DIABETES
MELLITUS AND THE ROLE OF INTERCELLULAR ACTIVATION THERAPY "iCAT"
(VitalCare Diabetes Treatment Centers)
Insulin keeps Diabetes Sufferers Alive, But it’s Not a Cure.
All diabetics, no matter how healthy they may seem, may have already
developed an advanced secondary medical complication or will begin
developing a secondary medical complication as a result of their
diabetes. Some diabetics develop these secondary medical conditions more
quickly than others, based on their diet, exercise and lifestyle,
including alcohol and tobacco consumption. Poor metabolism attacks the
diabetic at his or her weakest points. There are two different types of
diabetic people. Type 1, "juvenile onset" diabetics (also occurs in
adults) fail to produce either enough insulin or none at all. Type 2,
“adult onset” diabetics are able to produce insulin but are slow to
release insulin and are therefore considered “insulin resistant”. Both
types of diabetes are not just conditions of insufficient insulin, they
are diseases of improper cellular metabolism. That is the technical
definition of diabetes, a “Disease of Metabolism”.
A Totally Pervasive Disease. Perhaps unlike any other
disease, diabetes adversely affects all aspects of the diabetic and his
or her whole family. All aspects of life are virtually controlled by
diabetes. Eating, sleeping, physical activities, sexual function, work,
travel, and the overall way that diabetic person feels, are dependent on
controlling the disease, and require constant attention. A diabetic
person constantly works to maintain his or her blood sugar level within
a “tight range” as this is all that they can try to do. There are no
vacations from this disease, even for a few hours.
Large swings in blood sugar level for the non-iCAT diabetic
patient affects them much the same way as a "normal" person gets hunger
pangs, becomes agitated, or when full after finishing a meal, gets
tired, except that a diabetic’s mood swings or levels of consciousness
are more pronounced and there is no rest from their daily struggle of
trying to maintain this “tight control” over their blood sugar level
with food and/or insulin injections. Their entire endocrine system,
specifically their liver and pancreas, as well as the digestive tract of
a normal person maintains these complex biochemical balances
automatically, when they have a normal food “fuel” intake from a
balanced diet and normal levels of insulin to maintain proper metabolic
function, while the diabetic suffers from wide swings in blood sugar
levels do to dysfunctional systems and processes
