Although the initial experience was a negative one, I am very thankful that it happened because I was forced to take serious inventory of my personal health. I have completely changed my life-style and I am now able to provide helpful information to others in hopes of having a positive impact on their lifes.

The health issue which I am speaking about is DIABETES. Prior to being diagnosed with this disease, I was overweight and my doctor encouraged me to lose 35 pounds. I heeded his advice and immediately embarked upon a weight lost program. One week later, I noticed that I was suddenly becoming extremely thirsty, and the thirst became unquenchable. I drank water by the gallons throughout the day and orange juice (one quart every three hours). As a result, my wife commented that I was going to burst my bladder. These large amounts of fluid intake led me to frequent urination. One day I went to the bathroom sixteen times within eight hours.

I also had prostate trouble which was extremely painful. I went to the doctor several times for the prostate problem (I was very embarrassed) and was given various anti-fungal/anti-viral ointments and anti-bacterial and anti-viral medications. These remedies only worked for a short time. I was referred to a skin specialist but despite the variation in medications he prescribed the relief was only temporary.

I often looked at myself in the mirror and was quite perturbed by what I saw. I knew something was drastically wrong with me, and I felt powerless because I did not know what the problem was. I was afraid to return to the doctor for fear that I would ultimately be diagnosed with the most dreaded disease, cancer.

I had come to terms with the fact that I was dying and I proceeded to make funeral arrangements. I instructed my family and friends of their roles at my funeral. I told my son-in-law that it was his responsibility to take care of my other two daughters. I had spoken to each of my friends individually, and no one knew my reason for the discussions I had with them. They thought that I was making arrangements for the distant future - not knowing that I was speaking about the immediate present.

One day I visited one of my cousin's home and within one hour I drank three quarts of her pineapple juice. I apologized to her and promised her that she would be repaid. She thought something was wrong with me but could not tell what it was.

On another occasion I visited my sister and within one hour I drank two gallons of juice from her refrigerator and urinated five times. She is a registered nurse, and she told me that I displayed the symptoms of someone with diabetes. I was devastated, but slightly relieved because it was not the dreaded cancer.

Later that day I visited my mother who is also a diabetic. She had not seen me for a while because of my work schedule. When she saw me she became quite alarmed and wanted to know what was wrong. I told her what some of my symptoms were and she immediately suggested that she checked my blood sugar. This she did and was very alarmed at the results. Although she felt hers was extremely high at 354, my reading was 537. She strongly recommend that I go the emergency room immediately. I did not go until the following day. I immediately purchased a "One Touch Profile" machine and checked my blood sugar that night before I retired. My blood sugar had elevated to 581.

When I went to the emergency room the nurse checked my blood sugar and it registered 527. I was immediately given medication to control my blood sugar. My readings greatly fluctuated after every meal. I became very depressed. My doctor suggested that I increased the medication. This I did, but my blood sugar was only controlled temporarily. He almost prescribed the use of insulin. I asked him to postpone that medication for a week.

I was also beginning to lose my sight; my vision was blurred. Imagine, I needed my glasses to read, but I had to remove them and practically close my eyes in order read. I also had dizzy spells and almost fainted on several occasions.

I never liked reading but since I was diagnosed as a diabetic, I started reading almost every piece of literature I could place my hand upon that related to diabetes. I was determined to reverse my condition.

A very dear friend suggested that I attend an orientation dealing with colon cleansing. A course of study followed after which a Colon Hygenist certificate was issued upon completion of the course. I attended and completed the course. It was very intense. I received my Colon Hygenist certification and my life has not been the same since.

One of the challenges of the course was to participate in a 7-Day cleansing and detoxification program. I participated in the 7-Day Cleansing and Detoxification Program utilizing a Home Colonic Unit (Colema Board) and it has changed my life completely.

Upon completion of the program, my blood sugar decreased from 354 to 72. Since then, it has not exceeded 90. Also, I have not had the need to use any prescribed/over-the-counter medications, or harmful drugs to control my blood sugar level.

I have completely changed my lifestyle.

