so someone had a question they wanted to know is it possible to reverse the damage from diabetes okay so in this video I’m going to talk about how to do that and yes it’s totally possible to do that so the first thing to know is what’s causing the damage okay so I’m going to introduce you to a new term that you may have not heard before and the pronunciation is glycosylation okay this is a condition where you’re taking sugar molecule and you’re bonding it to a protein molecule now when you combine sugar to protein in a certain environment you render that protein unavailable to the body okay because it creates a permanent bond but not only that you make certain proteins pathogenic okay let me explain now you’ve heard about good cholesterol and bad cholesterol right you have a so-called good cholesterol is HDL and the bad cholesterol is LDL now those are not really cholesterol particles what they are are cargo ships they’re transporters low-density lipoprotein or kind of their proteins they have cholesterol in them they also have triglycerides but the LDL itself is a lipoprotein so it can carry the cholesterol through the blood an LDL itself being the so called bad cholesterol is not really bad unless you expose it to a lot of sugar okay because you’re going to create this effect where you’re going to bond the sugar to the protein and make it pathogenic it’s going to stick to your arteries so there’s one more new term I want to give you called AG ease advanced glycation end-products okay these are proteins that are sticky and they clog things up and they they block blood flow to the nervous system in other parts of the body but the ag’s are the end product of having this high sugar with the combination of certain proteins now hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen through the blood now one of the ways that doctors look at diabetes is through this a1c test okay but what this will show you is the amount of exposure to this protein okay and it’s on a scale you want it low you don’t want it high but that’s one of the ways that they look at diabetes through this task a see then you have neuropathies okay these are situations where you have nerve damage it usually shows up in the peripheral nerves first and the bottom of your toes are the fingertips they go numb they have burning tingling what’s happening is these sticky protein sugar molecules are blocking the blood vessels to the nervous system killing off those nerves and then we have problems inside the artery walls and we have problems with glucose saturating the lens of the eye causing cataracts glucose creating problems in the protein in the circulation that goes to the retina causing diabetic retinopathy which is one a leading cause of blindness with diabetes and also glaucoma and many other different problems with the eye your connective tissue because it’s a protein becomes affected for example you have this facha or this sheath of connective tissue underneath the foot called the plantar fascia and you can develop what’s called plantar fasciitis which basically that fascia is contracting and it’s causing a lot of pain and you can even see this in a diabetic where their arch starts going higher and higher and higher because that fashion is contracting then you actually end up with a hammertoe and a lot of feet problems not to mention infections because the food for bacteria is sugar so when you increase the sugar it’s a perfect environment for bacteria to grow fungus to grow yeast to grow and this is why diabetics have a lot of infections also you see a higher incidence of getting toenail fungus with diabetics because of this sugar feeding the fungus there’s another condition called gastroparesis what is that that’s a situation where your digestive system is just really sluggish and you’re not processing food that quickly that has to do with the damaged vagus nerve because with diabetes the nervous system is one of the big targets so you’ll have problems with the brain the nervous system the kidney the vascular system and the eye all right so now that you have some data on how the tissues of the body get damaged from diabetes the question is how do you reverse it well number one you have to lower the sugar what is diabetes it’s a condition of high sugar okay so you must get the sugar out of the diet you cannot reverse diabetes unless you do that and that would be a low carb diet okay and we’re talking healthy keto of course also the other thing that will do it is doing intermittent fasting those two combined are very effective for stopping the damage because that will also decrease your blood sugar and force your body to run on fat fuel okay so that’s number one the problem is that the damage that’s already in your body is irreversible so we have to give it time for those tissues to regenerate and replace themselves okay and that could take three to four months for a lot of tissues but some can take a lot longer especially if it’s part of the nervous system because the nerves only grow by one millimeter per day okay that’s not very that’s not very fast so it could take several years to get those nerves back however there are some things that can speed up the process there’s two main nutrients that I’m going to recommend that have been known to have great success with this one is simple vitamin b1 but in a form that is a little different than the water-soluble b1 you want the fat soluble B one it’s called benzo to me I’ll put the word in the spelling down below so you can actually identify it and I would recommend taking higher amounts of that okay four capsules a day because it is fat soluble it can go into the nervous system into the fat layer around the nerves called the myelin sheath a lot better it actually absorbs into the brain 25 times better than the regular b1 so this is a really important one the next remedy is called alpha lipoic acid okay I would recommend taking 600 milligrams three times a day that’s a lot but that’s what you’re going to need to start to speed up the reversal of this damage but it all starts with changing your diet you must get the sugar out of the diet go on a low-carb do in a minute fasting alright thanks for watching so if you’re enjoying this content go ahead and share it with someone that could really benefit from it
