Four Main Food Allergies…Have You Been Tested?

Dr. Jade Malay — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:46:37 +0000

Any guess as to what the four main food allergies/sensitivities are? Well here they are:

Gluten-found in bread, pastas, beer, etc. AKA: modified food starch, MSG
Egg
Soy-tofu, soy sauce most commonly
Milk

If you are eating something that you have a food sensitivity to, this causes inflammation. The body responds to inflammation by raising the blood sugar. Simply, knowing your food sensitivities and changing your diet accordingly will help bring down your blood sugar and allow your body to work efficiently. These are one of the many imbalances I find out by testing you thoroughly and bringing your body back into balance to reverse your disease.

Stress and Pregnenolone Steal

Dr. Charles Stafford — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:38:10 +0000

We are a stressed out society, we don’t relax enough, and we are running our bodies into the ground. Sometimes those effects are obvious to us, sometimes they are not, and other times, we just don’t care. Lets examine one small facet of hormones and see the effects upon our bodies.

Cholesterol(which is very important to survival) is converted into Pregnenolone. (Pregnenolone is pretty much a super hormone, from which all steroid hormones are derived.) From this point the body has a couple of choices, first is to convert it to Progesterone, which leads to Cortisol(think stress hormone). Second is to convert it to DHEA, which leads to Androstenedione, which in turn goes to Estrone, Estradiol, Estriol and Testosterone. The body is very intuitive and realizes that if the body is under stress it needs more Cortisol, the stress hormone. The side effect of this is that it will diminish the DHEA production, which effectively ends sex hormone production. The other side effect of this is the suppressive nature of Cortisol on insulin receptors on our cells, which tells the body to secrete more insulin(think insulin resistance—>Diabetes). This results in hyperinsulinemia and you get the negative effects of insulin from this. Eventually though the Cortisol production will drop from adrenal exhaustion. Then we lose the effect of Cortisol to return low blood sugar levels back to normal which will result in hypoglycemia. Think about your stress and your symptoms and see where you fit in this puzzle.

Keeping Your Blood Sugar Stable for Your Type 2 Diabetes

Dr. Jade Malay — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 15:22:31 +0000

Blood sugar instability plays a big role in the management of your disease, reduction of your symptoms, and reversing your diabetes.

The following are good rules to stand by when it comes to keeping your blood sugar stable:

Eat a high-quality protein breakfast: Mom was right! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Eat small amounts of protein every two to three hours: Nuts, seeds, meat, or protein shake are some examples.
Find your carbohydrate tolerance and stick to it: If you feel sleepy or crave sugar after a meal, you’ve eaten too many carbs.
Never eat high sugar foods without some fat, fiber or protein.
Do not eat sweets or sugary foods before bed.
Avoid all fruit juices.
Avoid all Adrenal stimulants: This means coffee, energy drinks, and sodas.
Eat a well-balanced diet consisting mostly of vegetables and quality meats and fats.
Eliminate food allergens and intolerances.

10. Eliminate parasites and toxicities.

We can help you find out what your food allergies are through a simple test. This is part of our comprehensive management of you as a whole person.

Hormone Overload Courtesy Of The One You Love

Dr. Jade Malay — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:15:57 +0000

Hormones play a huge part in your health and potentially plays a part into one of the many reasons for your disease, whether that be Type 2 Diabetes or Low Thyroid.

I was consulting with a female patient the other day and her testosterone levels were OFF THE CHART. Through our consultation, we were able to pinpoint the source of the testosterone…it was her husband! Her husband was using a testosterone cream that was getting transferred to her through skin contact. Once we were able to eliminate the source of the testosterone and support her body to get rid of the excess testosterone, her symptoms improved.

This is just an example of taking a comprehensive look at your whole health picture in determining what various things may be perpetuating your disease.

The Monster Inside Me

Dr. Jade Malay — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:22:22 +0000

There’s a new show on the Animal Planet station called “The Monster Inside Me” that features stories of people who had various parasites, worms, and other foreign invaders that almost killed them…and they lived to tell their story.

The truth is the majority of us are walking around with different parasites, worms, and other bugs and don’t even realize it.

Any foreign invader of our body will cause inflammation. The body responds to any inflammation by raising the blood sugar. Parasites or worms in the intestinal tract will cause inflammation leading to “leaky gut”.

Some of this “bugs” are difficult to get rid of. Some have been living with you unknown to you for many years and they’ve gotten used to the nice house they’ve set up inside you. This is why retesting to make sure these bugs are gone is absolutely important to make sure you are on the road to reclaiming your health.

Diabetes and Thyroid Disease-The Common Link

Dr. Jade Malay — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:13:17 +0000

Whenever a patient I am consulting with a patient who tells me that they are also on thyroid medication, my ears perk up and immediately I suspect that the thyroid problem is also causing the Type 2 Diabetes…the two go hand in hand. One will never get the Diabetes under control until the thyroid condition is under control. Many times patients who present with both have something called Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroid Disease where it’s actually the immune system that is the culprit. Until the immune system is dealt with the thyroid problem AND the diabetes problem will continue to get worse. A simple blood test can be done to confirm Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroid. This blood test is typically not ordered by your MD, simply because there is no drug for Hashimoto’s. Several steps can be taken naturally to treat Hashimoto’s. If you have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and have a Thyroid problem or any other autoimmune disease, the cause for your Type 2 Diabetes may be autoimmune.

Mom Was Right….Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal Of The Day!

Dr. Jade Malay — Wed, 12 May 2010 16:21:13 +0000

For any Type 2 Diabetic and those who don’t want to have Insulin Resistance problems, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you have slept for 8-10 hours, your body needs fuel, especially protein to get the day going. A breakfast high in protein such as eggs, turkey, vegetables, nuts and seeds will not break down quickly like meals low in proteins such as breads, donuts, cereals, and pastries. Low protein meals lead to insulin surges that leave you hungry shortly after a meal and will promote your diabetes.

Dietary changes are important with type 2 Diabetes, but knowing what you should and should not eat is important also. Many people have no idea what food sensitivities they may have and may be eating completely wrong.

Don’t be fooled, eating correctly is only part of the puzzle of the Diabetes disease. If you’re eating correctly and still have high blood sugar and struggle to get it down even with medication, there could be something else going on that you doctor may have missed. A comprehensive evaluation of your blood chemistry and possibly other tests may be needed to find the root cause of your disease.

HA1C, Hemoglobin A1C, Is Not The Only Number To Pay Attention To

Dr. Jade Malay — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:50:04 +0000

A lot of Diabetics I speak with are only concerned with 2 numbers, their fasting glucose and their HA1C. Hemoglobin A1C is a 3 month average of your blood sugar. Though this is an important number, other numbers such as your liver enzymes, ferritin, and homocysteine are just as important. A deadly trap type 2 diabetics fall into is only monitoring their glucose numbers and ignoring everything else. Remember your diabetic medication only artificially lowers the blood sugar numbers, but never addresses the core issue of what is allowing the blood sugar to be high in the first place. The cause of your disease may lie in the other numbers from your lab tests that may be ignored by you and possibly your doctor.

It’s very important to get all your blood chemistry in balance if you’re ever going to get your Type 2 Diabetes under control. So pull out your last blood work and look at all the numbers not just glucose and A1C. If all markers such as the ones mentioned above are not being evaluated in your blood, then you may not have a comprehensive diagnosis as to what is the underlying cause of you diabetes.
