RETURN TO YOUR ROOTS DIABETES CONFERENCE
October 15th
--

A growing number of medical professionals are breaking ranks with the “status quo” on treating diabetes, its related diseases and alcoholism. Because carbohydrates are various sugar molecules, many medical professionals are focusing specifically on regulating carbohydrates and having a phenomenal success rate for reducing insulin resistance in Type I diabetics and eliminating the need for insulin therapy completely for Type II. Counselors are also finding that alcohol addiction symptoms can be greatly reduced through these same nutritional guidelines.

Because the modern diet is very high in carbohydrates and refined foods, studies have revealed that rates of these diseases among Native Americans rose in a "phenomenal rate" when introduced to the western diet. Further studies have proven reversing these diseases can be maintained through returning to natural food choices similar to the traditional diets of Indian peoples.

Return to your Roots Diabetes Conference will have professionals in this field who will also speak of diet guidelines which have lead their diabetic patients to a decline of atherosclerosis symptoms, a drop in cholesterol and triglyceride levels and lower-density lipids (LDL—the bad fats); and how it caused higher-density lipids (HDL– the good cholesterol) to rise.

Alpha lapoic acid supplement and its biochemistry will be discussed and what health benefits it may have on such diseases as kidney & liver disease, heart disease; and diabetes and circulatory problems related to diabetes.

Discussions will be given on what traditional foods Native American’s ate, which in many cases included more protein and less carbohydrates; and how they prepared them in a healthier fashion than today’s fast food preparations.

Professionals will also speak on the relationship to sugar addiction and its connection to alcoholism among Native Americans and how success rates rise dramatically in treating alcoholism through nutrition guidelines.
