The type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that is often preventable but sad to say, the condition is on the rise worldwide. Diabetes is now affecting 246 million people and is expected to hit 380 million by 2025. Each year a further 7 million people develop diabetes. It is now the fourth leading cause of global death by disease. Among the complications of diabetes are heart and blood vessel disease including stroke and heart attack, nerve damage, diabetic retinopathy, and kidney failure.
Diabetes is the largest cause of kidney failure and is responsible for huge dialysis costs. At least 50% of all people with diabetes are unaware of their condition and in some countries this figure may be as high as 80%. However, up to 80% of type 2 diabetes is preventable if we adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle, and increase physical activity.
According to medical research, insulin resistance is a major factor in the development of the syndrome. When you continually consume sugar, high carbohydrate and high fat diet, your body will become less sensitive to insulin. It compensates by making more insulin. Years later, the pancreas will simply give up. The insulin level drops and the blood sugar begin to rise. Insulin resistance leads to obesity.
In order to prevent and treat diabetes, you have to take note of the following points:
1. Eat a balanced diet by combining good protein and good fat with low glycemic carbohydrates. The protein and fats can be obtained from vegetables and its oils, olive oil, nuts, beans. It is also available from the cold water fish such as salmon and tuna which are rich in the omega 3 fatty acids. Protein is also available from fowl. Get the carbohydrates from whole fruits and vegetables. Avoid refined foods. Foods like fiber, brussels sprouts, cucumbers, green beans, soy beans, tofu and garlic have an insulin-like action on the body and should be included in the diet regularly.
2. Ensure that you have plenty of exercise. Exercise will make your body more sensitive to insulin. A brisk walk of 30-45 minutes three times weekly is more than sufficient.
3. Maintain a regular intake of supplements in your daily meals.
Do you know that 90% of diabetes can be prevented and eliminated by taking 4 major steps?

BOOK REVIEWS
The agony of having diabetes is beyond comparison. This is especially so when you take into account the subsequent complications arising out of uncontrolled blood sugar. Its association with cardiovascular disease is related to increased risk of heart attack, stroke and lower limbs amputation. Heart attack and stroke are the major causes of premature death in people with diabetes.
That is why we must emphasize on prevention or when diabetes is present, to delay the complications. Alongside practicing healthy lifestyles, you should not be contented with diabetes by just taking medications as on the long run, medicines have a very negative effect on the body. The pharmaceutical companies are churning deadly lies on the benefits of diabetic medicines just to fill up their coffers. There are medical practitioners who can vouch for this.
You should go for diet control, exercise and supplements. There are many websites that claim to be able to treat diabetes without resorting to medications. In our desperation to combat the disease, we should not simply succumb to such claims.
However, the websites below are very good presentations on the treatment of diabetes. The good number of testimonials supporting the effectiveness of the treatment as explained by the authors, Julia Hanf and Matt Traverso and the band of doctors who dared to speak up against conventional medicine speak volumes of the treatment. We do believe that the methods outlined can assist in combating diabetes. We have to persevere and to try all means to eliminate diabetes permanently to ensure that we can relive a happy and healthy life.

