Is there a cure for diabetes? So manypeople are confused they're asking methese questions because a lot of peopleare getting off medications they'renormalizing their blood sugars throughlifestyle intervention through lifestylechanges and yet their doctors aretelling them that there is no curethe official viewpoint is that this is achronic incurable disease so what is ithow can people get these results todayI'm going to talk about this and we'regonna give you a different perspectiveso you're .

gonna have a whole newviewpoint and a whole new outlook onthis you're gonna like it stay tuned I'mDr. Sten Ekberg I'm a holistic doctorand a former Olympic decathlete and ifyou want to truly master health byunderstanding how the body really worksmake sure you subscribe and hit thatnotification bell so that you don't missanything I did some research on diabetescure and here's what WebMD.com says Isthere diabetes cure with all theresearch on diabetes and advances indiabetes treatments it's .

tempting tothink that someone would surely havefound a diabetes cure by now but thereality is that there is no cure fordiabetes neither type 1 diabetes or type2 diabetes so let's just make it reallyclear that for the purposes of thisvideo we're talking about type 2diabetes which is insulin resistance toomuch insulin type 1 is a completelydifferent thing and we'll do some othervideos on that but that is a completelack of insulin so they're really twoopposites we're going to talk about type2 .

diabetes here so first we need toclarify some terms when they say isthere a diabetes cure what does the wordcure actually mean so let's look at thatso I looked that up the officialdefinition cure can be a verb or a nounas a verb cure is to relieve a person ofthe symptoms of a disease and they saythat a synonym ofof a cure is to heal or restore tohealth so here's the problem they firstof all they think that the cure is torelieve the symptoms they think that ifyou have cured someone and relieve .

themof a symptom then you have healed themthey believe that health is merely theabsence of symptoms okay and that's thefirst problem they don't understandphysiology they don't understand thatdiseases develop as a result of a longterm imbalance for example a heartattack if someone gets a heart attackthat's the first symptom but this personspent 20-30 years developing thephysiology getting the body out ofbalance to the point where the heartattack was inevitable and the heartattack was the first .

symptom but theywere unhealthy they were out of balancefor 20-30 years so lack of symptoms doesnot mean that you're healthy but whenthey're looking for a cure they'resimply looking for a way to relievesymptoms of a disease that's theofficial definition and how are theylooking to do that that comes in thenoun the cure can be a noun and nowthey're looking for a substance thatcures a disease and a synonym for thesubstance would be medicine ormedication so the only way that you cancure something is .

to treat a symptomwith a medication that is the definitionof a cure is there a cure for diabetesno absolutely not and we're notinterested in a cure we're going to talkabout something completely differentwe're going to talk about reversingdiabetes and we're going to talk aboutfive facts five truths five realizationsthat is going to completely change thepicture on how you look at these thingsfirst we have to understand the wordcure is not what we're looking for thatthe cure is not about reversing .

adisease and that's whythey will never find a cure and willwell get into that they will never be apill to restore health there may be apill to treat a symptom but againthey're not going to change theunderlying conditions and this is whatwe're going to talk about here's a bigone for you the number two fact you haveto understand is type 2 diabetes is nota diseaseand now you're going hey whoa now youlost me you made some sense from time totime but here you're just really gettingoff so what do I .

mean type 2 is not adisease well let's talk about that andwe need to understand a few things aspart of that that it's not a diseaseit's a physiological adaptation okayit's not a disease because there'snothing broken there's nothing missingthe body parts are still there thepancreas is still making insulin but thebody is responding it's adapting tosomething that brings us to part threethat the body is smartit has homeostasis this the body isn'trandom everything the body does is onpurpose .

everything that gets out ofbalance in the body is because somethingis making it go out of balancesomething is pushing it out of balancethere is a principle in the body calledhomeostasis and that's the principle ofbalance that's the principle of healingthat the body will always attempt toreturn to homeostasis homeostasis isbalance something pushes it out ofbalance as soon as the push is gone assoon as the pushing factor is gone thebody returns to homeostasis that's sortof like gravity that .

gravity works onwater a spring a water stream comingdown a mountainside will always attemptto bring that water down to sea levelalways no exceptionsthe body will always attemptto return to homeostasis just like thewater returns to the sea the bodyreturns to homeostasis gravity doesn'twork sometimes healing doesn't worksometimes physiology doesn't worksometimes it always works that's justthe way it is it's built into the fabricof nature that your body is designed todo the right thing for the .

