Chapter 2 - INSIDIOUS & SILENT KILLER
The symptoms of diabetes - thirst, hunger and frequent urination - go unrecognized by the individual too often.
It has been the author's experience that too many practitioners still do not recognize or give credence to the fact
that hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) is a precursor to full-blown diabetes.
Having seen literally thousands of patients with the unmistakable pathology of hypoglycemia, one used to be
amazed when the patient had recently seen a general practitioner and presented with exactly the same symptoms,
was told, " don't worry about it - just eat some sugar when you have the symptoms."
Some foods are poison!
Hypoglycemia is a sort of "Catch 22" situation where insulin over-counteracts high blood-sugar levels, leading to
low blood sugar - with consequent cravings for more sugar. This is hyperinsulinism!
In other words, the patient experiences mild to significant episodes of rebounds from consuming too many high
glycemic foods with consequent overreaction of the pancreas in controlling the elevated blood sugar.
Here are just a few of more than one hundred associated symptoms of hypoglycemia:
- Craving for simple sugars. (Mostly foods derived from white flour, white rice, and sugar or glucose
including syrups.)
- Lack of Energy
- Confusion
- Anxiety
- Panic Attack
- Nervousness
- Depression
- Fatigue
Hypoglycemia increases the craving for alcohol thus increasing the risk of alcohol dependency and abuse.
Some female readers will be well aware of the correlation of some of the above symptoms premenstrually and will
recall the cravings for chocolate or other sugar-rich sweets.
As a matter of interest, one was employed for some years as a "Medical Detailer" by a leading pharmaceutical
company specializing in diabetes management. We learned, as early as 1960, that it could be established from a
female’s first menstrual period whether or not she would later succumb to diabetes mellitus. This was
ascertained from her blood glucose level at that time.
This means that there is a very real correlation between carbohydrate metabolism and PMS. I believe that one may
also claim the moral right to researching and developing the first nutritional supplement for PMS and, perhaps,
giving the first lecture at university level (Sydney May 1982) on PMS.
If you have any of the symptoms associated with those listed, and particularly if you suffer midafternoon fatigue,
cravings for sweets, bread or cereal grains, see your doctor and request at least a four hour glucose tolerance test.
The above is taken from Chapter 2 in the book "Truth About Diabetes".

Chapter 3 - Cardiovascular Risk Factors
It is with the cardiovascular system that we are likely to have the most serious and lifethreatening risk factors.
This is mostly due to a cellular deficiency of essential nutrients; vitamins, minerals and amino acids etc - the
flavonoids, - of which there are several varieties, all of which are most important for the integrity of the
cardiovascular system.
The most serious risk factors apply to the neurological system, the renal (kidney) system and the ocular (eyes)
system.
When these conditions occur, they go under the medical terminology of:
- Neuropathy: Any ailment of the peripheral nervous system, usually causing numbness. Neuritis is a
condition of inflammation of a nerve.
- Nephropathy: Any pathological condition of the nephrons of the kidney
- Retinopathy: Usually defined as a non-inflammatory and hereditary condition of the retina of the eyes.
Diabetics are prone to retinopathy known as diabetic retinopathy.
Probably the major contributing determinants (cause) are a diet that high in carbohydrates and low in vitamin C,
bioflavonoids, vitamin E, vitamin B1, B5 and B6 as well as the essential macro and micro minerals, especially
chromium, magnesium, selenium and zinc.
A lack of appropriate exercise - add unmanaged stress - and that is the recipe.
There are, of course, differing types of carbohydrates - all derived from the plant kingdom. Those most familiar in
our daily dietary intake are cereal grains, bread, pasta, vegetables and fruit.
All vary in their sugar (glucose, maltose etc) content, and it is this substance - the simple sugars – that, in my
experience, pose the greatest single threat to health in our society. Many books have been written by nutritional
scientists before this about the detrimental effects of the simple sugars.
The Diabetes Association now allows up to seven teaspoons of sugar per day because of the sugar (sucrose)
having a relatively moderate glycemic index.
Herein lies an obvious lack of awareness of cellular nutrition.
Broadly speaking, I refer here to all foods made from white flour, sugar and white rice. These have insufficient
nutrients in their make-up to facilitate their own digestion. This means precious endogenous stores of nutrients
must be “robbed” for the digestion of useless and dangerous foods.
Importantly, most of these refined foods are high on the Glycemic Index along with just about all cereals and, even,
wholemeal and whole grain breads.
True, non-artificially colored wholegrain breads have recently been shown to actually lower blood glucose levels.
However, one must postulate the actual nutrient loss in the consumption of whole rather than mashed grains,
most of which may pass through the digestive tract without adding one iota of anything.
Unfortunately, there are also commonly consumed vegetables - staple to our diet - which are also high on the
Glycemic Index and, therefore, a potential health hazard. Foremost of these are the potato and carrot, especially
when baked, and the refined carbohydrates.
More of this, later.
Green vegetables, legumes, beans some nuts and most seeds are low glycemic and essential to good health.
FRUIT
It is with the fruits that we need to concentrate at present.
Bioflavonoids are a natural component of fruits and other plant life.
Bioflavonoids are also found in a wide variety of dietary and herbal supplements. However, in Nature,
Bioflavonoids are bound to carbohydrates e.g. Glucose, Galactose, Glucorhamnose, Rhamnose and Arabinose
as Glycosides and are collectively known as Flavonglycosides.
