Vanadyl Sulfate and Diabetes
by Dr. Mark S. Johnson


Vanadyl sulfate is a form of the vanadium, a trace mineral. In Europe, vanadium is often used as a natural treatment for diabetes. Vanadium has been found in human studies to imitate the effects of insulin in our bodies. This ability may allow some of those with diabetes, a natural method to help lower blood sugar, taken less insulin or in some instances stop taking insulin altogether.

Vanadium is believed to assist in the transfer of sugar in the blood (glucose) into muscles, similar to the function of insulin. It is also believed to increase insulin sensitivity in the muscles. This is important to Type 2 diabetics especially, in that one factor in the development of diabetes can be insulin resistance.

This transfer of glucose into muscle tissue has also been touted by weightlifters and body builders. Vanadium allows the body to store more energy in the muscles,therefore decreasing the need for conversion to triglycerides for fat storage.

Diabetics should consult their physician prior to taking Vanadyl sulfate. They should also monitor their blood sugar regularly when taking a vanadyl supplement because of the potential to lower blood sugar and decrease insulin needs.

The effects of vanadium have been shown to last for weeks, even in the absence of further supplementation. Therefore it is suggested that it be taken in cycles. It is probably best to take vanadyl sulfate supplements for about three weeks and then discontinue their use for about three weeks. By utilizing this valuable adjunct to the treatment of diabetes in this manner a diabetic can improve sugar control and avoid any potential toxicity.

Cure Diabetes Naturally
by Arthur Nelson


Diabetes is currently the 3rd leading cause of death in America. In the United States alone, diabetes has been diagnosed in over 18 million people, and it is estimated another 15 million may not know they have it yet!

The truth about diabetes is that the body is incapable of producing, or properly using, the insulin necessary for the body to absorb glucose (sugar). The glucose then accumulates in the bloodstream until levels become dangerously high.

This condition then leads to diabetes symptoms like: restless sleep, lack of energy, unusual weight gain, blurred vision, and sometimes, tingling sensations in the affected individual.

The millions of Americans with symptoms of diabetes are taught how to test their blood glucose levels, possibly prescribed diabetes medication such as insulin, told to begin a diabetes diet, and their lifestyle is changed for the rest of their lives. Suddenly, controlling diabetes becomes their entire lifestyle.

But wait, there is some great news; diabetes can be cured, or at least, diabetes management can be attained with less diabetes medication for people diagnosed with type one diabetes and especially, type 2 diabetes.

There are certain supplements and herbs for diabetes treatment that alleviate many of diabetes symptoms.

These herbs and supplements are:

Cinnamon: proven to reduce the amount of insulin necessary for glucose metabolism by USDA research.

Gymnema Sylvestre: can lower blood sugar levels in both type one diabetes and diabetes type 2, as has been indicated in a Harvard Study.

Banaba: well known for its ability to lower blood sugar levels and transport glucose in the bloodstream, often referred to by many as 'botanical insulin.'

Bitter Melon: used extensively in other countries to improve glucose tolerance and for its regulative abilities. This herb is considered the best for diabetes management by the Philippines Department of Health.

Huckleberry: strengthens the immune system, balances digestion, and improves blood circulation in the hands and feet.

Chromium: shown in many studies to help cells respond to naturally produced insulin since the 1960s (currently it is estimated 90% of Americans are deficient in this vital nutrient).

Zinc: contributes many factors to diabetes control. Zinc is essential for the pancreas to produce insulin. When zinc levels are low, diabetes treatments are hindered due to the inability of the pancreas to produce the bodys own insulin. This may allow insulin receptor cells to become damaged.

Biotin: important B Vitamin for processing insulin. One study has shown that Type 1 diabetics receiving 16 mg. of Biotin for one week, cut their fasting glucose by 50%. A type 2 diabetes study showed similar results.

Conventional diabetes treatment only helps to control diabetes, thus, simply delaying the devastating affects. Without a diabetes cure, complications from diabetes can lead to nerve damage, kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, limb amputations, and even death! And lets not forget that diabetes prescriptions most often carry their own set of possible adverse side effects such as skin rash, weight gain, diarrhea, respiratory infections, headaches, and liver damage, just to name a few.
