Diabetes Now! In One Generation We Went From 4 US States With Epidemic Levels! Now, All States In The Union Have Grown More Than 200%
HIGH BLOOD SUGAR IS AN INDICATION OF A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM
POPULAR UNDERSTANDING:
Diabetics do not make enough insulin or the body does not use all the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that assists the production of glucose (sugar) to be absorbed into cells and then converted to energy. The pancreas secretes enzymes that assist carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. When the pancreas is dysfunctional then digestive enzymes are not provided for digestion. The condition imbalances the liver, gall bladder, spleen and all digestive related organs. During uncontrolled diabetes, glucose and fats stay in the circulatory system, where in time, the principal digestive organs become damaged and finally diseased.
DIABETIC STATISTICS:
- Seventeen million Americans are walking around with diabetes, and 200,000 people will die this year due to related complications. Diabetes sets up conditions for heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, leg and foot amputations, pregnancy complications, and deaths related to flu and pneumonia. At risk, are the 5.9 million Americans who are unaware that they have the condition.
- We spend $100 Billion a year on diabetes, directly and indirectly. In 1997, the normal health care outlay for someone with diabetes was ,071, contrasted with ,699 for an individual without diabetes.
- U.S. adults with diabetes increased 49% from 1990 to 2000. Increases are expected in the next decade and beyond.
- Diabetes is an epidemic. In 1990, there were only 4 U.S. states determined to be at epidemic levels. In 1995, that number increased to 11. In 2000, there were only 6 states that were not at epidemic levels.
What happened to the other 44 states in 10 years? What is occuring in our country where a disease can over run us. Secretly, we are being plague by a force superior to any terrorist group. Is there anyone seeing what is truely happening? That’s more than 15 million plus people caught in the grips of this top level threat to our country. Where’s the equal level response by our government and medical establishment?
UNDERLYING CAUSATION
While insulin production and all the relevant symptoms in the body is a concern, to rest here and just declare the pancreas is the source of the ailment is not enough. Its a primary component but not the complete. Some other factors:
Diet & Elimination: While diet plays another primary role in the story, reducing protein, carbs and sugar, soundly, helps but there is more to the setting that needs to be acknowledged. The quality of our food is less nutritious. Our U.S. sources have depleted the soil quality. Rather than re-establishing our soil with our elimination similar to other long life zones, the U.S. drains its precious elimination down the sewage lines to the oceans. As a result we have to look to natural sources of foods and diabetic herbs.
Life stressors: Stress wears down the life force. Are we experiencing more strain than our parents? Hard to say. They survived World War II whereas we have been subjected to escalating undeclared wars, increasing amusement channels, artificially constructed anti-diseases,chemicals, taxes, etc. If, we try to live up to expectations and not restore ourselves (body, mind, spirit) then our adrenals-kidneys will become depleted which is the home of our vital energy production. The result is that all of our organs do not have the energy to sustain. Subsequently, body organs do not do their jobs and need to be restored not individually but systemically before further non-understood ailments surface.
Character: Our ability to interpret, positively or negatively, may have a lot to say about our ability to manage personal conflict. If we see things positively then our perceptions and response is that we are challenged and figure out solutions. When negative, then opportunities will be missed because we are strapped by fear. That high level of anxiety speeds up aging, perpetuates fear and opens the door to an unprotected immunity. We need to learn or relearn how find courage during stressful times. As we believe, we perceive, so shall our life follow.

Will You Miss This? Finally Arm Pain Exposed!
Arm pain can be very agonizing, amid numerous sets of tender to excruciating conditions (100), increasingly resulting in permanent joint injury, malformation and loss of flexability. Inflammation of extremity joints is characteristic of the disorder. Chronic pain, disability and death are unfortunate results.
Joint inflammation has an predictable incidence of 1 to 2%. Prevalence increases with age, approaching 5% in women over age 55. The typical annual frequency in the United States is about 70 per 100,000 per annum. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs two to three times more in women than in men. Although rheumatoid arthritis may present at any age, patients most commonly are first affected in the third to sixth decades.
