Cure For Diabetes? 5 Revealing Facts Your Doctor Has Missed

Is there a cure for diabetes? So many people are confused they're asking me

these questions because a lot of people are getting off medications they're

normalizing their blood sugars through lifestyle intervention through lifestyle

changes and yet their doctors are telling them that there is no cure

the official viewpoint is that this is a chronic incurable disease so what is it

how can people get these results today I'm going to talk about this and we're

gonna give you a different perspective so you're gonna have a whole new

viewpoint and a whole new outlook on this you're gonna like it stay tuned I'm

Dr. Sten Ekberg I'm a holistic doctor and a former Olympic decathlete and if

anything I did some research on diabetes cure and here's what WebMD.com says Is

there diabetes cure with all the research on diabetes and advances in

diabetes treatments it's tempting to think that someone would surely have

found a diabetes cure by now but the reality is that there is no cure for

diabetes neither type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes so let's just make it really

clear that for the purposes of this video we're talking about type 2

diabetes which is insulin resistance too much insulin type 1 is a completely

different thing and we'll do some other videos on that but that is a complete

lack of insulin so they're really two opposites we're going to talk about type

2 diabetes here so first we need to clarify some terms when they say is

there a diabetes cure what does the word cure actually mean so let's look at that

so I looked that up the official definition cure can be a verb or a noun

as a verb cure is to relieve a person of the symptoms of a disease and they say

that a synonym of of a cure is to heal or restore to

health so here's the problem they first of all they think that the cure is to

relieve the symptoms they think that if you have cured someone and relieve them

of a symptom then you have healed them they believe that health is merely the

absence of symptoms okay and that's the first problem they don't understand

physiology they don't understand that diseases develop as a result of a long

term imbalance for example a heart attack if someone gets a heart attack

that's the first symptom but this person spent 20-30 years developing the

physiology getting the body out of balance to the point where the heart

attack was inevitable and the heart attack was the first symptom but they

were unhealthy they were out of balance for 20-30 years so lack of symptoms does

not mean that you're healthy but when they're looking for a cure they're

simply looking for a way to relieve symptoms of a disease that's the

official definition and how are they looking to do that that comes in the

noun the cure can be a noun and now they're looking for a substance that

cures a disease and a synonym for the substance would be medicine or

medication so the only way that you can cure something is to treat a symptom

with a medication that is the definition of a cure is there a cure for diabetes

no absolutely not and we're not interested in a cure we're going to talk

about something completely different we're going to talk about reversing

diabetes and we're going to talk about five facts five truths five realizations

that is going to completely change the picture on how you look at these things

first we have to understand the word cure is not what we're looking for that

the cure is not about reversing a disease and that's why

they will never find a cure and will well get into that they will never be a

pill to restore health there may be a pill to treat a symptom but again

they're not going to change the underlying conditions and this is what

we're going to talk about here's a big one for you the number two fact you have

to understand is type 2 diabetes is not a disease

and now you're going hey whoa now you lost me you made some sense from time to

time but here you're just really getting off so what do I mean type 2 is not a

disease well let's talk about that and we need to understand a few things as

part of that that it's not a disease it's a physiological adaptation okay

it's not a disease because there's nothing broken there's nothing missing

the body parts are still there the pancreas is still making insulin but the

body is responding it's adapting to something that brings us to part three

that the body is smart it has homeostasis this the body isn't

random everything the body does is on purpose everything that gets out of

balance in the body is because something is making it go out of balance

something is pushing it out of balance there is a principle in the body called

homeostasis and that's the principle of balance that's the principle of healing

that the body will always attempt to return to homeostasis homeostasis is

balance something pushes it out of balance as soon as the push is gone as

soon as the pushing factor is gone the body returns to homeostasis that's sort

of like gravity that gravity works on water a spring a water stream coming

down a mountainside will always attempt to bring that water down to sea level

always no exceptions the body will always attempt

to return to homeostasis just like the water returns to the sea the body

returns to homeostasis gravity doesn't work sometimes healing doesn't work

