Insulin Protocol

Constantly work to allow your body to produce the absolute minimum of Insulin. The level of insulin sensitivity of the cell is one of the most important markers of lifespan.

 "What if you were to learn that every day, 25 percent of your calories came from a poison, disguised as a food? And what if you discovered that this chemical imposter was responsible for your insulin resistance and weight gain? And elevated blood pressure. And elevated triglycerides and LDL. And depletion of vitamins and minerals. And even gout, heart disease and liver damage? What if you were to discover that this toxic substance had been dumped into your food in gradually increasing quantities for the last thirty years, with the full knowledge and blessings of the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, the USDA and the FDA?      Doctor Robert H. Lustig MD  UCSF        Start of series, NOTE You MUST watch this, This video will help you kick the deadly sugar habit, Please start your anti-excess insulin program by eliminating sugar/HFCS from your diet 

"Researchers were studying the effects of common foods on blood sugar. They noticed that when the subjects ate apple pie… their blood sugar levels actually improved.  The researchers were stunned. They looked into it and found it was due to a common ingredient. You probably already have it in your kitchen. Turns out to be cinnamon!  Tests done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirm this ingredient’s ability to lower blood sugar. They found it increases your body’s glucose metabolism by almost 20 times.”    Doctor Al Sears MD

“When blood insulin levels drop the patient experiences an almost automatic weight loss.”

“Weight loss in Type 2 diabetics induces a dramatic increase in insulin sensitivity. A weight loss of 20% produces an increase of more than double in insulin sensitivity.”

“High serum insulin is associated with abnormal obesity, atherosclerosis and impotence.” Aversa et al

“NAC exerts a beneficial insulin effect by preserving beta cell function.” Kaneto et al 1999 in Diabetes

“Numerous animal studies show animals fed diets deficient in enzymes have an enlarged pancreas.” Doctor Edward Howell

“A 10 year study showed that hyperinsulinemia was associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, independent of other risk factors.”  NIH 1985

“A sedentary lifestyle encourages weight gain and worsens syndrome x. Physical fitness increases cellular glucose responsiveness and decreases the amount of insulin excreted after a carbohydrate load.” Challem et al

“Over consumption of high Glycemic Index foods leading to a high level of insulin can produce a high level of inflammatory arachidonic acid.” Kreisberg et al

“Many centenarians are smokers. They come from all over the world without  favoring any geographic location in particular. However, there are 3 consistent blood metabolic indicators of all centenarians that are relatively consistent: low sugar, low triglyceride, and low insulin. All three are relatively low for their age. Among these three variables, insulin is the common denominator. The level of insulin sensitivity of the cell is one of the most important markers of lifespan.” Doctor Michael Lam MD

“When you take a high carbohydrate diet such as pasta, the carbohydrate changes into sugar inside our body. Our blood sugar goes up quickly. The body does not welcome this rush. It panics. The pancreas is immediately signaled to release insulin in order to facilitate the movement of sugar away from the blood stream into the cell, thereby lowering the blood sugar. This reaction is a back up plan for something that should not happen too often in our body, as our body was never designed to process sugar in large quantities in a short time. The pancreas tries to do its best to lower sugar through the release of the hormone insulin. But it generally overcompensates and secretes more than we need at times, especially when the pancreas is chronically stressed.  The result - your blood sugar goes down excessively.” Doctor Michael Lam MD

“Citrus peel extract reduced serum triglycerides and cholesterol levels in hamsters; the results suggest that a daily supplement of citrus peel extract could improve insulin sensitivity in people.” Li et al

“It is thought the negative effects of sugar result from the elevation of insulin levels and the competition with vitamin C for metabolism transport sites.” Mann

”Replacing fats with carbs may be fine for some individuals but for those who are insulin resistant it is a grievous even fatal mistake.” Reaven et al 2000, Note it’s not a great idea for most of us either.

“HFCS represents an important but not well-appreciated dietary change which has rapidly become an important causative factor in the development of the metabolic syndrome that clearly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Other research suggests that HFCS contributes to obesity and insulin resistance, encourages kidney stone formation, promotes gout and is contributing to an upsurge in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.” Life Extension

“The more efficient your insulin metabolism the more muscle you can build.” Doctor Ronald Klatz

“By and large most nonhuman mammals are spared HBP, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and similar conditions collectively referred to as “the diseases of civilization”.”  Howard & Payne, Note be an animal at least in part

“Only about 3% of Americans actually act on the information they know.” Howard & Payne, Note this cannot be YOU

“As compared to those with normal insulin levels individuals with a consistently elevated insulin level, had a 36 fold increase in the prevalence of obesity.” Bao et al 1996

“In a Dutch study caffeine decreased insulin sensitivity by 15%, if insulin sensitivity is a problem or if type 2 diabetes is evidenced, zero caffeine consumption is a wholly worthy gesture.” Life Extension

“Cinnamon appears to enhance the ability of fat cells to respond to insulin and increase glucose removal.” Hodge 2000

“The cell has a self-protecting mechanism in place. It has an internal braking mechanism. This is a protective function to avoid the toxic effects of high insulin and high sugar.  The cell is trying to close itself from the entry of sugar and glycogen. In other words, the cells, when flooded with insulin chronically, start to down-regulate themselves and start shutting itself off from responding to insulin. Their receptor activities and the number of receptors decrease so they don't have to deal with the undesirable insulin effect. Instead of following insulin's instruction to allow sugar into the cell, they refuse to listen to insulin's command and keep the sugar out. In this state, the blood insulin level is high as the pancreas is on an overdrive to produce more insulin. The blood sugar level is also high as the cells refuse the entry of sugar. This state is called insulin resistance.” Doctor Michael Lam MD, Note take the time to understand this completely and you will stop eating sugar. Here is the key to sugar diabetes

"Insulin resistance is a dangerous condition. Research suggests that adipose tissue (fat) is a source of pro-inflammatory chemicals that have a role in the development of insulin resistance (Sharma AM et al 2005)." Life Extension, Note you MUST get rid of your spare tire! All kinds of bad things are being cooked up in there.

