Hypertension & Diabetes Control
Hypertension and Diabetes are diseases of a "wealthy society." The more we eat refined foods, the greater the risk for metabolic diseases like diabetes. The greater the risk of diabetes and poor nutrition, the greater tendency toward cardiovascular disease and hypertension. While many patients are substantially overweight and are not willing to lose weight or change their diets to gain control of their high blood pressure, many others are. We realize that ultimately, the improvement of any metabolic disease is the control that the patient has on the foods that they eat.
At the Holistic Medical clinic of the Carolinas, we have a comprehensive program that begins with evaluating your total health, ability to exercise, number of present medications, and level of existing nutrition. We work to improve the patients overall health by manipulating these factors. Many of our patients are able to reduce their dependency on powerful drugs, and can learn to use natural supplementation to control their hypertension and diabetes.
It seems that people talk about diabetes as if it were a common, reasonable disease to expect as one ages. Diabetes is a serious chronic, disabling disease that can affect eye sight, blood vessels, organs, and the quality of life. If a patient learns to control carbohydrate intake and metabolism while improving the quality of nutrition being taken, many patients will be able to: a) substantially reduce their oral medications, b) substitute natural glucose regulators or c) even get totally well. Research shows that those that have properly functioning body systems that utilize carbohydrates well are those that may maintain good body health. It is extremely important that patients remove refined carbohydrates, white flours and sugars, fried foods, and other "bad" food products, and increase natural fruits and vegetables, good oils, and take high levels of supplementation to assist them in controlling these two chronic diseases.