Joint inflammation, collectively affect nearly 46 million adults and 300,000 children in the U.S. It is not selective. The condition can happen to anyone. All joint inflammation conditions impact the musculoskeletal system and specifically the joints - where two or more bones meet.
Joint inflammation problems include:
- pain
- stiffness
- inflammation
- damage to joint cartilage (the tough, smooth tissue that covers the ends of the bones, enabling them to glide against one another) and surrounding structures.
In these conditions, joint inflammation can cause damage to virtually any bodily organ or system, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, blood vessels and skin. Pain-associated conditions principally influence the muscles and the bones.
Joint inflammation and related conditions are a major cause of disability in the U.S, costing more than $124 billion per year such as:
- lost wages
- production
- millions of people lose their health, physical abilities and independence.
- growing toll on on the health system as people age
- reduced coverage by employer’s insurance
Arm Joint Inflammation - Underlying Cause & Relief
With graduating arm joint inflammation conditions, the majority of cases (90%) will be seen with cold sensations at the site of pain. 10% of cases are seen with hot to touch joints and related tissues. The primary appraoch in Chinese medicine is to counter the hot condition with cold methods to achieve a neutral state. This neutral zone relieves and corrects the tissues surrounding blockage in the channels. The opposite is true for cold conditions. Heat in the form of traditional Chinese herbs will alter the joint environment by establishing neutrality. Improved circulation and energy results in progressively removing toxicity (unflitered blood, de-oxygenated blood, unnatural tissue). The obstruction may be subtle to extreme in density but in all cases, to remove the barrier, herbal formulation needs to counter the underlying condition before the impediment can move on. Additionally, dietary recommendations would follow this same logic to support the corrective action.
Additional attention needs to be given to the general emotional state that may indirectly support the blockage. Particularly, the irrational beliefs that contribute to the person remaining in stressful states rather than relaxing as needed for recovery.Individuals focussed on their health understand their boundaries and support a restorative lifestyle.
Arm Relief from Traditional Chinese Herbs
This formula is a historical compound dating back over a thousand years. Since the initial primary formula has endured the long-term scrutiny there is no question regarding efficacy.
Benefits:
- Alleviates pain in the fingers, up the arms through the neck
- Restores natural feeling and muscle sensation
- Revitalizes the extremities with emphasis on the upper limbs
- Restores circulation, opening the capillaries supplying the absent nutrition
- By invigorating the circulation, cold and phlegm in the upper extremities is moved out.
- Harmonizes the transport of body fluid alleviating excess retained water.
- Evacuates pathogenic fluid in the vessels supporting shoulders and neck
- Eliminates joint inflammation complaints restoring normal movement
Joint Inflammation complaints in the upper extremities have been resolved, successfully, for millions of people over the last 300+ years in recorded Chinese history.
Though this pain formula improves the languid condition, Client’s condition is greatly supported when the infirmed change their life habits. The body’s natural state is to be healthy. The Creator has encoded within our body the miraculous capability of healing itself and we have a choice to be apart of the endeavor.
- Sleep (ideally): adults (10-6:30pm), adolescents (9:30-6:30pm), children 8:30-6:30pm
- Eating: Regular times, lower caloric content, adjusting as we get older depending on body type
- Exercise: Regular 3xs per week (1 hr.), adjusting rigor with age & health
When an individual can define their current constitution and then choose a strategy that balances their body type back to neutral and then achieve that center, the individual’s relief shines all over their being. Breath of life and a reasons to smile come back. Many of the alternative medicine strategies (Traditional Chinese Herbs) deserve further look for their simplicity yet effective results as is the case in this formula.

Will You Miss This? Finally Joint Pain Exposed!
JOINT INFLAMMATION is a very painful, with multiple sets of conditions (100), progressively leading to joint damage, deformity and loss of mobility. Extremity joint swelling is standard for this condition. Chronic pain, disability and death are unfortunate results.
Joint problems have a estimated probability of 1 - 2%. Prevalence increases with age, approaching 5% in women over age 55. The average annual incidence in the United States is about 70 per 100,000 annually. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs two to three times more in women than in men. Although rheumatoid arthritis may present at any age, patients most commonly are first affected in the third to sixth decades.
