Successful therapy for modern day diabetes

Dear colleagues and friends. Greetings and best wishes from Hong Kong. Firstly,

I would like to thank the management at REGUMED for inviting me again to share my experiences for the 2022 International BICOM congress.

The title of my presentation is “Successful Therapy for Modern Day Diabetes.”

Diabetes as we know it, it’s a severe health condition that affects millions of people, including children around the world. In my opinion, Metabolic Syndrome is caused by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Metabolic Syndrome is still the leading cause of death in our modern society. The reason is a combination of genetics, lifestyle, pro- longed stress, diet, medication, environmental pollution, etc. Diabetes has wide-rang- ing health complications.

Please get to know these complications because you need to support the organs affected with treatments and supplements.

Diabetes requires effective treatment and management, or the patient will eventually suffer kidney failure. A prevalent symptom for older diabetic patients is diabetic foot. We need to help them as soon as possible, or they risk amputation. In addition, high serum glucose will cause oxidative stress and a cascade of events leading to cardiovascular disease.

Since 2019 the whole world got hit with a pandemic. The SARS-CoV 2 or Covid 19. If you are reading this, then congratulations – you have survived! As of 21st March 2022, this pandemic has claimed more than 6 million lives. There are however many things to learn from this crisis to prevent severe loss of life. The cytokine storm causes most deaths and multiple organ failures. It’s the way our immune system responds to an infection that causes all these “collateral damages.”. A young and healthy individual will be able to recover from these damages, whereas an individual with diabetes and cardiovascular disease will not survive.

The leading comorbidities among SARS-CoV2 deaths are diabetes and related diseases like cardiovascular and renal diseases. We must successfully treat diabetic patients to offer them a fighting chance to survive the next pandemic.

Diabetic patients that have progressed to kidney failure would have to undergo hemodialysis regularly. Due to the weakened detoxification abilities, you must not detox the body too aggressively and make sure the patients check their blood pressure daily to manage their medications. I have many cases where the patients are still taking their hypertension medications prescribed before kidney failure. As a result, they have dangerously low blood pressure, so do get them to consult with doctors for an updated prescription.

Autogenous arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) procedure is needed to allow long-term hemodialysis. We must care for the needle insertion areas to prevent too much scarring and infection. Consult your BICOM manual and test for suitable programs. I often find the programs 910.3 and 927.3 beneficial.

Conventional Medicine only separates diabetic conditions into Type I and Type II.

The medical community still doesn’t know why the immune system attacks the pancreas- as’ beta cells that make insulin. Generally, diabetic type I patients have deficient

insulin and need to monitor and supplement insulin injection when required. In my practice, I have also often found pathogens living inside the pancreas. That causes the immune system to respond and is not due to some genetic disorder. It is therefore useful to test for EBV and other herpes families and to pay attention to parasites too.

Type II diabetes usually progresses with high insulin produced due to bad diet, stress and inflammation. Eventually, the pancreas becomes unhealthy and cannot keep up with insulin production. In this case, the insulin production usually drops, and the receptors may become insensitive. To understand how our body produces and utilizes glucose, you need to know about insulin and glucagon. I won’t have time to explain the entire metabolic pathways, so let’s keep it simple. Please study the illustration (fugure 1) carefully to see the importance of the liver in the production and reabsorption of glucose. Insulin and glucagon are the chemical messengers.

Now I want to share the key reasons for my success in treating diabetes. Firstly, don’t just focus your therapy on the pancreas and insulin. The liver not only processes the toxins and waste in our body but it makes and recycles glucose too. I often emphasize that the liver is like our kitchen that prepares food for the cells, recycles unused food, and throws away the trash. Would you like to eat in a dirty kitchen? To treat diabetes successfully, we need to look into the condition of the liver.

Stress and Cortisol are what I describe as “modern-day diabetes.” The below illustration (figure 2) shows the immediate and chronic responses to stress. Chronic stress is one critical factor that causes chronic diseases, including diabetes. Cortisol causes the liver to produce and release glucose but, at the same time, stops our muscles from absorbing and utilizing the glucose. As a result, the blood glucose stays high until stress stops, which often never occurs.

