Nutritional Tools for Diabetes

Summary

Although doctors are quick to prescribe medication to lower blood sugar, they often overlook the adverse side effects. While drugs may decrease blood sugar levels, they also increase the risk of heart disease, which is the cause of death for 75 percent of all diabetics. Dr. Julian Whitaker's experience over the past 25 years in treating thousands of patients with type 2 diabetes (and 9 percent of all diabetics are type 2) is that far safer, equally effective nutritional therapies can usually replace the need for drugs. In this informative audio program, Dr. Whitaker explains that regular exercise, a healthy diet (low-fat, minimal sugar and refined carbohydrates), and a good nutritional supplement program will go a long way toward preventing and treating type 2 diabetes. In addition, he talks about the herbs and minerals that help lower blood sugar levels, and he points out that a potent multivitamin and mineral with high amounts of antioxidants, B-complex vitamins, and magnesium is essential, as these nutrients protect against the complications of diabetes-which include vision loss, kidney disease, and lower extremity amputations. These very powerful nutritional therapies can protect diabetics against a lifetime of drugs and physical deterioration!
