Diabetes and Want Detox
Diabetes and Want Detox
(https://www.deathtodiabetes.com/)
If you have been eating a lot of animal meat and processed foods over the
years or if you have been taking a lot of medications for your diabetes, then, a
diabetes cleanse and detox can help you.
However, please keep in mind that many of these detox methods are either
not effective or not safe, especially if you have Type 2 diabetes or some other
disease.
And, because it is very important that you cleanse and detox properly in
order to achieve any health benefits, this led the author to identify the most
effective ways in his Diabetic Cleanse and Detox book
(https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/cleanse-and-detox-book/).
Key Point #1: Despite what you have heard, it is your excretory organs (e.g.
colon, liver, kidneys, etc.) that perform the actual cleanse and detoxification
process. However, if you are fighting a disease like Type 2 diabetes, then, your
excretory organs may not be performing at their optimum levels and may
need some help.
As a result, it may be necessary to provide the proper nourishment to your
organs so that they can do their job, which includes cleansing and
detoxifying your cells and tissues.
Key Point #2: Cleanse and detox pills, supplements, bottled juices and other
fad products do not “cleanse and detox” your body. In fact, some of these
products contain chemicals that can put a strain on your liver, colon, or other
organs.
Instead, rely on whole foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits and organic
herbs to provide the critical nutrients to your organs instead of man-made
synthetic foods and chemicals.
Key Point #3: As you can see there are a lot of ways to cleanse and detox the
body. However, instead of using some random detox method, the most
effective approach to an effective cleanse and detox is to use a science-based
holistic cleanse and detox program that addresses all areas of your life.
But, my blood sugar level didn’t return to the high levels. Instead, my blood
sugar kept doing down — I had an average blood sugar of 87.5 mg/dl and
my hemoglobin A1C was down to 4.9%.
I can’t give all the credit for my recovery to the raw juice and smoothie detox.
I was also eating healthier meals (lots of green veggies, salads, soups, etc.)
and exercising 5 to 6 times a week.
A few years after that, several clients asked me to provide more detail in my
diabetes book about raw juicing and cleanse-detox therapies. But, there was
no room to add the level of detail they wanted in my diabetes book. After I
did some additional research about juicing, I wrote the Power of Raw Juicing
book (https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/diabetes-juicing-book/).
(https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/diabetes-juicing-book/)
Later that year, after completing some additional research about holistic
cleanse and detox therapies, I wrote the Cleanse and Detox book
(https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/cleanse-and-detox-book/).
(https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/cleanse-and-detox-book/)
Interestingly, over the years, the juicing book and detox book have become
two of my more popular books — for both diabetics and non-diabetics.
Let’s take a car that has not had an oil change or engine tune-up and has
been running on cheap fuel for several years. If you switch from the cheap
fuel to a higher-octane “super” fuel, the car may run a little better, but it will
still run sluggish. Once you change the oil and air filters and tune up the
engine, the car will run even better.
The same principle applies to the human body – if you clean the filters (the
kidneys and liver), then, this will help them to remove the buildup of toxins
and waste and kill the pathogenic bacteria and parasites so that the body
will run better.
If you are overweight by more than 20 pounds, more than likely, you are
carrying as much as ten pounds of fecal matter packed in your colon.
If you are also struggling with high cholesterol or high blood pressure, then,
your body is carrying extra fluid/waste in your cells and tissues.
Consequently, cleansing the liver and kidneys, your body’s primary filters, will
help the body to better release this extra fluid/waste.
This will thin out the blood, hydrate cells, break down fats, absorb protein,
and convert glycogen to glucose. And, in most cases, cleansing will help to
lower blood pressure, inflammation, cholesterol, glucose levels, and body
weight.

If some of these toxins may affect our other systems including the circulatory
system, muscular system, integumentary system (skin), and skeletal system.
As you can imagine, these toxins have led to many diseases and disorders
associated with the various systems of our body, starting with the endocrine
system (due to endocrine disruptors) and digestive system, nervous system
and immune system.