The overconsumption of sugar and carbohydrates is also highly significant in relation to Insulin and cortisol. This vicious cycle will always lead to diabetes, therefore it is important to make the patient understand this cycle and make the necessary changes to their diet and lifestyle. The S.A.D. diet is tempting but extremely dangerous. As you can see in the illustration (figure 3), carbohydrate causes the highest sugar spike and conversion to glucose in the shortest time. That’s why a paleo or ketogenic diet is preferable if you have a healthy liver to manage the protein and fats.

I am sure you will be familiar with Candida yeast, but do you know that Candida is present and stays in a spore form in all living things? It only starts to overgrow and turn into the mycelial form when the host is dead. In humans, the death of our gut probiotics triggers this hyphal growth process. So, unfortunately, when we knowingly or unknowingly ingest antibiotics, it will cause dysbiosis of our gut microbiome. This is why Candidiasis is so common in our modern society. If you do some research, you’ll find many scientific studies that link Candida dysbiosis to Beta-Cell autoimmunity and abnormal insulin secretion that then leads to diabetes. Studies show that Candida may be the leading cause of Celiac disease, leaky gut, and food intolerance. For this reason it is essential to check and treat leaky gut conditions. It causes systemic inflammation, malnutrition, autoimmunity, and food intolerance.

Many studies proves that particular nutritional deficiency is linked to diabetes. The below paper shows that Zinc is essential for the secretion and signalling of insulin. Other papers (Figure 5) study the functions of Chromium, Zinc, and Magnesium in glycemic control (Figure 5) and Vitamin D deficiency being associated with decreased insulin release and insulin resistance (Figure 6)

As Diabetic patients are often prescribed a combination of drugs, it is crucial to

study the mechanisms of action of the medication to help treat and support the organs affected by the drugs. For example, the popular Januvia medication is known to damage the pancreas, and as a result long-term users face the risk of pancreatitis. I always pay attention to all the common side effects of my patients’ medications. I will customize treatment protocol based on their condition and medication.

Electronic blood glucose monitors are an essential tool in managing and treating diabetes. I recommend my diabetic patient to use Freestyle Libre from Abbot. It allows users to see what food or condition spikes their blood sugar and make changes accordingly. It also allows me to help choose the best and most effective medication and therapy programs.

Personalized and precision medicine Approach

I want to highlight that I don’t use a fixed protocol in my practice. Instead, I always emphasize that every patient is different and thus needs a different approach. One of my favorite methods is to use the comprehensive Combine Test Technique (CTT). Here are four essential kits for diabetes treatment.

CTT Psychosomatic / Neurology Kit:

In my opinion, this is the single most helpful kit for most diseases. It’s a great starting point to eliminate most strains and stabilize the body. One technique I use to “inhibit” hormones like Cortisol and Histamine is creating a program using A mode with step-down amplification. You can then use your favourite test method to find the best setting for every treatment. You can also use step-up amplification to promote specific functions like making more GABA for anti-stress.

CTT Hormones, Organs, Neurotransmitters, Miasma Kit:

Only use the above-mentioned A mode with step-up amplification to promote Glucagon, Insulin, Serotonin, TSH, GABA, and ATP when needed. Be careful not to over inhibit Cortisol as our body needs it to control inflammation, especially for eczema patients.

CTT Vaccines, Metals, and Miscellaneous Kit:

I mainly use this kit to eliminate vaccination harm, medication, and heavy metals from the patient, especially in the gut, as it promotes candida growth.

CTT Viruses / Fungi Kit:

Test and treat with this kit to eliminate disturbances by pathogens. The best mode to use is Ai/A. I usually run higher amplification for Ai and low amplification for A to act as a provocation therapy.

There are many useful BICOM programs to be used without CTT or in combination with CTT. I highly recommend using the Standardized Basis Systematic with accompanied CTT ampoules for all patients. It is a systematic program that treats most underlying disturbances in a simple to follow program sequence. You can also use this systematic as a foundational program before focusing on details.

These are some program sequences that I find helpful to regulate metabolism. These are great for treating leaky gut and other intestinal flora conditions. In addition, the adrenaline secretion sequences are great for controlling Cortisol. There are many other valuable programs in BICOM that you can explore.

