Folks, It's been a week since posting any information on Cheryl's JOURNEY. Happy to say she returns to work tomorrow. Becoming more active will indeed help the blood sugar level. Were regularly at 150 first thing in the morning now, but Cheryl is taking 15 units of Insulin once a day. This we will slowly decrease, regularly monitoring. We have a good handle on her diet. We've incorporated only good quality Omega3 cooking oil, a good quality full spectrum liquid Nutraceutical, and 3 additional Minerals to support Blood sugar metabolism. We've incorporated a good quality Omega3 Essential Fatty Acid. Some of this regiment to address some poor lab results. Triglycerides at 335 HGL Cholesterol (Good) only 27.5 We need for these to improve significantly. However her overall Cholesterol at 197 which isn't at all alarming. So, in summary were in high gear now, and hope to post improvements in blood sugar each and every couple weeks, and decrease Insulin dependency. So, bye for now. Bob & Cheryl.

Journey Back On Track
Well Folks, the medical condition Cheryl has is healing and progressing nicely. She anticipates being back to work around the 19Th of March. We can now start concentrating on the Type II Diabetes. To summarize, we will be attacking this in a fourfold manner, at least initially, and determine how we proceed. The process will probably be a 4-5 month JOURNEY. Remember her A1C is 10.7 First, as we have already begun, the diet MUST eliminate all forms of SUGARS. The carbohydrates must be limited to 5-8 oz per meal. We MUST Eliminate the use of all JUNK Oils. Only a premium quality of Olive Oil to prepare foods in will suffice. Secondly, Exercise 2-3 times a day, especially after eating will be introduced, and this can be as simple as walking a mile. Thirdly, introducing a good quality Liquid Nutraceutical Vitamin and Mineral Supplement is Essential. Also ESSENTIAL is a good quality Flaxseed Oil, and a good quality Omega 3 Oil. A good quality supplement which supports the Pancreas, and the blood sugar control system (BSCS). Remember, our cells are reproduced every 90-120 days. As Cheryl's cells are being reproduced, they must have the proper nutritients as do we all, The new cells as produced will again become sensitive to the insulin, whereas they now are actually numb to this very important hormone. LASTLY, monitor the Blood Sugar level very closely each and every day. Utilize a log and write down everything you eat, and do to support how your regiment is working. If your taking Insulin, monitor this closely, as you will become more and more independent of the artificial insulin you may now be taking. Consult your Medical Professional regarding your Insulin and how your adjusting. Folks, this sounds difficult, but if you want to heal yourself and not remain dependent on Insulin pills, or shots, you have NO CHOICE. Goodbye for now, a little in a few days. Bob & Cheryl

Some Detail As Promised
Well. as indicated in previous posts, Cheryl had a slight set back in dealing with her Type II Diabetes. It was unrelated to the Diabetes, but required Surgery on her Big Toe. Actually, we decided on the amputation of the tip of the toe, rather than go thru 6-8 weeks of Intravenous Antibiotics. It appeared the sigmoid bone, a bone on the bottom of the toe became infected, a result of a callus Cheryl has had for quite a few months. Since the bone was infected, there were only two options. As we said, because of all side effects of long term Antibiotics, and no mobility problems with the amputation of the tip of the toe, we elected this alternative. Her toe is healing properly, actually the stitches came out today. However, Cheryl was instructed to stay off the toe as much as possible so it would heal properly. She now has been instructed to start walking around, and we anticipate her returning to work in two weeks.
WE'VE DECIDED TO PROVIDE THIS DETAIL OF HER SET BACK.
Primarily because we have been concentrating on the medical issue, rather than the Diabetes as aggressively as we should be. But first things first. An infection in a bone is potentially life threatening even in the bone if not totally eradicated. So, now we will can concentrate on this nasty disease called Type II Diabetes. The details on the actual condition, lab results, and our course of action.
Folks, with Exercise, diet, and proper supplementation, and essential acids, and good quality oils this Diabetes can be reversed. More to come. Hope we can be help to some of you.

Finally Some Questions Answered
It's been a week now since the last post. Happy to say Cheryl is responding to Surgery which she required. I will be posting more detail on the condition which required the Surgery, and why we choose this alternative. Let me say Modern Medicine has came a long way, and has saved millions of lives. And this is because of research by many fine men and women. We however, still are confronted with Type II Diabetes, and the challenge ahead in controlling this without medications. Folks, the answer to Type II Diabetes in the majority of cases is not found in the Designer Insulin prescribed by our Medical profession. Yes, it lowers the blood sugar level, but these drugs were never designed to cure this disease, ONLY treat the SYMPTOM. Anyway were moving forward. More a little later.
