1. Music: What ever gets you up and out of bed, with a hop in your step. Wake up, clap your hands and say "It’s going to be a great day". You have the power to choose what side of the bed you wake up on!
2. Oatmeal: Oatmeal contains a super metabolic enhancer called lecithin and tons of complex carbohydrates that gives you lasting energy and takes stress off your pancreas keeping insulin secretion low decreasing your risk of developing Type II diabetes. Stay away from oatmeal packs that are too sugary. I like Irish Steel Cut Oatmeal. It’s thick and tasty. Flavor your oatmeal with cinnamon and applesauce or almond butter.
3. Vision Board and Vision Statement: Make a placard of your goals and positive thoughts with pictures of the things you want most in life. Put it up on the wall of your room or in the bathroom so that you look at it and read it every morning. Having your goals along with positive energy served up at the start of your day will instill a subliminal consciousness that will drive you closer to the things and emotions you want.

So here's the skinny on Diabetes.  Medicine can't cure it! There is no physiological reason to give a type II diabetic (95% of all diabetes) insulin yet it happens every day.  1 out of every 3 Americans have this unnecessary condition.  It is the most easily preventable illness next to heart disease.  Every day I see it in my clinic and every day I see to it that it is controlled and for the most part cured without the use of pharmaceuticals.  Diet and exercise doesn't fail.  Drug companies have marketed so well over the past 50 years and created a subliminal feeling that diet and exercise can fail so that they can generated profits of 7.8 billion dollars a year.

Let's look at a diet schedule for diabetics that can dramatically change blood sugar levels and if combined with the correct supplements can allow the pancreas to regenerate and repair and return to it's innate abilities.

 Heart Disease Prevention

• Say no to smoking
• Limit chemical damage to blood vessels by stopping now

• Trim the unhealthy fat
• Protect your arteries by cutting meat, dairy fats, and foods containing trans fats out of your diet
• Take Fish Oils (Take Essential Blend 750 Advanced)

• Get to know tocotrienols
• Take 200 mg a day of these potent antioxidants to slow down the build-up of plaque in your arteries

• Take extra garlic
• 900 mg a day of standardized garlic powder can help slow down the process of hardening of the arteries

• Lower your homocysteine levels
• Reduce the blood levels of this potentially toxic substance by taking a daily B-vitamin combo containing folic acid (400 to 1,000 mcg), vitamin B12 (50 to 300 mcg), and vitamin B6 (10 to 50 mg)

Diabetes
