Re: My visit with my Natural Doc

SoulfulSurvivor:

In case you have not visited this site yet, it is so very informative, I’d recommend that you check out the articles link, and read the many linked pages there. Then each article will have some more listed at the end of the page. It goes simply and clearly into a very educational “tour” about hypoglycemia and how it relates to so many physical and mental problems and offers some possible insights into how to try to gain some control.

Hope you find some interesting clues in there.

Many blessings, and may you feel renewed health very soon…

Excerpts:

“3) Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that conveys the positive sensations of satiety, satisfaction and relaxation. It regulates appetite and when converted to melatonin helps us to sleep.
4) A deficiency of Serotonin in the brain can cause endogenous depression, upsets the appetite mechanism and may lead to obesity or other eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa and may be responsible for insomnia.”

“17) Treatment of hypoglycemia is achieved by adopting a hypoglycemic diet accompanied with vitamin and mineral supplements (Vitamin C, Zinc, Chromium picolinate, Thiamine (B1) and other B-complex vitamins, see “The Hypoglycemic Diet” ). This helps to stabilize the blood sugar, insulin and stress hormone levels, even out mood swings, rebalance the appetite mechanism, equalize energy intake and expenditure; and halt if not reverse obesity.

18) The overproduction of adrenaline, known as the fight/flight hormone, can cause nervousness, panic attacks, anxiety, phobias, extreme mood swings and bouts of aggression and many other symptoms of hypoglycemia, described in the article “What is Hypoglycemia?” “

“Candidiasis
“…..Approximately 25 percent of hypoglycemic patients suffer with candidiasis. The symptoms are almost identical and are mainly tiredness, vagueness, poor concentration, poor memory and depression. People with candidiasis need to follow the rules recommended for hypoglycemics but must also avoid yeast foods and in most cases do better with antifungal agents such as Nystatin prescribed by the doctor as well as acidophilus capsules obtainable from health food stores.”
