Diabetes Herbal Remedies

Part 1

Please read this report whether you have just been diagnosed with diabetes or had it for a while or whether you have it under control or not because what you are about to read will literally change your life.

I urge you to think back to the time when you were diagnosed when the doctor requested to talk you in person by phone or in the clinic! At that moment your heart was racing anticipating not so good news. Then the doctor drops the big bomb and tells you that you have diabetes.

What did you feel at that moment?! Were there fear in your heart and eyes from what to come next? Did you fear for your life? Did you feel that “ Oh My God my life as I know it has changed for good”? Did you also think “So I now I have to be deprived of sweets and my favorite food…” How about “I don’t want to be on medications, shoot insulin and prick myself for the rest of my life…” kind of thinking.

Or maybe you had an immediate thought about a friend or a loved one who perished from diabetes prematurely after tremendous suffering from every debilitation in the book such as leg amputations, blindness, kidney failure, heart attack or a stroke; You may have thought “ these horrible debilitating blows will happen to me too. Oh my….! What devastating news the doctor has given me…”.

If you had these thoughts cross your mind at the time of diagnosis and thereafter then believe me, you are not alone. These thoughts have crossed the minds of all diabetics at one time or another and are legitimate and worrisome concerns.

The reasons for what lead to this diagnosis at his stage are far less important at this stage than how you will deal with this new situation from this point on.

Let’s take a look at how diabetes impacts us here in the USA and worldwide. This is quote from the book “Lifestyle Makeover for Diabetics”:

“Diabetes is a mushrooming disease of epidemic proportions in the U.S.A. and worldwide. It is becoming one of the largest medical challenges of the 21 st century. Pierre Lefebvre, President of the International Diabetes Federation, has been quoted saying: “As diabetes spreads across the globe, the world is heading for one of the biggest health catastrophes it has ever seen.”

“Diabetes affects a startling 247 million people worldwide and just 10 years ago there were 127 million diabetics, which is less than half the numbers today. In the U.S. more than 20.8 million have diabetes. According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes-related complications due to UNCONTROLLED diabetes cause more than 250,000 deaths in the U.S. annually, a staggering 75% of which are the result of debilitating strokes, heart and artery disease complications which are totally preventable . There are 54 million people in U.S. who are pre-diabetic (about to have diabetes) . Up to a whopping 73% of adult diabetics have high blood pressure and almost all have some form of cholesterol problem, which could lead to strokes, heart attacks and premature deaths if not brought under control and it can be.

UNCONTROLLED diabetes is the cause of over 45% of new cases of kidney failure and up to 70% of nerve damage called Neuropathy causing loss of sensation, pain and numbness in the hands and feet leading to amputations. UNCONTROLLED diabetes is the cause of over 60% of ALL leg and foot amputations, and also is the LEADING cause of blindness in people between the ages of 20 to 75.

This translates to new cases of over 100,000 leg amputations, over 44,000 cases of kidney failure and over 24,000 cases of blindness every single year. These numbers keep on climbing alarmingly.
