I have not written much in my blogs recently, I have been immersed in reading some great books. I have just finished reading: The Four Agreements, The Four Agreements companion book and The Fifth Agreement by Don Miguel Ruiz. These books teach the ways of the Toltec Seers. I am not going to explain everything about these books in this article; I think it is best served if you read them for yourself.

But I have been thinking how this may fit with people dealing with diabetes and would like to share my opinion here today.

The Four Agreements are: Be Impeccable with your words, Don’t take anything personal, Don’t make assumptions and Always do your best.

As we look at these agreements and then apply them to our disease of Diabetes, I think most would find that we judge ourselves and beat ourselves up over how we may have taken care of our bodies in the past. As most of you know that type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease and we regret not taking better care of ourselves in the past. We may also play the victim in this and possibly diminish our abilities with the “woe is me” syndrome. The Four Agreements addresses this type of behavior.

Are you beating yourself up over the past? Are you being honest with yourself and others? Are you doing your best in controlling your diabetes?

The Four Agreements changes how we look at life and how we deal with each day. If we work on our personal lives in this manner, I think we will be able to work on our struggle with diabetes ever better. This is only my opinion and you need to read the books and decide for yourself. Don Miguel Ruiz has done a great job with these books and his teaching are there for you to apply into your life, only if you have a desire to change the dream of your life.

I have posted a link to his book on Amazon at the top of my home page.

I hope you seriously look at this book and decide to read it. I am currently implementing the teachings into my life today.

Statins May Be Linked to Diabetes

This is an article from Web MD and can be found here http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/news/20100217/statins-may-be-linked-to-diabetes-risk

I find it interesting that we continue to put medications in our bodies to control one aspect of health but the results are additional side effects. Using Statins to lower cholesterol is very common and in this article they state that only 9% chance of getting diabetes from using Statins, but what is the count of people on Statins today.

I explain this because there is better sources to lower cholesterol than taking Statins and it may even lower the risk of getting diabetes. If you have diabetes it can even help control it.

I take Proargi 9 plus every day. I have reduced my triglycerides substantially over the past year, I have got my diabetes under control. (4.8 A1c) I met many others that have done the same. So if you are looking for a healthier substitute for Stains go to http://mydiabetes.mysynergy.net and learn more.

I know that a lot of people get skeptical about nutritional supplements and even more skeptical when they are part of a Network Marketing company. But I want to let you know about my success and why I write about this product.

So many people struggle with diabetes and just can not get on top of the problems that come from diabetes. With a little bit of effort many can change the out come.

Get a little bit of exercise can be the best thing for anyone, even without diabetes. But I want to tell you about my results from my last Endo visit. I contribute most of this success to my regimen of nutritional supplements. Yes I do exercise but not everyday. I do try to eat the right foods but not all the time, so this is why I put most of my success in the supplements.

This week I went to my endo doc and got my results from my last blood test. My A1c was still at 4.8. It has been here for a year and a half. My cholesterol was lower, my blood pressure was lower and I had gained 20 pounds. My doc asked how I was doing this, he was amazed that I could keep my numbers this low at my age and with gaining some weight. I explained it was from Proargi, Core Greens and Mistica. These are the three components of the V3 system from Synergy. He stated ” I wished all my patients would do what you are doing”. I told him they could if he referred them to these product and he said he could not, because the medical community prescribes medications not nutritional supplements. Now is that not a terrible sign that the medical world can not get behind products that work regardless of the stigma it may present. If it works why not get behind it.

The next day I had my yearly foot exam and the doc said I had great circulation in my feet. Proargi helps improve the overall circulation in the body. We talked about l-arginine and proargi. He said his office was doing some tests with l-arginine for people with bad circulation in their feet. This backs up the fact that some doctors are looking at the fact that there some benefit to some supplements but again was reluctant to listen much about Proargi.

Take your health into your own control and get your health back, the doctors are not going to do this for you.

Almost two years ago my A1c was 11.8 and I have keep it at 4.8 for a year and a half with the use of the V3 system, you can do the same!

The past several weeks I have had numerous conversations with diabetics about Proargi 9 Plus. It continues to amaze me how people are always looking for the magic potion and not looking at how they got to diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease! Meaning: a poor diet loaded with fat and carbohydrates, lack of exercise and poor balance of nutrients, sustained over time, created the diabetes. The best way to correct this is to reverse the lifestyle.

I get asked if Proargi 9 Plus will take care of their diabetes and I have to tell them, just adding Proargi 9 Plus will not. Diet and exercise are still needed and they are not willing to make the change. Why are a proper diet and a little exercise so hard? I think that sometimes the easiest things for us are sometimes the hardest. This truly shows how addicting foods can be.

