Fructose and Sucrose for the Diabetic...



A basic meaning of homeo-natropathic medicine is the support of the organism's ability to heal itself; the essence of allopathy is that the physician fights "a disease" to cure the patient, e.g., by cutting out tumors or killing germs. 



1950's sugar ad's
Diabetes has been named the sugar disease, and whilst excessive amounts of circulating glucose in the blood IS toxic, should we really be pin pointing out sugar? It could be like blaming the firefighter for causing the fire, every time a fire occurs its normal to see 'firefighters' at the scene, but no one ever accuses them for causing the fire. 
Sugar, just like cholesterol, just might be going through a period of industry backed BRO-science, and though we see extreme episodes of hypo/hyperglycaemia, blood sugar disregulation, pronounced estrogenic features, a thrashed metabolism and poor energy production (ATP) in the diabetic, maybe its worth considering whats inhibiting its (glucose) oxidation at the cell level and evidently preventing the sugar hungry mitochondria from thriving... 


The decrease in blood sugar stimulates the formation of many hormones, including estrogen  prolaxtine, adrenaline, cortisol and under the influence of cortisol both sugar and fat are produced by the breakdown of proteins, including those already forming the tissues of the body. At the same time, adrenalin and several other hormones are causing free fatty acids to appear in the blood. Estrogen and stress are both known to create some of the conditions of diabetes, while increasing fat oxidation and inhibiting glucose oxidation in the cell. Estrogen increases circulating free fatty acids and decreases glycogen storage, and with birth control pills becoming popular, some researchers warn that they might cause diabetes via estrogen exposure. But the food oil industry and the estrogen industry are satisfied with the medical doctrine that diabetes is caused by eating too much sugar. Emotional stress, overwork, trauma, poor sleep and infections have been known to initiate diabetes also.


It seems consistent to say that from personal-clinical based observations and linking to the literature, the common issue amongst most diabetics is the prolonged exposure to STRESS... Now that is one broad term, so to be specific-ish, the stress imposed from consumption of UNsaturated fats, lack of sunlight and loss of mental/spiritual guidance within society. 

Again what do you see from these stressors... The unsaturated vegetable fats (veg oil, nuts, seeds, pork, legumes, soya, white flour etc..) linoleic and linolenic acid and the long chain fish oils, have excitatory, stress promoting effects, that shift metabolism away from the oxidation of glucose blocking its ability to get into the cell leading to an eventual inability for insulin to direct glucose into the cell, a hyothyroid state and finally destroying the respiratory metabolism altogether. 
Its often been tooted that "you need your OMEGA's", your "essential" fatty acids are "essential" (duh).. But once again we can see from just looking intelligently where this hype came from, that the "essential" fats and fish oils you so religiously ingest, are in actual fact just waste products from industries (just like whey from the dairy) and the use of 'fish oil', sunflower, flaxseed and cottonseed oil has been for years used in paint varnish and gloss. 
Studies on animals have shown that when you make animals “deficient” in the unsaturated vegetable oils, this protects them against “autoimmune” diabetes, and against a variety of other “immunological” challenges. The “essential fatty acid” deficiency increases the oxidation of glucose, as it increases the metabolic rate generally.  



Saturated fats (coconut oil/butter) improve the insulin-secreting response to glucose.


The protective effects of sugar from tropical fruits, root veggies and coconut cane and the harmful effects of excessive (unsaturated) fat metabolism, are now being widely recognized, in every field of physiology. 


So why don't we begin evaluating levels of cortisol, adrenaline, glucagon, prolaxtin etc.. which show to be the real problem (as they increase blood sugar whilst preventing glucose from getting into the cell), in the diabetic... rather than just blaming sugar.

  1. Coming from 'the other side' of physiology, this is fascinating stuff, and exceptionally well written. Looking forward to reading more :-)
