What does the colon do?

In short, the colon eliminates solid waste from the body. After the nutrients from the food you eat are absorbed through the small intestine and distributed via the liver into the bloodstream, the “leftovers” move into the large intestine, or colon, where they are eliminated when you go to the bathroom.

Problems arise when wastes accumulate in rather than exit the colon, causing constipation, bloating, and/or a condition known as systemic intoxication or poisoning. Systemic intoxication can lead to cognitive difficulties such as confusion, and even emotional problems such as depression and irritability. Some sources suggest that allergic “attacks” of hives, sneezing, and coughing are due to systemic intoxication. Accumulated waste in the colon has been implicated in cancer, diverticulitis, and nutrient deficiencies. It’s easy to see how home colon cleansing can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle  Read more...

Diabetes and hypertension are major health threats to individuals throughout the entire world. The World Health Organization has declared that the largest number of diabetics in the world will be located in India.

At this time there are over 17 million individuals who have diabetes in the United States alone. Screening for these two particular disorders are large factors in the early prevention and treatment of illnesses that often results in significant negative medical complications.

In some cases diabetes is not found until the sufferer experiences a complication or it is found during a routine screening blood test. However, because of recent media attention and increased education of the middle-aged population, more individuals recognize the signs and symptoms of this progressive disease.

If the disease is not recognized until the latter stages then significant damage can have been done to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart muscle. These complications are costly financially, emotionally and relationally.  Read more...

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that afflicts 5% of the worlds population. Diabetics face significant long-term disabilities and complications if they dont keep their blood glucose under control. Because of the need to diagnose, treat and control this chronic condition researchers have discovered several short term and long term methods of monitoring blood sugar as well as testing for the condition.

Some physicians follow specific recommendations to test for diabetes in their general patient population. Those who are over 45 and obese should be tested and those younger than 45 and obese should be considered.

Doctors will use several different tests, combine the results of those tests, and determine if a person has diabetes. The first, and simplest test is the fasting blood sugar test. A small blood sample will be taken at the lab after the patient has had nothing to eat or drink after midnight. Normal blood sugar is between 70-110; considered borderline to 135 and high over 140.  Read more...

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects the regulation of glucose in the blood stream and the use of glucose in the cells for energy. Without glucose the metabolic process of providing energy changes and the body begins to burn fat and protein for which insulin, the primary hormone regulating glucose metabolism, isn’t required.

There are two types of Diabetes – Type 1 and Type 2 – but it is only in Type 2 diabetes that there is some warning, or pre-diabetes, that the condition is imminent. In Type 2 diabetes the individual often has some pre-disposing factors and possibility also some genetic factors. The process is generally gradual and occurs when the cells of the body become resistant to the insulin that is being produced. In other words, the body continues to produce insulin, in greater and greater amounts, but the cells no longer are able to utilize it.  Read more...

Gestational diabetes is the medical term used to describe diabetes mellitus that presents during pregnancy and disappears after the baby has been delivered. The American Diabetes Association estimates that approximately 4% of women who are pregnant will develop gestational diabetes. This condition requires very specialized care for the remainder of the pregnancy in order to protect the health of both the mother and child.

During pregnancy some women develop a resistance to insulin that results in gestational diabetes. Insulin is the hormone that draws sugar from the bloodstream into the cells where it is burned to supply energy at the cellular level. Without the sugar the body is forced to burn fat for fuel that has a significant negative effect on both the mother and baby. The extra sugar in the bloodstream also causes complications in the health of the mother.  Read more...
