Insulin is very important for our body. Insulin is the hormone that coverts sugar, starch, and other food into energy that we need for our daily activities. If our body does not produce or properly use insulin then we will have diabetes. In America alone there are now 23.6 million children and adults who have diabetes. 17.9 million of them have been diagnosed while 5.7 million of them have not. That is why it is very important to know about diabetes.
Diabetes has two major types. Type 1 diabetes is defined as the body's failure to produce insulin. It is estimated that there are 5-10% of Americans have type ! Diabetes. Type 2 diabetes on the other hand is defined as the failure of the body to properly use insulin coupled with relative insulin deficiency. More Americans are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Some minor types of diabetes are Gestational diabetes in which can happen to women immediately after a pregnancy. 5-10% of women with gestational diabetes have been found to have type 2 diabetes. There is also Pre-diabetes in where it is estimated that 57 million Americans have it apart from the already 3.6 million with diabetes. Pre-diabetes is defined as a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal.
Two modern alternative medication that can treat diabetes is Chelation therapy and Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Chelation therapy is the process of removing heavy metal toxicity out of the body through administering chelating agents such as EDTA. EDTA stands for ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, a synthetic amino acid that was first developed in Germany.
Though chelation therapy is more known to treat heavy metal poisoning from lead, mercury, plutonium, iron, uranium and organic poisoning. Chelation therapy can also treat Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy. Chelation therapy treats these three types of diabetes by increasing blood flow and removing toxins and heavy metals from the body.
Diabetes can also be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves pure oxygen that is breathed by the patient inside a hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions lasts for less than an hour and is very safe because it requires no surgery and can even be administered at home without the supervision of a doctor. Aside from diabetes, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also treat autism, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, head injuries, ADD/ADHD and Crohn's disease.
Hyperbaric chambers are very accessible since hyperbaric chambers are available for sale and for rent. They come in two sizes, the single and the double bag. Single bags fit only one person and can be operated solo. The double bags needs two people to be operated and fits two people.
Aside from the conventional medication that is also used to treat diabetes Now we have two more new ways to treat diabetes. Good luck and have a nice day!
