    Turmeric Extract 100% Effective At Preventing Type 2 Diabetes, ADA Journal Study Finds

    Posted on November 3, 2013 by Brian in DIY, Food, Health, Medicinal, Natural, News, Study, Tips // 2 Comments



    Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo

    A remarkable human clinical study published in the journal Diabetes Care, the journal of the American Diabetes Association, revealed that turmeric extract was 100% successful at preventing prediabetic patients from becoming diabetic over the course of a 9-month intervention.[1]
    Performed by Thailand researchers, the study’s primary object was to assess the efficacy of curcumin, the primary polyphenol in turmeric which gives the spice its golden hue, in delaying the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a prediabetic population.

    The study design was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial including 240 subjects who met the American Diabetic Association’s criteria for prediabetes. All subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 250 mg of curcuminoid or placebo capsules for 9 months.
    Type 2 diabetes progression was assessed by measuring a wide range of parameters, including changes in the insulin-producing cells within the pancreas known as β-cells, insulin resistance, and the anti-inflammatory cytokine known as adiponectin, at four different times: baseline, 3-, 6-, and 9-month visits during the course of intervention.
    The results were reported as follows:
    “After 9 months of treatment, 16.4% of subjects in the placebo group were diagnosed with T2DM, whereas none were diagnosed with T2DM in the curcumin-treated group. In addition, the curcumin-treated group showed a better overall function of β-cells, with higher HOMA-β (61.58 vs. 48.72; P < 0.01) and lower C-peptide (1.7 vs. 2.17; P < 0.05). The curcumin-treated group showed a lower level of HOMA-IR (3.22 vs. 4.04; P < 0.001) and higher adiponectin (22.46 vs. 18.45; P < 0.05) when compared with the placebo group.” [emphasis added]
    The researchers concluded:
    “A 9-month curcumin intervention in a prediabetic population significantly lowered the number of prediabetic individuals who eventually developed T2DM. In addition, the curcumin treatment appeared to improve overall function of β-cells, with very minor adverse effects. Therefore, this study demonstrated that the curcumin intervention in a prediabetic population may be beneficial.”
    The full study can be viewed for free on the American Diabetic Association’s Diabetes Care website: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/con...5/11/2121.full

    Discussion

    Considering that at least 40% of the US population ages 40-74 are believed to have prediabetes, according to CDC statistics, [2] the health implications of this study are profound.

    Curcumin, which constitutes approximately 3-4% of dry turmeric powder by weight, is affordable, safe and easily accessible. Moreover, over 600 potential health benefits of curcumin (and/or turmeric) have been documented within the biomedical literature freely available to peruse on either the National Library of Medicine’s open access database (pubmed.gov search: “curcumin”), or for your convenience, our intricately organized Curcumin database.
    Recently, we highlighted research on curcumin’s potential ability to heal the diabetic liver. (Read:Turmeric May Repair and Regenerate Diabetic Liver Function) But this is really only the tip of the iceberg. Below you will find the related sections on our Curcumin database indicating curcumin’s value in a wide range of diabetic complications:
    Disease Category Article Count
    Diabetes Insipidus 1
    Diabetes Mellitus: Type 1 9
    Diabetes Mellitus: Type 1: Prevention 1
    Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 13
    Diabetes: Bone Quality & Density 1
    Diabetes: Cardiovascular Illness 11
    Diabetes: Cataract 2
    Diabetes: Cognitive Dysfunction 6
    Diabetes: Glycation/A1C 2
    Diabetes: Kidney Function 4
    Diabetes: Liver Disease 1
    Diabetes: Oxidative Stress 2
    Diabetic Microangiopathy 1
    Diabetic Nephropathy 2
    Diabetic Neuropathies 2
    Diabetic Retinopathy 4

    Considering the abject failure, if not also sometimes deadly nature of diabetic medications, turmeric (curcumin) provides an ideal alternative. We can only hope that medical professionals who treat prediabetics and diabetics will take seriously this study, especially considering that it was published in the American Diabetic Association’s very own, highly respected journal.

    How to establish multiple safe houses in times of need

    Posted in: Evacuation, Featured 51

    image by the queen of subtle

    A few years ago I had the opportunity to speak before a large group of first responders and emergency planners for the state of Arizona.

    As I was leaving the conference room, a gentleman came up to me and began explaining to me the plans for evacuating Phoenix.

    There are none.

    Phoenix, like many American cities, is massive in size, both in population and geographically. Rather than trying to get everyone out of Phoenix, which would be impossible, the plan is to move one endangered neighborhood to a safer place within the city.

    For example, if major flooding hit the southern part of the city, only those residents would need to be evacuated and they would be sent to shelters in other parts of the Phoenix area. If those evacuees have friends or relatives in safer areas, they have a “bug out location.” If not, they’ll be farmed out to any shelter that has room to house them.

