The Cause of Type 2 Diabetes
In 1519 Magellan, a Spanish explorer, left Spain with 270 men & 5 ships in the 1st trip around the world; 239 of his men died of scurvy, caused by a vitamin C deficiency. He returned with 31 men & 1 ship. And guess what?? They carried a full cargo of limes that would have cured their disease; if they’d only known. So what do Magellan’s men and diabetics have in common? They already had what they needed to cure their conditions. Type 2 diabetes is not a disease. . . it’s an adrenal gland condition that causes disease. Picture this - a cat is put into a canary’s cage every day. The canary becomes so continually stressed that it eventually dies from infections and heart problems caused by stress. The cat didn’t kill the bird, but it caused the increased stress hormones that caused the diseases that killed the bird. As it is with diabetes. When a person becomes diabetic, it’s because their adrenal hormones have become higher than they were normally. Those hormones can cause weight gain, hair loss, menses issues, blood vessel disease, heart disease, and high blood sugar (which causes blindness, poor circulation, kidney disease, intestinal failure) and more. So, in diabetes, what is the “cat in the canary cage” that causes increased hormones? Mental stress and caffeine are sitting at the bottom of the “canary cage.” Mental stress and caffeine are the “cat in the canary cage.” These two factors can kill people by raising hormones, just as the cat raised those same hormones that caused other problems that killed the canary. The canary can’t control the cat, but we can control both caffeine intake and how we handle stress, making type 2 diabetes a completely unnecessary condition! And even once you are diagnosed, if you deal with your “cat” in your canary cage (as shown in The Healthy Plate Program) this condition can be reversed. Research has had the answers since the 1930’s but it seems that there has been no reliable authority to look at all the research and put all the puzzle pieces together. There were research studies in the 1930’s and 1940’s where the adrenal glands were removed from diabetic rats & this reduced the sugar & protein in the urine, which means reduced blood sugar. Adrenal hormones were then replaced and protein and sugar were again increased in the urine, which means high blood sugar returned. There was a study in Japan that was presented to the American Diabetes Association national meeting in San Francisco in 2008, that looked at 10 diabetics. They found 3 patients with tumors out of 10 diabetics. And after surgery on either the adrenal gland or pituitary which affects the adrenals, the hormone cortisol returned to normal and their diabetes and high blood pressure also returned to normal. Regardless of whether these patients were diagnosed with extreme cortisol or just had a cortisol level above their normal level, correcting the adrenal cells resolved the diabetes. But this information has been in the pathology books for years! Diabetes. A Journal of the American Diabetes Association. 68th Scientific Sessions, June 6-10, 2008. San Francisco, California. / Rubin, Farber. Pathology.Lippincott-Raven1999;1193. Type 2 diabetes is an adrenal gland condition caused by mental stress and caffeine. Type 2 diabetes is not complicated, even though there are a lot of complications that come from diabetes. Now that you understand that type 2 diabetes is an adrenal gland disease let’s look at 4 scenarios that cause high blood sugar, which may or may not be type 2 diabetes. #1 scenario - Too much weight = glucose intolerance #2 scenario - Pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin = type 1 diabetes #3 scenario - Too much cortisol from the adrenal glands = type 2 diabetes #4 scenario - Too much epinephrine from the adrenal glands = type 2 diabetes All four scenarios interfere with the process of changing sugar into energy and therefore cause high blood sugar. Too much of another adrenal hormone called deoxycorticosterone, or DOC for short, may also be a contributor to diabetes symptoms but no appropriate research can be found on this hormone. |
