Human clinical research from respected, peer-reviewed journals reveals that simple dietary changes–like eating sesame paste (tahini) daily–can have huge impacts on risk factors for common deadly diseases. Research studies have shown that sesame seeds are a SUPERFOOD! Food can be curative and may help us finally to put the “war against heart disease” (like the failed “war on cancer”) to rest. Think about it: drugs don’t “cure” disease any more than bullets cure war.
You probably have a natural “medicine” in your kitchen, but do you know how wonderful it is? Garlic can be a minor miracle for us, if we just remember to use it as much as we can. There’s nothing exotic about it, it can be found in all grocery stores, and it’s even easy to grow in your own yard. Let’s take a close look at garlic.*
The Anxiety and Depression Association of America tell us that more than 40 million Americans currently suffer from depression. We hope you are not included in that number! We have learned, however, that conditions like diabetes can make depression worse. If you feel that you might be suffering from depression, natural interventions can help, and we want to share some with. All the prescribed pharmaceutical drugs have toxic side effects, so let’s try to avoid them. Anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids help reduce chronic inflammation, which is a contributor to depression. You can boost your diet with flax seeds, nuts, and cold-water fatty fish like salmon and sardines. Even better, natural health experts suggest taking about 1,000 mg a day of omega-3-rich fish oil. Essential B vitamins produce “chemical messengers” known as neurotransmitters. One of these, serotonin, is essential for stable mood and restful sleep. Deficiencies can lead to mood disorders…
The Lancet Commission reports that dementia cases can be prevented or delayed by 40 percent with certain lifestyle changes, including midlife obesity, excessive alcohol intake, exposure to air pollution, depression, social isolation, high blood pressure, smoking, and a lack of physical activity. These are all things we can do something about, aren’t they? The Lancet Commission’s findings lead to a list of healthy behaviors and choices we can employ to reduce the risk of developing dementia. These are long-term lifestyle changes. Eating a healthy diet for only a month or exercising for only a few weeks will not significantly affect overall brain function. Dementia typically appears in one’s sixties or seventies, although it’s been known to arise as early as one’s thirties. Likewise, many of us become Type 2 diabetics in those same age ranges, don’t we? Changing an unhealthy lifestyle at any age is helpful in reducing the risk…
We all know two things for sure: (1) Sunlight makes our body product Vitamin D; and (2) too much sunlight is bad for us and might cause cancer. Haven’t we all heard that many times? But wait! Recent evidence suggests that sunlight may improve immune by boosting infection–fighting immune cells and discouraging the spread of pathogens in hospitals. A 2018 study, revised July 2020, indicates that sunlight exposure may have immunomodulatory effects and protect against infections, including acute respiratory infections such as influenza. It’s a long article, but well worth the read. You can download or just read a pdf format of the article at https://www.nber.org/papers/w24340. In addition, believe it or not, studies have shown that high levels of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposures are associated with lowered rates of allergies, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. While often acknowledged that these results are from increased vitamin D, researchers find that exposure…
Our friends at GreenMedInfo.com have posted information that we can all use. It’s about our eye health and what can make it better, and if we can boost our vision “from the inside out,” we certainly want to do that. We know that nutrition has proven to be our best defense against aging and its degenerative traits, and that includes eye health. These vital foods and supplements can help our eyes stay strong well into our golden years. 1. Ginkgo Biloba The ginkgo tree is one of the world’s oldest tree species, with the earliest leaf fossils dating from 270 million years ago! Its extract is derived from its leaves and has been used as traditional herbal medicine in China for hundreds of years. Ginkgo biloba is available as a tea, capsule, tablet, or tincture. The antioxidants found in ginkgo leaves are believed to improve eye health by boosting circulation…
Carol Ann Wilson Diabetes Relief added a service this year: the “antibody test” to determine if someone has already had COVID-19, the disease caused by the current Coronavirus. A friend of mine was one of our “positive” results, meaning that he had survived the disease and now possessed the antibodies for it. He gave me permission to tell you his story. We will call him “Greg.” I hope that this eyewitness, first-hand account will give you some insight into what the disease is like (at least for a young person, even though we older folks may need to be much more careful). Greg was a 23-year-old graduate student in an East Coast school during March 2020 when the U.S. outbreak hit. We had heard about the “Wuhan virus” in China, knew that it had been declared a worldwide pandemic, but we were still freely going about our day-to-day activities, not…
The stress hormone cortisol regulates your fight-flight-or-freeze response, and it also regulates your body’s use of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This is why stress can trigger the compulsion to reach for junk food. Research shows that calorie-dense foods trigger fat accumulation that inhibits your primary stress response system. So there’s nothing good about that late-night slice of cake or pie.
Diabetes Relief LLC is pleased to announce that Brian Loveridge, M.D., has been named its new Chief Medical Officer for the entire operation. Dr. Loveridge replaces Stanley T. Lewis, Jr., M.D., who has served Diabetes Relief so well since 2016 in developing its patented and patent-pending treatment for metabolic disorder. Dr. Lewis is named Senior Medical Advisor and will continue to serve on the company’s Medical Advisory Board as he is becoming more involved in international pursuits with his other medical and business interests. Dr. Loveridge will continue to serve as Medical Director for the Utah facility, and he will continue his very important work with Diabetes Relief’s training and educational sessions for licensees.
Through the efforts of Facility Manager Brandi Messerly, Diabetes Relief Utah Layton LLC has received the Davis Chamber of Commerce “Business Innovation Award” for 2020. At a banquet held on January 24, Dr. Brian Loveridge proudly accepted the award. Each year the Davis Chamber of Commerce presents its Annual Business Awards in several categories. For the “Innovation Award,” a business is judged on its effective use of innovation. The judging panel is interested in uncovering how technology, or other innovative techniques or practices, have made a difference in the company’s business and/or in the community.
We are very proud to announce that the United States Patent Office has issued our second patent on our treatment for metabolic disorder: United States Patent No. 10,533,990, “Physiologic Insulin-Sensitivity Improvement,” dated January 14, 2020. This is a “method” patent, which we add to our “kit” patent issued in 2017. Diabetes Relief still has a patent pending for a “system” patent, and the Patent Examiner is the same one who granted issuance of our first patent. Diabetes Relief is hopeful that this increased intellectual property will help us to reach more and more suffering patients through its many licensees in the USA and beyond. We have also received another copyright, this one for our updated “Glucose Homeostasis” information chart used in training sessions, bringing our total registered copyrights to four. With our trademark for “Diabetes Relief,” we are pleased to announce this growth in our collection of intellectual…
