Another
giant dark cloud recently began hovering over the pharmaceutical
industry.
Seems
they again may be making fewer billions because some of their cash cows
have been shown to cause an inconvenient, silly little side effect known as
"pancreatitis" (a possibly FATAL inflammation of the
pancreas).
The
cash cows in question?
The
drugs Januvia (Merck) and Byetta (Bristol-Myers Squibb),
which are both used to treat type 2 diabetes.
Both
of these medications "work" by increasing amounts of a hormone
called GLP-1, which stimulates your pancreas to produce insulin and thereby
reduce blood glucose levels.
But
it appears they're also causing the pancreas to go completely haywire.
Here's
the scoop:
Pancreatitis risk is 2x, pancreatic cancer risk 25X higher
According
to a study published on February 25, 2013 in the JAMA Internal Medicine
journal, type 2 diabetes patients taking Januvia or Byetta were twice as
likely as those who took other drugs to end up in the hospital with
pancreatitis.
With
pancreatitis, digestive enzymes produced in your pancreas become activated
too soon--while they're still inside the pancreas!
Other
reports showed these drugs to be 25 times likelier to increase pancreatic
cancer rates compared to other diabetes drugs.
This
is way not good.
You
see, during normal digestion, your pancreas secretes INACTIVE enzymes.
These enzymes travel to the small intestine, and in there they get
activated to continue breaking down the foods that have just left your
stomach.
But
when the enzymes become activated too soon, they can actually digest the
tissues of your pancreas! This leads to the classic symptoms of
pancreatitis--chronic inflammation, abdominal pain, fever and nausea.
And
in this case, the researchers in the study above found that the
pancreatitis was triggered by pancreatic lesions caused by the drugs!
Pancreatitis
is especially dangerous because it can eventually be fatal in and of itself.
Yeah,
I guess when your pancreas digests enough of itself you eventually
can't live to tell about it.
It
can also lead to pancreatic cancer (which is nearly always fatal) or kidney
failure (which also has its share of fatalities).
So
needless to say, lawsuits over these drugs are a-blazing this very
moment.
So now what?
This
is scary news for the 300+ million people worldwide with type 2 diabetes.
But
the glimmer of hope here is that when you actually understand what's going
on with type 2 diabetes, then look at its root causes and DO something
about them, your chances of needing medication to begin with decreases
dramatically!
And
so can your risk of possibly-fatal pancreatitis.
Let's
first take a peek at what's really going on with type 2 diabetes:
It all starts with a
little resistance
Insulin
resistance is where your body produces insulin but it doesn't have the
desired effect.
You
see, in a normal, healthy body, when food is eaten and broken down, glucose
enters the bloodstream. That alerts the pancreas to secrete insulin, which
tells your body's cells to absorb and use the glucose.
That
way, your body has the fuel it needs and the level of sugar in your blood
is regulated.
But
with insulin resistance, your cells don't respond like they're supposed
to--they "ignore" the insulin and "refuse" to absorb
the glucose.
Consequently,
you need MORE insulin to "force" the glucose to bully its way
into your cells.
Your
pancreas gets seriously overworked trying to keep up with this increasing
need for insulin, and it can begin to fall short.
Then,
excess glucose builds up in your bloodstream, and you become labeled a Type
2 diabetic.
So what causes or
contributes to type 2 diabetes?
Here
are a well-known and other not-so-well-known factors behind type 2 diabetes:
1) Eating processed foods and
refined carbohydrates
This
in number ONE.
Eating
these foods packs on the pounds and creates a vicious cycle in your body
that opens the door for type 2 diabetes.
Here's
what's happening:
Most
nutrient-poor processed foods and refined carbohydrates (sugars, white
flour, white rice and all products made with them), basically turn to
nothing but sugar (glucose) in your body.
If
your body burns up the glucose for energy, that's fine. But the problem
arises when there is SO much excess glucose over and above what you need
for daily fuel.
Excess
glucose not used by your body is stored as...
Fat.
Blubber. Lots of you to love.
And
most people are eating WAY too many processed, refined foods day in and day
out, and packing on the pounds as a result.
