DB Care
(formerly DiabetiCare)
Supports Blood Sugar Metabolism*

DB Care provides support for high and low functional imbalances of blood sugar metabolism by supporting all of the organs involved in blood sugar regulation including the pancreas, liver and adrenal glands. 

The formula contains herbs that can naturally increase the endogenous antioxidants glutathione and superoxide dismutase. Thus, it can be of great benefit in mitigating the common complications associated with poor blood sugar regulation and free radical damage.*

Indications
DB Care can be extremely helpful in the management of problems involving blood sugar metabolism, especially high blood sugar, and including hyperinsulinemia / Metabolic Syndrome X, and hyperinsulinemia associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO). Blood sugars can start coming down within about 2 weeks but some people don't notice much of a change for 6 weeks. About 88% of patients have much improved blood sugars within 2-3 months. However, DB Care may also be helpful as a preventative in patients who have a family history of adult-onset blood sugar imbalances.*

Complaints often associated with problems involving glucose (sugar) metabolism can include,

  • Truncal obesity (where the fat is distributed more on the abdomen and chest, and less on the legs and arms)*
  • High Insulin levels (hyperinsulinemia)*
  • High blood sugar levels*
  • High blood pressure*
  • High triglycerides*
  • Male hair growth patterns in women (facial hair, line of hair under belly button, male-pattern thinning of the hair on the head, etc.)*
  • Darkening of the skin under the arms, under the breasts, and in the groin*
  • Skipped periods, Infertility*
  • Complications of high blood sugar*

Review of Blood Sugar Problems
Let's review some blood sugar problems so we can better see how DB Care can help. Very briefly,

Type I high blood sugar imbalances usually begins in childhood and is due to the pancreas not making enough insulin. Insulin is what causes sugar to go from the blood and into the cells where it can be burned. And when there isn't enough insulin, the blood sugar goes up.

Type II high blood sugar usually begins in adulthood and is often due to insulin resistance, or the body not responding properly to insulin produced by the pancreas.

Hyperinsulinemia is a condition that often turns into high blood sugars. In other words, patients can develop elevated insulin levels before they develop elevated blood sugar levels. The body makes excessive amounts of insulin, presumably, in an effort to compensate for the insulin resistance that may eventually lead to chronically elevated blood sugar levels. Hyperinsulinemia can often lead to skin tags and darkening of the skin under the arms, breasts and in the groin.

Metabloic Syndrome X is hyperinsulinemia especially associated with high blood pressure and high triglyceride/cholesterol levels.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) includes hyperinsulinemia, and can include darkened areas of the skin, stopped periods, infertility, and male-patterned hair growth.

Stress can lead to problems with the thyroid system (Wilson's Temperature Syndrome) and the adrenal system. Stress can cause cortisol levels to rise which can:

  • Decrease the conversion of T4 to T3 which can lead to decreased utilization of sugar, and increased obesity. Obesity can cause insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels.*
  • Cause hyperinsulinemia, truncal obesity, and high blood sugar levels directly as well.*

With perhaps the exception of Type I, all of the problems mentioned above can have a lot in common and can be thought of almost as a continuum of essentially the same problem(s).*

Organs Involved in Blood Sugar Regulation
The pancreas, liver, and adrenals all play a role in glucose metabolism. When any of these components malfunction, similar problems in glucose metabolism can result. As an analogy, suppose 4 people were holding up a triangular couch, one person in each corner. If all 3 started to get tired, the couch would start to go down. If just 1 person gave out, the other two would get tired faster and the couch would start to go down. In a similar way, problems in any one of the organs or systems important in glucose metabolism can cause a similar constellation of complaints.

DB Care works by supporting all three of the organs important in glucose metabolism, the pancreas, liver, and adrenals. That's why it can be so helpful in such apparently varied circumstances. If the thyroid system appears to need help the WT3 protocol (or maybe ThyroCare) can always be implemented. DB Care is not a drug that lowers blood sugar, rather it is aimed at strengthening the organs so that they function better so that the blood sugar decreases. Therefore, the effects of DB Care can't be seen within one hour. It's effects are usually evident within about a week to a couple of months.*

What to Expect
Studies have shown that only about 25% of patients on oral diabetic medicine are able to achieve good control (not even perfect control) of their blood sugar levels on those drugs. On the other hand, many patients that are managed with the WT3 protocol and DB Care are able to do quite well without negative effects and maintain good control.