right reasonsif it appears that it's not doing theright things there is a factor there'ssomething creating an imbalance okay sowe have to get to that understanding ofthe body's innate intelligence theprinciple of homeostasis and thatphysiology is this principle it's thesefactors it's the study these factorsthat that guide healing that guidehomeostasisif type-2 diabetes is not a disease thenwhat is it it is an adaptation what isan adaptation it's when your body adaptsit copes it's changes in .

response tosomething so let's take a few examplesjust to make you more familiar with thatwhat is hypertrophy it's when somethinggrows larger so a bodybuilder he putspressure he puts stress on his muscleshe puts a tremendous stress repeatedmany times many hours a day and now thebody senses hey you know if I'm going tobe able to keep up with this work in thefuture I have to change I have to buildmore muscle I have to create more musclefiber so I can cope better with thisstress in the future .

that's anadaptation that growing muscle is anadaptation to an imposed demand we havepushed the muscle and the muscleresponds the opposite happens withsomeone who's a couch potato or if youbreak your arm or you break a leg andyou put a cast on itnow when you take that cast off a couplemonths later there's virtually no muscleleft there is atrophy because when wedon't use the muscle the body senses heyyou know this there's not much use forthis muscle tissue if this if the ownerof this muscle isn't .

going to startusing it I'm going to downsize I'm goingto down-regulate it I don't want tospend precious resources rebuilding thatmuscle if it's not going to be used foranything use it or lose itthat's where hypertrophy and atrophycomes inbut everything the body does is inresponse to something if you normallylive at sea level and you have a certainamount of red blood cells and then youmove up in the mountains at 6,000 feetabove sea level what's going to happenyour body is going to up regulate .

theproduction of red blood cells so now allof a sudden you got 20% more red bloodcells why because there's less oxygen inthe air that's the stress so there's animposed demand your body needs to makemore red blood cells so you can stilltransport the oxygen when there's not somuch of it around that's an adaptationit's a physiological adaptation so whatdoes that have to do with with diabeteswell diabetes is a late stage resultit's the late stage of insulinresistance so when we eat things .

thattrigger insulin primarily sugar andcarbohydrates then insulin productiongoes up if we do that six times a daythen insulin production goes up sixtimes a day and insulin then startspushing blood sugar into the cell andthe cell is grateful at first for thisfuel but then eventually when the cellhas had enough fuel it starts resistingit starts adapting it's a physiologicaladaptation because thisl can only use so much fuel so whenthere's more and more and more morecoming what's the cell going to .

do it'sgoing to be smart it's going to beintelligent it's gonna say enough isenough I'm gonna start closing down thegate so I don't get flooded with allthis fuel that's what insulin resistanceis it's not the body being stupid it'snot the body being random or mistaken orbroken or flawed the body is doingexactly what it's supposed to when it'sbeing overwhelmed it's going to try tooppose that factor that's overwhelmingand it's going to become insulinresistance until that avalanche of fueland sugar .

starts to pull back so this isa crucial factor in the understanding ofholistic health that there are nomistakes in the body and there arevirtually no diseases as at least notwhen we're talking about functionalproblems when we're talking about highblood sugar and diabetes and digestiveproblems we're talking about functionalproblems we're talking about imbalancesthat develop over time because we'repushing the body and the body isadapting to respond so type 2 diabetesis not a disease it's a .

physiologicaladaptation it's an intelligent responseto an unbalanced environment and theunbalanced environment is on modern foodit's food that we have never ever seenbefore it's in its carbohydrates andsugar and processed foods in amountsthat the human body has neverexperienced not even close so once weunderstand that number four is moreobvious it kind of follows that whenthey say that there is no cure in themedical world they're right because whatwould that mean if the body is always onpurpose .

and it always returns to balancethen a cure would be a way of inventinga medication a substance that couldsomehow make the body be happy out ofbalance that we keep insulting it withan overwhelm with an avalanche of fueland we expect to be able to create apill to maintain that imbalance and keepthe body happy it can't work it won'twork because that would be like tryingto find a cure for gravity we can't doit there's never going to be a cure forphysiology physiology is the body'stendency to .

return to balance gravity iswater's tendency to return to the sea wewon't find a cure we can't find a curebecause it's not the way it's supposedto be and if the water is held up by adam then it can appear that the waterisn't returning to the sea for a whilewe can observe an imbalance we canobserve high blood pressure we canobserve insulin resistance and in highblood sugar but the moment that weremove the barrier the moment that weremove the interference the factor thathas been upsetting the .