Primary sources of these toxins come from the food we eat, the water we
drink, the cookware that we use, the air we breathe, the carpet on our floors,
the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, places where we work and shop … the
list goes on and on …
Here are some preventive measures to help you reduce your exposure to
toxic chemicals in your food, drugs and environment.
Eat wild-caught Alaskan salmon and sardines; and, avoid the conventional
or farm-raised fish, which are often heavily contaminated with PCBs and
mercury.
Eat certified organic grass-fed meats and dairy to reduce your exposure to
hormones, pesticides and fertilizers. Avoid cow’s milk and other dairy
products containing genetically engineered recombinant bovine growth
hormone (rBGH or rBST).
Filter your tap water for both drinking and bathing. If you can only afford to
do one, filtering your bathing water may be more important, as your skin
readily absorbs contaminants. If your tap water is fluoridated, keep in mind
that not all filter systems will filter out this toxic additive.
Herbs and herbal products may contain harmful chemicals if the herbs
(https://www.deathtodiabetes.com/blog/herbs-and-spices-health-benefits/)
are not grown and harvested properly. Use only organic products from a
reputable herbal company.
Avoid OTC drugs and prescription drugs as much as possible. Drugs may
seem harmless on the surface, but, they put a toll on your liver and kidneys.
Ironically, your liver and kidneys are two of the major organs that try to help
you in fighting your diabetes …
Here are some lifestyle and environmental changes that can help you with
an effective cleanse and detox strategy.
Store your food and beverages in glass, rather than plastic, and avoid using
plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Use glass baby bottles.
Buy products in glass bottles rather than plastic or cans, as chemicals can
leach out of plastics (and plastic can linings), into the contents; be aware that
even “BPA-free” plastics typically leach endocrine-disrupting chemicals that
are just as bad.
Use cast-iron or ceramic or glass cookware; get rid of any nonstick pots and
pans.
Make sure your baby’s toys are BPA-free, such as pacifiers, teething rings
and anything your child may be prone to suck or chew on — even books,
which are often plasticized. It’s advisable to avoid all plastic, especially flexible
varieties.
Use a fabric shower curtain or install glass doors. Get rid of your vinyl shower
curtain.
Use natural cleaning products or make your own. Avoid those containing 2-
butoxyethanol (EGBE) and methoxydiglycol (DEGME) — two toxic glycol
ethers that can compromise your fertility and cause fetal harm.
Replace feminine hygiene products (tampons and sanitary pads) with safer
alternatives.
Please Note: Even if you are able to do all of this, you should still perform a
periodic cleanse and detox to help your liver, colon and kidneys remove the
toxins that accumulate in your body’s cells and tissues (see below for details).
In many cases, blood sugar problems, weight gain, and chronic fatigue issues
are due to the body’s excess toxic load, which prevents proper metabolism
and consistent energy production within your cells.
So, by helping your body release the excess toxins carried within your fat
cells, you can increase metabolism to support weight loss as part of the
detox process (https://www.deathtodiabetes.com/cleanse-and-detox/detox-
for-weight-loss/).
Now, you may be asking “What do fat cells have to do with lowering my
blood sugar levels?”
And, in the meantime, the liver is under a tremendous strain because it’s
processing the food and the medications while dealing with the problems
associated with diabetes.
Also, depending on the person’s specific pathology, other organs such as the
colon, kidneys, lymphatic system, pancreas and brain may also be struggling
with functioning properly.
Another study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29124370/) indicated
that juicing or detoxification diets help to lose weight, but, when returning
to a normal diet, it must be macronutrient-balanced to prevent the weight
from being regained.
If there is a major bacterial infection, virus, or introduction of a toxin (such as
a vaccine, antibiotic, NSAID or other prescription drug), this may trigger a
faulty immune response and lead to a food allergy or an autoimmune
disease (https://www.deathtodiabetes.com/blog/autoimmune-diseases-
natural-treatments/) such as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
(https://www.deathtodiabetes.com/blog/thyroid-disease-natural-
treatments/).
For diabetics who are not eating properly and exercising on a consistent
basis, their excess toxic load is definitely affecting their liver and other
organs, preventing proper metabolism and energy production. For diabetics
who are eating properly and exercising, their toxic load may be less, but, it
may still affect their liver and other organs.