If Type I (juvenile-onset) is caught early enough especially within the first two months people can sometimes see amazing results and their insulin requirements may be reduced to zero.

The recommended dosage is at least one capsule three times a day, but doubling or tripling that dose can be helpful in some cases where blood sugars are higher than 150 mg/dl.*

Side Effects
There are no adverse side effects and no contraindications to DB Care. Although DB Care is most helpful for helping to lower high blood sugar levels, it's actually helpful in patients with low blood sugar as well. For this reason, we have not seen any patients taking DB Care have their blood sugar levels go too low, even when patients are also taking drugs at the same time to lower their blood sugar.

Actually, the only side effects are side benefits. The secondary complications of chronically high blood sugar levels might get better. Patients' vision, and kidney function may get better. There are a lot of anti-oxidants in DB Care which help eliminate free radicals which are largely responsible for the secondary complications of high blood sugar levels.

WT3 protocol In The Management of Blood Sugar Problems
Raising the body temperature by one degree can often,

  • Quickly lower blood sugar levels in patients with high blood sugar sometimes to normal*
  • Quickly lower insulin levels in patients with hyperinsulinemia by 30% and sometimes to normal*

Almost all patients with high blood sugar and hyperinsulinemia have low body temperatures and can benefit from the WT3 protocol. In itself WT3 is an important and effective management tool, probably more important than drugs such as Glucophage and Glyburide. And the best thing about the WT3 protocol is that it doesn't have to be taken for life. The WT3 alone won't always bring the insulin levels all the way down to normal, but as far down as they go they tend to stay down.*

Diet and Exercise In The Management of Blood Sugar Problems
People with blood sugar problems should remember to try to eat a good diet and get plenty of exercise. Good diet and exercise alone can often work wonders in bringing down blood sugar levels. We recommend a very strict diet with the patient eating nothing with a glycemic index of greater than 50. Patients can do a search on the Internet for "glycemic index chart" to find the kinds of foods one might eat. If patients want to eat anything with a glycemic index of over 50 they should do at least a half-hour of exercise that day. Such a strict diet gets great results by itself, but is very hard to stick to for many people.

A lot of people say they have tried diet after going to dietitians but many diets prescribed by dieticians are often too lenient to help very much.*

Uses of DB Care

In Type I disorders of blood sugar metabolism
1. If low body temperature consider WT3 protocol
2. Starting DB Care Dosage: 1 capsule 3 times a day.

Comments:

  • DB Care can be helpful within the first 6 months of onset (the sooner the better).*
  • Researchers have also found that Niacinamide 25mg/kg per day has shown to be effective in some patients with Type I blood sugar disorder. In some cases the disorder has been eliminated completely. The chances of this occurring should be improved when the Niacinamide is taken in conjunction with DB Care and proper diet.*
  • Advisable to avoid all dairy products (antibodies against dairy products can sometimes attack the pancreas).*

In High blood sugar
1. If low body temperature (almost always low in patients with high blood sugar) consider WT3 protocol

2. Starting DB Care Dosages:

For fasting blood sugar levels,

  • 150 to 200 mg/dl: 1 capsule three times a day.
  • 200 to 300 mg/dl: 2 capsules three times a day.
  • Greater than 300 mg/dl: 3 capsules three times a day.