Joint inflammation, collectively affect nearly 46 million adults and 300,000 children in the U.S. It is not selective. The condition can happen to anyone. All arthritic conditions impact the musculoskeletal system and specifically the joints - where two or more bones meet.
Joint inflammation problems include:
- pain
- stiffness
- damage to joint cartilage (the tough, smooth tissue that covers the ends of the bones, enabling them to glide against one another) and surrounding structures.
HOW DO WE GET JOINT INFLAMMATION?
This condition involves obstruction of the blood due to hot-damp, drying and/or drying characteristics. The condition includes:
- cold or hot and painful joints
- difficulty in flexing and extending the joints
- aversion to cold or hot with attraction to the opposite condition
- In some cases the limbs and joints will be aching, numb, painful
- overall physical body feels heavy.
- tongue is pale or the opposite
There are graduating arthritic conditions where the site of pain and deformity are more intense, with heat or cold predominating, however, the primary appraoch is to get the obstruction to move. Health is re-established by countering imbalanced internal srtates of wind-cold/hot-damp/dry and altering external situations contributing to obstruction. Additional attention needs to be given to the general emotional state that may indirectly support the blockage.
HOW DO WE GET BETTER?
JOINT INFLAMMATION: FOOD THERAPY & HERBAL HERBS
“We are what we eat.” Most of us would agree that most conditions of imbalance are determined by what we put in our mouth. We unkowingly create imbalances by not being aware of how critical this area is, especially in the latter years.When we find out the supplements and foods weakens our essence and immunity then it would behove us to learn our constitution and which food that nourish balance. Below, you can begin to choose foods that deliver balance for this obstructive condition:
Foods That Benefit & Foods To Avoid
Foods to Counter Joint Pain: Asparagus, Cabbage (poultice & ingestion), Celery, Cod, Cherry, Chives, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic, Ginger, Goats milk, Grape, Kelp, Oranges, Papaya, Pineapple (Bromelain), Pumpkin Seeds, Royal Jelly, Scallions, Sesame oll, Spelt, Spirulina, Soy products, Strawberry, Sprouts (mung, red clover, radish, mustard, lentil, adzuki, garbanzo, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds), Tumeric, Water melon, Barley products, Wheat grass products, Alfalfa products (tablets, tea), Chlorophyll foods, Almonds (5-6 dy.),
Foods to Avoid: Excess meat (some fish is best), Excess protein, Intoxicants (alcohol, coffee, tobacco, marijuana, etc.), refined sugar and other sweets, Oxalic acid foods (rhubarb, cranberry, plum, chard, beet greens, spinach), Solanine foods (Nightshade family veggies: tomato, eggplant, bell pepper, potato, if sensitive), Dairy (cow’s milk & bi-products), Nuts, Nut butters, oil-rich seeds,
“When the heart is calm, pain seems negligible.” — Inner Classic
HERB FORMULAS FOR PAIN Formulas are created and rendered, taking into consideration, a person’s constitution, environment, life energy (qi), lifestyle and emotional status to name a few concerns. Traditional Chinese Herbs and medicine focuses on bringing all these areas into balance. The primary element is to make an herbal composition with specific emphasis on painful joints while correcting the underlying condition in the body without creating more physical problems.
Additionally, the quality of the herbs are not the same. If lesser quality is contained in a formula then the results will not hold up as indicated in research findings. While it may sound impressive to make marketing statements that a formula containing an herb is beneficial it is not enough. The quality of herbs are very important. Ginseng alone has more than 6 grades and each level provides a different result. Quality, alone, can determine whether the formula works or not. A seasoned herbologist does not skimp in this area, while many commercial manufacturing operations prefer profit when dealing with innocent distributers, who sell to wholesalers, retailers and then to you the consumer. This practice in America gives herbology and products a bad name. Employing herbal deficiency practices will gradually wear away customer trust so when true herbologists offer their services the challenge for customers to believe in our craft is hard.
JOINT INFLAMMATION takes time to develop and when the underlying cause is acknowleged then its possible to resolve rapidly. According to Traditional Chinese herbs and medicine, the primary problem underlying arthritis is obstruction with painful results. To varying degrees, liver and kidney depletion coupled with energy deficiency will result in exhaustion.
