Did you know that sixty percent (60%) of all South African adults are diabetic. And that half of them are undiagnosed.
Most people with dysglycaemia (irregular blood sugar levels) go through life unaware that they have the condition or any tendency thereof. They may have been diagnosed with some other condition such as IBS, depression or asthma. And in many cases may even be taking strong prescription drugs to mask the symptoms of dysglycaemia.
Seventy to eighty percent of patients exhibit a tendency to hypo / dysglycaemia and this tendency is on the rise in younger generations. This is mainly due to stress factors and dietary and environmental changes.
The most common symptoms of dysglycaemia / hypoglycaemia are the following:
Blurred vision
Poor concentration
Headache
Shakiness
Irritability
Dizziness
Panic Attacks
Excessive sweating
Palpitations
If left untreated for twenty to forty years, a tendency to hypo / dysglycaemia can evolve into Type 2 Adult Onset Diabetes mellitus.
Dysglycaemia is not readily identified through a single blood sample. Therefore it will most likely be dismissed unless the practitioner already has clinical awareness of the condition and its myriad of symptoms.
A family medical history of blood sugar disturbances and the tendency thereof can be identified through numerous individual or combined iris and inner pupillary border signs. Iridology can diagnose the underlying cause to a problem and identify what tendencies can be missed with other testing methods.
Below is the left iris of a patient:
Take note of the orange pigmentation in the iris relate to pancreatic and hepatic functions. Especially in relation to the balance of blood sugar levels. This patient has a family history of Diabetes mellitus. Dysglycaemia or hypoglycaemia is a certainty.
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid - in the treatment of Diabetes
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is the only form of lipoic acid that is proven to
effect glucose transport, metabolic rate, insulin sensitivity and body fat composition. It is water and fat soluble, allowing it access to all parts of the cell. It is also the only form of lipoic acid that your body synthesize and can safely metabolize.
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is the form found naturally occurring within the body and is the biologically active form of alpha lipoic acid. S-Alpha Lipoic Acid is the byproduct created during the production of alpha lipoic acid.
S-Alpha Lipoic Acid by itself isn't very effective. Most over the counter alpha lipoic acid supplements contain a 50/50 mixture of S- Alpha Lipoic Acid and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid. Try to use a 100% pure R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, as it is up to ten times as effective as S-Alpha Lipoic Acid.
Proven facts about R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
It is the only form of lipoic acid that:
a) significantly reduces inflammation.
b) significantly increase your cellular and mitochondrial antioxidant activity for preventing mitochondrial decay.
c) improves memory, reduces brain damage, reverses cognitive dysfunction, and protects the brain from
neurodegeneration associated with aging.
d) significantly increases insulin sensitivity, enhances glucose transport, increases metabolic rate and reduces the gain of body fat.
e) protects fats against oxidative damage, chelate harmful metals and reverses stress damage in your heart.
f) significantly increases and maintains levels of other antioxidants including Coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, Vitamin E and glutathion.
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is indicated for:
a) Speeding up of gucose removal from the blood (useful in the treatment of Diabetes mellitus)
b) Peripheral neuropathy
c) Insulin resistance (increase insulin sensitivity)
d) Increases metabolic rate and reduces body fat storage
e) Protects
sensitive tissue like the eyes, nerves and capillaries
f) Reduces age associated deterioration in auditory sensitivity and improves cochlear function.