More importantly, this also prevents diabetics from being able to control
their blood sugar naturally, because their bodies are under such a
tremendous toxic load.
These biochemical processes help to prevent and fight diseases like Type 2
diabetes on a continual basis and to keep the body as healthy as possible.
These cleanse-and-detoxification processes are optimized when you eat
healthy foods and exercise on a consistent basis.
Unfortunately, after a period of years of abuse, our bodies pay a heavy toll for
living a sedentary lifestyle and eating unhealthy convenience foods, fast
foods, and processed foods. As a result, a periodic cleanse and detoxification
can be beneficial.
FYI: Did you know that the brain has it’s own lymphatic system to help with
its won detoxification? This is very important especially if you are dealing
with the early stages of dementia! Don’t wait for full-blown Alzheimer’s to
set in!

Liver
Colon
Kidneys
Gallbladder
Pancreas
Lymphatic system
The liver is the primary organ that performs the detoxification. The liver
accomplishes this by using specific enzymes to breakdown these toxins into
harmless water-soluble substances that are then excreted in the bile or urine.
But, if the liver becomes sluggish, clogged, or impaired, these toxins can
begin to accumulate in the body’s tissues and blood.
But many of the other toxins are left behind and reabsorbed into the
bloodstream attacking the tissues and organs, and producing their own
pathogenic bacteria that attack the body’s weakest points.
These attacks manifest themselves in the form of aches and pain in the back,
joints, stomach, and head, and, then onto the other tissues and organs.
This leads to more discomfort and more drugs, followed by more diseases,
stronger drugs, hospital visits, and eventually death – unless the toxins are
removed.
The kidneys are important to cleansing and detoxification because they
filter the blood (210 quarts a day) by eliminating toxins and waste materials
from the blood.
These electrolytes are important because they are used by the cells to
maintain voltages across the cell membranes and carry electrical impulses
(e.g. nerve impulses, muscle contractions) across themselves and to other
cells.
The kidneys also help regulate other bodily functions by secreting the
hormones renin, erythropoietin, and prostaglandin.
The high levels of glucose in the blood and the accumulation of acids in the
kidneys cause the formation of kidney stones and ultimately cause kidney
cells to die.
In order to help with the filtering process, the heart increases the flow of
blood plasma to the kidneys, which in turn elevates blood pressure. As the
kidney cells continue to die, the risk of kidney failure increases dramatically.
Lymphatic vessels are situated alongside blood vessels, relying upon body
movement to move the lymph fluid around to collect and drain away toxins
and dead bacteria through the lymph nodes and skin (pores).
Another system that is overlooked when it comes to cleanse and detox is the
immune system.
When you cleanse and detox to remove toxins from your cells and tissues,
your immune system (https://www.deathtodiabetes.com/blog/strengthen-
immune-system-for-diabetics/) won’t have to waste energy trying to fight off
the toxins that have accumulated in your cells and tissues.
As a result, this frees up your immune system to fight off harmful bacteria,
viruses, other pathogens, cancer, and other diseases.
Please Note: As depicted in the detox flow diagram (below), the DTD Cleanse
& Detox Program goes far beyond these organs to provide a
more comprehensive detox program that addresses the major detox
pathways within the body.
Do you know the three most powerful nutrients for cleanse and detox? If not,
get the detox book, or attend one of our free seminars.
Diabetes Detox:
If you want to perform a full diabetes body detox, get the Diabetic Cleanse
and Detox book (https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/cleanse-and-detox-
book/) to decrease the toxic load in your cells. In the meantime, add some
detox foods (https://www.deathtodiabetes.com/diabetic-diet/top-10-detox-
foods/) to your meal plan, e.g. green veggies, black beans, green
smoothies, filtered water, etc.
This will help to rest your organs and prevent diabetic complications as
well as prevent your immune system from becoming weak, especially
during flu season.
