| Diabetes, Obesity & Children, What do they have in Common? |  |
© By Lena Sanchez
Once upon a time, sounds like a fairy tale and it is anything but,
diabetes was a rare disorder in children. That is no longer the
case. Diabetes is rampant in our children and grandchildren.
What is being done to remedy this situation? Sadly, the 2003
The National Children with Diabetes Foundation had their
conference in Orlando Florida and I read through their notes
and so-called education with the hopes of finding out that
someone was educating these children and parents on how
to reverse or prevent diabetes.
The conference was sponsored by a whole host of drug
companies and glucose monitoring equipment companies but
I found nothing on truly helping prevent or reverse diabetes or
even a sensible explanation of diabetes. There was everything
about how to monitor and what insulin is best for what diabetes,
when is the best time to monitor the blood and give the insulin,
but nothing to encourage them to possibly reverse or prevent the
problem. Don't know why I was surprised, as I should have
known it would be nothing short of pushing their products.
I was greatly disappointed that their education in prevention is
totally missing!
These obese diabetic children are at risk for blindness,
losing limbs and mental tardiness. All side effects of adult
onset diabetes who start later in life, so what chance do these
children have at being healthy starting so early in life? Not much.
Let's look at why diabetes is running rampant in the kids of
today!
First and foremost is our fast food society. The drive-in
restaurants - with parents permission - feed them fat and junk
that in turn puts pounds on them, kills their immune system
so that they are one constant infection waiting to take hold.
Moms are simply tired from a hard days work away from home,
that it's easier to drive through than it is to go home and
put a good diet on the table. Hence insufficient
minerals and vitamins to promote growth and health.
Secondly Play Station and computers have them in front of the
screens playing games, when they are home, and the only thing
moving is the hands and eyes. While the TV programs are
making vegetables from their brains because they do not have
to use the brain, hence the TV nickname BoobTube, creating
real mental disability.
Third children are fed diets of high carbohydrates, which in
turn become sugar in their system overloading the pancreas.
They also ingest so much sugar that another burden is placed
on the pancreas. With both causing extreme obesity in more
than 60% of children. So with the sugar choking it and the fat
choking it is it any wonder the pancreas stops working and
can't handle the load put on it.
Yes I am fully aware the medical profession says ingesting
sugar does not cause diabetes. Well grandma was right and
these guys are so off base. It has been proven that the
pancreas overloaded with sugar and trying to cope with
the insulin required that it will break down soon!
Treating diabetes flawed as well!
Dr. Julian Whitaker wrote; "Diabetes means having an elevated
blood sugar level. The tragedy is that the treatment of diabetes is
fundamentally flawed and has not changed appreciably in 50 years.
Today's entire approach to diabetes is an almost neurotic fixation
on lowering the blood sugar level, either with insulin or oral drugs.
Incredibly, this approach totally ignores the fact that most diabetics
produce too much of their own insulin."
Leaving a child or adult in a wronged treatment program!
He goes on to say, "You see, only 10% of diabetic's actually have
reduced production of insulin. They're called insulin-dependent
(type I) diabetics, and will likely always need insulin replacement.
However, 90% of diabetics have non-insulin-dependent (type II)
diabetes. Rather than an insulin deficiency, these patients
produce two to three times the normal level, but the insulin
doesn't work."
As a result of this process, diabetes causes massive excretion
not only of glucose-rich urine. It also triggers massive losses
of the nutrients you need for health, including B1, B6 and B12,
as well as the 84 minerals in your system. Some are so
important to health, magnesium, selenium, zinc and chromium,
that without them the heart and all other systems start to break
down. This loss of vital nutrients is perhaps the primary reason
for the deterioration of their eyes, kidneys, peripheral nerves
and vessels that so often occurs with diabetes.
These same complications would result from any condition that
causes such massive nutrient depletion. Once you realize this,
you can appreciate why eating properly and nutritional
supplementation of your diet is the keys to avoiding, minimizing
and even reversing diabetes and its harmful effects.
So you see education in prevention is of the utmost importance
in preventing and reversing diabetes in children who may or may
not grow up to be adults. Good fresh vegetables, less sugars,
less complex carbohydrates and supplementing with total
minerals and meganutrient rich natural vitamins along with
eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables free of chemicals
is the children's only chance of survival.
