energy can be used for cellular fuel. Without this the entire body becomes
weak, affecting all its functions.
The body secretes various digestive enzymes in basically four places: the
mouth, stomach, pancreas and small intestines. The mouth, pancreatic and
intestinal enzymes are similar to each other and are alkaline in nature,
affecting carbohydrate, sugar and fat digestion. The stomach is the only acid
chamber in your body and its role is to start breaking down protein
structures. This is accomplished by HCL (hydrochloric acid) releasing pepsin.
HCL and pepsin are acidic in nature. It is important to note here the
importance of bile and sodium bicarbonate, the former released by the
liver/gallbladder and the latter by the pancreas. These are alkalizing agents,
which now alkalize the acid stomach contents (called chyme) so that the
alkaline pancreatic and intestinal enzymes can finish up the job.
If there is inadequate bile flow and inadequate sodium bicarbonate, the
acids from the chyme will neutralize the alkaline digestive enzymes from the
pancreas, halting proper food digestion or breakdown. The HCL will then
burn or inflame the walls of the intestines. This can eventually lead to ulcers
and intestinal “itis’s.” Since acids neutralize alkalis, the alkaline digestive
enzymes of your pancreas and intestinal tract are inhibited from properly
digesting your foods. This causes fermentation and putrefaction, which now
becomes the process that breaks down the remaining food particles, instead of
the proper enzyme action. This, of course, refeases much toxicity and
alcohol, which further impedes the proper breakdown of your foods into
building materials and fuels. This alcohol creates additional blood sugar
problems and acidosis.
The function of the pancreas that directly relates to diabetes is performed
by the beta cells, which produce and release the insulin that assists in the
utilization of glucose fuel by the body. Insulin, being a protein-type
hormone, assists the transport of glucose through cell membrane walls. It is
important to note here that fructose from fruit moves through cell walls by
diffusion, not active transport, as in the case of glucose. This means that the
need for insulin to assist fructose into a cell is highly questionable, yet
diabetics are commonly told not to eat fruit because of its sugar. I have
always put my diabetic patients on fruits with tremendousfy positive results.
Letting Others Do It For youI’ve seen case after case where a loved one drags their mate into my clinic
and wants me to tell the other person what they have to do. They push their
