Diabetes Meds

I am often asked: "How can I live to be 100?" My answer is simple: Just say no to prescription drugs and learn to control insulin and blood glucose. "

Why? Because the people who live longest are naturally highly sensitive to insulin. Conversely, those who die the youngest from conditions such as obesity , diabetes, heart disease and even cancer are quite insensitive to insulin or taking prescription medication.

In the U.S., the biggest threat to longevity is type II diabetes caused by high levels of blood sugar and insulin resistance. It has become a national epidemic that can fly 11-20 year lifespan of a person.

To counter the threat, doctors are madly prescribing anti-diabetes drugs like Avandia and Actos. With so many people who use them, scientists have learned two important lessons about life.

First lesson: You can not use these drugs to increase lifespan.

In addition to creating a moderate drop in blood sugar, anti-diabetic damage the cardiovascular system.

According to a recent study, users of Avandia had a huge 30-40% increased risk of heart attack and other heart-related adverse events (heart failure) compared to patients treated with placebo. (1) This risk is due to the effect of the drug lower hemoglobin vital.

Hemoglobin is used by the body to transport oxygen throughout the 100,000 miles all veins, arteries and capillaries in the adult body. Without hemoglobin, a condition known as ischemia sets in. It is a term invented for "choking". Clinically, heart attack or heart failure may be the result.

Prescription drugs Actos has the same mechanism of action as Avandia - they both work to reduce insulin resistance. Not surprisingly, it also has the same risks. Health Canada has sounded the alarm about this class of drugs as early as 2001! But unfortunately, the warning has not yet reached the American public.

Commenting on this unexpected danger, Congress stated that "in defiance of the FDA apparently indifferent to the safety of diabetics taking Avandia is very reminiscent of the failure of the Agency to move on Vioxx when safety signs important first became known. Like Vioxx, Avandia may have unnecessarily risked the lives of tens of thousands of Americans. "(2)

Second lesson: You can adjust insulin receptor naturally increase the lifespan.

This simply means that insulin receptors found on individual cells have the ability to "replay" the message of insulin. We have learned that anti-diabetic drug, which can increase sensitivity to insulin by cells inactive jump starting or die. But the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks of heart attack. Fortunately, if a drug can do, so Mother Nature. It is a fact little known in medicinal chemistry.

Mother Nature always provides the head "in the meticulous process of drug discovery. Meaning, before there was a drug by humans to a disease, it is a natural substance that will do the same.

In the process of designing anti-diabetes drugs, Big Pharma interviewed a myriad of natural products to find lead compounds that re-hears the insulin receptor. Among them was a substance called corosolic acid, derived from the plant Banaba (3) cultivated in South Asia.

corosolic acid was safe and effective for increasing insulin sensitivity. Remarkably, users were found not only less blood sugar and insulin, but also melt fat and increase muscle mass in the process. But the World Heritage.
