so what is the big deal about diabetes

anyway okay so what you have high blood

glucose what damage is that going to do

for your body

well there’s really only four tiny

tissues in the body that can be affected

by this high sugar and if you can

actually get rid of these complications

you really wouldn’t feel uh that bad

from even having diabetes so it’s like

having high blood glucose but without

any major symptoms okay so I’m going to

show you how to get rid of those

complications and then if you want to

get rid of the cause of this problem you

can do that too but today I’m going to

show you five different vitamins that

can get rid of the complications of

diabetes all right so you have this high

blood glucose what four tissues does it

affect well it affects the eyes Okay it

affects

arteries that go through your heart and

other organs it affects the nervous

system including the brain

and it affects the kidney okay other

than that it doesn’t really affect

anything else now what can it do to the

eyes well it affects the retina now

that’s the main uh nerve tissue that

extends outside the brain and it’s

picking up information and springing

into the brain so you can actually see

if you don’t get rid of the

complications from diabetes related to

the eye you could go blind okay you can

also have macular degeneration you can

also get cataracts you can even get

glaucoma you can have a lot of problems

with the eye the next problem is the

vascular system the artery okay you have

this layer it’s called the endothelial

layer inside the arteries it’s highly

susceptible to high blood glucose and so

the complication of diabetes is

plaquing and clots okay which obstructs

blood flow to the heart muscle or it can

actually obstruct blood flow to your

brain so if you have high blood glucose

flowing through your arteries in your

brain that can lead to Dementia or even

Alzheimer’s and or Parkinson’s or other

types of degenerative brain problems but

also not just the nerves in your brain

also the nerves in the rest of your body

too like the bottom nerves on your feet

you can get what’s called peripheral

neuropathy where you have this numbness

or tingling or burning in the bottom of

your feet it can happen in the hands and

the fingertips it also can affect your

digestion it can affect the autonomic

nervous system it can create you know a

lot of issues and the last body tissue

that this high blood glucose affects is

kidney tissue okay high blood glucose

diabetes is the number one cause of

end-stage renal failure okay so it

really destroys the kidney now what is

the kidney kidney is really a filter for

your blood and all this blood and the

sugar goes through it and it just rusts

out the kidney filters now when we say

complications from high sugar

what actually does that mean like for

example when you combine high sugar in

your blood okay your red blood cells you

have hemoglobin that’s the protein when

you combine high sugar with that you get

this condition called glycation okay

glycation is the combination of sugar

and protein and it gets all stuck and

sticky and it makes that tissue

um non-functional okay and this is what

A1C is it’s basically a number that

represents glycated hemoglobin which is

hemoglobin that is damaged and it’s on a

scale so you can tell how bad the

diabetes is it goes in a scale it should

be low but if it’s high you can equate

that to a certain amount of sugar

flowing through your bloodstream and so

one reason I like A1C is it gives you an

average of blood sugars for a period of

like three months so it’s better than

just a One-Shot assessment because

you’re looking at an average and you can

kind of see overall what’s happening so

that’s what glycation is the common

nation of sugar or carbs that turn into

sugar and protein and you can also get

this from eating foods that combine

sugar with protein and are heated like

for example let’s take barbecued ribs

right that would be an example or for

example if you’re eating like um I don’t

know a hamburger from McDonald’s and you

have the bun on it right you have to

there’s a there’s carb sugar and protein

and then you have a Coke right then you

have fries but see fries have very

little protein it’s mainly carbohydrate

and fat so you can also get glycation if

you combine sugar with a fat okay as in

french fries or a donut where you’re

deep frying it especially ice cream okay

because you have all the sugar and fat

and there is some protein in there but

you’re just getting major glycation when

you consume that so when this glycation

occurs and it builds up it builds up

into something called

advanced

glycation

end products okay and the more of that

that you have kind of stuck in the

tissues the more complications you’re

going to have because with that comes a

lot of free radical damage inflammation

and something called oxidative stress

which is just a lot of oxidation and

it’s like your body is rusting out and

these tissues are becoming unavailable

to you and so these four tissues the eye

the nerve and brain

the arteries of the heart and other

parts of the body and the kidney are the

tissues that can accumulate more of

these Advanced glycation and products

than other tissues and the acronym is a

g e s like an age so when you think

glycation you can just think you’re

going to age very quickly you’re going

to get older very quickly because it’s

going to make these tissues very old and

damaged now what’s interesting about

this there are natural things that can

inhibit this glycation okay so let’s say

for example you don’t even change your

diet right but you want to get rid of

the complications for diabetes this is

what you should do there actually is

five vitamins you could take to help you

that can act as antioxidants okay and

they’re pretty potent the first one and

most important one is

type of B1 vitamin called benphotamine

okay benphotamine has been known to help

clear up these complications especially

with like peripheral neuropathy but also

with other tissues of the eye and I’m

not saying it’s going to clear up damage

that you had in the past but it could

definitely reduce the complications and

the ongoing damage that occurs with high

blood glucose so benphotamine that’s

that’s B1 that’s the first one number

two is Vitamin C okay it’s a very potent

antioxidant you probably already know

that it’s very very good for the inside

of your heart but also in other tissues

as well when you take a vitamin C I

would highly recommend that you get a

food base vitamin C complex not just a

synthetic version of the vitamin C as in

ascorbic acid okay there’s a big

difference

the next one is vitamin D vitamin D is a

very important vitamin it’s probably one

of the most important vitamins but it

too can act to counter this glycation in

a big way and then the fourth one is

vitamin E vitamin E and I’m in the form

of tocotranols anytime you take vitamin

E I would recommend you take that in a

form that’s tocotrino’s not the

tocopherols okay not that thecopherols

aren’t good tocotrenals just work a lot

better and then when you buy a vitamin

that’s a tocotrino I would get the

tocotrino mix or complex but without

these tocopherols because they tend to

compete okay so vitamin E very important

to reduce glycation and the last vitamin

is vitamin B6 B6 can also reduce this

glycation so that is your five vitamins

now there are other things too that can

improve glycation like alpha lipoic acid

okay that’s a good one like the

phytonutrient in green tea it’s called e

g c g like aged garlic that’s another

good one and bitter melon and quercetin

and curcumin and there’s many many

others as well if you have a very

nutrient dense salad with micro greens

for example you’re going to get a lot of

great things in those plants to help

counter glycation okay because you want

antioxidants now fasting both

intermittent fasting and regular

periodic prolonged fasting okay can

greatly improve this glycation by

causing this condition called autophagy

autophagy is

not a thing it’s a condition that occurs

it’s like the recycling of old damaged

proteins okay and that’s what glycation

really is all about is it damages these

proteins and it becomes unavailable so

when you have autophagy from Fast you

can go in there and clean all that up

this is why you feel so much better and

you have neurological brain improvements

heart improvements immune improvements

blood sugar improvements and the list

goes on and on and on and then exercise

exercise can also reduce glycation okay

so that’s all about the complications if

you want to correct the deeper problem

you have to fix the diet okay and the

way to do that is to get on the healthy

version

of the ketogenic diet mixed with

intermittent fasting if you don’t have a

plan for that you should definitely
