Hyperinsulinemia is an endocrine disorder characterized by a failure of our
Blood Sugar Control System (BSCS) to work properly. It manifests when Insulin
progressively loses its effectiveness in sweeping the blood Glucose from the
blood stream into the sixty seven trillion or so cells that constitute our
bodies. Insulin levels in the blood rapidly rise to damaging levels and,
together with the resulting elevated Glucose levels, account for much of the
damage to our Arteries and Vascular system. When Insulin loses its
effectiveness this loss is not due to any change in the Insulin produced by the
Pancreas. It is due to a change in the cellular metabolism of almost every cell
in our body. Although our Insulin has not changed, our cell metabolism has
changed. Our cells no longer respond to blood borne Insulin signalling as they
should.
Our Blood Sugar Control System works like any type 0, negative feedback system
to maintain our blood sugar at a predetermined setpoint. This setpoint is below
the threshold where excess Glucose can cause Vascular damage. And the Insulin
required to do this is normally below the threashold where it will cause
Arterial or Vascular damage. When the Blood Sugar Control System is working
right, it automatically, without our concious knowledge, maintains correct
blood sugar with a minimum amount of Insulin whether we have just eaten a meal
or been fasting and exercising for a week.
When our system starts to exhibit Hyperinsulinemia, our Pancreatic Beta cells
simply increase Insulin production and for a time this maintains our ability to
swiftly lower post prandial (after eating) blood Glucose. For a time this
maintains normal Glucose levels, albeit by the secretion of these abnormally
high Insulin levels.
At some point during the progressive loss of effectiveness of Insulin, our
Pancreatic Beta cells may no longer produce enough Insulin to manage normal
post prandial and fasting Glucose. This may occur because our Pancreas becomes
exhausted by trying to maintain abnormally high Insulin levels needed. It may
occur because the progressive failure of our cellular metabolism has created a
chronic demand for Insulin beyond what even a healthy Pancreas can supply. In
either event, when this happens Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed. Of course,
Hyperinsulinemia has been around for some while, often for a long while, by the
time this diagnosis is made.
The fat and oils connection to Hyperinsulinemia, and thus to all of the
diseases mentioned on our home page, clearly parallels the rise of the
Hydrogenated and Refined fats and oils business. Although not well known
outside of research circles, (for reasons that are probably economic), the
connection between artificial fats and oils and the Hyperinsulinemic
destruction of vital functions is now well established. Recent advances in the
the study of appropriate cellular biochemical pathways have been most revealing.
To stop and reverse the progress of Hyperinsulinemia the following dietary
steps are mandatory:
1. Do not eat any hydrogenated oils or any prepared foods that contain them
as ingredients.
2. Do not eat any unsaturated or refined vegetable oil that comes in a
transparent bottle on a room temperature grocery store shelf. Cold pressed
olive oil, coconut oil and Sesame seed oil are the only exceptions to this
blanket rule.
3. Do not eat any oil that has been used in deep frying or that has been
heated in cooking except butter and coconut oil. Do not eat any deep fried
foods at all.
4. Add one or two tablespoons full of cold pressed flax oil or fish oil to
the daily diet. Do not cook with this oil. Keep it refrigerated when not in use.
5. Supplement the diet with a good vitamin and chelated mineral complex from
a reputable manufacturer. If you don't know one, get a recommendation from your
local Naturopath or Chiropractor. Be sure to get Chromium, Vanadium, Calcium,
Magnesium, and the trace minerals in the mix.
The program outlined above has a track record of reversing Hyperinsulinemia and
the Type 2 diabetes that often accompanies it.
However, there is another problem that must be faced when curing this disease.
It is this: during that part of the cure cycle when elevated blood Glucose and
Insulin levels are manifest, the body is being slowly destroyed by these
agents. This period may last for many weeks or months dependent upon how long
the disease has been allowed to run rampant before a cure is attempted. During
this period of time it is of the utmost importance to use all measures
available to keep blood sugar and Insulin levels as low as possible so as to
minimize the damage. The following list of techniques can be of considerable
help in doing this:
1. Select foods with a low Glycemic Index from a glycemic table. Our Special
Report contains a Glycemic Index with instructions for use and much more
information on this. Do not depend upon food exchanges; they don't work. They
are based on the idea that food may be exchanged on the basis of equal calorie
content and ignore that fact that, while calories are important, the glycemic
value is far more important to the diabetic.
2. Use fiber in the diet as much as practical. It reduces the "rate effect"
of Blood Sugar Control System perturbation and helps keep post prandial Glucose
in check. Our Special Report elaborates upon the types of fiber and on how and
why fiber works to control blood sugar.
3. Develop the habit of exercise at least twice a day. Work for twenty
minutes or until you begain to perspire. Do not do aerobic exercises if your
Arterial system has been compromised. Our Special Report discusses the
additional non-Insulin dependent pathway that exercise opens for Glucose
disposal.
4. Investigate the use of herbs such as Gymnema Sylvestre to help keep blood
glucose low. We have more on this Herb as well as over thirty additional
hypoglycemic herbs in our Special Report.
5. Test for allergic reactions when you eat by taking your pulse. When you
eat a food to which you are allergic, your pulse rate will escalate at least 10
beats per minute. Don't eat any food to which you are allergic. This
technology, too, is expanded and elaborated upon in our Special Report.
6. As a last resort, consult with your doctor regarding the use of Vanadium
Sulfate and other oral hypoglycemic synthetic drugs. Be sure that you
understand the side effects of these before you commit to using them. Our
Special Report, Insulin: Our Silent Killer discusses rather thoroughly the pros
and cons of these medications. It is very useful information to have if you
need to discuss these issues with your physician.
In the beginning of the recovery program is is best to remove fats and oils,
except flax seed oil, or other oil containing a high percentage of W3 fatty
acids, from the diet as completely as possible. Later, when the
Hyperinsulinemia has started to reverse, it is ok to gradually restore fats and
oils, good fats and oils only, to as much as fifteen percent of the calories
consumed.
This program will, relatively quickly, reverse Hyperinsulinemia, Type 2
diabetes and some of the other symptomatic diseases caused by Hyperinsulinemia.
In my case, my Type 2 diabetes was reversed in 103 days from start to finish.
At the start my fasting blood sugar was 368mg/dl. At the end of the program it
varied between 75 and 85 mg/dl.
This program will remove much stress from the components of the Blood Sugar
Control System; over a period of time they too will be restored to youthful
function. This includes the Liver, Pancreas, Adrenals, Thyroid and the interior
transport agents in each cell of our body.
This program will slow and in some cases reverse Vascular damage and Gangrenous
damage to our extremities. There are faster ways to reverse this sort of damage
which is thoroughly discussed in our Special Report.
This program will, over time, revcrse much of the Neuropathic damage to the
nervous system.
It will reverse Atherosclerosis too, but may take years to do it.
