PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

A disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, diabetes is in large part a product of the dietary habits of highly developed, economically affluent western countries. Primarily, cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas degenerate and fail to produce adequate amounts of insulin; but also the liver, adrenals, thyroid and pituitary, as well as the entire endocrine gland system and central nervous system, are involved in this disorder.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The ability to convert glucose into glycogen for storage in the liver and reconversion to glucose for energy usage is impaired in diabetes. Large amounts of sugar accumulate in the blood and spill over into the urine. The increased output of urine causes a severe loss of water-soluble nutrients, especially vitamin B-6 and others of the B-complex, as well as magnesium, potassium and zinc. Severe damage to the pancreas can result from a deficiency or absence of vitamin B-6 and magnesium in the body.

TREATMENT:

Refined carbohydrates, especially white sugar and caffeine, are the major culprits in the etiology of diabetes. These products MUST be removed entirely from the dietary program and, as nutritional requirements of the diabetic are undoubtedly many times greater than those of a healthy individual, strict attention must be given to providing adequate food intake of the right kind - completely natural. Supplements in large amounts are vital to recover. Because of urinary losses and stress, vitamin C requirement is very high and need for vitamin B-6 and magnesium is paramount. Diabetics also have high requirements for protein, lecithin, vitamins B-2 and B-3, pantothenic acid, potassium and zinc.
