THYROID/PARATHYROID
The thyroid/parathyroid gland must also be considered because of its control
of metabolism and calcium utilization factors. Without proper calcium
utilization all the cells in the body can become weakened. Calcium also plays
a role in zinc, selenium and iron utilization, which affects glucose utilization
and cellular functions.
HYPOTHALAMUS AND PITUITARY
Another area of weakness to consider in diabetes is the hypothalamus and
pituitary gland. The posterior part of the pituitary gland, controlled by the
hypothalamus (the master computer in the body), releases an anti-diuretic
hormone which when underactive causes diabetes insipidus. It is also
important to note that the transverse bowel is at the heart of eighty percent or
more of the upper brain weaknesses, including and especially the pituitary
and hypothalamus areas. With a greater understanding of the GI tract,
especially the colon and its relationship to the organs and glands, you will
appreciate why a healthy GI tract is necessary to assist the health of the rest of
the body.
GI TRACT AND DIABETES
Your gastrointestinal tract has a relationship to all the organs and glands
within your body. Just as the hub is the center of a wheel, the GI tract is
considered the hub of your body. When the GI tract gets impacted with
putrefying plaque from meat and flour products, the resulting inflammation
and toxicity produced is echoed to the related areas. This is why cleaning and
strengthening the GI tract is vital to your success in any disease condition,
including diabetes.