sometimes physiology doesn't work sometimes it always works that's just

the way it is it's built into the fabric of nature that your body is designed to

do the right thing for the right reasons if it appears that it's not doing the

right things there is a factor there's something creating an imbalance okay so

we have to get to that understanding of the body's innate intelligence the

principle of homeostasis and that physiology is this principle it's these

factors it's the study these factors that that guide healing that guide

homeostasis if type-2 diabetes is not a disease then

what is it it is an adaptation what is an adaptation it's when your body adapts

it copes it's changes in response to something so let's take a few examples

just to make you more familiar with that what is hypertrophy it's when something

grows larger so a bodybuilder he puts pressure he puts stress on his muscles

he puts a tremendous stress repeated many times many hours a day and now the

body senses hey you know if I'm going to be able to keep up with this work in the

future I have to change I have to build more muscle I have to create more muscle

fiber so I can cope better with this stress in the future that's an

adaptation that growing muscle is an adaptation to an imposed demand we have

pushed the muscle and the muscle responds the opposite happens with

someone who's a couch potato or if you break your arm or you break a leg and

you put a cast on it now when you take that cast off a couple

months later there's virtually no muscle left there is atrophy because when we

don't use the muscle the body senses hey you know this there's not much use for

this muscle tissue if this if the owner of this muscle isn't going to start

using it I'm going to downsize I'm going to down-regulate it I don't want to

spend precious resources rebuilding that muscle if it's not going to be used for

anything use it or lose it that's where hypertrophy and atrophy

comes in but everything the body does is in

response to something if you normally live at sea level and you have a certain

amount of red blood cells and then you move up in the mountains at 6,000 feet

above sea level what's going to happen your body is going to up regulate the

production of red blood cells so now all of a sudden you got 20% more red blood

cells why because there's less oxygen in the air that's the stress so there's an

imposed demand your body needs to make more red blood cells so you can still

transport the oxygen when there's not so much of it around that's an adaptation

it's a physiological adaptation so what does that have to do with with diabetes

well diabetes is a late stage result it's the late stage of insulin

resistance so when we eat things that trigger insulin primarily sugar and

carbohydrates then insulin production goes up if we do that six times a day

then insulin production goes up six times a day and insulin then starts

pushing blood sugar into the cell and the cell is grateful at first for this

fuel but then eventually when the cell has had enough fuel it starts resisting

it starts adapting it's a physiological adaptation because this

l can only use so much fuel so when there's more and more and more more

coming what's the cell going to do it's going to be smart it's going to be

intelligent it's gonna say enough is enough I'm gonna start closing down the

gate so I don't get flooded with all this fuel that's what insulin resistance

is it's not the body being stupid it's not the body being random or mistaken or

broken or flawed the body is doing exactly what it's supposed to when it's

being overwhelmed it's going to try to oppose that factor that's overwhelming

and it's going to become insulin resistance until that avalanche of fuel

and sugar starts to pull back so this is a crucial factor in the understanding of

holistic health that there are no mistakes in the body and there are

virtually no diseases as at least not when we're talking about functional

problems when we're talking about high blood sugar and diabetes and digestive

problems we're talking about functional problems we're talking about imbalances

that develop over time because we're pushing the body and the body is

adapting to respond so type 2 diabetes is not a disease it's a physiological

adaptation it's an intelligent response to an unbalanced environment and the

unbalanced environment is on modern food it's food that we have never ever seen

before it's in its carbohydrates and sugar and processed foods in amounts

that the human body has never experienced not even close so once we

understand that number four is more obvious it kind of follows that when

they say that there is no cure in the medical world they're right because what

would that mean if the body is always on purpose and it always returns to balance

then a cure would be a way of inventing a medication a substance that could

somehow make the body be happy out of balance that we keep insulting it with

an overwhelm with an avalanche of fuel and we expect to be able to create a

pill to maintain that imbalance and keep the body happy it can't work it won't

work because that would be like trying to find a cure for gravity we can't do

it there's never going to be a cure for physiology physiology is the body's

tendency to return to balance gravity is water's tendency to return to the sea we