HOW TO REVERSE DIABETES NOW
By Matt Traverso
Skilfully written to highlight the impact of acids on the body arising from consumption of wrong foods which are acidic and thus bombard the pancreas leading to its exhaustion. When the pancreas gives up producing insulin, the blood sugar level will rise and diabetes sets in. He explained on ways to boost immunity, as well as reducing cravings for toxic foods. A good book to overcome diabetes.
How to overcome sinusitis
By Mohamad Ali
Sinusitis is inflammation or swelling of the mucous membrane that line the sinus cavities of the paranasal sinuses and it can be due to bacterial, viral, fungal or allergic reactions. Sinusitis can interfere with normal sinus drainage and causes increased mucus production. It can be chronic or acute (lasting three weeks or less and happening no more than three times per year).It is very common in adults but it rarely occur in children below the age of 5.
Symptoms of sinusitis may include pain and pressure in the face, yellow or greenish discharge from the nose, nasal congestion, and sometimes a fever, a chronic cough that produces mucus, and a reduced sense of taste or smell. Symptoms of this condition, like all types of fungal sinusitis, can be similar to bacterial sinusitis. On examination of the nose, mold spores and areas of dying tissue can be seen.
Sinusitis is often confused with rhinitis, a term used for the symptoms that accompany nasal inflammation and irritation. The incidence of sinusitis has increased dramatically with the increasing incidence of asthma, allergies, and other upper respiratory tract infections.
To reduce and gradually overcome sinusitis, you have to take the following steps:
1. Refrain from consuming excess starches and dairy products as these will cause an increase in mucus production and favors tissue congestion.
2. Start a 3-5 day mucus cleansing diet consisting of mainly fruits and vegetables (fresh fruit, fruit juice, fresh vegetable juice, raw salads with onions).
3. Avoid all irritants including alcohol, coffee, tea, strong spices, salt, sugar, and smoking.
4. Add in the following supplements:
A multi vitamins and minerals tablet once daily
Garlic, 2 capsules 3 times daily
Digestive enzymes containing papain and bromelain. These are mucolytics.
Vitamin C and bioflavonoids 2000 gm daily
Zinc tablet: 25-50mg, twice daily.

How to overcome flatulence
By Mohamad Ali
Flatulence, a digestive disorder, is actually the abnormal amounts of gas in the gastrointestinal tract which gets passed out through the anus. It is often accompanied by a distinctive noise which is due to the vibration of the anal sphincter and occasionally by closed buttocks. The flatus is flammable, as both methane and hydrogen are flammable gases. The odor in flatulence comes from hydrogen sulphide derived from foods in the diet, and other sulphur- or nitrogen-containing compounds including methanethiol. Flatulence is often accompanied by bloating, abdominal pain, belching and wind.
Irrespective of its cause, flatulence is the result of food not being completely digested or is being digested inadequately. The causes include bacteria, indigestion, and motility disorders. Other possible causes are swallowing air when smoking, talking while eating or drinking or performing similar actions too fast. It is a normal part of being human, but it can cause an alarming rate of embarrassment in certain situations. How many times have you been subjected to the unpleasant odor emitted from someone around you? Diet is the most important consideration in all cases of chronic, excess gas formation. Flatulence is a signal from your body that there is a problem that needs to be solved.
The solutions to the problem of flatulence are outlined below:
1. Check on the food combination during a meal. Starch and citrus combination will increase flatulence. So is the mixing of fruit and vegetables at the same meal. Melons with anything else have a similar effect. Junk food, refined food and fried foods in all chaotic combinations can also cause flatulence.
2. Excessively large meals definitely upset the digestive enzyme capacity and will lead to indigestion leading to fermentation and gas. Do not drink between meals. Eating slowly and chewing food longer allows the enzymes in saliva to break the food down before it enters the stomach and digestive tract.
3. Gas forming bacteria generally feed on certain carbohydrates and sugars. So, if these carbohydrates are reduced or eliminated from the diet, rectal gas can usually be significantly reduced. If the food consists of sweets, excess meat, refined carbohydrates, and with low fiber content, the bacterial flora change leading to poor digestion. The big offenders causing flatulence include cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, garlic, wheat, yeast, onions, apple peels, and bran.
4. Activated charcoal absorbs the gas and toxins in the gut. Take 1 -2 tablets in acute flatulence. Eat slices of ginger after a meal. It will aid in the digestion and will prevent flatulence.

