Insulin and epilepsy

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Thank you very much for posting all the good information on fats and

oils and the keto diet. I am an Udo fan as well.

Interesting what you say about insulin. Have you followed up on the idea

of pancreas support?

The Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas produce four secretions:

Glucagon,from alpha cells, which increases blood sugar level

Insulin, from beta cells, which reduces blood sugar level

Somatostatin, from delta cells, which controls rate of absorption of

nutrients from the blood stream

Picolinic acid, necessary for zinc absoprtion

Of course, zinc is required to absorb vitamins, especially Vitamin C

There is a herb from India, called Shardunikha (Gymnemna sylvestre) that

Dr. says causes regrowth of the Islets of Langerhans after they

have been damaged by drugs or pasteurized homogenized cow's milk.

Also, chromium and vanadium are insulin helpers.

The other secretions of the pancreas are:

Trysinogen and chymotrypsinogen, converted in the duodenum to trypsin:

breaks down protein; breaks down fibrin in blood clots; dissolves cancer

tumors

Lipase : breaks down fats (involved in the keto diet)

Amylase : breaks down starches

Maltase: converts maltose into glucose

Sodium bicarbonate : neutralizes gastric juice.

Best of Health!
