PH Plan Quick Start

[Mossy]

Larky..yes..IMO..it Would affect your blood sugar levels..:thumbs:..it can reverse diabetes type 2..it Does affect sugar resistance.

Let me search a bit more homework

Do you have a PH meter...?...coz a reading would Help me to know if you do Need Help...

 

[Larky.Derry]

i will go and dig out my old ph meter and let you know aunty, what do you mean when you say reverse type 2 diabetes? as in help with it?

 

[Mossy]

Simply put Larky...magnesium deficiency probably Causes Diabetes type 2...:thumbs:

The Insulin Magnesium Story

Magnesium is necessary for both the action of insulin and
the manufacture of insulin.

Magnesium is a basic
building block to life and is present in ionic form throughout the full
landscape of human physiology. Without insulin though, magnesium doesn’t
get transported from our blood into our cells where it is most needed.
When Dr. Jerry Nadler of the Gonda Diabetes Center at the City of Hope Medical
Center in Duarte, California, and his colleagues placed 16 healthy people on
magnesium-deficient diets, their insulin became less effective at getting sugar
from their blood into their cells, where it’s burned or stored as fuel. In other
words, they became less insulin sensitive or what is called insulin resistant.
And that’s the first step on the road to both diabetes and heart disease.

Insulin is a common denominator, a central figure in life as is
magnesium. The task of insulin is to store excess nutritional
resources.This system is an evolutionary development used to save energy and
other nutritional necessities in times (or hours) of abundance in order to
survive in times of hunger. Little do we appreciate that insulin is not just
responsible for regulating sugar entry into the cells but also magnesium, one of
the most important substances for life. It is interesting to note here that the
kidneys are working at the opposite end physiologically dumping from the blood
excess nutrients that the body does not need or cannot process in the
moment.

Controlling the level of blood sugars is only one of the
many functions of insulin.

Insulin plays a central role in storing magnesium but if our cells become
resistant to insulin, or if we do not produce enough insulin, then we have a
difficult time storing magnesium in the cells where it belongs. When
insulin processing becomes problematic magnesium gets excreted through our urine
instead and this is the basis of what is called magnesium wasting
disease.

There is a strong relationship between magnesium and
insulin action. Magnesium is important for the effectiveness of insulin. A
reduction of magnesium in the cells strengthens insulin resistance. [1],[2]

Low serum and intracellular magnesium concentrations are associated
with insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and decreased insulin
secretion. [3],[4],[5]
Magnesium improves insulin sensitivity thus lowering insulin resistance.
Magnesium and insulin need each other. Without magnesium, our pancreas won’t
secrete enough insulin–or the insulin it secretes won’t be efficient enough–to
control our blood sugar.

Magnesium in our cells helps the muscles to relax but if we can’t store
magnesium because the cells are resistant then we lose magnesium which makes the
blood vessels constrict, affects our energy levels, and causes an increase in
blood pressure. We begin to understand the intimate connection between diabetes
and heart disease when we look at the closed loop between declining magnesium
levels and declining insulin efficiency.

Though it would be a long stretch of the longest giraffe’s neck to compare
insulin with chlorophyll we are walking a trail at the very nuclear core of
life. It’s the magnesium trail and we find to our surprise that it takes
us into intimate contact with the very structure and foundation of life. The
dedication of this chapter is to the beauty of magnesium, to its meaning in
life, in health and in medicine.

We were talking about chlorophyll and now insulin and putting magnesium
in-between. Walking further along is the DHEA magnesium story and the DNA
magnesium story. And then there is the cholesterol magnesium story. Every part
of life is in love with magnesium except allopathic medicine which just cannot
accept it in all its light, flame and beauty. Thousands of years ago the Chinese
named it the beautiful metal and they were seeing something pharmaceutical
medicine does not want to see for there is little money to be made from
something so common.

In a study from Taiwan, the risk of dying from diabetes
was inversely proportional to the level of magnesium in the drinking
water.[6]- Dr. Jerry L. Nadler

Dr. Jerry Nadler of the Gonda Diabetes Center at the City of Hope Medical
Center in Duarte, California, and his colleagues placed 16 healthy people on
magnesium-deficient diets, their insulin became less effective at getting sugar
from their blood into their cells, where it’s burned or stored as fuel. In other
words, they became less insulin sensitive.

Insulin regulates cholesterol levels. There is a direct
connection between the level of cholesterol and the level of insulin.