Comments:

  • Patients can expect to see a lowering in blood sugars possibly within a week but definitely within 3 months (if they're going to).*
  • Most patients who follow the 3 steps listed above will be able to maintain normal blood sugar levels without drugs (like Glucophage or Glyburide), particularly if they exercise and eat well. Patients who are not willing to eat well will have less chance of being able to wean off drugs, but DB Care added to the drugs will likely help them have better blood sugar control.*
  • Example: Someone with fasting blood sugar fluctuating around 140 mg/dl - just one pill three times a day of DB Care might bring it down to normal in about a month.*
  • Another Example: Someone taking Glucophage and Glyburide (drugs to lower blood sugar) and the blood sugar is still around 180mg/dl. If the goal is to lower the blood sugar while getting the patient off all drugs, then consider high doses of DB Care for 3 months and begin weaning drugs to see if blood sugar remains low. The discontinuation of any prescription drugs should only be done under the supervision of a physician.*
  • 90 percent of Type II blood sugar disorder patients are obese, 10 percent are thin. The 10 percent who are thin and have high blood sufar often have a hard time lowering their blood sugar with drugs, or herbs. But definitely DB Care can sometimes be effective in patients who are Type II and who are thin.*
  • Many patients who follow the 3-step process indicated above will have there health restored to the point that they no longer have high blood sugar levels, and will be able to maintain normal blood sugars off drugs and off herbs.*
  • Adding Adaptogen is often helpful because it can give extra support to help the body manage stress, reduce cortisol, hyperinsulinemia, and truncal obesity.*

Example Case
One patient's blood sugar was around 300 even though she had been taking Glucophage and Glyburide for the past 15 years. She took herbs in very high doses (6 capsules three times a day) for about two years; but three years later, her blood sugars are around 115 mg/dl and she's on no drugs and no herbs. Milder cases are usually more easily improved.

In Hyperinsulinemia
1. If low body temperature (almost always low in patients with hyperinsulinemia) consider WT3 protocol
2. Starting DB Care Dosage: 1 capsule 3 times a day.

3. Consider Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (see above, irregular menstrual periods? painful menstrual periods? facial hair? Consider ordering pelvic ultrasound)
Comments:
  • Raising body temperature by 1 degree will often decrease insulin levels by 30% or more, maybe even to normal. Insulin levels often remain improved even after WT3 protocol has been discontinued. WT3 is often more effective than Glucophage at lowering insulin levels.*
  • People who exercise and eat well have an even better chance of getting to normal and staying normal.*
  • The implications of correcting hyperinsulinemia are immense considering that studies show that hyperinsulinemia often progresses to high blood sugar within 12 months. Thus, many patients who follow the recommendations presented here can have their health restored to the point that they no longer have hyperinsulinemia and don't progress to high blood sugar levels, even off drugs or herbs.*
  • Many doctors appear to be overlooking this important opportunity. Patients with truncal obesity (and especially facial hair in women) should have their insulin levels measured. Complaints include fatigue and feeling spacey.*
  • Hyperinsulinemia is most common in women, and almost every woman with hyperinsulinemia will have follicles or cysts of the ovaries on ultrasound.*
  • DB Care can often clear up dark skin under the arms, breasts and groin.*
  • Adding Adaptogen is often helpful because it can give extra support to help the body manage stress, reduce cortisol, hyperinsulinemia, and truncal obesity.*

Weaning Off Drugs
Once people start noticing a significant decrease in blood sugar they might consider starting to wean off their prescription drugs, if any, under the supervision of their physicians. Some people may be able to start weaning after two weeks of being on DB Care, while others may be able to start after eight weeks.

Physicians might recommend that patients whose blood sugars aren't really that high (<140 mg/dl) to just stop the the drug because many people taking DB Care won't really notice much change.

It's usually not best for patients to stop their drugs when their blood sugars are consistently over 150 mg/dl.

Weaning Off DB Care in High blood sugar and Hyperinsulinemia

Patients ought to diet and exercise well and see if they can keep their blood sugars normal for two months in a row. Then they can start decreasing the dose of DB Care to see how low they can decrease it while still maintaining normal sugars. Some people will actually be able to go all the way down to 0.

However, people who want to keep eating a poor quality diet who don't want to exercise will probably have to take some herbs for life. But quite a few patients that really want to work at it by

  • getting their temperatures to normal with WT3*
  • watching their diets*
  • exercising*
  • taking DB Care for 3-4 months*

won't need anything (herbs or drugs) when they're finished.*