balance then thewater starts flowing again we don't haveto teach the water to flow again italready knows how gravity never stopsworkingyour body's healing your body'shomeostasis never stops working becauseit can't it's built in to the innateintelligence into the very fabric ofnature but it's easy to understand whythere is so much confusion if we havethese two different worldviews if we onthe one hand understand the innateintelligence and homeostasis and on theother hand in the medical world .

theybelieve that the body is random and thatit's mistaken and that it breaks downfor no reason on occasion that it doesstupid things that it randomly startsresisting insulin so the official viewof insulin resistance is that the cellsareno longer responding normally toblood-glucose in other words the impliedstatement there is the cells are notresponding normally to normal foodanymore and of course normal food todayis 300 grams of carbohydrates 170 gramsof sugar and the food pyramid with thebase .

being starches okay of course ifyou believe that is normal food thenyou're not going to understand anythingthat we're talking about here we have tofirst put the body back in the pictureof what is normal food for humans whathave we been eating for the longest timeand we've discussed all these topics inmore detail on other video so feel freeto check those out for the for thecomplete version of each of these sothis brings us to number five so that westarted out asking is there a cure fordiabetes .

and we've pretty much come upwith based on the medical definition ofa cure no there isn'tbut once we understand that type-2diabetes is not a disease it is aphysiological adaptation then numberfive becomes the obvious question canyou reverse a physiological adaptationyesso adaptations are reversible and oncewe start understanding this then allthat it comes down to is that we want toreduce reverse the factors that forcedthe adaptation in the first place so ifyou move up in the mountains and .

startmaking more red blood cells you're andthen you move back to sea level thenyour body is going to start downregulating red blood cells because youdon't need so many anymore 20% less willdo just fine at sea level and if you goback in the mountains it'll start goingback and forth back and forth it will doit again because it's intelligent so ifthe insulinresistance developed because we forcedcertain things on the body then themoment we stop forcing it then it willstart returning to homeostasis .

it's assimple as thatwhat does it mean then to stop thefactors it means eat less of the foodthat stimulates insulin and what is thatprimarily sugars and processed starchesany kind of starch really but butespecially processed starches so we wantto eat less sugar we want to be moderateto very little fruit if you're alreadyinsulin resistant we want to cut outgrains both processed and complexbecause there's very little differencein blood sugar impact and we want tostart eating more fats moderate .

proteinand more whole foods because they havethe fiber and they have the wholepackage of what you need we also want toeat less frequently because if you eatsomething that stimulates insulin andthen you do it once you get one burst ofinsulin if you do it six times nowyou're pushing insulin six times you'regiving the read the cell six reasons tobecome insulin resistant the longer yougo between meals the bigger the chancethe greater the opportunity for the cellto start burning through some of .

thatfuel so that maybe it gets hungry againmaybe it will want some fuel sometime inthe futureso there's lots and lots of differentvideos we've done videos on each one ofthese on lchf low carb high fat onketogenic diet on intermittent fastingso that's about reducing the the insulinproduction and the frequency and then ofcourse you also want to add in someexercise and some stress managementbecause exercise makes the muscles moreinsulin sensitive it gives your body achance to burn through some .

fuelsbesides all the other benefits ofexercise and become a little moreinsulinsensitive and stress management isbecause stress produces higher bloodsugar stress causes cortisol releasesand cortisol raises blood sugar whichraises insulin and you can actuallybecome insulin-resistant pretty muchfrom stress alone the more of thesethings that you do the greater yourchance of reversing these adaptations sodon't wait for a type-2 diabetes cureand understand when they say that thereis no cure .

understand why they're sayingthat they're speaking a differentlanguage they're talking about asubstance to reduce a symptom whereaswhat you're really looking for is ahealing process it's a reversal of theadaptation and there's never going to bea pill that can cure that can fix thehomeostasis because the body is alwaysintelligent it's always adapting to theimbalance and if you have an imbalancethen just remove the cause for thatimbalance and your body will go rightback to doing what it's .

supposed to doso both healing and gravity are laws ofnaturethey always work do we know if they'regoing to work tomorrow we can't say forsure but my bet would be that gravityand healing are still gonna worktomorrowif anyone want to bet against me on thatthen please just leave your commentsdown below and I'll get back to you ifyou enjoy information like this and youlike learning how things really workthen make sure that you subscribe andhit that notification bell so that youdon't miss anything .

and please sharethis information with as many people asyou can because diabetes is a biggerproblem than we have ever seen as far ashealth concerns and the official versionis that there's nothing you can do aboutit but now you know better so let themknow thanks forreading.