    Considering the size and scope of even a small evacuation, having plans to evacuate to multiple safe locations within your big city seems like the best possible option for those of us who haven’t yet bought the dream Bug Out Location.

    Bug Out Locations are expensive and hard to come by

    Many survivalists and preppers plan on bugging out when everything hits the fan or darn near close to it. However, most of these same people simply have nowhere to go.

    A true Bug Out Location, as defined by survival experts, is just another name for A Second Home. If the average American could afford a second home, there would be no problem if/when a bug out becomes a necessity.

    Instead, though, what if we took a lesson from the Phoenix emergency planner and rather than insisting that a Bug Out Location in the wilds of Montana or Idaho as the only option, establish a network of safe houses within easy walking or driving distances?

    Here’s how this might work.

    Assess the weaknesses of your home and area

    Assess the most likely crises that might affect your neighborhood or city. How bad would conditions have to be before you would need to evacuate? Ask yourself:

    • How might this disaster affect the structure of our home? If the structure is no longer safe, evacuation becomes a necessity.
    • Will it cut off access to/from our home?
    • Might it generate looting and other forms of crime?
    • Do I live near an area that is likely to attract criminal activity?

    Something else to consider is whether or not your home and neighborhood has been able to weather similar disasters in the past. If not, this might give you some direction on being better prepared. If so, are you just as prepared last time? What if this next big event is even worse?

    Having criteria for evacuating is a really important first step. Often, people second guess themselves over this decision and some end up making the fatal mistake of waiting too long.

    The second step is to consider each possible event and determine how far you would have to go in order to be safe. This is a key consideration.

    Take into consideration man-made disasters

    Along with natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes, it’s important to consder man-made disasters. Which of the following are most likely in your area?

    • Riots, civil unrest — These bring with them arson, looting, random violence
    • Terrorist attack — What, specifically, might be targeted? A sports stadium? Military installation? A dam or water treatment plant?
    • Nuclear event
    • War
    • Chemical leak or explosion
    • Pandemic
    • Biological warfare
    • Economic collapse
    • Electro Magnetic Pulse or a long term power outage
    • Wildfires — Many are caused by arson or by careless campers.

    How far would you have to evacuate to be safe from these events? That will give you an idea of where to start looking for a safe house.
    Include personal disasters in your planning:

    • Job loss or reduction in hours
    • Sudden death of a loved one
    • Diagnosis of a serious illness
    • Debilitating injury
    • House fire
    • Bankruptcy
    • Home foreclosure

    image by DRB62

    Not all of these will necessitate leaving your home, but many will. For example, if a bankruptcy and home foreclosure is likely, sooner or later, you’ll need to find somewhere safe to live. If you start planning ahead, even if it’s a far-fetched scenario, you won’t be as panicked if it does become a reality.

    In the case of a wildfire or a nuclear event, you’ll want to be on the road to safety as quickly as possible.

    So where are those safe locations?

    At this point, you’ll need a map in order to start listing multiple safe houses. These should be located far enough away so they are not be in the same type of immediate danger as your home. For example, if you live in an area that is susceptible to flooding, make sure you have a safe place to go that is out of the danger zone.

    For each most-likely scenario, determine how far away is far enough to be safe and start your safe-house search there.

    Possibilities:

    • The homes of family and close friends
    • Commercial buildings you own, have permission to access, or are owned by friends/family
    • Churches
    • Extended family, even those you may not know well
    • Contacts through any organizations you belong to
    • Timeshares — If you have any banked weeks, these could come in handy.
    • Hotels — Make sure they allow pets, if you have them.
    • Campgrounds

    Keep a list handy of all these possible “safe houses”, along with phone numbers. Discuss your plans with any individuals involved and offer your home as a refuge should they be the ones having to flee.

    Get prepped before you have to

    I don’t know about you, but if beloved family members showed up at our doorstep in need of a safe place to stay, we’d make it happen. That’s what family is all about.

    However, if the crisis dragged on, eventually we’d have to start thinking about the expense of providing room and board to these extra people. That’s not being selfish, just realistic.

    You’ll be far more welcome at safe houses if you’ve, first, asked permission to stay there in case of a disaster, and second, if bring cash to help with expenses or you’ve stored food, medicines, bedding, and other survival supplies in the corner of a garage or spare room.

    If a disaster gives notice of its imminent arrival, a hurricane, for example, you have time to make a trip to your safe house, deliver food, supplies, bedding, etc., just in case you have to make a run for it.

    In other words, don’t plan on being a freeloader!

    Survival has never been a “one size fits all” venture. It’s all about being flexible and thinking on your feet. Multiple safe locations will give you maximum flexibility when the going gets so rough that it’s time to get out of Dodge.
