getting started and what helps

I have a friend from when I lived close to Seattle, who is just barely a year older than I am and the last I heard she is in the hospital and she's giving up the fight.
Just last year I felt that sick, I was diabetic, and all my systems were getting compromised one after another, I was so fat there were a lot of things I needed help doing like tying my shoes and some other even more embarrassing help. I hurt so bad and felt so awful all the time, my blood sugar levels were way outta control I could barely sleep and I had no energy. I ate like the oinker I resembled. After working hard to lose weight and get fitter I've lowered my blood sugar levels to rock bottom. I'm in control of my eating, exercising, I no longer live to eat but eat to live.

My diet currently is not that exciting but it is mostly adequate, I still get hungry, to keep my weight down and hopefully lose more? But the truly exciting thing is I'm feeling so much better, I'm busily making clothes and taking in or giving away all the horribly huge things I have in my closet, See as I was so fat I quit caring what I looked like and I chose my clothing, not for style, but simply if they were big enough to hide at least some of the rolls. I can tie my shoes pretty easily now, and my feet aren't nearly as swollen, I have energy and more importantly I have my ambition back, To explain... I not only have the ability to get things done, but have the 'want to' also.

A great side effect of getting well and having a future again is that I'm just happy,
for me this is really something because a big part of my problem is that I've always struggled with deep depression. I was bi-polar also so I know the difference between the euphoria of the high part of the disease and just happy. God delivered me from the bi-polar part.

I started taking CellPower™
, and my weight loss and better eating BEFORE the doctors got a hold of me.

Some of the things I've learned while doing this journal:

~Cinnamon really lowers the blood sugar, but you need to take a lot of it.
~taking liver cleanses really help the diabetic person get control of blood glucose.
~Glutathione-the master antioxidant is a great helper to counteract many diabetic complications.
~4 essential minerals for diabetics
~SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
~coconut oil


for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight
~Essential fatty acidsfor better health
~FLAX SEED OIL

I've also learned not to eat ANY MSG it puts weight on, seriously! Or any /high Fructose Corn syrup, it also makes the extra poundage gather at the waist.

Mostly though the CellPower™ has given me the power boost towards great health. It properly adjusts the body pH, fights viruses,bacteria, and fungi,helps lower blood pressure, adds enzymes to the body lost from cooking foods. It can help with:Allergies pH imbalances Emphysema Indigestion Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Kidney infections Chronic fatigue syndrome Skin disorders Bronchial asthma Arthritis and joint pain Short-term memory loss Fibromyalgia Viral, fungal, and bacterial infections Muscle pain Candidiasis, and for me it HAS!

HEALING DIABETES~GETTING STARTED-GETTING WELL

When I was a child I remember hearing about Diabetes and being terrified that I'd 'catch' it because of the two things I believed about it.

First> It was a death sentance, it would be with me until I died which would happen pretty soon.

Second>I'd have to give myself shots which I knew I could never do.

Then I lived my life like I was going to live forever. In fact I ate drank and made merry like there was no tomorrow, and guess what, there wasn't. This all caught up to me when I hit about 40 and I was on the downward slide from there. I began with getting Hemorrhoids so bad they bled and HURT; still I stayed on my meat diet, I ate meat and some starchy stuff. Lots of sweets, in fact just last year I bought a huge box of chocolates from Norway to eat all by myself! I didn't like fruits or most vegetables so I ignored them.

Hi, my name is Barbara Jean Bailey and I'm a diabetic. It's not like I didn't know much about Nutrition, in fact it was something I'd studied for many many years, I'd buy the Rodale books and read them cover to cover. I was always the one at parties with the 'arcane' knowledge for bee stings relief from your kitchen cupboard. In fact I had an arsenal of information at my fingertips on exactly which minerals or vitamins to take for which maladies. I guess I figured the knowledge was enough, and because I was so-armed I'd stay healthy.

But I didn't, as I said I started the down that slippery slope to death when I was 40. I ate all the cheese I wanted even with the awful constipation I had that precipitated the hemorrhoids. I ate meat, meat and more meat, lots of potatoes and other fattening foods. No, I'll never be a vegetarian.

When I was right around 48 I found out I had diabetes, but I absolutely refused to believe it so I spent the next several years walking around with abnormal blood sugar readings, getting fatter and since I was now also post-menopausal the weight just accumulated, I was getting sicker ; still eating, drinking and being merry. I suddenly acquired a bad case of bronchitis and often I would spend weeks unable to get much sleep, but hey by this time I found sleep was elusive anyway, I was losing brain power, I felt like Charly in Flowers for Algernon.

I knew I was getting dumber but I am getting older and so what...By this time I was 55 and dying for sure. I thought briefly about getting well using my 'knowledge' of natural healing, but; my oh my, that would take so long. I went to see a doctor, finally, he informed me that I would have to take insulin and eat right for the rest of my life. Oh NO! no more chocolate binges? No more nachos? No more Pizzas eaten until the pieces were cold? No more day after day just sitting watching TV and vegging out? I had to exercise? I had to give myself shots? I had to quit eating all my favorites until my stomach nearly burst? There's got to be a better way. I started reading on the net, I bought Robert O. Young's book "The pH Miracle for Weight Loss", and Richard K. Bernstein's book, "The Diabetes Diet". I also got Julian M. Whittaker's book "Reversing Diabetes". All are available on Amazon.com.

My doctor and later the education nurse taught me how to do my blood sugar readings to give appropriate amounts of insulin at the right times. I'd already seen that the diabetic pills were dangerous and I'd have to do the insulin shots but I certainly did not want to accept the death sentence of "Diabetes". I began by reading Bernstein's book and Whittaker's book and started dieting and exercising.

I bought supplements I found recommended on the 'net, took minerals and omega-3's and omega-6's, Diabetic formulas [see these on the column on the right.] And slowly lost weight and brought my diabetes under control, but still I HAD diabetes, and I WANT IT GONE!

In reading Robert O. Young's literature I found that a sick body is an acidic body, an acidic body is a sick body so how can I make it alkaline instead. I ate mountains of broccoli, but I just love meat [an acid food] so what am I going to do? I got an email from Burt Goulding at Positive Power Nutrition, he recommended a product called cellpower[tm].

As soon as I started to take cellpower I noticed a big difference, I had lots of energy, I was able to sleep, my ability to think clearly was coming back, I'd already lost some weight but it still kept coming off. I felt better every day.

I started telling my friends and selling it to them, then I decided it was time to tell the whole world that this product really does work and will help heal people from all sorts of problems, anything related to an acidic body, including cancer and inflammatory diseases, it's really helping with my diabetes, which, even though I'm not on a diabetic diet any more is keeping it controlled to where even after a meal my blood glucose levels are not all that high. I used to have glucose levels of close to 400, now I'm down to below 140 consistently.

I want to tell the whole world that due to poor life-style choices the diseases they have can be controlled even reversed.

I'm still on a nominal amount of insulin note the name of the blog "Healing Diabetes", but my goal is to be insulin free by Christmas. I know with God's help I will be. I eat a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables, but I avoid all processed foods, High Fructose corn Syrup, trans fats, MSG, Genetically modified foods, sugary things and the microwave. My PH is nearly normal and the occasional slip of having popcorn and cocoa in the evenings doesn't affect my health. Stay tuned as I learn how to do this reporting thing and get back to robust good health.
