Also known as the "good" cholesterol, high density lipoproteins
transport cholesterol from the body's tissues to the liver so
that it can be eradicated in the bile. Combinations of lipids
(fats) and proteins, lipoproteins are the form in which lipids
are transported in the blood. The greater the level of HDL
cholesterol, the lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Hyperaldosteronism
A disease caused by an excess production of the normal adrenal
hormone, aldosterone. This hormone is responsible for sodium and
potassium balance, which then directly controls water balance to
maintain appropriate blood pressure and blood volume. People
with a deficiency of aldosterone, especially found in
association with cortisol deficiency in Addison's disease, have
low blood volume and therefore low blood pressure, low sodium
and high potassium. Just the opposite is seen in
hyperaldosteronism. Hyperaldosteronism causes high blood
pressure and low serum potassium. The serum sodium is usually in
the normal range. This is a rare disease and is an unusual cause
of hypertension. It is usually considered by physicians if they
find unexpectedly low potassium in an individual being treated
for hypertension. It generally causes no other specific symptoms
or signs. The physical examination in people with
hyperaldosteronism is totally normal. There are two types of
hyperaldosteronism: it can occur from hyperplasia in both
adrenal glands or from a benign (rarely malignant) tumor of one
of the adrenal glands. When the cause is a single adrenal tumor,
it is labeled Conn's Syndrome.
Hyperglycemia
Literally, too much (hyper) sugar (glykos) in the blood.
Hyperinsulimia
Elevated insulin in the blood.
Hyperlipidemia
High lipid (fat) levels in the blood.
Hypertension
Also known as high blood pressure, this condition is abnormally
high pressure or tension measured as resistance in the arteries
to the force of heart contractions resulting in pressure
variances.
"I have been on the Insulite
System for approx 3 months. I have lost 33 lbs, my liver
functions are normal and my A1C came back at 5.1, down from 8.03 months ago. I
was taking 10 Glucovance pills daily, now I take only 2 pills in the
AM. My blood sugar is normal, my energy is higher than it has been in
years and I feel great. Insulite along with a change in my diet has
changed my life.
I tell everyone that asks me what I have done to change my life, about the Insulite program.
Your product is fantastic. I have
cut out all sweets, flour, dairy and have no cravings."

"In less than 3 weeks I've started losing
weight again after being
"stuck" on Weight Watchers for about a year. I've lost about 4
lbs since
starting Insulite but more significantly my blood pressure is
well within normal limits now and I can tell my metabolism is
better. I am not getting that slump between meals and am able to control
between-meal snacking, and I have a lot of energy throughout the day rather
than periods where I need to nap. I just ordered the 6 months
supply. Thank you!"

"Researchers agree that insulin
resistance is central to the metabolic syndrome. When target
cells are unresponsive to insulin, the pancreas responds by
pouring even more insulin into the bloodstream, leading to high
levels of the hormone in the blood, a condition called
compensatory hyperinsulinemia. The high level of insulin in the
blood forces glucose into cells but also starts the events
leading to arterial damage and eventually a heart attack. Under
these conditions, a person may not manifest either diabetes or
heart disease but could well be on the way to either or both."
"I wanted to let you know how much I
appreciate your caring advice and guiding me towards taking control of my health.
It's hard to express in
words how long I have been trying to find the answers you have so easily
provided for me.
I am so excited about the positive changes in my health and I
can't wait to see where I am six months from now, yet alone the year. Thank
you again!"

"Simply losing 5-7% of your body fat (typically 10-15 pounds) and increasing your physical activity by taking a brisk walk 4-5 times a week can reduce your risk of developing Type
II Diabetes by almost 60%."
"I started your product and found
it really boosts my system,
helping me get off ground zero, and stop the spiral downwards.
It gave me the
energy to start exercising and prepare healthy meals.
You are all very supportive, even though I am on the other side
of the world
(Australia). I am very glad that I am on your product, your
weekly messages
are also very encouraging, when I am finding things a bit
harder. Thank you for everything."
"A non-pharmacologic treatment for these
patients is needed, since drugs prescribed to lower blood
pressure have been shown to actually worsen carbohydrate and
lipid metabolism in Syndrome X patients, negating the beneficial
effects of those drugs."
"I cannot believe the difference
the Insulite System has made in how I feel. My appetite has
changed tremendously. I do not crave carbs and sugar and my
appetite is somewhat diminished."

"...approximately 90% of
overweight Hispanic children with a family history for type 2 diabetes have at least one
feature of the metabolic syndrome and 30% possess the metabolic syndrome.
Our results support the view that improving insulin resistance may be crucial in the prevention
of both type 2 diabetes and premature cardiovascular disease in this at-risk subpopulation
of Hispanic youth."
