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
