Blood Sugar (Detox):
BLOOD SUGAR / GLUCOSE EXPLAINED:
Blood Glucose level or blood sugar concentration = amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood system. This level or concentration should be between 3.6 – 5.8mm (mmol/l)
We need a certain amount of glucose in the blood in order to create ATP – the energy of each cell, but the amount of glucose has to be kept at a fairly constant level as too much (or too little) is very damaging to the body. If there is too much glucose in the blood, the body secretes the hormone INSULIN to remove glucose from the blood and store it for future use. Essentially insulin is a key component in regulating glucose levels in the blood. Insulin is a hormone produced and secreted from the beta-cells in the pancreas (Islets of Langerhans – the glucose monitors in the body), and it stimulates increased uptake of glucose (or sugar) by the liver, muscles and adipose tissue. The muscles and liver can convert the glucose into glycogen to store it for later use, but the adipose tissue converts glucose into fat and this is why weight gain or obesity are often the first signs of too much glucose (and sugar in the diet). Abdominal fat cells secrete biochemicals into blood circulation that raise insulin resistance, contributing to Diabetes.
The problem with sugar is that it is very quickly broken down into glucose and the blood stream gets a quick hit of glucose that is too much for its needs. So the body over compensates by producing a large amount of insulin to remove the glucose out of the blood, causing blood sugar levels to drop too fast and increase fat stores. Unfortunately this system is not fool proof and the amount of insulin secreted results in most of the glucose being removed out of the blood, which then leaves the person feeling tired and craving sweet foods to increase the blood glucose levels again. So people reach for Coke, doughnuts or chocolate bar, which sets off the whole cycle again = “Hallo Syndrome X and Muffin Top”!
If this cycle perpetuates, the body eventually doesn’t respond as well to the insulin, and it cannot reduce the blood sugar level which results in insulin resistance, Syndrome X and eventually Type 2 diabetes. High blood sugar levels also lead to increased free radical damage which in turn can lead to high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, obesity, premature ageing, sexual dysfunction, inflammation, lack of good circulation – leading to neuropathy in mainly feet or eventual nerve damage. In Type l (insulin dependent or juvenile-onset) diabetes mellitus – the pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by the body’s own immune system – reducing insulin levels. In Type ll diabetes – the body either does not produce enough insulin to regulate glucose levels OR the body becomes resistant or less sensitive to insulin from continuous secretion.
What the body prefers is a steady supply of glucose into the blood stream, so that as glucose is used (in the form of energy) it is replaced by glucose from the diet. Whole grains like rolled oats, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, whole fruits and vegetables provide such a steady stream of glucose as they are broken down slowly by the body. This is mainly because of the fibre which is found in foods in their natural state, whereas sugar, fruit juices and refined carbs have all had the fibre removed during processing, and are instantly absorbed into the blood stream causing a spike in blood glucose. Any drink containing caffeine (e.g. Coke or coffee) also increases sugar in the blood, as well as high stress levels – as they all trigger the release of glucose from the liver.
Blood sugar disorders have become more common because adults and children of today have been raised on post-World War II diets dependent on processed foods and deficient in trace nutrients. Minerals in particular and regulatory phytochemicals have been lost during the growing, processing and preparation of convenience and fast foods.

Research has shown that:
• Supplementation with any of several trace minerals can eliminate or strongly moderate Type 2 diabetes.
• Copper, Vanadium, Zinc, Manganese & Chromium at sensible doses have all lowered elevated blood sugar in human trials.
• Concentrated natural foods rich in fibre, trace nutrients, polyphenols, essential minerals, carnitine, botanical extracts & antioxidants that are recognized to help maintain normal blood glucose levels, & can benefit diabetics
• Other ingredients inhibit the conversion of dietary carbohydrates to blood sugar at the border of the intestinal lining, to help maintain normal blood sugar levels & assist in weight loss
Nutrients in Glycemic Vibrance H have been selected for their role in supporting normal glucose uptake at the cellular level by providing a correct balance of nutrients associated with normal glucose metabolism within the cells & improving energy levels.
• Assists with adipose tissue weight loss & a healthier metabolism.
• Manages Syndrome X & helps prevent Diabetes.
• Enhances digestion & elimination of blood & body fats & contains potent anti-oxidant protection against free radical damage.
• The anti-oxidants help reduce nerve & cell damage which normally occurs with high blood sugar levels.

Green Vibrance is designed as a concentrated, nutrient-dense food from pure organic vegetable sources that benefit blood sugar disorders:
• Support & restore a healthy digestive tract, thereby improving nutrient absorption, digestion & assimilation of all foods;
• Delivers a host of trace nutrients mostly lacking in modern diets, to build healthy & vital cells to utilise glucose more efficiently.
• Contains sufficient plant fibre to assist in clearing sludge covering villi, which line the intestines. This improves absorption of nutrients, as well as bowel function.
• Improves circulation & cardio-vascular health in order to deliver nutrients to every cell of the body.
• Supports a vigorous & efficient immune system – creating a balanced immune response (Type l Diabetes).
• Support directly or indirectly other body systems (i.e. musculo-sketetal, neurological, integumentary (skin), respiratory, urinary, endocrine & reproductive)
By improving cellular health the responses of each & every cell in the body to glucose levels are more efficient & improved & this helps to increase energy, burn excess glucose & reduce risk of Diabetes or lessens symptoms
VITAMIN D3:
In organitab organic tablets
In potencies of:
• 2000 i.u.
• 4000 i.u.
It is 100% certified organic & is the cleanest dosage form possible. The only organic Vitamin D3 on the market!
Obtained from lanolin— a waste product of wool processing, & no animals are harmed in any way as a result of this. Vitamin D3 is not abundant in food—making supplementation even more necessary.
Vit D3 (cholecalciferol or calcidiol) is generated in the skin. It is the form that is the most natural to your body & is most safely & easily utilised. Calcidiol still needs to be converted by the body into calcitriol, which is the hormonal form of Vit D3. Calcitriol exerts a hormonal effect on up to 3000 genes throughout the body. Adequate levels of Vit D maximize bone strength & decrease the risk of many chronic diseases – Diabetes, Multiple sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis & Cancers.
Scientists have found a direct link between Vit D deficiency & diabetic’s inability to keep blood sugar under control.
This raises the strong possibility that, along with being overweight & sedentary, a lack of Vit D could be a major factor in triggering type 2 diabetes in the first place.
VIBRANT CLEANSE:
Vibrant Cleanse is a powdered organic formula of:
– Grade B Maple Syrup
– Lemon juice crystals
– Cayenne Pepper
Inspired by the “Master Cleanse” a 3 – 10 (or even up to 40) day fasting cleanse
Vibrant Cleanse provides sustenance without cellular stress, so that each cell in the body can efficiently rid itself of metabolic waste, toxic foreign elements & accumulated environmental toxins. The chemical changes & cleansing have a way of removing cravings & many probable deficiencies. Thus the desire for the unnatural types of stimulants & depressants disappear.
The Master Cleanse helps break many habit forming devitalising elements of modern living – coffee, tea & various cola drinks, as well as smoking & alcohol.
This is recommended for anyone with adipose tissue or Syndrome X & blood sugar imbalances, but not readily for Diabetics – although the Master Cleanse disagrees & highly recommends it.
