I hate
to say, "Here we go again" but..."Here we go
again."
Lo
and behold, another "wonder drug" (and giant cash cow for the
drug industry) has been shown in a prestigious study to have deadly
side effects.
This
time the pill that makes you ill is Onglyza--a drug
prescribed for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.
Here's
the story:
The study that opened
Pandora's Box
New
research has confirmed that the "dipeptidyl peptidase-4" (DPP-4)
class of diabetes drugs can increase its users' risk of heart failure.
According
to data gathered by researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in
Boston, MA, people who take diabetes drugs like Onglyza (manufactured by
AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb) could very well destroy their heart's
ability to pump blood.
For
you non-biology majors, that means death.
The
two-year (industry-funded) study examined 16,492 patients taking Onglyza
for diabetes and was originally intended to assess the risk of heart attack
associated with the drug.
But
then the you-know-what hit the fan...
Because
not only did the drug NOT reduce heart attack risk as originally hoped but
it also proved to be FAR more dangerous than anyone thought.
You
see, while the study was being conducted, an unusually high number of the
study participants were being admitted to the hospital for heart failure!
Ooops.
The
researchers naturally took a closer look and sure enough, Onglyza was found
to be directly linked to this increase in heart problems.
Same old, same old
Now,
this isn't the first time something like this has happened with DPP-4
diabetes drugs.
As
you may remember, the diabetes drug Avandia was pulled from the market
in 2011 after it was found that it significantly increased users' risk
of heart attack...
...a
fact that the manufacturer (GlaxoSmithKline) intentionally hid from the
public for over 10 years! Nice people, huh?
And
similar diabetes drugs in the DPP-4 class have been linked to both
pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, as well as increased death rate from
all causes.
Not exactly an arrow
If
you find this latest news about diabetes drugs unsettling or downright
frightening, I understand.
But
it's no surprise. Instead it's the nature of the beast, my friend.
You
see, contrary to what most people think (and what most drug advertisers
lead you to believe), it's not like you take a drug and it innocently
sails like an arrow to your "problem area" to work its magic...
Not
even CLOSE.
First
and foremost, remember that drugs are chemicals that your body was never
designed to ingest. So your body basically sees them as a poison and must
treat them as such.
Once
you take a drug, it gets broken down by your GI tract and absorbed into
your bloodstream through the intestinal wall. This can destroy your
friendly gut flora which happens to be where 70% of your immune system
lives.
So
every time you take a drug, you are compromising your immune system
functioning, period. Every time.
Once
it's in your bloodstream, the drug has a clear path to sail all through
your body, and potentially cause harm to any of your cells, tissues and
organs (including your heart).
That's
why the typical drug can have such a WIDE variety of side effects--anywhere
in your body is fair game once something is in your bloodstream!
Eventually
the drug makes its way to your "problem area" and (maybe) carries
out its intended purpose if you're "lucky."
But what should you
do if you have diabetes?
If
you're one of the 26 million people in the US who have diabetes, you may be
chewing your nails at this point. After all, diabetes is nothing to play
with and it certainly can't be ignored. Because untreated diabetes
can lead to heart and blood vessel damage, kidney failure and nerve damage
that can eventually result in amputation.
So
for many diabetics, it becomes a matter of choosing what appears to be the
lesser of 2 evils -- take the drug and hope your number doesn't come up in
the side effects lottery.
But
there's another answer.
One
that's FAR safer than any drug ever created, and more effective...
It's
called helping your body from within.
You
see, you can safely and naturally help your body work more efficiently and
fight diabetes, or help prevent it from unleashing its wrath on you.
Here
are three VERY effective measures that can help counteract diabetes if
you've got it, or help keep it far away if you don't:
1- Eat for nourishment and
sound digestion
Properly
nourishing your body with real foods is always a good idea, but when you're
looking at diabetes, it's essential!
First
of all, real foods such as legumes, fatty fish, onions, tomatoes and whole
grains have been shown to be very helpful in preventing and controlling
diabetes.
Plus,
having sound digestion means better elimination of acid wastes and a
healthier pH. This is especially important to diabetics, since your
insulin-producing pancreas is VERY sensitive to pH. Even a slight dip into
the acid range can affect its functioning.
And
having fewer acid wastes in your blood makes your kidneys' job easier
too...which is good news if they are already stressed from dealing with
excess glucose.
The Great Taste No Pain
system will guide you all the way in this crucial step.
First
off, the recipe book
portion of the system is loaded with easy, delicious dishes featuring
nourishing real foods, including the diabetes-fighting foods
I mentioned above.
In
addition, the Great Taste No Pain manuals show you how to put together meals that taste super
spectacular and are digested easily without sending your system into mortal
combat!
Not
only will that help keep ALL of your organs healthier, but you'll likely
experience fewer digestive problems (like gas, bloating and constipation)
as a result!
2- Supplement with Omega-3
EFAs as needed
Omega-3 EFAs
provide crucial support to your metabolism including maintaining proper
insulin levels.
Problem is, our typical diets are heavy in processed foods, meat from
grain-fed animals and vegetable oils--all of which are high in Omega-6
fatty acids but are severely lacking the important Omega-3 EFAs.
Eating
fatty fish like I mentioned in #1 above can help, but for many that's not
enough--especially if you've had a typical modern diet for a long time.
Plus
some people don't like fish to begin with!
That's
when a
high quality, top shelf Omega-3 fish oil formula like VitalMega-3 can help
you more than satisfy this crucial need.
Just
2 capsules a day gives you an impressive 2,000 mg of the purest, medical
grade fish oil LOADED with EPA and DHA (the necessary Omega-3 fatty acids).
3- Vitamin B12 supplementation
In
a recent study, Vitamin B12 was shown to be even more effective than the
drug nortriptyline in improving symptoms of diabetic neuropathy!
It's
easy to see why...
You
see, B12
is crucial in supporting your nervous system, and it helps to maintain
the myelin sheath which coats and protects all your nerve cells.
Since
diabetic neuropathy is a form of nerve inflammation, B12 with its
"nerve-soothing" properties can actually help with symptom
reduction.
And
for an easy to use, highly absorbable B12 formula, look no further than
Hydroxaden 2.5.
Hydroxaden
2.5 is a Vitamin B12 nano-spray that you simply apply right under your
tongue each day. The B12 is quickly and efficiently absorbed right into
your bloodstream through the mucus membranes in your mouth.
Hydroxaden
2.5 gives you a daily dose of one of the best forms of Vitamin B12 in the
world (hydroxocobalamin). This form of
B12 has been shown to raise B12 levels higher and faster than other forms
of B12, and it lasts longer in your body, too.
If
you have diabetes (or want to help make sure you DON'T develop it), see
what a difference it can make to naturally help your body better from
within.
If
you do, you just might be "whistling like Dixie" in the story
below.
To
your health,