Magnesium is necessary for both the action of insulin and the manufacture of
insulin. Magnesium is a basic building block to life and is present in ionic
form throughout the full landscape of human physiology. Without insulin
though, magnesium doesn’t get transported from our blood into our cells where it
is most needed.

Diabetes mellitus is associated with magnesium depletion, which in turn
contributes to metabolic complications of diabetes including vascular disease
and osteoporosis. Intracellular depletion is directly connected to the impaired
ability of insulin to increase intracellular magnesium during insulin deficiency
or insulin resistance. Magnesium deficiency per se has been reported to
result in insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance and magnesium depletion result in a vicious cycle
of worsening insulin resistance and decrease in intracellular Mg(2+)
which limits the role of magnesium in vital cellular processes.[7]
Magnesium is an important cofactor for enzymes involved in carbohydrate
metabolism so anything threatening magnesium levels threatens overall
metabolism. Large epidemiologic studies in adults indicate that lower dietary
magnesium and lower serum magnesium are associated with increased risk for type
2 diabetes.[8],[9]

Redistribution of magnesium into cells may cause lower
magnesium levels in the serum. Insulin causes this effect.

Researchers at the Institute of Internal Medicine, University of Palermo
wrote, “Intracellular magnesium concentration has also been shown to be
effective in modulating insulin action (mainly oxidative glucose metabolism),
offset calcium-related excitation-contraction coupling, and decrease smooth cell
responsiveness to depolarizing stimuli. A poor intracellular Mg concentration,
as found in noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and in hypertensive
patients, may result in a defective tyrosine-kinase activity at the
insulin receptor level and exaggerated intracellular calcium
concentration.” [10]

The link between diabetes mellitus and magnesium
deficiency is well known. A growing body of evidence suggests that magnesium
plays a pivotal role in reducing cardiovascular risks and may be involved in the
pathogenesis of diabetes itself.- Dr. Jerry L.
Nadler

Magnesium improves and helps correct insulin sensitivity, which is the
fundamental defect that characterizes pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome and even
full blown diabetes and heart disease. An intracellular enzyme called
tyrosine kinase requires magnesium to allow insulin to exert its
blood-sugar-lowering effects. In several studies, daily oral magnesium
supplementation substantially improved insulin sensitivity by 10% and reduced
blood sugar by 37%.[11],[12]
Magnesium also helps correct abnormal lipoprotein patterns. We would expect to
find larger improvements in this increased insulin sensitivity if magnesium is
supplemented in a correct way meaning through transdermal and oral methods
combined using liquid magnesium chloride (magnesium oil) as compared to the very
inefficient oral solid forms commonly used.

Improved insulin sensitivity from magnesium replacement can markedly
reduce triglyceride levels.[13]
Reduced triglyceride availability, in turn, reduces triglyceride-rich particles,
such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and small low-density lipoprotein
(small LDL), both of which are powerful contributors to heart disease. Magnesium
supplementation can also raise levels of beneficial high-density lipoprotein
(HDL).[14]

Insulin regulates intracellular magnesium levels via
activation of Na+/Mg2+ exchange. Insulin’s effect on Na/Mg exchange may explain
the low cellular magnesium levels observed in vivo under hyperinsulinemic
conditions.[15]

Magnesium is a necessary element for all living organisms both animal and
plant. Chlorophyll is structured around a magnesium atom, while in animals,
magnesium is a key component of cells, bones, tissues and just about every
physiological process you can think of. Magnesium is primarily an intracellular
cation; roughly 1% of whole-body magnesium is found extracellularly, and the
free intracellular fraction is the portion regulating enzyme pathways inside the
cells. Life packs the magnesium jealously into the cells, every drop of
it is precious.

Add the story of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which replace the
chlorophyll molecule’s magnesium center with ion to function for O2 and CO2
transport, but retains magnesium in other crucial roles, and we are on the
essential axis of life that allopathic medicine can address with intensive
magnesium therapies.

