Exercise and an Alkaline Diet May Reverse the Symptoms of Diabetes

Weight training works just as well as running on a
treadmill or biking to help the most important symptom
of type-2 diabetes -- long-term control of blood sugar --
Canadian researchers said on Monday.

Doing both aerobic and resistance training lowered
blood sugar levels better than either alone, researchers
said -- and both appeared to be safe.

At least 194 million people worldwide have diabetes,
and the World Health Organization expects the number
to rise to more than 300 million by 2025.

Most have type-2 diabetes, caused by a combination of
genetic predisposition, lack of exercise and a diet
rich in acidic foods. (For a list of acidic foods
and drinks that causes diabetes read the pH Miracle

Exercise -- the type that makes people breathe a
little heavily -- is known to reduce the risk of
type-2 diabetes and can improve the body's control
of sugar. But there were doubts about the safety
and effectiveness of weight training.

Dr. Ronald Sigal of University of Calgary and
colleagues at the University of Ottawa studied
251 people with type-2 diabetes aged 39 to 70.
None exercised regularly.

They assigned them to one of four groups -- one
that did 45 minutes of aerobic training three times
a week, another doing the same amount of resistance
training, a group that did both, for a total of an
hour and a half of exercise three days a week, and
a fourth group that did no extra exercise.

The exercisers used treadmills or exercise bikes,
or weight machines, at a health club. The volunteers
enjoyed the exercise and stuck with it, Sigal said.

"I think there is a widespread cynicism even among
medical people that people will actually exercise,"
Sigal said in a telephone interview.

They were given a diet to follow that should have
prevented any weight loss, and then their blood
sugar, cholesterol, weight and other vital statistics
were measured.

Blood sugar levels fell with exercise and most
importantly, hemoglobin A1c, which measures the
blood sugar average for the past 3 months, fell
by half a point on average in the people who did
one form of exercise and a full point in those
who did both.

A1c should be between 4 and 6 but the patients
started out with A1c values ranging from 6.6 to 9.9,
Sigal's team wrote in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

A one point drop in A1c is associated with a 15
percent to 20 percent decrease in major cardiovascular
events such as heart attack or stroke and a 37 percent
reduction in complications such as kidney, eyes and
limb damage.

"There were some who brought their A1c into the normal
range," Sigal said. Some also were able to lower their
doses of medications and many lost weight and body fat.

"Imagine an inexpensive pill that could decrease the
hemoglobin A1c value by 1 percentage point, reduce
cardiovascular death by 25 percent, and substantially
improve functional capacity (strength, endurance,
and bone density)," Dr. William Kraus of Duke Medical
School and Dr. Benjamin Levine of the University of
Texas Southwestern Medical Center wrote in a
commentary.

They said doctors should prescribe exercise to every
diabetes patient.

One of the best forms of low impact exercise for
diabetics is whole body vibration. This type of
exercise is highly effective because it exercises
every cell in the body simultaneously helping
to release acidic wastes products that can lead
to sickness and dis-ease.

In two controlled clinical studies, Dr. Robert O.
Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle
Living Center, has found that a diet rich in
alkaline foods and drinks, exercise, proper rest
and reduced stress will reverse the symptoms of 96%
of Type II diabetics and 83% of Type I diabetics,
showing normal blood sugars and normal A1c's,
without medications. All the participants who
were over-weight lost an average of 1 pound a day.