I usually go on to explain how Proargi 9 Plus will help with the complications that come from diabetes such as heart disease. I think Proargi 9 Plus is the third magical ingredient to help diabetics, following proper diet and exercise. The cardiovascular system in a diabetic body is under constant attack and the complex blend in Proargi 9 Plus is perfect to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.

So even though I am a true believer that Proargi 9 Plus is beneficial to everyone, I still think diet and exercise is a must!

Recently, there has been a renewed interest in vegetarian diets. Today there are countless books, cookbooks, and magazine articles promoting vegetarian diets and providing guidance for those who wish to follow a meatless diet.

Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal products. This type of diet may reduce some of the much needed nutrients our bodies need. The key to a nutritionally sound vegan diet is variety. A healthy and varied vegan diet includes fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes.

Now this is where Proargi 9 Plus may help a great deal. The main product in Proargi 9 Plus is L-arginine which aids in the cardiovascular system and kidney functions. L-arginine is an amino acid our bodies need and we get L-arginine from meats and nuts. With a Vegan diet this amino acid may be reduced. Also Vitamin D is not found in the vegan diet but can be made by humans following exposure to sunlight or you can get 2500 IU in every scoop of Proargi 9 Plus.

Proargi 9 Plus also can provide the much needed boost of B12.

I believe diet and exercise are the best two things a person can do to help with diabetes, but getting all the proper nutrients while dieting can be difficult and may increase other risks. But adding proper supplements to a diet can help tremendously. I want to end this post with a very interesting article about the Vegan diet.

This article can be found on http://www.goveg.com/diabetes.asp

Here is just one part of the article.

According to a study conducted by the University of California and published by Diabetes in Control, patients with type 2 diabetes who followed a low-fat vegetarian diet lost significantly more weight compared to those who followed the American Diabetes Association’s guidelines. Although the patients on the vegetarian diet saw their cholesterol levels drop significantly, the patients who followed the other guidelines actually saw their cholesterol levels increase!⁴ Several studies have found a link between the consumption of dairy products in childhood and the development of type 1 diabetes. A report by researchers at the Clinical Nutrition & Risk Factor Modification Center at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto stated that diets rich in healthy plant foods cause improved glycemic control, reduced lipid levels, and reduced rates of renal disease. The researchers urged diabetics to substitute “soy or other vegetable proteins for animal protein” and predicted that vegetarianism “will produce very significant metabolic advantages for the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications.” ⁵ And a ground-breaking 2006 study published in the journal Diabetes Care found that 43 percent of people with type 2 diabetes who adhered to a low-fat vegan diet for 22 weeks reduced their need to take medications to manage their disease, compared to only 26 percent of those who followed the diet recommended by the American Diabetes Association.⁶ One of the study’s researchers stated, “The [low-fat vegan] diet appears remarkably effective, and all the side effects are good ones—especially weight loss and lower cholesterol.”

I have read a lot of books about health, nutrition, antioxidants, diabetes and nitric oxide. These subjects have helped me with a plan than is controlling my diabetes. I want to share a couple books that I think are very good for anyone with diabetes or heart disease.

Dr Joseph Prendergast is a practicing Endocrinologist in California, he is also the co-developer of Proargi 9 Plus. He encourages his patients to use Proargi 9 Plus and so far his results are astounding.
Dr. Joe’s Rx for Managing Your Health details how to reverse cardiovascular disease and manage diabetes symptoms through a self-care healthy lifestyle. You can live a life of passionate purpose through health prevention practices that include diet, exercise and attitude. Joe’s personal health crisis in adulthood taught him life-long lessons in self-care that he now gives to you in this pioneering approach.

Another great book is No More Heart Disease by Dr. Louis Ignarro.
Dr. Louis Ignarro discovered “the atom” of cardiovascular health–a tiny molecule called Nitric Oxide. NO, as it is known by chemists, is a signaling molecule produced by the body, and is a vasodilator that helps control blood flow to every part of the body. Dr. Ignarro’s findings led to the development of Viagra. Nitric Oxide has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system as well.

NO relaxes and enlarges the blood vessels, prevents blood clots that trigger strokes and heart attacks, and regulates blood pressure and the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels. Dr. Ignarro’s current research indicates that Nitric Oxide may help lower cholesterol by facilitating the actions of statin drugs like Lipitor.

The goal of the regimen presented in NO More Heart Disease is to age proof the cardiovascular system, keeping the vascular network clean and elastic through enhanced NO productivity. The plan is easy-to-follow without extreme lifestyle adjustments, involving taking supplements to stimulate Nitric Oxide production, incorporating NO friendly food into the diet, and a moderate exercise program.
