The Metabolism Switch - Part 2

Thank your the positive feedback to part 1 of The Energy/Metabolism Switch!  In response to the numerous questions received, I am providing additional information and a chart for sugar disguises. (See chart below).  

The mid 1970's hailed the introduction of a new form of sugar - High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). Highly concentrated, this sweetener had huge economical advantages in packaging, shipping and amounts required to adjust taste. By mid the 1980's, HFCS had infiltrated processed and packed foods, particularly sodas and drinks. Correspondingly, physicians were seeing a sharp increase in a new disease called Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). 

Small amounts of fruit can be converted and utilized for energy. Large amounts interfere with metabolism. Excess fructose triggers increased resistance to the hormone that says, “I’m full” (leptin), while increasing the hormone that stimulates your appetite (ghrelin). HFCS - double whammy. 

Fortunately, both insulin resistance and NAFLD can be turned around with proper diet, exercise,  and combinations of herbs is medicinal amounts. Many of these herbal remedies have been tested and their efficacy verified at Johns Hopkins and Mayo Clinic.  Herbs such as Licorice, Cinnamon Bark, Bilberry, Gymnema, Fenugreek, and Bitter Melon.  Combination types and concentration are determined by analysis of the entire Bioterrain, instead of simply levels of glucose and A1C.  Approaches to lower those two chemical paraments with synthetic pharmaceutical have produced dismal results, often with dangerous side effect.  Again, conventional therapies offer a strictly chemical approach without examining the energy systems. A well designed, effective approach requires monitoring and balancing the autonomic nervous system, the extra cellular matrix pH, mineral concentration and the energy status of the body's meridians.  These variables determine intra and extra cellular energy and whether the individual Bioterrain calls for combinations in herbal amounts or low potency homeopathic (nanomolecular) combinations. 

See the chart below for the myriad of names for sugar, sugar substitutes and high fructose corn syrup.
 
"Dr. Dr. Snell: This is a fantastic explanation of what's really going in the body. The clarification of the effect of stevia was a true eye opener for me. I didn't realize that I was taking in so much stevia and that is one change that has definitely affected my weight and the ability of it to shift into burning instead of storage."