During intestinal absorption, the free Bioflavonoid is split off and released from the carbohydrate. Our commonest
source is as an integral part of all citrus fruit. As a vitamin, most Bioflavonoids protect and enhance the action of
Vitamin C and increase the absorption and bioavailability of orally administered Vitamin C.
The renowned navigator and explorer Captain James Cook recognized the value of citrus fruits in the prevention of
scurvy. It is recorded that he never lost a seaman to scurvy after making the ingestion of citrus fruit (limes)
mandatory on a regular basis.
The year before Captain Cook introduced this form of functional medicine, ten thousand British sailors died of the
dreaded disease in the English Channel alone. It is the author’s clinical experience that sub-clinical scurvy is
epidemic in our society.
Do not ever rely on store-purchased citrus fruits for you vitamin C intake. They are picked almost green and
therefore deficient in this master nutrient. The same may be said for tomatoes.
Berry Good for You
Professor Jack Masquelier (Professor Emeritus) of University of Bordeaux France is recognized for his significant
contribution to our knowledge of flavonoids with his discovery of the even more powerful flavonoids OPC (oligmer
of proanthocyanin).
Masquelier patented the original as Pycnogenol (OPC). Similar forms are found in the bark of the Maritime Pine
tree, red and black grape skins and seeds and the red husk of peanuts. OPC has an antioxidant effect 20 times
stronger than vitamin C and 50 times more than vitamin E.
The healing effect of the anthocyanins on sprains, bruises, venous stasis and other forms of
microangiopermeability has to be experienced to be believed. This is where it is essential for all diabetics in
particular, and for all of our species generally, to obtain regular amounts in our dietary intake or to otherwise
supplement. Black and red grapes, skins and seeds and blueberries are ideal sources.
Due to a deficiency or increased need for Bioflavonoids, diabetes mellitus can cause microangiopermeability
(leaking Capillaries), especially in the eyes, kidneys and lower limbs.
Eyes/Vision: Diabetes Mellitus patients have a 3 to 4 times higher risk of developing cataracts compared to the
general population and diabetes mellitus patients are at greater risk of developing retinopathy (Diabetic
Retinopathy). This is where the capillaries 'leak' within the retina of eye itself or in those capillaries supplying blood
to the retina. A similar effect may be seen in the sclera (white) of the eye following trauma. The best illustration is
what we know as a "black eye”.
It may be pertinent to recall that, a few years back, medical research predicted a rise of some 600% in the
incidence of cataracts in the general population due to climatic changes.
Because of its effect on the immune system, diabetes mellitus patients are more prone to infections.
In the area of metabolism, diabetes mellitus can cause a state of acidosis.
Persons afflicted with diabetes mellitus may not be able to manufacture the enzyme known as Delta-6-Desaturase
enzyme and, because of this, they are unable to convert Linoleic Acid (LA) to Gamma- Linolenic Acid (GLA), which
is an Essential (Omega 6) and extremely important Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (found as the main ingredient in
evening Primrose oil) which is, in turn, critical to every one of the sixty or so trillion cells in the human body.
Diabetes Mellitus is a common cause of fatigue and, because diabetes interferes with Vitamin A absorption,
diabetics are unable to convert beta carotene (provitamin A) to vitamin A, as is normal when we eat certain
vegetables including carrot.
Musculoskeletal System
As the blood supply becomes increasingly compromised both in flow and lacking in essential nutrients, especially
the Bioflavonoids, vitamins C and E, so the diabetic succumbs all too often to gangrene, which is referred to as
diabetic gangrene the result of atherosclerosis and associated conditions.
The work of the two Canadian cardiologists Bill and Evan Shute is of interest - ridiculed for decades by their peers
in medicine because they claimed, with great validity, that Vitamin E in appropriate dosage would prevent second
heart attacks and effectively halt gangrene (to the extent that toes, so affected, would self-amputate) due to
oxygenation of tissue as a result of Vitamin E supplementation.
Of course, today, this is well accepted. In the meantime, countless thousands have suffered unnecessarily and,
yes, died at the expense of the arrogance and lack of awareness of some members of the medical profession
who castigated the Brothers Shute for so many years.
Or is it simply that natural substances cannot be patented and one does not need a doctor's prescription to obtain
them?
Even twenty years ago, very few pharmacies stocked nutritional supplements. Today they mostly are stocking them
because they represent the premium growth rate of pharmacy products.
Unfortunately, it is my experience that the majority are more interested in the profit than the potential preventive and
therapeutic properties.
Persons afflicted with diabetes mellitus are also more prone to plantar ulcers.
Nervous System
Persons afflicted with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of depression, due to insulin's probable role in the
prevention of depression. Neuralgia can occur as a side effect of diabetes mellitus as can neuropathy. Oxidation
and free radicals greatly accelerate the rate of crosslinking of the body's endogenous proteins with glucose - this
accelerated cross-linking is responsible for the majority of the complications associated with diabetes.
Sexual System - Female
Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of vaginitis, i.e., inflammation of the vaginal wall in the female.
Folic Acid
Probably the major contributing determinants (cause) are a diet high in carbohydrates and low in
vitamin C, bioflavonoids, vitamin E, vitamin B1, B5, folic acid and B6. Plus the essential macro
and micro minerals, especially chromium, magnesium, selenium and zinc.
