How To Get Off Diabetic Drugs: What the evidence shows Sherry A. Rogers, M.D., ABEM, ABFP, ACAAI, FACN Prestigepublishing.com What could be wrong with our current treatment? • Practice guidelines are focused on drug “management”, not reducing drugs • 87% of “experts” who make guidelines are financially linked to pharmaceutical industry (JAMA 287;5:612, 2002) • Less than 11% of cardiologists’ Rx are based on science, the rest on pharmaceutical influence (WSJ, Feb. 25, 2009, Mar. 29, 2011) The facts of diabetes management • None of the diabetes drugs promotes longevity, but only make labs, like FBS and Hgb A1C look better • In fact, intensive lowering of Hgb A1C with drugs increases the death rate 22% • After 3 ½ years on Rx drugs the death rate was higher than without any drugs (NEJM 2008, 2010) • After 5-8 years on a decades leading diabetes prescription medication, the death rate was 2 ½ times higher for folks on Rx drugs than for folks on diet only (PDR 2001) Metformin (leading diabetes Rx) • Glucophage, Fortemet, Glumetza, Riomet, and combos like glipizide & metformin, glyburide & metformin (Glucovance), ACTOplus met, Avandamet, Janumet • Raises homocysteine, lowers folate & B12 • Last 3 combo Rxs increase fractures 43% • Avandia doubles heart attack, raises LDL, CHF & anemia, pulmonary edema, cancer, NASH • Newer Rx drugs can lead to 30-43% more MI, 17% increased death (NEJM 2007, JAMA 2010) ACCORD Study, NEJM 2008 • 10,000 pts. with all the best drugs for 3 ½ yrs, lowering HGB A1C increased death 22% • Drugs increased renal failure 37% (dialysis costs over $60,000/yr), increased retinopathy, weight gain heart attacks, vision loss, heart failure and cancer • In 2010, pts. taking blood pressure meds for 5 years had no reduction in heart attacks or death • But Rxs increased their dementia 50% (NEJM 2008). Rx drugs = 50% increase in brain loss !! So what lowers Hgb A1C naturally ? • ALC, R-LA, Mg, C, D, gamma tocopherol, DHA, biotin, CoQ10, P5P, and much more, depending on individual deficiencies • i.e., P5P traps glycated (fried) proteins & guides them out of the cell and prevents albuminuria. P5P deficit is a 100% identifier for Alzheimer’s • But B6 cannot convert to P5P w/o zinc, which is lower in diabetics and depleted by Rx meds like statins, phthalates, HMT, processed foods diet, depleted soils, etc. • Once on drugs it is a vicious downward cycle that depletes nutrients faster, fostering chronicity What about just plain glucose control? Examples: • R-LA, zinc, Mg, E-8, selenium, D, K, EPA/DHA, PC, Mn, CoQ10, chromium, vanadium, biotin, B1, and more are all essential to reverse IR (insulin resistance), metabolic syndrome and diabetes • Insulin mimics: selenium, chromium, vanadium, biotin and manganese (known over 30 years) • But vanadium or biotin assays should include B-OH-butyrate, B-OH-isovalerate, as functional assay examples to repair deficiencies • As well, Vitamin K regulates insulin, CHO genes, and metabolic syndrome (undercarboxylated osteocalcin is the best test, and a surreptitious test of physician with knowledge gaps that promote chronicity of disease) Diabetes, metabolic syndrome X, insulin resistance, NASH • All often share hypertension, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, stubborn obesity, low HDL • Yet treatment with top drugs does not help • 77% diabetics are Mg deficient. Often Mg def. causes HBP, but diuretics lower Mg more. Yet insulin resistance requires Mg to correct it. • Meanwhile lower Mg promotes chronicity via higher sugar, hgb A1C, insulin resistance, blood pressure and more Rx meds, plus arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest • NSAIDs are major cause HBP (yet OTC and rarely addressed) Yet as magnesium lowers • Creates arrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation • Treated with coumadin that poisons vitamin K2, pulls calcium out of bone, dumps it in coronary arteries and heart valves, leads to valve replacement, stents (given no choice of “bare”) • But DES has 30% increased death at 3 years. • High profile clinic record reviews show no RBC magnesium assay nor UnOs. So meanwhile patient is destined for ablation, a permanent heart destruction that is not even FDA approved. When the heart is broken, you need to identify and correct nutrient deficiencies, then safely get rid of the toxins that poisoned the heart muscle and its nerves. Taken with permission from prestigepublishing.com Diabetes, metabolic syndrome X, insulin resistance, NASH • Often share hypertension, high cholesterol, triglycerides, obesity, low HDL • Statins for lipids raise PSA, lower CoQ10, E, selenium, zinc (D6D), poison insulin receptors on cell membranes • Statins are a known CAUSE of diabetes, depression, cancer, cardiac disease, Alzheimer’s, sudden amnesia • But tocotrienols, for example are natural HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, without poisoning hepatic gene and all of statins’ other side effects Common Rx drugs and toxins create & worsen diabetes • Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome X, Insulin resistance, NASH, hypertension, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, obesity, low