VISITING THE DOCTOR, NERVE PAIN

Hey! I had my check up yesterday I got to keep my blood test results, I'm so getting better. While I'm not perfect yet my levels are getting there, my lungs are clear and the high blood pressure? Gone, it's normal now. YAY! My A1C is lower, my glucose is lower, my cholesterol is lower, I'm happy and getting well. When the doc asked me how I was [why do they do that? I don't go there because I'm healthy for gooness sake]I was able to smile broadly and sure her I felt great! I'm known among the people I see regularly as a Sunny, happy person.... This from someone who use to be sick all the time, depressed so bad I could hardly stop crying, for decades. I have to credit CellPower™ more than anything else. sure dieting and exercising gave me a good start but my vigorous healthy, more energetic, happier self started with the CellPower™.

I also continue to take Essential fatty acids,FLAX SEED OIL

coconut oil


to help lose weight.

In addition I also take
~4 essential minerals for diabetics
~SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
and Conjugated Linoleic Acid* to counteract the effects of alloxan I might get by accident, I don't eat bread much less white flour but you never know.
see:alloxan causes diabetes

I am experiencing nerve pain even with my diabetes under strict control. Of course the medicos want you to take medications for it,

(1)

"Anti-seizure drugs often are used to help control the type of pain caused by damaged nerves.
Anti-seizure (anticonvulsant) medications were developed primarily to reduce or control epileptic seizures. But they can also help control the burning, stabbing or shooting pain sometimes caused by nerve damage. These drugs seem to work by slowing or blocking pain signals from damaged nerves.
Why does it hurt?
Nerves can be damaged by many things, including injury, surgery, disease or exposure to toxins. For example, some people with diabetes develop numbness and pain (peripheral neuropathy) in their hands and feet. People who have shingles often continue to have pain (postherpetic neuralgia) after the shingles have cleared up.
This pain occurs because the damaged nerves are firing inappropriately and sending pain signals even though no tissue has been harmed. This type of pain can be debilitating and is often difficult to control."

Personally,I've had these pains for much longer than I've had diabetes.

(2)

"~Controlling your blood sugar levels can help prevent worsening nerve pain and improve your overall health at the same time.
~Medications can help relieve nerve pain, make you more comfortable, and improve your quality of life.
"We know that better glucose control is the single most important factor" in preventing neuropathy, slowing its progress once you have it, and relieving many symptoms, says Christopher Gibbons, MD, director of the Neuropathy Clinic at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston and instructor of neurology at Harvard Medical School.
If you have diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, talk to your doctor about ways to better control your blood sugar. You may need to take insulin for better control, says Gibbons.
Once you are doing all that you can to keep blood sugar levels under control - including diet, meal planning, exercise, and medication - you should assess with your doctor which pain medication is best to relieve your remaining symptoms."

Since I refuse to take drugs what to do, what to do? The diabetic socks I have are too long, [I have very short toes, so if the socks fit they are too long]and they curl under my toes and HURT!

I find this really helps Get more info on RealHeal to relieve pain and promote faster healing after surgery or injury
What is RealHeal?
RealHeal is an herbal and homeopathic formula containing ingredients chosen for their rapid healing, pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.
RealHeal is taken internally to promote faster and more comfortable healing. It is effective in speeding up the healing process after surgery, childbirth (including Caesarean birth) or injury, and will also promote faster healing of bruising.
RealHeal tablets may also be effectively used along with our RealHeal Massage Oil - used topically to soothe and promote surface healing.

Because the nerve pain starts inside and is a mixup of nerve information this product really helps to alleviate it.
Have a blessed, protected, healthy day

WHERE I WAS, WHERE I AM, WHAT HELPS

I have a friend from when I lived close to Seattle, who is just barely a year older than I am and the last I heard she is in the hospital and she's giving up the fight.
Just last year I felt that sick, I was diabetic, and all my systems were getting compromised one after another, I was so fat there were a lot of things I needed help doing like tying my shoes and some other even more embarrassing help. I hurt so bad and felt so awful all the time, my blood sugar levels were way outta control I could barely sleep and I had no energy. I ate like the oinker I resembled. After working hard to lose weight and get fitter I've lowered my blood sugar levels to rock bottom. I'm in control of my eating, exercising, I no longer live to eat but eat to live.