Plus,
you're taunting your pancreas. Having excessive amounts of glucose in your
blood consistently is a great way to stress your pancreas because it has to
operate in overdrive to keep up with your insulin needs.
And
eventually you can find yourself in the insulin resistance scenario I
described above.
2) Unbalanced estrogen
Having
excess estrogen is a contributing factor in the development of diabetes.
This
explains why menopausal women have five times more type 2 diabetes than
men, since estrogen becomes more dominant during menopause.
3) The use of prednisone
(synthetic cortisone)
Elevated
cortisol commonly goes hand in hand with elevated blood sugar.
4) Enzyme deficiencies
Diabetics
are commonly deficient in lipase (the enzyme that digests fats) which is
needed for the metabolism of insulin and for the best chance of a
"warm welcome" of the glucose by your cells.
Insulin
metabolism can be hampered or markedly reduced depending on the amount of
undigested fat you have floating around in your blood. So clearly, it's
essential to have the enzymes you need to properly digest fats.
Safe, natural
measures against type 2 diabetes
There
are two safe, natural yet very effective measures you can take to help
avoid stressing your pancreas and encourage your body to properly
metabolize insulin and glucose:
1. Eat fewer processed foods
and refined carbs
In
the Great Taste No Pain
health system, I show you delicious ways to enjoy REAL foods -- whole
grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and fish. And the meals are all
easily digested, so you get maximum nutrient absorption and more regular
BMs and less gas!
These
are foods that are nutrient-dense and don't result in the harmful onslaught
of sugar in your body like processed and refined foods. That means less
excess glucose to turn to fat, and less likelihood of insulin resistance
and the resulting type 2 diabetes.
And
ladies, better digestion also means that excess estrogen can be properly
eliminated with your bowel movements, instead of being reabsorbed and
contributing to diabetes like I mentioned in #2) above.
Plus,
when you do what I tell you to do in GTNP, you feel fuller
longer, so you'll eat less. That can mean a smaller number on the scale
too--how's THAT sound just in time for bathing suit season?
2. Give your body a boost
with enzymes
Unfortunately,
when you're running low in enzymes, your body doesn't give you a nudge and
say, "Hey, you better give me a hand here."
Instead
it gives you subtle hints--like poor digestion, gas, bloating, acid reflux
and...
A
greater likelihood of type 2 diabetes.
That's
right. If your body doesn't have the enzymes it needs to properly break
down fats (and many people with a diet rich in fats and/or who have lost
their gallbladder are prime candidates), you are reducing your body's
ability to respond to insulin...
And
just begging for type 2 diabetes.
That's
why it's essential to eat lots of enzyme-containing foods like fresh
vegetables and fruit.
And
supplement with a high-quality enzyme supplement like Digestizol Max.
Digestizol
Max
contains a
potent, effective blend of 14 plant-derived enzymes that will get to
work immediately and help your body break down proteins, carbs and fats
like it should.
When
your digestion is accomplished efficiently, you can feel the difference from
head to toe:
- Your body can eliminate
wastes and toxins better, so you can have less overall inflammation and
fewer aches and pains.
- Excess weight can come off
more easily.
- You can have easy, regular
bowel movements.
- You'll likely experience
less gas, bloating and flatulence.
And:
You become much less likely to develop type 2 diabetes!
If
you have concerns about type 2 diabetes, don't think that dangerous
(possibly fatal) drugs are your only option!
You
can do SO much to help your body along and encourage it to work the way
it's supposed to. With no possibility of side-effects whatsoever.
By
eating real foods and giving your body some enzyme help if needed, you are
taking HUGE steps toward a life free of type 2 diabetes.
Doesn't
that sound nice?
To
your health,

PPS: Sara's down 31
pounds and has almost given up her insulin!
Hi Sherry,
I'm so happy I found you on
the internet.
My life was one wreck and I
had just about given up on it completely. Then I read your book and
immediately I loved it. I started on your plan right away to put what you
said in action.
It works! I weighed 269 lbs.
when I started and today I weigh 238 and have almost given up all of my
insulin.
This is great and thank you so
much for your help.
Again let me thank you for
your help.
Sara
