Lower Blood Sugar Fast

The chief concern among diabetics and those who are running the risk of diabetes is high blood sugar and people are forever looking for new ways to lower blood sugar fast. The truth is that once blood sugar levels are raised the only way possible to lower them quickly is through the use of insulin. Without insulin the blood sugar levels will only drop very slowly as long as no other food is eaten and the body rids itself of excess glucose through other means, and this definitely will not lower blood sugar fast. When…

Are Healthy Blood Glucose Levels Important?

Healthy Blood Glucose LevelsThese days’ people are more aware of their health than ever, and for an ever increasing number of people maintaining healthy blood glucose levels can be a matter of life and death. Even as death and disabilities from cancer, stroke, and heart disease decreases the number of people diagnosed with diabetes continues to grow each year. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the body is either producing insufficient quantities of the hormone insulin which regulates healthy blood glucose levels or the cells of the body have developed a resistance to the action of the insulin which is produced.

Blood Glucose Ranges

Blood Glucose RangesBlood glucose ranges are usually between 60 and 120 in a person with a normal metabolism. If a person has a metabolic dysfunction such as diabetes where the body either does not produce sufficient quantities of insulin or is resistant to the insulin produced the blood glucose ranges can swing wildly and at times can become so out of control as to be debilitating, sometimes even leading to coma or death. Prolonged, but less severe abnormal blood glucose ranges can damage the kidneys, liver, and even the heart, and can be a contributing factor to the development of glaucoma. (more…)

Diabetes Mellitus and Tuberculosis: The Science of Denial by Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer

Diabetes Mellitus and Tuberculosis Summary The thought that tuberculosis and its family of mycobacteria could cause diabetes seems farfetched, but is not. If this weren't true, then why would the Massachusetts General Hospital recently announce human trials with dilute cow tuberculosis (BCG) to attempt cure of type 1 juvenile diabetes, a disease historically thought by some to be caused by human tuberculosis. In nature, strains of tuberculosis, animal or human, have long been known to compete, change and destroy one another. And they do this through attack with their viral mycobacteriophage armament, which live inside all…