Magnesium improves insulin sensitivity thus lowering insulin resistance.
Magnesium and insulin need each other. Without magnesium, our pancreas won’t
secrete enough insulin–or the insulin it secretes won’t be efficient enough–to
control our blood sugar. Insulin is a hormone. And like many hormones, insulin
is a protein. Insulin is secreted by groups of cells within the pancreas
called islet cells. Insulin is much more important and has many more functions
then we realize. It regulates:

• lifespan - Lower insulin levels equate to a longer life.
• blood sugar
• blood lipids
• excess nutrients (from glucose, carbs and calories) and converts them to

• 
  fat
• builds muscle
• stores protein
• magnesium levels in our body
• calcium levels in the body
• retains sodium levels
• cell division
• growth hormone
• liver functions
• sex hormones, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone
• cholesterol in the body
• fat in our body

Magnesium is a cofactor for multiple enzymes involved in carbohydrate
metabolism.[16]
Adipocyte cells placed in low-magnesium media show reduction in
insulin-stimulated glucose uptake.[17]
Magnesium deficiency is associated with increased intracellular calcium levels,
which may lead to insulin resistance. Low erythrocyte magnesium content
increases membrane microviscosity, which may impair insulin interaction with its
receptor.[18]
Tyrosine kinase activity is decreased in muscle insulin receptors of rats fed a
low-magnesium diet.[19]
These findings indicate that magnesium deficiency directly affects insulin
signaling.

When magnesium levels fall hypersecretion of adrenalin and insulin
compensate. Their increased secretion help maintain the constancy of the levels
in intracellular magnesium in the soft tissues. Plasma and intracellular
magnesium concentrations are tightly regulated by insulin. In vitro and in vivo
studies have demonstrated that insulin modulates the shift of magnesium from
extracellular to intracellular space.

Dr. Ron Rosedale says that, “Insulin floating around in the blood causes
plaque build-up. They didn’t know why, but we know that insulin causes
endothelial proliferation. Every step of the way, insulin is causing
cardiovascular disease. It fills the body with plaque, it constricts
the arteries, it stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, it increases
platelet adhesiveness and coaguability of the blood.”

..there is No such Thing as a Test Fart"... :

Words to live by...:My Arse..:

 

[komach]

Yeah..coz you have More Energy...you will Use it someway.....if you get past the Sex and fancy the Spring Cleaning..I'll give you My Home Address....

:xlaugh::Haha:

 

[Larky.Derry]

i checked my ph and it was 6.6 :dunno: good? bad? knowing my luck it will be bad lol

 

[Root]

Larky, not too bad... start taking the baking soda and watch it rise! you want to get to 7 or above.

Eek can tell you more about how it affects diabetes.
He has been converting to a Paleo diet for about a month and it is helping his blood sugar level.

You have come to the right place.

 

[Duggy]

You wont be long elevating your pH from there Larky...good luck..:Sharing One:

 

[Villain]

Will alcohol affect readings (drink Friday, Saturday and a couple Sunday (believe it or not
No harm in trying and if I can stop this leg aching and get a good sleep the bells at 5am will sound a hell of a lot better

 

[Captain Howdy]

Yeah..me too..so if you haven't directly Asked for a thyroid function test you probably haven't been Tested.

Although I have heard they are going to be routinely testing the over 50's shortly.

Haha, well I'm half way there, still in my 20's... just lol. I'll mention it to him and see what he says.

Excellent..coz it sound Likely that is a goiter...mention the family history of thyroid problems..
My Grandma's blunt description of a goiter is Fat Neck...:thumbs:..coz you get to See the swollen thyroid gland.

Yup, sounds about right, I always think of it as a Mr Toad neck. It gets to the point, not that it's impossible to swallow, but just uncomfortable. The same feeling you get when you neck a drink and get an air bubble caught halfway down. Swallowing pills is a nightmare.

(smoking) How many pot ones..?

Hmm, let's imagine I'm fully stocked.... possibly 4-5 mixed and 1-2 pure. Possibly a pipe or two an hour if I'm sat on my arse doing jack diddly or being a bit arty. That sounds like a lot when I write it down like that lol. A days smoke is usually somewhere around 2-3g

Yeah..Me Too.....and that IS a mag deficiency sign.

Actually..both over active and under active thyroid conditions are associated with mag deficiency.

Homework is on site somewhere coz I know I read it in regards to someone else.

Okay cool, I'll hunt it out and have a read. I'll post the link when I find it.
How is it possible the majority of humanity is suffering with a magnesium deficiency... How's that come about. There has to be a cause for all of this....


It looks like Aunty Mossy's waiting room is filling up fast, maybe we should rally the whole troop and get everyone at AFN to do this together, at the same time. Seems we could all benefit from a program like this
