More Americans than ever are suffering with convenience diseases. Convenience diseases are those created by the individual with convenience, non nutritious, toxic foods. Fast food places are everywhere, including our hospitals giving the appearance that the food must be good for us because they are selling it in a hospital. Take a walk into a grocery store the aim is at making mealtimes convenient and easy for the busy parents. Prepackaged foodstuff is the normal diet of the American people. And the saddest part of this situation is the American people do not realize that they are creating there own disease. The result of diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides (Syndrome X) are all created from our diet. We have altered our cells normal function by the abundance of the wrong fuel that we are getting from our diet.

Our body's fuel sources are either glucose or fat. All cells but the brain prefer and function more efficiently from the burning of fat. However, Americans typical diet has converted from fat as our main source of energy to glucose causing a shift in the cells function out of necessity to rid the body of excess glucose. And as more and more glucose enters the system the body begins to store the glucose as fat. Another disorder that occurs with excess glucose is the cells eventually become resistant to the hormone insulin which escorts glucose into the cell. We have just created diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides. High blood pressure is soon to follow and that finalizes what is known as Syndrome X.

Much nutritional education is needed to change the cause of our cells necessary adaptation from the norm. However, in the meantime we are not doomed. Nutritional scientific researchers have created a breakthrough formula to uncouple the cells to allow more efficient burning of glucose and fat. Uncoupling of the cell simply means fatty acid oxidation that is not dependant on the body's metabolism or need for ATP.

Cells can not normally burn glucose and fat simultaneously, it is one or the other. The reason behind this is excess glucose that can not be used is stored as fat. If your body is getting the message to store fat it has no reason to send out the message to burn it. When in fat storage mode your body knows that there is an abundance of fuel that is already present to be burned.

To start the fat burning process your body would need to completely deplete it's stores of glucose to force the cells to start burning the stored fatty acids which produce a by-product called ketone acids. This is not a problem for healthy individuals; however for an insulin resistant, obese, diabetic this feat is impossible and even dangerous to attempt because the cells have stopped responding to the insulin therefore glucose cannot be burned out of the system and the individual already runs a high risk of excess ketone bodies (ketoacidosis). Uncoupling the cell is essential to regaining control over cell function and preventing further degeneration of all cells in the human body.

Uncoupling the cell involves releasing the stored fatty acids to become the main source of fuel and is burned and released from the system as carbon dioxide and heat. At the same time glucose is burned to accelerate the burning of fatty acids, however after being burned glucose is released as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and water for your body's energy needs. As we have discussed the burning of fatty acids produce a by-product of keto acids, however with the uncoupling formula, ketone bodies are recycled and used to accelerate the kreb's cycle all over again.

When working with diabetic individuals please note the formula brings sugar down very quickly. Glucose levels need to be monitored closely from the very first dose and oral or insulin doses adjusted accordingly.