Note: If you have an autoimmune disease, PCOS, or if you have issues with
your thyroid, get the How to Treat Autoimmune Diseases, PCOS & Thyroid
Issues Naturally book (https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/autoimmune-aip-
thyroid-diseases-book/). This book explains how to treat the more common
autoimmune diseases as well as how to optimize the health of your thyroid.
Diabetic to Diabetic-in-Remission
The Death to Diabetes Cleanse-Detox Program can help you to enjoy these
health benefits and more.
In addition, this program addresses how to detox your mind and handle your
self-esteem, emotions, attitude, internal talk-track, self-motivation, and
negative people.
Again, this is an area that most detox programs ignore! If your mind is full of
negative thoughts and full of hopelessness, you are not going to be
motivated to change and stick with those changes to your diet and lifestyle.
Also, make sure that you avoid some of the common detox mistakes
(https://www.deathtodiabetes.com/cleanse-and-detox/detox-mistakes/), such
as using fad detox products. These products tend to contain toxins and other
chemicals that can destabilize your blood sugar levels.
Other organs and tissues need to be cleansed and detoxified, including the
brain, lungs, arteries, and joints.
The following detox flow chart depicts the overall process and steps involved
in the Death to Diabetes Cleanse and Detox Program.
Next Steps: Cleanse and Detox Program
In addition to the colon, liver and kidneys, the Diabetic Cleanse & Detox
10-Step Program/Book (https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/cleanse-and-
detox-book/) addresses the lymphatic system, arteries, brain, pancreas,
skin, joints, lungs, and your emotions.
This comprehensive diabetes detox process not only helps your liver, colon
and kidneys, but, it helps your other organs.
In addition, because a detox helps to release toxins from your fat cells, this
can facilitate weight loss and improved blood sugar control.
So, get the engineer’s Diabetic Cleanse & Detox book
(https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/cleanse-and-detox-book/) to help
cleanse and detoxify your body and your cells..

And, if you’re just getting started with managing your diabetes, then, get the
engineer’s Death to Diabetes book
(https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/reverse-diabetes-book/).
This book identifies the real root causes of your Type 2 diabetes and explains
how to address these root causes naturally with balanced meal planning,
super foods, blood glucose testing, and emotional support.
(https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/reverse-diabetes-book/)
If you have a juicer or blender, then, get the Raw Juicing book
(https://shop.deathtodiabetes.com/diabetes-juicing-book/). to help you with
detox and stabilizing your blood sugar.
If you prefer to use a raw food or vegetarian diet to help stabilize your blood
sugar and detox, then, get the Raw Food Diet book

For example, some fad detox programs cause fast weight loss, but, after you
finish the detox, you regain the weight. Or, if you’re diabetic, the detox may
cause your blood sugar to spike.
When I was diabetic, there were times when I struggled with getting my
blood glucose to come down. At other times, I struggled with unstable blood
glucose levels, where my blood glucose would spike for no reason.
This was very frustrating, especially when I thought that I was doing
everything correctly in terms of eating right and exercising.
During my research, I discovered that after some people with diabetes had
started to eat well as part of a Diabetes Type 2 Diet Plan, they eventually
reached a “wall” where they were unable to lower their blood glucose level
below a certain point
In other cases, they were getting unexplained blood glucose spikes for no
apparent reason.
If some people found it almost impossible lose any more weight. Why does
this happen? How can this be fixed?
As it turned out (in my case), after years of eating a lot of processed foods
and taking a lot of medications, various toxins from the food and
medications collect in your tissues, especially your fat cells!
And, your body will do everything in its power to hold those toxins in your
fat cells, preventing you from burning fat and losing weight — especially in
the belly area.
At the time, I didn’t really like the idea of doing a detox, because of my work
schedule. So, a friend who happened to be an herbalist, suggested that I try
a green smoothie every morning.
Wow!! After several days, I felt like a new man! I felt “lighter” and energized
like you wouldn’t believe! A year or so later, I tried the same thing, but it
didn’t give me the same boost.
By this time, I had a done quite a bit of research about various detox
methods. So, I tried some organic herbal detox products (from Herbdoc).
Wow! I had the same feeling of being lighter and energized.