How to overcome body odor
By Mohamad Ali
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes an offensive body odor. Body odor is a major personal problem for most people today. It is embarrassing, annoying and it reduces our social confidence. Sweat is generally odorless but it has been blamed for body odor. But remember, armpits are designed to sweat. Millions of dollars are spent annually in the development and usage of deodorants and antiperspirants supposedly to remedy the situation. However, these not only ignore the main cause of body odor, but in some cases can be detrimental to your health.
Body odor is the smell that arises as a result of bacterial decomposition of secretion of the skin apocrine glands at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat. The process yields ammonia and short chain fatty acids, with their characteristic strong odor. The most plentiful of the acids is the hexanoic acid which is brought to the skin surface. Bacteria living in and near the apocrine glands digest the chemicals and release even more different odors. Bacteria grow rapidly on wet skin.
One internal cause of body odor arises when there is an excess amount of toxin in the body. When the liver or the kidneys cannot cope with the excess, then the toxin must exit through the skin. Such a situation may happen due to liver disease or congestion, kidney disease, uremia, pneumonia, other systemic diseases, and improper diet.
In order to reduce and subsequently eliminate body odor, you must take the following steps:
1. Avoid intake of saturated animal fats or hydrogenated, meat, dairy products and fried food as these not only can lead to liver toxicity but also become an attractive media for bacterial infection. Refrain from consuming sugar, sweets and refined carbohydrates. Try a 2-week fast and adopting a vegetarian diet until symptoms are cleared. A healthy diet will keep the oils bacteria feed on to a minimum.
2. Try alternate hot and cold showers daily to maintain proper skin function. Ensure skin cleanliness as the oily secretion of sweat provides an ideal medium for bacterial growth.
3. Try Epsom salts baths. Soak for 20 minutes in a hot tub containing 500 gm of the salt and finish with a cold spray. Repeat daily for a week followed by 2-3 times per week until the body odor is normal.
4. Wear loose cotton clothing that breathes well, and light-colored clothing to reflect light and heat. Wearing natural fabrics like cotton, silk and wool will allow your skin to breathe. Natural fabrics tend to absorb perspiration better than artificial materials.
5. Maintain your body weight at a healthy level to reduce the odds of having excessive body odor.
6. Take the following supplements:
Multi vitamins and minerals tablet once daily
Zinc tablet 50mg three times daily
Chlorophyll 2 tablets 3 times daily
Omega 3 Fish Oil 1000 mg once daily
Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg once daily

Tips on how to overcome gastritis
By Mohamad Ali
Gastritis is not a disease on its own but a symptom of abnormal digestion. It is characterized by inflammation or irritation of the lining of the stomach. It affects millions of people worldwide. It can be divided into 3 categories: (1) erosive and hemorrhagic gastritis (2) non erosive and nonspecific gastritis (3) specific gastritis indicative of a disorder.
Gastritis can be due to a number of causes including excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged use of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as NSAIDs, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, or bacterial infection. Commonly, the bacterium that causes the inflammation of gastritis is the same as that which causes most stomach ulcers. Sometimes gastritis can develop after major surgery, burns, traumatic injury.
Symptoms of gastritis include abdominal discomfort, pain, bloating or gas, irritation, headache, general malaise, nausea and sometimes vomiting. Aside the use of medications, there are ways to combat gastritis by selective food inclusions or eliminations.
Positive actions to overcome gastritis include the following:
1. Limit or where possible eliminate your intake of simple sugar (sweet, fruit, and milk), flour, caffeine, alcohol, fatty foods, spicy foods and tomato products. These foods irritate the stomach lining, increase the production of stomach acid and weaken the sphincter at the end of the esophagus causing the extra acid to move up the esophagus.
2. Coconut water is an excellent remedy for gastritis. It gives the stomach the necessary rest and provides vitamins and minerals.
3. Eating a light or soft diet provides a lot of assistance. Cessation of smoking and relaxation therapy can also help. Eating a diet high in fiber may not only cut your risk of developing gastritis and ulcers in half, but fiber-rich foods may also speed the healing of ulcers. Vegetables are particularly protective sources of fiber and seem to reduce the amount of inflammation in the lining of the stomach.
4. Take a long term daily dose of Omega 3 Fish Oil 1000 mg to reduce and subsequently eliminate inflammation.
5. A daily dose of a multi vitamins and minerals tablet to assist in digestive health.