My diet currently is not that exciting but it is mostly adequate, I still get hungry, to keep my weight down and hopefully lose more? But the truly exciting thing is I'm feeling so much better, I'm busily making clothes and taking in or giving away all the horribly huge things I have in my closet, See as I was so fat I quit caring what I looked like and I chose my clothing, not for style, but simply if they were big enough to hide at least some of the rolls. I can tie my shoes pretty easily now, and my feet aren't nearly as swollen, I have energy and more importantly I have my ambition back, To explain... I not only have the ability to get things done, but have the 'want to' also.

A great side effect of getting well and having a future again is that I'm just happy,
for me this is really something because a big part of my problem is that I've always struggled with deep depression. I was bi-polar also so I know the difference between the euphoria of the high part of the disease and just happy. God delivered me from the bi-polar part.

I started taking CellPower™
, and my weight loss and better eating doctors got a hold of me.

Some of the things I've learned while doing this journal:

~Cinnamon really lowers the blood sugar, but you need to take a lot of it
~taking liver cleanses really help the diabetic person get control of blood glucose
~Glutathione-the master antioxidant is a great helper to counteract many diabetic complications.
~4 essential minerals for diabetics
~SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
~coconut oil


for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight
~Essential fatty acidsfor better health
~FLAX SEED OIL

I've also learned not to eat ANY MSG it puts weight on, seriously! Or any /high Fructose Corn syrup, it also makes the extra poundage gather at the waist.

Mostly though the CellPower™ has given me the power boost towards great health. It properly adjusts the body pH, fights viruses,bacteria, and fungi,helps lower blood pressure, adds enzymes to the body lost from cooking foods. It can help with:Allergies pH imbalances Emphysema Indigestion Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Kidney infections Chronic fatigue syndrome Skin disorders Bronchial asthma Arthritis and joint pain Short-term memory loss Fibromyalgia Viral, fungal, and bacterial infections Muscle pain Candidiasis, and for me it HAS!

Junior high school students in Chicago were studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At
the end of the lesson, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven
Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following received the
most votes:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyonin Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The EmpireState Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch...
2. to taste...
3. to see...
4. to hear... (She hesitated a little, and then added...)
5. to feel...
6. to laugh...
7. and to love.

The room was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.

May this story serve as a gentle reminder to all of us that the things we overlook as simple and ordinary are often the most wonderful - and we don't have to travel anywhere special to experience them.

Have a Grrreat day!

REVERSING DIABETES- PAIN from sugar

They, you know the ubiquitous 'them', as in us and them, say that Diabetes is irreversible. But many many people have done it, their blood glucose levels stay normal Day after day, even right after meals, they are not starving, but eat a normal diet. So what do you call that? If that's not a cure I don't know what is....

I am planning to be one of the people who are no longer anticipating the degenerative effects of diabetes. I'm getting healthier. I could tell you but you probably wouldn't believe me, Ok I will... I think the biggest boost I've had is in my mood. I'm just happy, I can't tell you how that happened but it has, I've fought a predisposition for depression all my life, being suicidal for nearly 45 years straight...This JOY is a recent development, It's been within the last four weeks. I have been taking CellPower™ for a few months now, the first thing I noticed; and it was right away, was that I had lots more energy and I was sleeping better. Then, as I saw my pH beginning to normalize I was seeing my blood glucose levels leveling out more, my weight is still going down, and I'm finding I'm in so much less pain. Then inexplicably, possibly it's from the relief I feel from getting healthier, I can't stop smiling.


NERVE DAMAGE IN DIABETES called diabetic neuropathy?

(1)

The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include:

-numbness and loss of feeling (usually first in the feet or hands)
-slower reflexes
-pain varying from minor discomfort or tingling sensations in fingers and toes to -severe pain; pain may be sharp or lightning like, deep aches that make sleep or daily activities difficult, or sensitive skin that responds to the slightest touch
-weak muscles.

(2)

What is Diabetic Nerve Pain?
Diabetic nerve pain is a problem that some people with diabetes have. This condition is also called painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral (per-IF-er-al) refers to the parts of the body that are farthest away from the center of your body like your arms, legs, fingers and toes
Neuropathy (Nur-AH-pa-thee) means damage to the nerves
Diabetic nerve pain occurs most often when people have blood sugar levels that are too high for too long. These high blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage in many parts of the body, including:feet and legs~hands and arms

I have/had all those symptoms, I still get stabbing pains in my toes, but all in all~ those symptoms have receded, I only get the stabbing pains when I eat sugar, not from fruit sugars either just from white sugar in candies and cookies I find so hard to resist. So I'm going out on a limb here and say, if you have diabetic neuropathy try staying completely away from white sugar. I knew a man years ago who said he had to eliminate sugar from his diet because it caused him pain. And He wasn't Diabetic.

