Diabetes: Causes and Cures by Amandha Vollmer (ADV)
Video Overview
Correction for inside the video: In my attempt to simplify, I feel that I explained antigens improperly. Antigens are foreign substances that trigger antibody production in the body. Antigens can undergo post translational modification in the body. They can become auto-antigens that then destroy bodily tissue. ERAP 1 is an enzyme responsible to cleave many proteins (not just antigens) and it can lead to immune system memory, cell destruction and other problems in the body. Thank you for your patience with me!
The cause of diabetes is THICK, TOXIC blood. This is caused by toxins in lifestyles (vaccines, pesticides, etc.), diets (trans fats, sugar), stress and/or parasites as the root causes. Most of the diabetes that we are witnessing (about 90%) are Type 2, which is insulin resistance. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body has not made enough insulin, while Type 3 is a mixture of both types. Insulin’s job is to bring glucose into the cell so that it can be used as fuel. In Type 2 diabetes, the cell refuses to open to the incoming glucose. The type of sugar that is being offered is seen as a toxin by the cell and the cell says, “no thanks”, because it is trying to protect itself.
The brain also makes insulin (not just the pancreas) and it uses about 25% of the body’s insulin levels. People with diabetes are 50% more likely to develop Alzheimer’s Disease, as the brain cells are resistant to insulin; over time, plaques develop in the brain from chronic inflammation. Excess glucose (sugar) oxidizes and damages cells, which is therefore toxic in the blood.
In the 1930s we saw 1000% increase in this disease, a literal epidemic. During WW1 they created Crisco, which is a synthetic fat. This was the first clue that toxicity is the cause of diabetes. But guess what? White sugar & high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are also toxins to the body – they are pro-inflammatory and decrease immune function. Sugar/HFCS is a cause of diabetes! When people then switch to synthetic sugar substitutes (like Splenda or NutraSweet) they add even more toxicity to their body and damage their brain cells (excito-toxic effects).
The blood is thick and unhealthy in diabetes. It is clumping and not flowing nor working properly, therefore, the body is in chronic inflammation. This is what causes the joint issues in diabetics. All the symptoms seen in diabetes are adaptations to this problem with the blood. Cortisol is anti-inflammatory, which the body needs more of. The body needs cholesterol to make cortisol, which is the hypercholestrolemia that we also see in diabetics. Cortisol increases the body’s need for sugar, which causes the heart rate and the blood pressure to rise in response. Therefore, sugar will rise in the blood as an adaptation. Sugar is both a cause and an effect in diabetics!
The main issue we are seeing in modern health care is that people are missing the fact that the body is intelligent. They see every symptom as pathology, rather than it adapting to keep the body alive. We keep missing the main, and frankly, most obvious causes of disease: toxicity, lack of nutrients, chronic inflammation, and chronic stress. Instead of detoxing and nourishing the body, more toxicity is often added in the form of medical drugs, which can never heal anything. In fact, drugs can also cause diabetes, specifically blood pressure medication. If you take a drug to lower blood glucose (according to the British Medical Journal) by 9%, you have a 19% increase in death; if you lower it by 14%, then you have a 43% increased rate of cardiovascular death.
When you burden an already over-burdened system (which is compensating to keep the body alive) by drugging it, it messes with it’s natural preservation mechanisms that will always worsen outcomes. This is just common medical sense that most MDs no longer seem to have. The cure for this disease is detoxing and nutrifying the body.
Fix the blood and you fix diabetes!
