is set for additional damage to the body.
NEPHROPATHY (KIDNEY DAMAGE)
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure leading to dialysis in the United States. The intricate blood vessels and pathways in the kidney are prime targets for free radical damage and enzyme malfunctioning brought on by acidosis.
NEUROPATHY (NERVE DAMAGE)
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy most commonly occurs in the extremities. Diabetes is the leading cause of peripheral amputations in the United States. Since the nerves that travel from your brain to your feet and vice versa are subject to damage from acidosis and free radicals your diabetes medication only exacerbates the problem by becoming acids in your body as they are metabolized. This includes insulin.
RETINOPATHY (EYE DAMAGE)
It is sad to say but diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in America. The nerves in the retina and the small blood vessels that supply it are again, subject to damage from acidosis and attack by free radicals.
What does the AMA, Big Pharma and the ADA have to say about dealing with these preventable complications of diabetes? Quoting from a recent article on diabetic complications: "Screen for the common complications of diabetes, so that any problems can be identified early or, ideally, prevented. Special: Get a free diabetic meter!"
The Real answer to preventing, controlling and maybe even curing Type 2 diabetes and eliminating the progression of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is to alkalize your lifestyle and augment your anti oxidants.