won't find a cure we can't find a cure because it's not the way it's supposed

to be and if the water is held up by a dam then it can appear that the water

isn't returning to the sea for a while we can observe an imbalance we can

observe high blood pressure we can observe insulin resistance and in high

blood sugar but the moment that we remove the barrier the moment that we

remove the interference the factor that has been upsetting the balance then the

water starts flowing again we don't have to teach the water to flow again it

already knows how gravity never stops working

your body's healing your body's homeostasis never stops working because

it can't it's built in to the innate intelligence into the very fabric of

nature but it's easy to understand why there is so much confusion if we have

these two different worldviews if we on the one hand understand the innate

intelligence and homeostasis and on the other hand in the medical world they

believe that the body is random and that it's mistaken and that it breaks down

for no reason on occasion that it does stupid things that it randomly starts

resisting insulin so the official view of insulin resistance is that the cells

are no longer responding normally to

blood-glucose in other words the implied statement there is the cells are not

responding normally to normal food anymore and of course normal food today

is 300 grams of carbohydrates 170 grams of sugar and the food pyramid with the

base being starches okay of course if you believe that is normal food then

you're not going to understand anything that we're talking about here we have to

first put the body back in the picture of what is normal food for humans what

have we been eating for the longest time and we've discussed all these topics in

more detail on other video so feel free to check those out for the for the

complete version of each of these so this brings us to number five so that we

started out asking is there a cure for diabetes and we've pretty much come up

with based on the medical definition of a cure no there isn't

but once we understand that type-2 diabetes is not a disease it is a

physiological adaptation then number five becomes the obvious question can

you reverse a physiological adaptation yes

so adaptations are reversible and once we start understanding this then all

that it comes down to is that we want to reduce reverse the factors that forced

the adaptation in the first place so if you move up in the mountains and start

making more red blood cells you're and then you move back to sea level then

your body is going to start down regulating red blood cells because you

don't need so many anymore 20% less will do just fine at sea level and if you go

back in the mountains it'll start going back and forth back and forth it will do

it again because it's intelligent so if the insulin

resistance developed because we forced certain things on the body then the

moment we stop forcing it then it will start returning to homeostasis it's as

simple as that what does it mean then to stop the

factors it means eat less of the food that stimulates insulin and what is that

primarily sugars and processed starches any kind of starch really but but

especially processed starches so we want to eat less sugar we want to be moderate

to very little fruit if you're already insulin resistant we want to cut out

grains both processed and complex because there's very little difference

in blood sugar impact and we want to start eating more fats moderate protein

and more whole foods because they have the fiber and they have the whole

package of what you need we also want to eat less frequently because if you eat

something that stimulates insulin and then you do it once you get one burst of

insulin if you do it six times now you're pushing insulin six times you're

giving the read the cell six reasons to become insulin resistant the longer you

go between meals the bigger the chance the greater the opportunity for the cell

to start burning through some of that fuel so that maybe it gets hungry again

maybe it will want some fuel sometime in the future

so there's lots and lots of different videos we've done videos on each one of

these on lchf low carb high fat on ketogenic diet on intermittent fasting

so that's about reducing the the insulin production and the frequency and then of

course you also want to add in some exercise and some stress management

because exercise makes the muscles more insulin sensitive it gives your body a

chance to burn through some fuels besides all the other benefits of

exercise and become a little more insulin

sensitive and stress management is because stress produces higher blood

sugar stress causes cortisol releases and cortisol raises blood sugar which

raises insulin and you can actually become insulin-resistant pretty much

from stress alone the more of these things that you do the greater your

chance of reversing these adaptations so don't wait for a type-2 diabetes cure

and understand when they say that there is no cure understand why they're saying

that they're speaking a different language they're talking about a

substance to reduce a symptom whereas what you're really looking for is a

healing process it's a reversal of the adaptation and there's never going to be

a pill that can cure that can fix the homeostasis because the body is always

intelligent it's always adapting to the imbalance and if you have an imbalance

then just remove the cause for that imbalance and your body will go right

back to doing what it's supposed to do so both healing and gravity are laws of

nature they always work do we know if they're

going to work tomorrow we can't say for sure but my bet would be that gravity

and healing are still gonna work tomorrow
