Working WITH Your Medical Doctor
Posted by: | CommentsI am questioned by patients, colleagues, and other professionals if I work with their medical doctor. I want to make this point very clear. This is NOT a Lone Ranger approach to your health. I work with your medical doctor with the management of your disease. You must be taking the medication you have been prescribed and you must continue that medication until your medical doctor can safely take you off your medication. Any recommendation for treatment or change of any treatment while under my supervision is backed up with a lab test. This is paramount to success in each patient’s treatment.
Results with this approach to treating Type 2 Diabetes speak for itself. I had a follow up visit with a patient this morning that after only being under my care for less than 45 days had his glucose drop 80 points and his A1C drop 3 whole points, from a 10.0 to a 7.0! He is well on his way to reversing his diabetes. Needless to say, he is thrilled with his results thus far.

The Brain-The 5th Organ That Controls Your Blood Sugar Levels
Posted by: | CommentsIf you’ve read previous blog posts, you may have already learned that there are 4 organs that control your blood sugar levels, those are: the Thyroid, the Liver, the Adrenal Glands, and the Pancreas. I want to reveal to you in this article that there is a 5th organ…the Brain.
It goes without saying that the Brian is the Orchestra Conductor of our bodies. If oversees and regulates our body’s digestion, detoxification, respiration….and the list can go on and on.
Some people with Type 2 Diabetes, the Brain Function needs to be addressed as well. There are many “feedback” loops from the brain to the body that can be interrupted or malfunctioning.
We’ve all heard the expression, “I just had a gut feeling”….and this expression is physiologically correct. Your brain and your gut communicate.
Many common symptoms Diabetics experience is described as “Brian Fog,” depression, anxiety, and the inability to think clearly or remember simple things. These may all be indications that your Brain, more than likely, is involved in your body’s inability to control your blood sugar. The medical approach to these problems is to prescribe drug blockers, enhancers, or suppressors that never address the underlying CAUSE to the problem.
The first step in finding out if the Brain is part of this vicious cycle is through thorough testing and then supporting the chemical pathway or organ that is not functioning correctly. Once function is improved, the body will naturally work more efficiently and produce the ultimate outcome of lowering the blood sugar levels.

Type 2 Diabetes and Health Insurance in America…the God’s Honest Truth
Posted by: | Comments“Will my health insurance pay for this?” This is a common question that I am asked when I meet with patients. My answer to this is…”your health insurance is currently doing the best it will ever do for this disease.” That’s when a patient will look down to the list of 4,5, 12 and sometimes over 20 medications that they are on…and that list continues to grow.
The unfortunate reality is that health insurance as we know it, will continue to get worse in this country, not better. You can look at the trends that health insurance has taken…higher deductibles, restrictions of treatment, and more and more restriction and…less and less coverage. Health insurance companies in the United States are a FOR PROFIT industry who hold a responsibility to its shareholders, more so than the people they insure…and that’s the God’s honest truth.
If you want to lower and get control of your blood sugar, this is a responsibility you must take head on and not rely on your health insurance to save you. If you do, you will die due to your Type 2 Diabetes.
If you are reading this and you are the one who has Type 2 Diabetes or your loved one has Type 2 Diabetes, think of that person in a burning house…what would you do to get that person out? I would guess that most of you would say, “ANYTHING!” That is the type of urgency and action needed to beat and reverse Type 2 Diabetes. Reversing Type 2 Diabetes is possible. If you are committed, I can help show you the way.

