Prevention is better than any cure! Eliminate the cause!

One of the biggest problems with the acceptability of nutraceuticals in the United States has been the lack of peer-reviewed clinical studies proving their effectiveness in a controlled environment. In recent years there has been an explosion in the use of nutraceuticals in conjunction with or as a replacement to standard medical care. This consumer demand has fueled much research and testing to prove the mechanisms and the ability of a nutraceutical to produce the desired therapeutic effect of the ingredients for a desired disease or aliment.

People with type 2 diabetes can slow, moderate or reverse the progression of their disease by managing their diet (alkaline), drinking ionized alkaline water and taking nutraceuticals.  The following ingredients and botanicals have been shown to improve blood sugar control or limit diabetic damage.

One of the biggest problems with the acceptability of herbal medicine in western cultures in the past has been the few peer-reviewed clinical studies proving their effectiveness in a controlled environment. In recent years there has been an explosion in the use of nutritional supplements in conjunction with or as a replacement to standard medical care. This consumer demand has fueled much research and testing to prove the mechanisms and efficacy of these treatments.

Oxidative stress is an excess in the number of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the body compared to the ability of the body to defend against these using the bodies antioxidant defense system. We are constantly attacked by reactive oxidants. The inhalation of smoke, the ingestion of alcohol, even over-cooked food can contribute to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has been found to contribute to or play a major role in nearly every major disease. Oxidative stress plays a major role in all forms of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, arthritis, Alzheimers's disease, and most common skin disorders. For most of these diseases there is a genetic factor involved. This genetic factor does not imply that we are destined to protract a certain disease, only that there is an increased likelihood. One of the primary factors in increasing the likelihood of a genetically predisposed condition is excessive oxidative stress. It has been shown in many scientific studies that a reversal of the oxidative stress by the administration of the correct antioxidants is an effective treatment for many of these problems.
