As you’re relaxing or moving about this weekend, remember that your body is always working for you and your body’s healing abilities are always turned ON. That means that every moment brings a new opportunity to heal. And healing the body so that the fat cells shrink back to their original size, and your body’s fat-storing cycle is turned OFF…
Is really what “losing weight” is all about, right?
The more “help” you give your body to perform these miraculous and AMAZING healing abilities, the deeper and more powerful the healing. And yes, the faster you will lose weight. One of the most powerful healing abilities your body has is the ability to DETOX.
Detox is simply your body’s ability to release waste products from your systems. This is very important because if you’ve ever seen what happens to a clogged up drain or toilet, you know that when waste products get “stuck”… very bad things happen.
Well, this will also happen inside of your body unless your body can DETOX completely and get all that waste out.
One of the best ways that your body can detox is with ~the breath~.
Every time you ~exhale~ you are releasing waste products, and making space. Every time that you ~inhale~ you are filling that space up with new love and light from the universe.
I call it “love and light” because it’s more than just fresh, pure oxygen that your cells need to be HEALTHY…
There’s something *magical* that happens in this continuous cycle of ~breathing in~ and ~breathing out~.
So what can you take away from this?
Quick Detox Tip: Be Conscious of Your Breath This Weekend
And with every ~exhale~ visualize yourself releasing and detoxing, cleansing your body and mind of any waste or negativity.
This is conscious healing. And yes, your body is doing it all the time whether you are aware of it or not…
But when you actively participate, the healing goes to a much deeper place.

I have always found carbohydrate counting tricky when a food that I eat has a lot of fiber. This is especially true when the fiber is from certain cereals and other grains. The American Diabetes Association states that you should subtract half of the grams of fiber from the total amount of carbs when preparing to take insulin. For example, if I eat a piece of bread that has 30 grams of carbohydrates and 10 grams of fiber, then I should give myself enough insulin to cover 25 grams of carbohydrate consumption:
30 grams of carbohydrate – ½(10 grams of fiber) = 25 grams of carbohydrate
In the past, many of my doctors told me that I should subtract all of the grams of fiber from the total grams of carbohydrates if there were more than 4 grams of carbohydrates in the food. In the bread example, I would instead take insulin to cover 20 grams of carbohydrates:
30 grams of carbohydrate – 10 grams of fiber (because it’s greater than 4) = 20 grams of carbohydrate
Recently, one of my endocrinologists told me that a person with diabetes should not subtract the fiber; instead, I should change the timing of my insulin. I have found, though, that the impact of fiber on my blood sugar is highly dependent on the type of fiber. For example, some high fiber cereals cause my blood sugar to rise more slowly. In contrast, many vegetables have very little impact on my blood sugar. What is the reason?
There are two basic types of fiber: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber slows the absorption of carbohydrates into the blood. It also helps you feel full longer. Insoluble Fiber does not dissolve in water, and it helps move food through the intestines.
Though not medically confirmed, I think that soluble fiber generally does not reduce insulin needs, but it can change the timing and slow the absorption of the carbs. In contrast, I believe that insoluble fiber does not have the full impact of the carbs. For example, I usually find that green vegetables have much less impact on my blood sugar than the number of carbs would indicate.
In general, I find that diabetes is never easy to control with simple rules. Nevertheless, I think that the American Diabetes Association’s advice on provides a solid foundation from which to work. Only through personal experimentation can you fine tune further. Fruther information on diabetic diet can be obtained from Diabetes And Diabetic Diet Plan website

Sanofi Aventis, a Paris based drug developing company, said that the Lantus injection developed by it is as safe as any other type of insulin, especially in cases of blindness and poor eye sight.
In a 5 year study, Lantus was compared to other types of insulin called neural protamine hagedorn involving 1024 patients. It was proved that the drug Lantus does not cause more diabetic retinopathy cases than others. Diabetic retinopathy is a condition of blindness caused as a complication related to diabetes.
Sanofi Aventis said that results of the study are published in the online journal of Diabetolgia. Actually the need to conduct this study came from health concerns related to Lantus and the suspicions that the drug is linked to increased risks of cancer. A week ago, the FDA said that it has been reviewing the drug Lantus to prove the suspicion.
European Association for Study of Diabetes also conducted a study by reviewing an insurance database of 127,000 patients from 4 different European countries. It was found that out of 100 patients who use Lantus for at least 1 ½ years, one extra person has been diagnosed with cancer. The American Diabetes Association has also urged the patients to consult the physician before stopping Lantus all at once. In the year 2008, Lantus revenues reached $3.5 million.
Tips : Keeping to a healthy diabetic diet may help to prevent diabetic retinopathy.

A 42-year old woman who had difficulty in breathing, feeling dizzy and has a swollen purple colored left leg was rushed into the emergency department in Olympia. After undergoing ultrasound, doctors diagnosed a deep-vien thrombosis blood clot in her leg. Because of this, doctors worried that the women might develop irreversible gangrene, which may result into an amputation. Luckily, they reacted fast enough to place clog-busting drugs directly into the blockage so that the blood clot could be dissolved; they then inserted a stent in the vein in-order to widen it. Because of the fast action, the woman’s leg was back to normal by the end of the day.
Three days before the incident, the woman who took an oral contraceptive and rarely eat grapefruit started the grapefruit diet plan aggressively which includes eating a 225-gram grapefruits every morning. Doctor Lucida Grande, medical resident at Providence St. Peter Hospital think that the grapefruit was the one that tipped the balance.
Doctor Grande advised the women not to take oral contraceptive pill anymore. This is because estrogen content of the pill may cause an increased risk of blood clots. Grande also did further research with the case and found out many references on how a grapefruit can interact with medications, like statins that lowered cholesterol, antihistamines and drugs that are used to treat irregular heart conditions.
Doctor Grande told the press that the woman’s case is an isolated one and people should not be discouraged from eating grapefruit. She also claims that grapefruits are not dangerous. 20 years ago, Doctor David Bailey, a Canadian pharmacologist has reported about how grapefruit can interact with drugs. He agreed that a combination of factors including genetic, contraceptive pills and grapefruit diet may have tipped that balance in the woman’s case, but he assured that the fruit normally does not have much effect on estrogen. The Florida Department of Citrus, after reviewing the case said that there is no valid evidence that grapefruit affect oral contraceptive. Thus, they are still safe to eat.