Six Diabetic Misconceptions (Part 2)
Posted by: | Comments4. All Doctors Know How To Treat Type II Diabetes
There’s a saying that goes something like this…
Hammers hit nails… M.D.’s prescribe medication…
Expecting a different approach from your medical doctor will only lead to disappointment. That’s why I wrote this guide – to help type II diabetic sufferers just like you.
Before we go any further, let me stress to you that there is a place for medication, but more importantly, the cause of the problem must be identified because the wrong diagnosis = the wrong therapy.
And, if your medication fails you’ll probably get even stronger medications where the side effects may be even more harmful to your health.
Since none of the treatments your doctor may be giving you are meant to actually correct the true cause of your problem, logic says your diabetes will only get worse. You’ll continue to be given more and more drugs until one day your diabetes gets to a point where you need insulin, unless you are already at this dreaded stage.
5. The Only Organ In The Body That Is Involved In Sugar Regulation Is Your Pancreas
This is probably the most serious misconception. Sure your pancreas is an important organ in the regulation of blood sugar, but there are other organs that need to be evaluated in order for proper therapy to be applied.
The four main organs that play a role in regulation of blood sugar and therefore play a role in your diabetes are: Your Liver, Pancreas, Adrenal Glands, and Thyroid. When was the last time your doctor evaluated these organs or ran the appropriate tests to find out if they are impacting your disease?
6. Blood Tests Need To Be Monitored Only 2 Times Per Year
This is very dangerous. Let’s think about this logically for just a minute. If you are taking medications that are supposed to heal the body from diabetes, then wouldn’t it make sense that you monitor the blood tests more regularly?
In my opinion the answer to that question is YES! You must monitor your bio-chemistry about every 45 days to make sure things are going in the right direction. To make sure that the body is healing and moving in the right direction. To make sure adjustments to therapy are being made when necessary.
Most of my diabetic patients were lucky if they were being evaluated by their doctors once per year before they started seeing me.
Is Your Doctor Doing Everything Possible For Your Condition Leaving No Stones Un-Turned?
If you answer “No” then it is likely your doctor is a road block to you reclaiming your health and living a life that you deserve. At the very least he or she is leaving stones unturned.

Six Diabetic Treatment Misconceptions (Part 1):
Posted by: | Comments1. Type II Diabetes Is Genetic
Could you have been born with a genetic fate to develop type II diabetes? Absolutely yes. However, this is just one factor. Your genetic predisposition or your “genotype” is just one factor in your future health profile it is not the only one. You can certainly have the genetic potential to develop type II diabetes, but other factors such as lifestyle choices, diet, exercise, ability to handle stress, etc. will determine whether or not you express that genetic potential.
This mis-understanding of the role of genetics has led the medical establishment to have a “give up attitude” towards the treatment of type II diabetes. “You’re mother and father have diabetes so it’s no surprise that you now have it.” This point of view is extremely dangerous because it limits your possibilities for treatment and healing.
2. Type II Diabetes Is Irreversible
It’s a death sentence of sorts…There is nothing that can be done short of managing the symptoms and complications of diabetes.
The people who beclieve it to be irreversible have given up on you… They have forgotten the innate wisdom of the body…That the body can and does heal itself if given the right tools and circumstances.
This point of view leads doctors to continually prescribe expensive and dangerous diabetic drugs…Not to mention all the high blood pressure and cholesterol lowering drugs…And when those all fail they will bombard your body with increasing levels of insulin.
3. Prescription Drugs Are The Cure All For Diabetes
If that were the case we would have found a “cure” by now. With all the money spent on diabetes “research” and drug therapy you would think you would be completely healed of diabetes by now.
One of the things that angers me and maybe you have had the same experience… Your doctor gives you a diagnosis of type II diabetes… gives you a prescription… tells you to change your diet and exercise then is gone in a flash on to the next patient.
Never spending the time with you to discuss how you might have gotten to this place in your life…
Never giving you any dietary or exercise advice. How are you supposed to know what to eat and what not to eat. You are not a doctor or an expert in nutrition.
You are left to your own devices. . . Sure you could do your research on the internet or read a book on the latest fad diet, but do you know how much conflicting dietary information is out there. GOOD LUCK trying to wade through all that information.
And what about exercise? What type of advice did you get there? Did you know there is a special exercise strategy for type II diabetics? Do you know what it is?
If you don’t then you are missing a critical piece of the puzzle…
You need a doctor who can bring it all together for you.
So that’s 3 of 6…stay tuned for “the rest of the story.”
