Diabetics and Hypoglycemia

What is Diabetes?

There are a number of different types of diabetes. All of these have different causes (and treatments) but everyone with diabetes has one thing in common: the body has little or no ability to move sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream into cells. This means that the body's cells cannot get hold of their primary fuel source - glucose - and the blood glucose level rises.

Blood glucose levels are usually controlled by the hormone insulin. Insulin helps cells to take glucose out of the bloodstream and use it for energy. Problems with the production or the action of insulin cause diabetes.

The main feature of all types of diabetes then, is a high blood glucose level. This causes the symptoms of diabetes and is used to diagnose the condition.

Seven Essentials which contains RiSoTriene also contains the nutrients your cells need on a daily basis and includes over 106 antioxidants. Helps with stabilizing and lowering blood sugar levels. Helps with production/use of insulin in the body.

What is in Seven Essentials that helps people with Diabetes?

Almost 95% of disease (including Diabetes/Hypoglycemia) has some sort of malnutrition at its root. Basically, Seven Essentials, with Risotriene, helps your body help itself. It is giving your body the right tools for the job... Over the years, people have started to believe that insulin injections and/or oral medications were the only way to fight diabetes and high blood sugar. As Seven Essentials has proven over and over, that is simply not the case. Where even the most extreme cases of diabetes existed, Seven Essentials was able to cut a persons medication (including insulin) down 50% and in many other cases, down 100%!!! Seven Essentials is unique in that it helps your body help itself.


How do I start taking Seven Essentials if I am a Diabetic?

Seven Essentials. which contains RiSoTriene®, should be taken with every meal - before, during or right after. START with one level teaspoon 6 times per day. Take one teaspoon each time you eat or snack (or replace your snacking with one teaspoon) and take a teaspoon at bedtime. Some people benefit from a teaspoon in the middle of the night. Our goal is to slowly work up to a minimum of 4 tablespoons per day. Try adding small amounts in conjunction with your blood sugar levels to determine what works best for you.


Why don't I see Seven Essentials in health food stores and why isn't it offered as an alternative to insulin or other medications?

This question is simply answered. Because Seven Essentials is such a powerful food, including over 100 vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals, it wouldn't be profitable for health food stores to carry it. If every person knew that Seven Essentials could potentially replace one hundred bottles of vitamins, they would only buy Seven Essentials. As hard as it is to believe, health food stores still have to make a profit to run and therefore need to sell you as much as they can. If Seven Essentials was on their shelves, nothing else would be bought. The producers of insulin and other diabetic medications would simply go out of business and therefore isn't popular with these companies.


Is it really possible to prevent and reverse diabetes?

The answer is yes. In many studies done by private labs as well as our own, the results show that in almost all of the patients, the risk for getting any form of diabetes went down a full 92%! Not only is that amazing in itself, but of the patients that had diabetes (some insulin dependant, some for over 10 years), 92% were able to lower their medication and insulin intake. In some cases, patients were able to completely rid themselves of all medications!

**Seven Essentials contains Biotin which is an important anti-oxidant that works with insulin in glucose utilization. It also contains Chromium which affects sugar metabolism.

Rice Bran Lowers Diabetic Blood Sugar

April 10, 2002 -- Diabetics may have a new weapon to help them lower their blood sugar levels. Rice bran was able to lower blood glucose by up to 30% in a small group of patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes participating in a pilot study.

Researchers report that one out of four diabetics taking part in the 57-subject study were able to reduce their daily injection of insulin or medication dosages after adding stabilized rice bran to their diets for just two months. The findings were reported in the March issue of the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.

'These are preliminary findings, and they need to be duplicated in a larger group of patients taking rice bran as a nutritional supplement for longer periods,' says lead researcher Asaf A. Qureshi, PhD. 'But in this study, rice bran proved to be very good at lowering blood glucose levels.'

Qureshi and colleagues at Advanced Medical Research in Madison, Wis., also found that patients with elevated cholesterol who consumed 20 grams per day of stabilized rice bran lowered their total serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels between 5% and 15%.

But the diabetes research is the first human trial to offer scientific evidence of rice bran's benefit. Studies have shown that eating a high-fiber diet lowers blood sugar levels, but the water-soluble rice bran that worked best in the study was not high in fiber.

Nutritionist Barbara Levine, RD, PhD, agrees that larger trials are needed to confirm the study's findings. But she says that the promising early findings are intriguing. Levine is director of the Human Nutrition Program at New York's Rockefeller University.

Levine cited findings from the ongoing Framingham Heart Study showing that obese people with type 2 diabetes have a 99% chance of developing heart disease. The CDC now estimates that 35 million Americans have diabetes.