(3)

Mood affects pain. It does not seem as severe if we remain calm and avoid becoming anxious or depressed. Many techniques taught at childbirth classes are based on this approach of facing pain with calmness.

The higher your blood sugar is the less able your are to tolerate pain, according to research at the University of Minnesota College of Medicine, published in the American Journal of Medicine 77:79. Since DIABETICS must be vigilant to keep their blood-sugar levels low, this is an especially important discovery for them. Generally, diabetics were found to have a lower tolerance for pain than non-diabetics.

(4)

People who are sugar-sensitive have naturally low levels of serotonin. As a result, they do not have good impulse control. It is almost impossible for them to "just say no" because there is such a short time between their getting the urge to do something and their doing it. This is why no matter how many times you vow to stick with a diet, you are not able to. The insufficient serotonin level in your brain isn't giving you the time you need to make good decisions.

Besides being impulsive, people with low levels of serotonin may feel depressed and find themselves craving foods such as bread, pasta or candy. This craving is the work of your brain, not your ego, because your brain knows that getting you to eat such foods -- which are all simple carbohydrates -- will temporarily raise your serotonin level. Unfortunately, it will also have a devastating boomerang effect and cause all sorts of negative feelings. Having low serotonin can cause these feelings:

-Feeling depressed
-Acting impulsively
-Feeling blocked and scattered
-Having a short attention span
-Feeling suicidal
-Craving sweets and simple carbohydrates

So maybe eating sugar was my problem the depression, the pain, the impulsiveness, feeling blocked and scattered, I am much more focused now, I can remember to do things even if I stop to do something else first, It just has to be that the CellPower™
has helped to raise my seratonin levels, and I no longer crave sweets as much, and the above symptoms are so much lessened also. I just can't recommend this product highly enough. I also place in my prayers each day all the folks who are taking it so that they'll find it helps them as much as it is helping me! I want to be a small part of helping our nation heal to fix our health care problem. I can't help with a broken arm or a head wound except that a healthy body heals so much faster!

I'm also taking:
coconut oil


for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight,Essential fatty acids,FLAX SEED OIL
AND
THE FOUR ESSENTIAL MINERALS FOR HEALING, of special concern for diabetics:
SELENIUM,MAGNESIUM,CHROMIUM, and ZINC.

Have a great day, may you be always blessed and your wallet always full, May you find fresh pasture and cool shade. Be blessed my friends!

AND THE
~~~JOKES~~~


THIS ONE IS BAAAD BUT FUNNY
This truck driver hauling a tractor-trailer load of computers stops for a beer. As he approaches the bar he sees a big sign on the door saying "Nerds Not Allowed - Enter At Your Own Risk!" He goes in and sits down. The bartender comes over to him, sniffs, says, "You smell kind of nerdy. What do you do for a living?" The truck driver says, "I drive a truck, and the smell is just from the computers I am hauling." The bartender says, "Okay, truck drivers are not nerds." and serves him a beer. As he is sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks in with tape around his glasses, a pocket protector with twelve kinds of pens and pencils, and a belt at least a foot too long. The bartender, without saying a word, pulls out a shotgun and blows the guy away. The truck driver said, totally shocked, "Why did you do that?" The bartender said, "Not to worry, the nerds are overpopulating Silicon Valley and are in season now. You don't even need a license." The truck driver finishes his beer, gets back in his truck, and heads back onto the freeway. Suddenly he veers to avoid an accident, and the load shifts. The back door breaks open and computers spill out all over the freeway. He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming, grabbing up the computers. They are all engineers, accountants and programmers wearing the nerdiest clothes he has ever seen. He can't let them steal his whole load. So, remembering what happened in the bar, he pulls out his gun and starts blasting away, felling several of them instantly. A highway patrol officer comes zooming up and jumps out of the car screaming at him to stop. The truck driver said, "What's wrong? I thought nerds were in season." "Well, sure," said the patrolman. "But you can't bait 'em."

A man was driving along the highway, and saw a rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of the car and was hit. The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road and got out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit was dead. The driver felt so awful he began to cry. A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong. "I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it." The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to he car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit. Miraculously, the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 meters away the rabbit stopped, turned around, waved at the two again, hopped down the road another 50 meters, turned, waved, and hopped another 50 meters. The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in the woman's spray can! He ran over to the woman and demanded, " What was in your spray can? What did you spray onto that rabbit?" The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: " 'Hare Spray' Restores Life to Dead Hare. Adds Permanent Wave."
