Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the amount of glucose (sugar) in the
blood is too high because the body cannot use it properly. Glucose comes from
the digestion of starchy foods such as bread, rice, potatoes, yams and plantain,
from sugar and other sweet foods, and from the liver which makes glucose.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, that helps the glucose to enter
the cells where it is used as fuel by the body. Glucose levels in the blood are
regulated by the production of insulin a lack of insulin results in excessively
high blood sugar levels. The main symptoms of untreated diabetes are increased
thirst, going to the toilet all the time – especially at night, extreme
tiredness, weight loss, genital itching or regular episodes of thrush, and
blurred vision.
Types and causes of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin dependent diabetes
Type 2 diabetes, also known as non insulin dependent diabetes
Type 1 diabetes develops if the body is unable to produce any insulin. This type
of diabetes usually appears before the age of 40. It is treated by insulin
injections and diet and regular exercise is recommended. Type 1 diabetes
develops when the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas have been destroyed.
Nobody knows for sure why these cells have been damaged but the most likely
cause is an abnormal reaction of the body to the cells. This may be triggered by
a viral or other infection. This type of diabetes generally affects younger
people. Both sexes are affected equally.
Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can still make some insulin, but not
enough, or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly (known as
insulin resistance). This type of diabetes usually appears in people over the
age of 40, though in South Asian and African-Caribbean people, often appears
after the age of 25. It is treated by diet and exercise alone or by diet,
exercise and tablets or by diet, exercise and insulin injections. Type 2
diabetes used to be called 'maturity onset' diabetes because it usually appears
in middle-aged or elderly people, although it does occasionally appear in
younger people. The main causes are that the body no longer responds normally to
its own insulin, and/or that the body does not produce enough insulin. People
who are overweight are particularly likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. It tends
to run in families and is more common in Asian and African-Caribbean
communities. Some people wrongly describe Type 2 diabetes as 'mild' diabetes.
There is no such thing as mild diabetes. All diabetes should be taken seriously
and treated properly
Other causes of diabetes
There are some other causes of diabetes, including certain diseases of the
pancreas, but they are all very rare. Sometimes an accident or an illness may
reveal diabetes if it is already there, but they do not cause it.
Magnetic treatments for Diabetes
Diabetes has many profound effects on the body, increased risk of heart disease,
neuropathy( nerve damage), retinopathy() and poor circulation/healing.
Most of these adverse effects can be very successfully treated with the
application of therapeutic magnets to specific areas.
Diabetic neuropathy is long-term damage to the nerve fibres. It happens when
high blood sugar levels are present over several years. In diabetes, the form it
usually first takes is reduced sensation in the feet. The nerve damage affects
each foot equally and eventually spreads up the legs. Poor sensation in your
feet makes them more prone to injury. Combined with poor circulation this can
easily lead to ulcers and infections.
The nerve damage can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Because this
complication is caused by poor blood sugar control, people who don't take enough
care in controlling their diabetes stand a higher risk of developing nerve
damage.
Diabetic neuropathy can be treated with magnetic shoes insoles.
These
are usually flexible ferrite magnets that are formed inside a very thin (2mm
thickness) shoe insole. The gauss/tesla rating of magnetic insoles is very high,
normally around 25,000 gauss/2.5 tesla , per foot. Because the magnets cover the
entire foot area they create one very large magnet that has the ability to
create a widespread magnetic field , that can penetrate all the way up to the
knee , as well as having the strength to penetrate deep into the tissues.
Tests in the USA, using magnetic insoles on patients with diabetic neuropathy
revealed that 90% of the patients tested gained an improvement in blood
perfusion ( circulation) and in nerve sensation.
The insoles will drastically improve the blood flow to the feet and lower leg
plus the oxygen rich blood will help in the renewal of the nerve endings, which
will return sensation to the affected areas. Pain, tingling, burning and
numbness will be reduced. Most people report that they can feel an almost
immediate warmth in their feet and lower legs , followed by a tingling as
sensation and circulation return. For the effects to last the insoles should be
worn all day every day, but they can be removed at night time.
Poor circulation, poor healing and the increased risk of heart disease all stem
from the action of increased insulin levels in the body. When blood sugar levels
(glucose) are high the bodies’ reaction is to tell the pancreas to increase
insulin production. As the blood sugar level gets higher then the pancreas has
to in turn produce even more insulin to combat the effects of the glucose I in
the blood. Over at long period of time the pancreas begins to shut down and can
no longer produce the amount of insulin that the body requires to counter act
blood glucose. This causes type 2 diabetes.
During the time when the body was producing very high insulin levels in the body
the insulin was having a negative impact on the bodies metabolism. Insulin slows
down the metabolism making it harder to metabolise (break down and convert) fats
into energy. The result of the slow metabolism is to store the excess fat in the
tissues. Over a period of years this creates a high body fat index. The other
detrimental effect of insulin in the blood is that it encourages bad fats and
bad cholesterol to cling to and coat the arteries ( particularly the coronary
arteries). People with diabetes have a high risk of developing heart disease,
high blood pressure and poor circulation because of high insulin levels (even
type 1 diabetics who will have had high insulin levels from injecting insulin to
control blood sugar levels).
It is possible to reduce the damage that has built up over the years, by
drinking magnetised water. In short, when you drink water that has been
magnetised, the magnetic field is very rapidly transported around the whole
body. The size of the water molecule is increased and minerals are more easily
absorbed. Toxins are draw out of the tissues and flushed out of the body via the
kidneys.
Once water has been magnetised it becomes alkaline and this will reduce acidity
in the body, hormone levels can also be affected by the water changes that take
place during magnetisation. For a diabetic this means that blood glucose levels
are stabilised and do not require so much insulin to regulate them, plus blood
cholesterol levels will be reduced, which in turn will reduce build up of plague
along artery walls.
Drinking magnetised water on a daily basis will begin to reverse the adverse
effects of long term high insulin levels. With out high blood insulin levels
circulation and perfusion (oxygenation of the tissues) will improve, including
the bodies healing capacity. Once cholesterol levels have reduced the risk of
heart disease will also be less. Magnetised water should be used on a permanent
basis to act as a preventative measure as well as a treatment of current
symptoms.
