Are You One of Five Million?
This year alone, some 187,000 people will die as a result of their inability to control Type II diabetes (also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [NIDDM]). Type II diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death by disease.
Fortunately, you can easily manage diabetes—with sensible diet, exercise and specific nutritional support such as Circ Elation™ and Skin Elation™ oral and topical formulas from Whitewing Labs.
Are You at Risk?
Symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, weight gain, fatigue, numbness in extremities, and blurred vision. Obesity and a diet high in refined carbohydrates are two of the key risk factors. Do not ignore these symptoms or risk factors if you or a loved one has them.
Take Action;
Don’t Live in Denial
There is no reason to fear. “The best way to
reverse the effects of diabetes—and it is reversible—is through a balanced diet
of whole foods,” says Joseph Pizorno, N.D., president of Bastyr University.
One recent study from Harvard University found that a diet of high
carbohydrate, low-fiber foods such as white potatoes, white bread, pasta, and white rice
more than doubled the
risk of Type II diabetes. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates such as whole-wheat bread, legumes, oatmeal, millet and brown rice result in a lowered risk. These foods release sugar at a slower rate into the bloodstream.
Natural Alternatives to Support Healthy Insulin Balance
Several key nutrients and
herbs— packed into the Circ Elation and Skin Elation oral and topical
formulas from Whitewing Labs—can help to balance the body’s insulin sensitivity
and support healthy circulation.
Use the nutrients found in both formulas if you suffer from any type of
circulatory discomfort including leg cramps and varicose veins.
In some cases of diabetes, Alpha-lipoic acid may be effective
against pain, tingling and numbness in the hands and feet. (In addition to taking a
supplement, be sure to consume rich food sources such as carrots, yams, beets, and
spinach.)
Chromium deficiency is widespread; up to 90% of Americans are deficient. Very recently a study published in the journal Diabetes (1997;46:1786-91) showed that regular supplementation with the form of chromium found in Circ Elation improved several biochemical markers. Fasting serum glucose scores for a two hour glucose tolerance test were significantly lower in supplemented patients than in control subjects. An added bonus in this study was that cholesterol levels also markedly declined! Chromium supplements may improve uptake of glucose to your cells where it can be metabolized to produce energy. Chromium is found in whole grains or brewer’s yeast.
Vitamin C enhances capillary strength which improves blood flow. Dietary sources of vitamin C include leafy greens, broccoli, peppers, oranges and grapefruit.
Get Checked, Eat Right, Use Circ Elation
and Skin Elation
There is no question that
knowledge is your best defense when it comes to diabetes. So at your next medical
appointment, have your doctor test you for diabetes. Be sure to eat right, get some
exercise and use both Circ Elation and Skin Elation Cream on a daily
basis, especially if you have diabetes or have risk factors or early symptoms, or if you
suffer other types of circulatory problems. These formulas may truly help. The only fear
is that of not knowing.
Order Circ Elation and Skin Elation Cream separately or
together in the Circulation Package from the order form in the center of this
Journal.
