Gaining weight is highly stressful to your body.? Sooner or later it is likely to break down in response to the stress and “give up” trying to cope with the abuse.? Western Medicine marks such a tipping point with the label type 2 diabetes, which essentially means your ability to regulate blood sugar is more or less broken.? In reality, it was heading that direction as your fasting blood sugar elevates above 90.? A new study shows that taking off a significant chunk of weight over a two-year period can reverse the diabetes and/or prevent it, even if you still have more weight to lose. This new study is consistent with my clinical observations.? Many people following the Leptin Diet and actually engaging the process of weight loss have no trouble ridding themselves of type 2 diabetes.? Emphasis needs to be placed on the phrase “engaging the process of weight loss.”? While it is my belief, based on considerable science, that the Leptin Diet is the most effective and safest way to lose weight over the long haul, losing weight in any manner seems to be of benefit.

Bromelain as a Natural Anti-Clotting Nutrient
Bromelain is one of the best nutrients known for helping to dissolve things in your body that should not be there.? It is little surprise that a review of bromelain animal and human studies shows that it can help keep your blood from improperly clotting. The science shows that bromelain inhibits platelets from sticking together while also protecting the walls of arteries.? It has a specific effect on thrombin, helping to reduce clotting factors associated with clot formation as well as reducing existing clots.? Unlike the rat poison used by the medical profession, it does not interfere with needed clotting and actually speeds healing.? There are many nutrients that help your blood flow along better and keep platelets in better working condition.? Other notable choices include resveratrol, curcumin, DHA, tocotrienol E and pantethine.? And remember, there are leptin receptors on your platelets.? Leptin resistance is a primary reason for sticky blood that can place you at risk for strokes.? It is vital to follow the Leptin Diet regardless of your weight, and lose weight healthfully if you are overweight, in order to properly reduce risks for inappropriate clotting. Read more »
Bromelain Speeds Healing and Tissue Rejuvenation
Protease enzymes are made naturally by your body and are a primary way to clean up tissue damage by dissolving damaged structures in need of replacement and repair.? As you age you make less of these enzymes, leading to a backlog of rejuvenation and accumulation of damaged tissues, including old injury debris.? Two new animal studies demonstrate the enhanced healing power inherent in bromelain. One study shows the ability of bromelain to heal gunshot wounds.? Bromelain was found to increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the wound area, while reducing inflammation within the wound.? Furthermore, bromelain activated growth factors vital to the healing process. Another study tested bromelain in the healing of burns .? Bromelain was found to enhance the rate that burned skin was cleared away. Read more »
