Diabetics can be divided into Type 1 and Type 2. You can be born with diabetes or it can develop later in life. You may need some insulin on a daily basis to balance your blood sugar or you may be able to keep it under control with diet and exercise. Either way, recent research has revealed that there are various natural means by which you can help yourself.

The pancreas has certain cells called the Islets of Langerhans. These cells produce insulin as it is needed and in the correct proportions for the amount of sugar present in the blood. The insulin then circulates in the bloodstream where it binds to the insulin receptors like a lock and key type of mechanism. Some food allergies and various airborne chemicals resemble the chemical composition of insulin enough to fit into the insulin receptor's lock and key mechanism. Whenever an insulin receptor site becomes filled with anything other than insulin, it becomes inoperative. This is becoming more widely known as insulin resistant diabetes. This insulin resistant aspect of the disease is responsible for 50% to 100% of your condition and can be reversed and cured not just controlled.

Natural items reverse and cure the problem by unlocking the lock and key mechanism of the insulin receptors to set free the chemical compounds that are clogging up the system.

Things that will help to reverse insulin resistance are:

Ezzeac Herbal Tea is made of five different herbs that work together to cleanse the bloodstream. It will separate the chemicals from the insulin receptor sites thereby restoring them to proper function. What you want are results. Three of the herbs are roots and barks (burdock root, slippery elm bark, Turkish rhubarb root). Two of the herbs are very soft (watercress and sheep sorrel). If you don't boil the roots and barks long enough then you will NOT get the necessary nutrition into the tea. If you put the soft herbs in at the same time then you will destroy the vital nutrients. Various brands of tea are made from these herbs. Some stores will sell you the five herbs in a dry form and tell you that you can make your own tea and save money. This does not work as well.

Several essential oils from plants also help restore the insulin receptor sites to normal function. Oils of fennel, dill, and germanium will help to restore normal blood sugar levels. These oils are rubbed onto the feet and on the abdomen over the pancreas. Clinical trials have shown that applying these oils three times per day will drastically normalize the blood sugar levels in a very short time. Over time the pancreas will return to normal and the insulin receptor sites will normalize also. As this happens, usage can be decreased.

Rice bran can be helpful in balancing your blood sugar.

Jerusalem artichokes also known as sunchokes balance blood sugar also. These vegetables are crunchy like a carrot and taste like potatoes but they look like ginger roots. Each day you eat one about the size of a hen's egg. One day steamed and the next day raw and grated into salad.

Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals, prevent further damage to your nerves, and repair the damage that has already been done to your nervous system. Microhydrin is the most powerful antioxidant known to man. One capsule is equivalent to 10,000 glasses of fresh squeezed organic orange juice.