"If you focus on just a few hormones insulin, thyroid, sex hormones, melatonin, growth and cortisol all the rest come into balance." Doctor Mark Hyman

"Two groups with insulin resistance were fed identical diets except one group got their carbs from wheat, oats and potatoes; the other from rye. After twelve weeks fat biopsies showed in the wheat group sixty-two genes that promote inflammation, produce stress molecules and hormones that promote insulin resistance and obesity were "turned on"; in the rye group seventy-one genes that improve insulin function and prevent cell death were 'turned on'." Doctor Mark Hyman MD

"For cancer, insulin is like pouring gasoline on a fire." Pamela Goodwin, director Marvelle Koffler Breast Center, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto

"Changes to diet and nutritional lifestyle must be implemented, to achieve a better balance of protein and natural unprocessed fats, and a much lower intake of carbohydrates. This requires less consumption of processed foods that contain trans fats and oxidized fats." Doctor Brian Peskin PhD

"Most people don’t understand the importance of optimizing their insulin levels, as insulin is without a doubt THE major accelerant of aging. Fortunately, you can go a long way toward keeping your insulin levels healthy by reducing or eliminating grains and sugars from your diet. It is also crucial to include a comprehensive exercise program as that is another lifestyle choice that will radically improve the sensitivity of your insulin receptors and help to optimize your insulin levels."   Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

“A recent study in the Journal of Medicinal Foods shows that chlorella increases insulin sensitivity, while reducing body fat and blood sugar.”   Doctor Al Sears MD

Get to Know YOUR Insulin

Insulin is an important hormone produced in the beta cells of your pancreas. Insulin plays a vital role in your body’s metabolism and your blood sugar. Your task is to understand this process at least at the big picture level. This will help you with your diet and exercise planning.

YOUR Insulin Process is designed for the WAY we USED to eat

"When sugars and starches are eaten in their natural unrefined form, as part of a meal containing nourishing fats and protein they are digested slowly end enter the bloodstream at a  moderate rate over a period of several hours. But when we consume refined sugars and starches particularly alone, without fats or protein they enter the blood stream in a rush, causing a sudden increase in blood sugar. the body's  regulation mechanism kicks into high gear. flooding eh bloodstream with insulin and other hormones to bring blood sugar levels down to acceptable levels."   Sally Fallon

The Insulin process was designed by your body to handle a FEW simple carbs and NO refined SUGAR. Our SAD forces our poor Insulin to process LOTS of simple carbs and LOTS of sugar. This is not good. Even at two or three percent of your calories sugar represents a threat to your insulin mechanism. The average person is ingesting twenty five percent of his calories as sugar. This does not count the many tens of percent he ingests as high glycemic foods which are near sugar. We see the result of this assault on our poor insulin mechanism, a disaster of monumental proportions as our children as young as 10 and 12 fall victim to sugar diabetes.

You have to protect your Insulin from simple carbs, sugars and grains. IMO YOUR control over your insulin production is one of the most important aspects of YOUR health. The average person eats 25% of his calories as sugar in its thousands of forms, add in the other simple carbs and you have a disaster for your poor insulin. You cannot afford to be an average eater.

Our Modern Diet has our Bodies working at Cross Purposes

"Studies show a diet high in soluble fiber causes the body to produce more insulin receptor sites. More insulin gets into the cell and is removed from the blood where it can cause problems."   Prevention

"Chapter 2 of Dr. Lee's book deals with the fallout of such a grain-heavy, sugar-heavy diet on the American public. For Life Extension® readers, this takes us to a common culprit when it comes to diabetes, obesity, and the metabolic syndrome: insulin resistance. In this chapter, there is no sugarcoating it. Dr. Lee clearly states that, "Insulin resistance can cause belly fat, dementia, loss of memory, depression, autoimmune disease, strokes, infertility, neurodegenerative brain disease, and—it is directly related to the one thing that will most likely kill you—heart disease."   Your Best Investment - Secrets To A Healthy Body And Mind

As we chronically eat sugar and simple carbs our cells become more resistant to the effects of too much insulin and blood sugar which damages them. As your cells become increasingly insulin resistant, your body compensates by secreting more insulin in an attempt to drive more blood sugar into your muscle and liver cells. You with your over consumption of sugar and simple carbs have set up a battle between your cells trying to protect themselves from too much insulin and your insulin trying to dispose of the excess glucose in its blood and thus protect your body.

Great 2 Hour Discussion about Muscles, Training and Related Topics

You will LOOSE This Battle

“Over consumption of high Glycemic Index foods leading to a high level of insulin can produce a high level of inflammatory arachidonic acid.”    Kreisberg et al

You will lose this battle no matter how it comes out. The only way to win is for YOU to STOP EATING THE SUGAR and simple carbs and thus preventing the battle. Once you allow your insulin to resume its designed role most of your diabetes and other insulin problems will vanish like the bad dream they are. Remember once you give your body a fighting chance it will stride towards good health 24x7. While YOU sleep your body will be repairing the years of damage you have forced onto your poor body with sugar and its deadly brethren. How is that for not holding a grudge.
