Hi John
I hate to say, "Here we go again" but I can't think of any other way to put it.
Lo and behold, another "wonder drug" has been shown in a prestigious study to have positively 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 low down:
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 developing heart failure.
According to data gathered by researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA, people who take diabetes drugs like Onglyza 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.
History repeats itself
Now, this isn't the first time something like this has happened with DPP-4 diabetes drugs.
As you may remember, the popular diabetes drug Avandia was pulled from the market back in 2011 after it was found that it significantly increased users' risks of heart attack...
A fact that the manufacturer (GlaxoSmithKline) intentionally hid from the public for over 10 years!
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 advertisements lead you to believe), it's not like you take a drug and it innocently sails like an arrow to your "target problem area" to work its magic.
Not even CLOSE.
First and foremost, remember that drugs are chemicals that your body was never meant 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 resides.
So every time you take a drug, you are challenging your immune system functioning, period.
Then the drug is filtered through your liver…and depending on how toxic it is, this can stress your liver which happens to be your main organ of detox.
That’s why impaired liver function is a side effect of so many drugs!
Then once it leaves the liver and gets back 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 can make its way to your "problem area" and (hopefully) carry out its intended purpose.
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.
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 taking the drug and hoping your number doesn't come up in the side effects lottery.
But there is another measure that you can take.
One that's FAR safer than any drug ever created.
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 you can take to help counteract diabetes if you've got it, or help keep it far away from you 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 negatively 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.
On the flip side, it’s also important for the average person and especially for diabetics to avoid refined carbs—which basically turn to sugar in your system once they’re broken down and quickly flood your bloodstream with glucose.
The Great Taste No Pain system

can guide you in this crucial step.
First of all, the GTNP recipe book is loaded with easy, delicious dishes featuring nourishing real foods, including the diabetes-fighting foods I mentioned above.
Plus the Great Taste No Pain manuals show you how to put together meals that not only taste spectacular but are more easily digestible!
Not only will that help nourish and keep ALL of your organs healthier, but you'll likely experience fewer digestive problems (like gas, bloating and constipation) as a result!
And Great taste No Pain will also educate you on many of the health dangers of processed foods and refined carbs.
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, Omega-3 fish oil supplement like VitalMega-3 can help you satisfy this crucial need.
- http://www.bluerockholistics.com/product/vitalmega3.asp
Just 2 capsules a day gives you an impressive 2,000 mg of the purest, top-quality fish oil, including 600 mg. of EPA and 400 mg. of DHA (the crucial Omega-3 fatty acids).
3- Consider 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, better absorbable B12 supplement, look no further than Hydroxaden 2.5.

Hydroxaden 2.5 is a Vitamin B12 spray that you simply apply right under your tongue each day. The B12 can be quickly and efficiently absorbed right into your bloodstream through the mucus membranes in your mouth.
Note: Be sure to let your doctor know about the supplements you’re taking, especially if you are also taking diabetes drugs.
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 from within.
If you do, you just might be "whistling like Dixie" in the story below!
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
Great Taste No Pain has been a Godsend for me. I have been eating in the recommended way for almost a month.
I no longer am taking Prilosec for digestive pain. I also do not have to take Metformin any longer for diabetes!
What a wonderful miracle for me. I have been a Type 2 diabetic for five years, but no more.
I am satisfied with the foods I eat, no hunger cravings! I have lost seven pounds in three weeks of checking my weight weekly.
I am truly grateful for learning to eat the Great Taste No Pain way. Now I am sharing my discovery with others.
Thank you!
Dixie

• Stop smoking because it is really injurious.
• Morning walk because it increases blood circulation.
• Eat vegetables and fruits.
