Is there a
Diabetes Natural Cure?

Anyone seeking a diabetes natural cure is advised to follow all of my 8 Natural Cure Tips while remaining in the care of a medical doctor.

Dr. James Chappell As a practicing natural doctor for 36 years, I have been asked over and over by my patients “Can you cure this disease, or that disease?”. Cancer and diabetes are the two most common. My mother had both of them. Her experience launched me on my search for a better approach - and better outcome - than the medical authorities had provided to her.

I have discovered that there are six herbs and a mineral that have been shown by scientific research to significantly improve sugar metabolism - so much so that diabetic patients have needed significantly less medication to manage their condition.

The herbs and mineral need to be taken every day, just like diabetes medication. There is evidence that they help to maintain healthy blood glucose levels - without side effects, and very inexpensively.

But this does not make them a "natural cure".

By law, only products that the Food and Drug Agency (FDA) determines to be "safe and effective" can be used to treat diseases. Before the FDA, the market was open to unscrupulous merchants selling useless and sometimes even dangerous products. However, it costs upwards of $500 million dollars to go through the FDA process. No one can spend that kind of money to prove the safety and efficacy of everyday herbs and minerals - and until the dollars are spent, no one can say that they are a cure for diabetes.

Meanwhile there is no evidence that these natural products have any harmful side effects and there is evidence suggesting they support healthy sugar metabolism.

As I have stated elsewhere on this site, a "natural cure" comes about as a result of a shift by you away from the behaviors and habits that got you sick in the first place, towards behaviors and habits that support your natural life force.

When you make that shift, your own nature can take care of you. The natural products I mention can support this shift - which is the whole purpose of this site. I know of no other way to radiant health.

About natural cures and disease...

I advise all of my patients that...

1. Diseases are the legal property of medical doctors. By law, only medical doctors are allowed to treat, prevent, or cure diseases. That's how they make their living, and that's how 17 cents of every dollar gets spent in the United States today. To date, they have not come up with a cure for diabetes.

2. I have seen first hand, time and time again, the ability of nature to restore health, even when the medical “authorities” had given up hope and issued death sentences based on their view of the progression of a given “disease”.

3. Diseases do not just “happen” to us. We are not their “victims”. You have tremendous power to affect and improve your health.

4. Diseases are not the issue. You are much better advised to focus on your health. When you focus on the things that build health and vitality, all kinds of shifts can occur to elevate your well-being, increase your longevity, and bring greater satisfaction to your life.




Diabetes Natural Cure - 2

The start of my search for a diabetes natural cure...

My mother, Connie Chappell was once a young, vivacious, energetic, fun-loving, beautiful woman. As far back as I can remember she was always struggling with her weight and health. I watched helplessly as she gradually became increasingly over-weight and sickly. She developed diabetes, a potentially devastating condition.

Although being overweight and having diabetes was challenging enough, it wasn’t until she was diagnosed with cancer that she began to understand how serious her health condition was becoming. She was literally overwhelmed by fear of dying, self-pity, anger, denial and helplessness.

But from obesity to diabetes to cancer, my mother never gave up hope of recovering and neither did I. At her deathbed, I made a promise that I would find the cause and eventual cure for her dreadful illness. Now, after almost twenty years of research and trial and error, I believe I have found the answer to all of the health conditions that plagued my sweet mother and led to her painful and untimely death. I have fulfilled my promise.

That’s why I wrote my book, “A Promise Kept, One Son’s Quest for the Cause and Cure of DIS-EASE.” Now I can share with you what I’ve learned about this condition called diabetes.

Are you at risk without knowing it?

The Centers for Disease Control estimates there are 41,000,000 Americans who are "pre-diabetic". Are you one of them? If you suspect you are, there are immediate steps you can take to ensure your continued good health.