HDL, Alzheimer’s, & cancer are all related • • Giving CoQ10 has lowered glucose 31% yet blood pressure & statin drugs deplete CoQ10 • DHA lowers glucose, restores insulin sensitivity to membranes (and is a natural ACE inhibitor, inhibits sudden MI 45%, stops arrhythmias w/o destructive ablation, reverses Alzheimer’s amyloid, etc.) • Yet statins poison DHA conversion • Phthalates clearly create diabetes, poison DHA, Boxidation, create insulin resistance, NASH, cancer, etc. A peak into the future reveals • the future has been here all along • We have 2 choices: • (1) Turn off broken pathways with drugs and perpetuate chronic disease (the #1killer), or • (2) Reverse deficiencies and toxicities, and reverse recalcitrant “chronic” disease • For 3 decades we have had the tools with which to heal the impossible Diabetes, metabolic syndrome X, insulin resistance, NASH related • But…as examples, vitamin D3 restores insulin receptors only if in top quintile (JNB 2010). Yet commercial labs’ cut-off “norm” is for rickets prevention only, not for reversing diabetes • Labs w/o quintiles have very limited usefullness • Vitamin K2 is crucial for reversal of all these diseases (JACN 2009). But…. Rx coumadin poisons K promoting diabetes, osteoporosis, coronary valve and coronary artery calcifications • (best fxn. test is undercarboxylated osteocalcin) Diabetics’ complications are not inevitable, but the result of drug-driven medicine with • • • • • 80% more heart attack, CHF, arrhythmias 80% more cancer Retinopathy and blindness PVD, gangrene, amputations 1 in 3 gets renal failure, dialysis leads to aluminum toxicity, Alzheimer’s • Infections, other auto-immune diseases • Worsening of disease out of control, Death • All because of failure to look for and repair the underlying biochemical causes Columbia University researchers show 95% of all disease has only 2 causes: • Diet and nutrient deficiencies • Environmental toxins, ubiquitous and unavoidable, Rx meds, food additives • Taken by permission from Detoxify Or Die, prestigepublishing.com How do we create diabetes in the lab ? • • • • • • By using FDA approved processed food products and prescriptions medications, as examples, High fructose corn syrup (used to create lab animals with diabetes) High n-6, n-7, n-9, or n-0 to n-3 EFA ratio Trans fats (“No trans fats” is meaningless since Federal Register re-definition) Statins, anti-psychotic Rx, ACE inhib, etc. Heavy metals like ubiquitous arsenic, etc. But #1 is the category of phthalates/BPA How do we create diabetes ? • Using a dose of phthalates 5 times lower than EPA “safe” level creates diabetes in just 4 days (from government leading journal EHP 2006) • Ubiquitous, unavoidable, in everyone • Even wild animals in pristine areas are toxic • Harvard researchers tell us decades ago there is no safe level of phthalates • Phthalates poison fundamental B-oxidation of EFA in every cell, can create any disease • Recycling concentrates phthalates in products Phthalates • “No BPA” as misleading as “No trans fats” • Are also EEDs, damage membranes, mitochondria, calcium channels, & glands • Cell membrane n-3/n-6 ratios have changed 60x, most cells are starving • Program fetus for adult prostate, breast , and other cancers, recalcitrant obesity • Damages brain development, mimics autism (Harvard study) Heavy metals, ubiquitous • Arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, aluminum, etc. all solo can create diabetes and all its precursor diseases and sequelae • 2003 NEJM proved lead’s 10 mcg/dL cutoff is not “normal”, but clearly damages brains. But “authorities” cling to this antiquated “norm” a decade later Routine IV chelation unnecessarily loads body with phthalates and cardiotoxic cyclohexanone, and forces dose through organs unprepared and usually untested for detoxication capability and readiness • Caveat: Is useful for emergency chelation circumstances, but these even moreso need extensive assay of detoxification capability • PR and PO program is 5X cheaper, safer, nonprescription, and with better results • Barry YA, et al., Perioperative exposure to plasticizers in patients undergoing cardio-pulmonary bypass, J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg, 97:900-905, 1989 The 10 Reasons why diabetics are not cured • No assay of underlying deficiencies, i.e. • Minerals like chromium, vanadium, manganese, etc. are essential to correct, even for precursor hypoglycemia, before diabetes is diagnosed, or selenium to reverse SVT, thyroidism, or PSA • Vitamins like B1 to reverse renal failure, B6 to reverse neuropathy, lutein to reverse macular degeneration, tocotrienols to reverse BNP, gamma tocopherol to reverse abnl. clotting, etc. • EFA must also be balanced. DHA has corrected insulin resistance, arrhythmia, memory loss, etc. The 10 Reasons why diabetics are not cured • Failure to assay organic acids. Absolute nutrient levels inferior to functional assays which show individual needs • i.e., ethylmalonate: shows need for Acetyl LCarnitine, crucial for glucose & Hbg A1C control, neuropathy, insulin resistance, obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, dementia, etc. • B-hydroxyisovalerate: