Most people think that diabetes has no cure, doctors included. The disease is progressive, meaning it gets worse and worse as time goes on, but also fatal. Even while the patient is still alive, diabetes creates a web of complications set off by each attack. In this manner, diabetes can attack every major organ very quickly.
Martin Pytela and his co-host Scott Paton continue their discussion of the illness in this week’s podcast episode. Check it out right here:

Most public health officials will grant that they can not slow the disease very efficiently. Many doctors fear for waves of new cases of diabetes which will overwhelm the general public’s health. There was even an article about this very issue in the New York Times recently. The article questioned the medical establishments’ treatment of communicable diseases over chronic illnesses such as diabetes, which kill many more people comparatively.
Indeed, most New York hospitals will be filled with patients seeking treatment for diabetes on any given day. It is estimated that half the patients there are seeking help due to some complication that is at least related to the disease.
One of the important topics that Martin and Scott bring up in this podcast episode is magnesium. In all the talk about diabetes, magnesium seems to get lost in the clamour, despite the fact that scientists suspect a deficiency could greatly affect insulin secretion throughout the pancreas and insulin resistance in the body’s tissues. There are also many other reasons that magnesium should be supplemented. It helps out a great deal with many of the body’s processes, so much so that it is quite a surprise that is not more well known as the pillar of health and vitality that it is.

Diabetes is more common of a disease than you may first imagine. Despite this, you need never develop it. It’s time to take back control of your own blood sugar levels. This will help reverse your body’s resistance to insulin so you never develop type 2 diabetes.
In this podcast episode, my co-host Scott Paton and I discuss the seemingly contradictory facts that the body is naturally healthy yet we are always sick. Here’s the episode in full:

The body is naturally self-cleansing. It knows how to heal and maintain itself far better than the conscious mind or our mass media for that matter. The internal systems of the body are indeed complex, yet all it takes is adequate nutrients for all the body’s system to function in perfect harmony. The problem today is that not a lot of these nutrients that our body needs are readily available in the foods we eat. This is where supplementation might come in handy for filling in the gaps.
One of the goals of the Life Enthusiast Co-op is to offer you natural solutions for problems that impede vibrant, total health. We try to do better than that by offering these solutions both conveniently and economically.
More and more, medical research is suggesting that those who supplement their bodies with the proper nutritional supplements are the ones who are going to live longer, happier, lives.
The standard all-American diet is probably not going to just do this on its own. Indeed, we are reaching the point where even with a strong diet and mainstream supplements we are not maximizing our body’s full potential.
The two supplements I recommend most to my clients seeking increased vitality are our Vitamin C and Magnesium supplements. Both these components are so very important to the way the body functions and I encourage to read more about them in the Health Education section of our website.
The most important thing to remember is that you already have all the tools needed to get healthy and stay that way. All it takes is eliminating the factors that get in the way of the body doing what it does best.
