INSULIN RESISTANCE, PRE-DIABETES, & DIABETES

Insulin resistance takes place when the body produces insulin, but cannot use it efficiently. Muscle, liver, and/or fat cells don’t respond properly to insulin and have problems absorbing glucose from the bloodstream, causing glucose to build up in the bloodstream instead of being absorbed into the cells. As a result, the body requires more insulin to upload glucose into the cells, so the beta cells...

HIGH ACIDITY & INSULIN

Acidosis can disrupt all cell functioning and cell sensitivity to insulin. Every cell in the body is surrounded by a fatty membrane that protects it from the surrounding extra cellular fluid. This fatty membrane is greatly involved in cellular respiration, allowing for nutrients and oxygen to enter the cell, and carbon dioxide and waste products to be expelled out. Acidic waste buildup allows cell...

INSIDIOUS ACIDS & LINK TO INSULIN RESISTANCE

Accumulated acid waste and inflammation are almost ALWAYS implicated as the cause or catalyst of the onset of disease, as well as the accelerator and the result of disease progression! That being said, excessive acid production in the body is a symptom of poor diet and lifestyle choices, in conjunction with environmental toxic exposure and the resultant retention of toxic waste in the body. Excessive...