crucial for biotin (controls CHO) • B-hydroxybutyrate: for vanadium & chromium • Quinolinate: a predictor of brain deterioration, often merely failure of B6 to convert to active P5P (requires zinc, but is depleted by statins, phthalates, diabetes,etc.) The #1 reason why diabetics are not cured • Failure to correct pancreas gland mitochondria and membrane insulin receptors • Most diabetic membranes are simultaneously starving for the correct EFA, and choked with the wrong (n-6, n-9,7,0) fats • Failure to do the “oil change” to create 4:1 ratio, plus correct “innards” of phosphatidyl choline, PS, Mg, and deficiency of 8 forms of vitamin E inside the bilayer “membrane sandwich” The 10 Reasons why diabetics are not cured • Failure to heal gut which houses ½ the immune and ½ the detox systems for whole body • D-arabinitol: suggests Candida overgrowth which can produce thiaminase that destroys B1 leading to dialysis, thyroiditis, IBS, CHF, poor absorption, new food allergies as NS cause arthritis, more auto-immune diseases, etc. • Indican: indicates dysbiosis at pancreas level • Tricarballyate: inhibits magnesium absorption • Hippurates: consume glycine needed for ROS, sepsis, bile, neurotransmitters, detoxification, etc. If the gut isn't healthy, then nothing else can heal, for it houses half the detoxification system and half the infection-fighting immune system, 95% neurotransmitters, etc. taken from Detoxify or Die by permission from prestigepublishing.com But when patient is hypothyroid from phthalate EED • (1) Need to repair the gland (selenium, iodine, manganese, zinc, PC, etc.) not poison further production forever with thyroid prescription • (2) Need to repair thyroid receptors in membrane so if hormone is given it can work. Otherwise, hormones mysteriously fail. • And quality nutrients have to be able to “flip-flop” or oscillate to work (no cheap synthetics). • No such thought process is in mentioned in any practice guidelines The 10 Reasons why diabetics are not cured • Failure to heal the body energy source, the mitochondria where most disease starts, i.e. phosphatidyl serine, silica, PC, arginine, etc. • Failure to detoxify at least phthalates and heavy metals and drug residues, since they are all used to create diabetes in the lab • Failure to address mind, memory, motivation and mood, and body mechanics • The ease of working blindly as a legal drug dispenser, promoted by insurances & guidelines The 10 Reasons why diabetics are not cured 1.Vitamins, 2. Minerals, and amino acids plus 3. Fatty acids to fix what’s broken, heal gland, must flip-flop 4. Organic acids reveal individual needs above RDA 5. Membrane receptors (for insulin, hormones, cytokines) must account for “unseen” deficiencies 6. Gut cleanse, food allergies, diet 7. Mitochondrial repair 8. Detoxification, environmental controls 9. Mind, motivation, mood, memory, body mechanics 10. Ease of “mindless medicine”, is what insurance and practice guidelines dictate, and pharma controls them Disease starts in the Mitochondria • Kidney bean-shaped little organelles inside all of our cells • It is where God’s miracle occurs where food molecules are turned into the electrical/chemical energy called ATP that defines “life” itself. • Life is ATP, for when it stops being made, we are dead, the electricity has stopped flowing. Mitochondria • Is a massive array of folded membranes, having the highest membrane density of anything else inside the cell. • Diabetes starts with failing mitochondria • Are more highly vulnerable to destruction from free radicals or naked electrons that are the result of the chemistry of living, repair, and detoxification • Free radicals eat or drill holes in mitochondrial membranes, ruining their ability to make ATP for energy, repair, detoxification or conduct the electricity of life. So in essence, • We are as healthy as our mitochondria Over 30 years of evidence and clinical experience for reversal of diabetes, dropping medications • Lombardo, Effects of dietary n-3 PUFA n-3 fatty acids on dyslipidemia and insulin resistance in rodents and humans, J Nutr Biochem 17, 2006 • Nakamura, Pyridoxal phosphate prevents progression of diabetic nephropathy, Nephr Dialysis Transpl 22, 2007 • Babaei-Jadidi, Prevention of the incipient diabetic nephropathy by high-dose thiamine and benfotiomine, Diabetes, 52:2003 • ALC, B1, P5P, E-8, R-LA, biotin, B1, DHA, Chrom, Mg, Vanadium, Zinc, K2, D3, Selenium, etc. reverse peripheral neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, cardiac autonomic neuropathy, retinopathy, all diabetic precursors, parameters and complications. Old rats “doing the macarena” after their mitochondria were restored • One A-OX restored energy, reversed biochemical signs of age damage and reversed aging brain function, but it must be made in healthy mitochondria • R-Lipoic Acid is one nutrient example crucial to stop all diabetes complications, highly referenced • Hagen TM, Ames AB, et al, ®-alpha-lipoic acid-supplemented old rats have improved mitochondrial function, decreased oxidative damage, and increased metabolic rate.