DIETARY CHANGES:

• No longer eat white bread which I used to love.
• Avoid cakes, pastries, ice cream, hot dogs.
• Avoid all dairy products
• Avoid using refined sugars and salt
• Avoid fried foods
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol
• Avoid all types of meats
• Avoid canned foods
• Eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables, such as apples, asparagus, bananas, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupe, eggplant, garlic, grapefruit, green leafy vegetables, melons, peas, prunes, raisins, squash, and sweet potatoes.
• I also include fresh "live" juices in my diet. The following juices are healthful: beet, carrot and celery; currant, cranberry, citrus fruit, parsley, spinach, and watermelon.
• Eat grains like brown rice, buckwheat, millet, and oats.
• Eat a large bowl of vegetable salad with flax seed or olive oil, onion and garlic
• Eat lots of grains and legumes and soy bean products

DETOXIFICATION:
I use the following detox programs:

• CLEANSTART is a very special formula designed to remove environmental pollutants and toxins that build up in the body and slows the body's natural cleansing and detoxifying process. It is considered to be a complete and effective formula because it supports the five (5) primary cleansing and detoxifying eliminatory organs - liver, kidneys, lungs, bowels and skin. This is a fantastic product.
• PROBIOTIC ELEVEN which is a unique combination of healthful probiotics to help replenish a depleted supply that are easily destroyed or harmed by aging, adverse intestinal pH, microbial interactions, environmental and dietary temperatures, stress, physiologic factors, peristalsis, bile acids, host secretions, immune responses and antibiotic therapy. They support digestion, promote immunity and aid in the elimination of toxins. Probiotics also help regulate intestinal functions and can greatly improve colon distress.
• Milk Thistle is very effective in detoxifying and regenerating the liver. It helps combat the toxic buildup occurring every day from the foods we ingest and the air we breathe. It prevents free radical damage by acting as an antioxidant protecting the liver. It also protects the kidneys.

SUPPLEMENTATION:
I take the following supplements on a daily basis:

• High Potency Grapine to help neutralize free radicals because they cause havoc and destruction in our bodies through "oxidative" damage. Free radicals damage has been linked to premature aging and virtually every chronic degenerative disease including heart disease, arthritis, and cancer.
• Super Omega3 Omega-3 fatty acids, reduces inflammation (one of the causes of diabetes is inflammation of the pancreas) which is helpful in arthritis, rheumatism, and gout. It has also been shown to lower the risk of heart disease and potentially reduce prostate cancer incidence. These acids actually help strengthen the membranes around our billions of body cells, making them stronger at the cellular level. DHA (concentrated most highly in the brain and retina of the eyes), and EPA help reduce the amount of cholesterol the liver makes, and then thin the blood, making clots less likely to form in arterial plaque.
• Chromium GTF Consider chromium with Glucose Tolerance Factor your body’s personal assistant. It’s a trace mineral that encourages “glucose tolerance factor” production, or GTF. GTF carries glucose out of the blood and into the cell–overcoming insulin resistance, the leading cause of diabetes. Chromium stimulates GTF production in your intestines, the GTF helps glucose metabolism and reception by body cells, and this keeps blood sugar levels on the level, in turn keeping inflammation down.
• Carbo Grabbers Let’s face it: we’re a society addicted to carbs. And even if you make quantum leaps cutting down on breads, pasta, cookies, and your favorites candy bar, being truly “low carb” is one touch job. That’s why I strongly recommend a carbohydrate reduction combination designed to actually prevent the digestion of starches, a leading cause of high blood sugar. It’s miraculous–and not only does it control diabetes, but most people using this supplement find it’s easier to lose weight. Here’s how it works: the carbohydrate reduction combination is a non-stimulant amylase inhibitor composed of purified white kidney beans. Yes, kidney beans! This substance has been proven to naturally, safely prevent the body’s absorption of starches–meaning you metabolize fewer calories so your weight stays down and sugar from starch stays out of your bloodstream. A recent study shows that two of these remarkable capsules, taken before a high-starch meal, can block absorption of up to 50% of the meal’s carbohydrates. A companion study tracked users and found it was not uncommon for participants to lose as much as 10 pounds per month using the supplement–with no change to diet or exercise. plied directly to gums in cases of sensitive teeth and mouth sores.
• Pro-Pancreas (P14) A healthy pancreas is at the core of diabetes-free living. But many diabetics (or pre-diabetics) have a pancreas that no longer produces insulin at all, or produces insufficient amounts, or it is exhausted, stressed, and weak from inflammation or repeated sugar spiking. You can revitalize and support this all-important organ with a pancreas support combination the includes the following 14 complementary herbs:
  • Golden seal - to boost immunity and help regulate blood sugar
  • Juniper berries - to amplify the benefits of magolden seal, while aiding the liver, gallbladder, and urinary tract.
  • Garlic - to lower blood fat and sugar while increasing the level of insulin in the blood.
  • White oak bark, mullein leaves, slippery elm bark, marshmallow root and yarrow flowers - to soothe and support inflamed body tissues, especially in respiratory and digestive systems.
  • Licorice, capsicum, cedar berries, dandelion, and nettle - to support the above herbs while aiding immunity, digestion, even glandular function.
• Blood sugar Formula Blood sugar control is the solution to a chasm of health problems—with diabetes and early mortality leading the way. Because we’ve now drawn the link between blood sugar and longevity, keeping glucose in check has a whole new level of importance. Regulate your glucose with a quality blood sugar combination that includes these natural ingredients: • Gymnema - researchers speculate that this miraculous plant extract actually helps repair a damaged endocrine system, including the pancreas. It’s also considered hypoglycemic, meaning it can decrease blood sugar levels. • Fenugreek, bitter melon, nopal, banaba - these combat insulin resistance. The herbs help cells accept sugar, getting it out of the blood stream and putting it to work as energy. • Bilberry - this is a powerful antioxidant that protects vulnerable organs (eyes, kidneys, stomach) from devastation of diabetes. • Chromium and vanadium - these are trace minerals that lower blood sugar by boosting insulin reception. They may be taken with Chromium with GTF.
• Thai-Go Thai-Go is a blend of the most healthful fruits and nutritional supplements from all over the world. Thai-Go is replete with xanthones, bioflavonoids and powerful antioxidants. Bioflavonoids give fruits and vegetables their bright colors. In the body, bioflavonoids enhance vitamin C absorption and help maintain collagen and capillary walls. They also aid in the body’s immune–defense system. Antioxidants scavenge the free radicals that the body accumulates as a byproduct of energy production as well as through pollution, tobacco smoke, ultraviolet light and radiation. Antioxidants benefit virtually every organ and body system because they mop up damaging free radicals. Thai-Go delivers a punch of antioxidant protection with a very high ORAC value. Among Thai-Go’s key ingredients is mangosteen, a tasty fruit found in eastern tropical nations, such as Thailand. Mangosteen contains the greatest known supply of compounds called xanthones. Xanthones offer powerful immune and cardiovascular support. Other ingredients in this nutritious juice include wolfberry, sea buckthorn, red grapes, grape seeds, grape skins, raspberries, blueberries, apple extract and green tea.

