Diet, Stress and inflammation

The American diet is loaded with omeaga 6 oils and trans-fats as opposed to the anti-inflammatiory omeaga 3 oils found in vegetables and cold water fish. Omeaga 6 oils result in inflammatory micronutrients circulating in the blood stream and reduce the ability of cells to function normally. This increaase in inflammatory products in the body correlates with the increase in stress related diseases because the body responds to these inflammatory chemicals by having the adrenal gland produce…See More

Knowledge of Dietary Sodium may contribute to metabolic diseases in African Americans

A small survey that asked the question what is the difference between salt and sodium revealed that many African Americans with only High School or less did not know the difference. Also when asked to name three food and drinks that contain sodium many AA could not. Since most AA are salt sensitive it is important that physicians and other health care professionals provide more education about salt (Sodium) intake.

Dear Fellow Member:

According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 24 million Americans have DM, and about 6 millions of them are not aware that they are diabetics. By the time when they are diagnosed with DM for abnormal blood glucose tests, they have likely had other ongoing pathological changes inside their bodies such as cataracts, retinopathy, arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke, arthritis and fibromyalgia (fibromyositis), cancer(s), even neurodegenerative changes such as Alzheimer’s disease, just to name a few.

DM only represents a stage of a disease, daily repeated hyperglycemia, when about 50% of the pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by inflammation, which is a result of excessive consumption of carbohydrates. The pathological changes are progressive and accumulative, unless the individual mindfully reduces the consumption of carbohydrates. Thus, simply waiting for a diagnosis with DM has no value in preventive medicine, is passive and unacceptable.

For preventing and managing DM, I need your help by doing the followings. Please view my videos and understand why DM is not necessarily a genetic disease. Visit your group(s) frequently or join them at Talk Medical, The Diabetic Challenge, and Onco'Zone. Also follow my weekly blogs at “What’s New, Doc?” Lastly, please forward my message to your family members and friends on your network.

Let us join together in removing DM and many other diseases from our life! Thank you.

Sincerely,
Robert Su, Pharm.B., M.D.