PS 10159 Metabolism therapy

PS 10082 Carbohydrate metabolism

PS 10118 Pancreas impairment, reduced secretion

PS 10038 Intestinal flora, to improve

PS 10037 Intestinal therapy/also lumbar spine

PS 10006 Adrenaline secretion, to regulate

Another useful recommendation is the Chinese Puer tea. Historically, this Chinese tea is known as the slimming tea. Drinking this tea after the meal can help control sugar uptake. It’s the best drink for diabetic patients that cannot control their sugar and carbohydrate cravings. You can find many scientific studies on this subject. Just drink a mug an hour after your meals, especially carbohydrates or deserts. Another favorite of mine is the Apple Cider Vinegar. I always advise patients to drink two big tablespoons of ACV mixed with a small cup of warm water immediately after a meal to aid digestion. It’s also great for cleaning our renal system.

I’m sharing this case study to illustrate my technique in correctly diagnosing the root cause and providing clinical advice and treatments for the patient. As for the CTT am- poules and BICOM programs used for therapy, please refer back to the previous rec- ommendations.

One important tip I always share, is the amazing result you’ll get just by using the Basic Therapy program for normal energetic patient 10130. It’s a combination of LDF 3130 and 130 programs in H+Di mode with an all frequency sweep. The beauty of this pro- gram is that it works for nearly all problems by changing the input information for the input cup and input applicator. For example, if you put blood and nails or hair in the in- put cup and put an input applicator on the liver you are giving the liver a comprehensive therapy. On the other hand, if you put urine in the input cup and placed an input applicator on the kidneys you are treating the kidneys and blood pressure. You can be creative in using this “multi-function” program.

CASE STUDIES:

Case study 1

A 73-year-old obese Chinese male. He loves his cigars and enjoys rich Chinese and Western food with wine. In addition, he claims that he goes cycling twice a week for about an hour. Obviously, his lack of exercise and love of rich food is the root cause of his disease. His mild stroke, cataract, low energy, poor sleep, and sugar craving are all common symptoms of diabetes and are made worse by his “over” medications.

Let’s first look at cholesterol. We now know from recent studies that cholesterol is not the culprit in heart diseases but that instead, high blood sugar is the leading cause of damage to our arteries. Cholesterol is just there to repair the damaged endothelium cells. Unfortunately, when the condition persists for many years, there will be a build-up of oxidized and calcified cholesterol known as arterial plaque. His alleviated cholesterol level is just a natural response of the body to make more “repair material” for the oxidative damage in the arteries. More cholesterol is also needed for the production of Cortisol, which is our body’s natural steroid for an anti-inflammatory response. The patient also mentioned that his business is very stressful, which means more cholesterol is produced to make stress hormones.

Due to taking three different types of cholesterol-lowering medication, his body is unable to lower the inflammation and repair the damage to the cell walls. This leads to severe risks such as stroke. He was lucky to survive a mild stroke a year ago.

There’s also a strong correlation between cholesterol and vitamin D production. Insufficient vitamin D will cause calcium build-up in soft tissues like arteries and capillaries. It’s one of the contributing factors to cataracts and strokes. High cortisol levels and weakening kidney function keeps him awake at night.

Before recommending any medication changes, I always require my patients to go for a heart and neck CT scan to assess their risk of heart disease and consult with their cardiologist. I also carefully assess his liver condition in regards to cholesterol production. In this case, the result only shows moderate plaque deposits, which is typical for his condition and age group. His liver scan shows moderate fatty liver without any liver cirrhosis.

I recommended that he slowly cut down on the medication and only take the Lopid and Ezetrol with a monthly blood test to monitor his condition. He eventually stopped all statin medication and used Fenofibrate to control his high cholesterol level. I’m not too fond of statins like Lipitor because it lowers the Coenzyme Q10 in the blood, which is vital for healthy mitochondria and metabolic functions.

Now, let us focus on the Kidneys. We all know that diabetes will damage the kidneys, and eventually, it will fail, and patients need hemodialysis. Due to his stroke a year ago, his doctor prescribed three different types of anti-hypertension medications to lower his blood pressure to 110/70. This is however, in my opinion, way too low for his size and ege.

All three medications, Norvasc (Calcium Channel Blockers), Plavix (Antiplatelet), and Cozaar (Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker), are damaging to the kidneys. One of the side effects of Norvasc is high uric acid and weak muscles, which make him tired and unable to exercise. Can you see the vicious cycle happening here?

I suspect that antiplatelet medication like Plavix was prescribed due to the high viscosity of his blood. I have encountered many similar cases in my practice. The main cause of alleviated blood viscosity in a diabetic patient is fibrin due to high inflammation and blood lipids like triglycerides.