EXERCISE:
I know exercise is extremely important but I have not been able to embark upon an intense program as I would like to because of my work schedule. However, I include a lot of walking in my daily schedule anyway. Also, whenever I perform any out of office duties, I would park many block away and walk. There are lots high-rise buildings in our city. Instead of taking the elevator, I would take the stairs.

STRESS:
I also discovered that stress played a major role in my contracting diabetes. I make every effort to avoid stress as much as possible. However, when stressful situation occur, I try my very best to remain very calm. Recently, one of my employees asked why I was always so positive and always calm? My response was that being calm is healthier than being angry.

Following are recent testimonials from a few people who have completed a 7-Day Cleansing and Detoxification program. You can also read what others have to say by clicking here...

• "Aside from the tremendous amounts of foreign matter I expelled, there were many pleasant surprises from the toxins being flushed from my body. After the fourth day of the 7-Day fast, my skin became baby-like smooth, I was no longer tired and fatigued at work, and I started waking up energetic-before my alarm. My visiting parents noticed such a change in me within those few days that they immediately ordered units for themselves." RY, Taipei, Taiwan
  
  
• "I have been a vegetarian for at least 25 years and didn’t think I needed this program. I reluctantly decided to go on the 7-day liquid cleansing and detoxification program and was amazed at the results. I not only feel great but I also lost 25 pounds in seven days. I now recommend the program to everyone.” I.S., Brooklyn, N.Y.

Since I have been able control my diabetes, I have lost 45 pounds and 4 inches and am also able to control my weight. I look healthier and feel healthier and constantly receive complements about my youthful appearance from both men and women. I also no longer have to concern myself with allergies, colds and the flu virus. My sight is also improving.

Through my research, I now have a better understanding of how my body functions. I realize that cleansing, detoxification, supplementation, dietary changes, drinking lots of water, exercise, and managing stress (since I lead a very stressful life) play a very important role in my overall health. I would like to let the whole world know that I also practice what I preach.

Did you know that diabetes affects over 20 million Americans and the number is rapidly increasing? Are you aware many children are also now contracting the disease?

According to a report (2001) by Dr. C. Roland Khan, President of Harvard University Joslin Diabetes Center, "unbalanced blood sugar kills one American every three minutes."
