A new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine demonstrates that three-fourths of diabetic patients receiving medication for cholesterol and blood pressure receive very little benefit. In fact, the case for “benefit” can only be justified for those in truly horrid health. For the rest, a snake pit of adverse side effects is the reality.

Macrophages accumulate in excess in extra pounds of body fat. Once there they generate excess amounts of inflammation that not only causes insulin resistance that leads to type 2 diabetes but also adds to the overall inflammatory burden of the entire body making a person more at risk for any disease of aging. A new study proves the molecular mechanism by which DHA turns off macrophage inflammation within white adipose tissue.

An experimental animal study with diabetic rats shows that Acetyl-l-carnitine reduced free radical damage in arteries, prevented deterioration of the heart, and reduced stiffening of the arteries that otherwise routinely occurs during diabetes

Global health authorities were recently shocked to find that cases of type 2 diabetes have doubled across the world in the past three decades. Drugs to treat the problem are proving an utter failure. And a 600 calorie-per-day starvation diet was proven to reverse the problem in patients diagnosed within the past four years.

R-Alpha lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) show synergistic activity towards boosting the energy production in cells. This information can be used to improve your ability to exercise or to help correct serious metabolic problems such as type 2 diabetes. Several recent studies illustrate how these nutrients work to enhance your production of energy.

Korean researchers reviewed the last ten years of curcumin science as it applies to supporting weight loss and preventing obesity-related disease. Their conclusion is, “The modulation of several cellular transduction pathways by curcumin has recently been extended to elucidate the molecular basis for obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases. These findings might enable novel phytochemical treatment strategies as well as curcumin translation to the clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of obesity-related chronic diseases. Furthermore, the relatively low cost, safety and proven efficacy of curcumin make it advisable to include curcumin as part of healthy diet.”