After monitoring the blood pressure for two weeks and confirming my suspicion that it is too low, I recommended that he stop the Plavix and replace it with Natokinese enzymes to remove fibrin. In addition to take 3000 mg of Omega3 anti-inflammation and lower the blood viscosity. It immediately pushes the blood pressure up to 130/80, which is acceptable for his condition. On days that he exercises, he skips the Norvasc unless he feels uncomfortable or the morning blood pressure test shows unfavourable results.

Currently, his blood pressure is stable at 130/80, and he only takes Cozaar once daily.

He no longer feels weak in his muscles and out of breath when he exercises. He comes once a week to my clinic for BICOM therapy during this period. I work on different areas of his system based on test results and his symptoms. Again, clear and precise communication is key. As for his diabetes medication, I recommended that he stop taking Jardiance (Empagliflozin) as it is causing problems for his kidneys. The symptoms are water retention and frequent night urination. I have checked and confirmed that

it is not a prostate issue. Jardiance works by reducing renal glucose reabsorption, but in his case, it puts more strain on his kidneys. By encouraging him to change his diet, he now manages to keep his blood glucose stable by only using Metformin. We found that he does not need any medication when he exercises. On days that he indulges, he takes the Galvus with Metformin.

Case study 2

A 64-year-old Chinese female that is mildly obese and a nonsmoker. She also enjoys protein-rich Chinese food and snacks. She engages in stretching and exercise every day. She drinks lots of Chinese tea, especially Puer tea which helps her keep her weight and blood sugar under control. She suffers from mild eczema since childhood and craves sugary food, which is an indication of gut flora Dysbiosis and possibly Candida fungus overgrowth.

Due to the Covid19 pandemic, she also suffered prolonged stress in all aspects of life for over 2 years, from financial problems to fear of contracting and dying from the pandemic. I suspect that the combination of pre-existing gut inflammation and prolonged stress triggers the diabetes condition. We know that stress and inflammation will raise the insulin level and eventually will lead to insulin insensitivity. I want to highlight here that gut dysbiosis will also affect the production of serotonin, our anti-stress and happy hormone. When a patient suffers from low seratonin, she will be “more stressed” which sometimes leads to depression. Low Seratonin and high Cortisol will create insomnia.

I tested her and put her on a program that I design to fix the gut Dysbiosis and Candida overgrowth. After about a month into the treatment program, her mood improved and her blood sugar drops drastically. I took her off the Jardiance and suggested that she only take Metformin on days that she did not exercise or indulge in an unhealthy diet. Her hypertension and cholesterol also normalized and was subsequently told to stop Norvasc and Lipitor by her doctor.

I’m sharing this case because I’m seeing more and more patients that are diagnosed with early onset of diabetes and were told that they have to take a whole cocktail of medication for life.

Case study 3

A 68-year-old Caucasian male. He does not smoke nor drink alcohol and is a vegetarian. He tries to exercise regularly but suffers from stress being a successful lawyer.

He has had eczema and irritable bowel syndrome for over 20 years. He was diagnosed with diabetes and on a different combination of medication for over 10 years. He shares with me his disappointment in conventional medicine despite his best effort in lifestyle improvements. I think he meant giving up meat and alcohol.

This case is very similar to case number 2 as both have gut flora Dysbiosis and Candida overgrowth. The difference is in IBS. This case definitely suffers from the leaky gut syndrome. So, by focusing on his leaky gut issue and getting his gut healthy again, the overall inflammation and toxins overload got under control. This will lower the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. The liver got healthier and becomes more efficient in managing blood sugar.

He is on Metformin only and uses Concor which is a beta-blocker to manage his stress hormones. We are still working on improving his Seratonin and GABA levels. Hopefully, he will be able to stop taking Concor soon.

Conclusion

There is so much more information that I would love to share, but these are just a few points that are most important for a successful treatment.

Every patient is different, and to be successful, we need to be flexible and have all the required knowledge to identify the triggers that make up this disease. Have patience and encourage the “patient” to be patient! Monitor changes every week and recommends supplements accordingly.

Thank you for watching, and I hope you’ll find some helpful information that will im- prove your success in treating this chronic debilitating disease.

God Bless and stay healthy and safe!
