Canine
Diabetes, The Real Problem!
Today,
most people who have dogs with diabetes are only treating
the symptoms and not getting to the root of the problem.
Furthermore, many medications given to dogs with diabetes
are compounding problems instead of getting to the root cause.
The best way to manage
your dog's diabetic condition is to address the actual cause.
Doesn't that make more sense? Let's look at what canine
diabetes really is.
The Simple
Explanation.
Other than the genes
your dog inherited, there are two primary causes of diabetes:
1) a
long-term diet that has been high in carbohydrates and
2) nutritional deficiencies.
Your
dog's body breaks down carbohydrates into sugar (glucose)
which then enters their blood stream. The more carbohydrates
consumed, the higher their blood sugar goes. In response,
their body produces insulin. Insulin's job is to push the
blood sugar into the cells.
On the
surface of the cells in their body are insulin receptors,
which act like little doors that open and close to regulate
the inflow of blood sugar.
After
many years of consuming a high-carbohydrate diet, their cells
have been bombarded with so much insulin that these doors
begin to malfunction and shut down.
With
less doors open, their body needs to produce even more insulin
to push the glucose into the cells. More insulin causes even
more doors to close and as this vicious cycle continues, a
condition called "insulin resistance" sets
in.
When
their body can no longer produce enough insulin to push the
blood sugar into the cells, diabetes results. It is simply
an extreme case of insulin resistance.
The
key point for you to understand is that your dog's energy,
wellness and longevity are primarily dependent on improving
the sensitivity of their cells to insulin - how well their
cells open and close the doors and allow the sugar to be cleared
from the blood.
What's
the Bottom line?
Since
canine diabetes is really a severe case of insulin resistance, the
solution to their condition is to find a way to increase the
sensitivity of their cells to insulin. By doing this you help
their body get the sugar out of the blood and into the cells
so it can be metabolized and turned into energy. (This
inability to metabolize sugar is one of the reasons why most
diabetic dogs are often sluggish and appear tired.)

diabetes is a severe case of insulin resistance. The
normal solution of pushing more insulin into the body
is only going to compound the insulin
resistance
problem, making it worse.

The
Deadly Effects of Excess Insulin!
Your
dog's "metabolism" is the food processing and energy
production system of their body. It is made up of extremely
fine-tuned internal processes.
Insulin
is the master hormone of their metabolism. When it is out
of balance and their insulin levels are consistently elevated,
a long list of deadly complications are created:
*
Heart Disease
* Hardening of the Arteries
* Damage to Artery Walls
* Increased Cholesterol Levels
* Vitamin & Mineral Deficiencies
* Kidney Disease
* Fat Burning Mechanism Turned Off
* Accumulation & Storage of Fat
* Weight Gain
In his best-selling book Protein Power, Dr. Michael Eades
wrote,
"When
insulin levels become too high... metabolic havoc ensues with
elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides,
diabetes, and obesity all trailing in its wake. These disorders
are merely symptoms of a single more basic disturbance
in metabolism, excess insulin and insulin resistance."
Nutritional
Deficiencies from excess insulin.
Science has shown
that excess insulin also causes your dog's body to become
deficient in many vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
It's a proven fact that being deficient in these nutrients
is directly linked to and a cause of high blood sugar levels.
Chromium
Chromium
is essential to proper metabolism and maintaining safe sugar
levels. Excess insulin depletes your dog's chromium. In Protein Power,
Dr. Eades further states,
"The
insulin receptor, the structure on the surfaces of your cells
that actually become resistant to insulin, requires chromium
to function properly. Deficiency of chromium is rampant -
it affects 90% of the American population - because a diet
high in starch and sugar puts a heavy demand on the insulin
system to handle the incoming carbohydrate load, and that
demand depletes chromium."
Chromium
is critical to blood sugar metabolism and as the owner
of a diabetic dog, you can be pretty sure he or she is
severely deficient in this nutrient.
Many
other nutrients are also depleted by excess insulin, which
are critical to biochemical processes in their bodies.
Now
that you know how and why dogs develop diabetes and
know
some of the consequences of not controlling their blood sugar
levels,
here
are your choices:
- You
can continue on with what you've been doing, or
- You can use
a safe and effective way to help control your dog's blood
sugar with absolutely
NO SIDE EFFECTS!! - GUARANTEED!!
Fortunately,
your dog's body has miraculous healing powers, is very resilient
and operates in a very intelligent manner. If you give your
dog the right fuel and the right nutrients, he or she will
respond very quickly. Some exercise also helps!
The
first step to
doing this is:
- Restrict
the carbohydrates in their diet and
- Get your
dog the right nutritional supplement (see below).
These
two actions are not optional or negotiable!
Doing 1 and 2 above on a regular basis is the only way to
address the root cause of your dog's diabetic problem and
balance their body's metabolism for the long-term. Now that