Most of us eat rich foods that are high glycemic, which means their sugars are absorbed so rapidly they raise our blood sugar abruptly to higher levels. If we do this too often we may eventually fatigue the pancreas to the point where it becomes so sensitive it over-responds to even the slightest amount of sugar by secreting even more insulin. This, in turn, signals the liver to over-convert blood sugar into fat, leaving little to fuel the body’s needs for energy.

This cycle, if allowed to continue, can suppress the immune system and cause lethargy, fatigue, heart and kidney disease, poor circulation, cancer, and premature death.

Diabetes rates have been increasing substantially for the last 20 years. In 2005 there were about 20.8 million people with diabetes in the United States. According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 6.2 million people who have undiagnosed diabetes and don’t even know they have it! The Centers for Disease Control has termed the numbers “an epidemic.” One in three Americans born after 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime.

Why you should care...

Diabetes can cause many serious complications if the condition is not adequately controlled. These may include doubled-risk of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney failure, damage to eye retina (which can lead to blindness), nerve damage of several kinds, and micro-vascular damage, which may cause impotence and poor healing.

Poor healing of wounds, particularly of the feet, can lead to gangrene, which may require amputation. Adequate treatment of diabetes, as well as increased emphasis on blood pressure control and healthy lifestyle factors such as exercising, not smoking and keeping a healthy body weight, can significantly lower the risk of most complications.

In the developed world, diabetes is the most significant cause of adult blindness in the non-elderly, the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in adults, and diabetic nephropathy is the main illness requiring kidney dialysis in the United States.

These symptoms are likely to be absent if the blood sugar is only mildly elevated. Symptoms may develop quite rapidly (weeks or months) in Type 1 Diabetes, particularly in children. However, in Type 2 Diabetes the symptoms develop much more slowly and may be subtle or completely absent.

Your baby...

Type 1 - Childhood Onset Diabetes may cause a rapid yet significant weight loss (despite normal or even increased eating) and irreducible fatigue. All of these symptoms except weight loss can also manifest in Type 2 Diabetes in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled. About 5%–10% of diabetes cases in North America are Type 1, with the rest being Type 2.

Type 1 Diabetes has long been thought to be inherited through genes. But recent studies suggest that other factors may contribute to its development in infants.

Certain proteins have been found in cow’s milk that can cause the destruction of the insulin-secreting beta cells of the pancreas. These proteins can be mistaken for toxic invaders by the infant’s developing immune system which then secretes antibodies which seek out and destroy the insulin-producing beta cells of the infant’s pancreas.

Babies who were not given cow’s milk during the first 3 months of life developed 40% fewer cases of Type 1 Diabetes.

Babies who have been breast-fed for four months or longer, who have not been fed cow’s milk, are much less likely to develop Type 1 Diabetes.

What you can do...

Education, understanding, and participation are vital since the complications of diabetes are far less common and less severe in people who have learned to control their blood sugar levels by changing their lifestyle and eating habits.

Other health issues speed-up the undesired effects of diabetes. These include smoking, elevated cholesterol levels, obesity, high blood pressure, and lack of regular exercise. According to a study, women with high blood pressure have three times the risk of developing diabetes.

Anecdotal evidence indicates that some of those with symptoms of type 2 diabetes who exercise regularly, lose weight, and eat healthy diets can protect themselves from its getting out of control. Current medical wisdom asserts that diabetes cannot be cured, but it can be controlled by diligently being careful about what one eats and drinks, and by following the healthy lifestyle habits I’ve been describing.

Often people find they need less of their insulin medication because the body tends to have lower insulin requirements during and shortly following exercise. Diabetes’ classical symptoms are excessive urine production, excessive thirst and increased fluid intake, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss and lethargy.

Researchers from other parts of the world seeking a diabetes natural cure have found that a simple B vitamin, niacinamide (B3) can be more effective than the drugs currently being prescribed by physicians in halting the condition and may even reverse its effects at significantly lower cost and with no side effects. The recommended dose is 25 mg of niacinamide for every 2.2 lbs of body weight. For a 150 lb adult the recommended daily dose would be 1,700 mgs.
