The researchers and their colleagues discovered that the high levels of blood sugar cause a change to the structure of channels that allow for the release of calcium into the nerve cells. This in effect forces them open and the overload of calcium into the cells causes them to become hyperactive. This high level of activity can lead to various effects, such as a slight tingling in the arms and legs or an excruciating pain.
Here is the article.
This blog will be a compilation of all of the relevant health information that I come across as I do research on the internet.

'Trigger' for stress processes discovered in the brain
At the Center for Brain Research at the MedUni Vienna an important
factor for stress has been identified in collaboration with the
Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm (Sweden). This is the protein
secretagogin that plays an important role in the release of the stress
hormone CRH and which only then enables stress processes in the brain to
be transmitted to the pituitary gland and then onwards to the organs. A
current study on this molecular switch has now been published in the
top-ranked EMBO Journal.
"If, however, the presence of secretagogin, a
calcium-binding protein, is suppressed, then CRH (= Corticotropin
Releasing Hormone) might not be released in the hypothalamus of the
brain thus preventing the triggering of hormonal responses to stress in the body," explains Tibor Harkany of the Department of Molecular Neurosciences at the MedUni Vienna.

The real reason that wheat is toxic, and its not the gluten
The stories became far too frequent to ignore.
Emails from folks with allergic or digestive issues to wheat in the United States experienced no symptoms whatsoever when they tried eating pasta on vacation in Italy.
Confused parents wondering why wheat consumption sometimes triggered autoimmune reactions in their children but not at other times.
In my own home, I’ve long pondered why my husband can eat the wheat I prepare at home, but he experiences negative digestive effects eating even a single roll in a restaurant.
There is clearly something going on with wheat that is not well known by the general public. It goes far and beyond organic versus nonorganic, gluten or hybridization because even conventional wheat triggers no symptoms for some who eat wheat in other parts of the world.
What indeed is going on with wheat?

Saturated Fat: The Forbidden Food You Should Never Stop Eating
Conventional medical authorities say that consumption of saturated animal fats is bad for you and causes heart disease.
But a hundred years ago, fewer than than one in one hundred Americans were obese, and coronary heart disease was unknown.
The Procter and Gamble started marketing Crisco as a new kind of food -- the first commercially marketed trans fat. Crisco was originally used to make candles and soap, but with electrification causing a decline in candle sales,
Procter and Gamble decided to promote the fat as a “healthier” all-vegetable-derived shortening

According to LewRockwell.com:
“Feeding high doses of fat and cholesterol to omnivores, like rats and dogs, does not produce atherosclerotic lesions in them ...
In fact, it turns out that people who have highest percentage of saturated fat in their diets have the lowest risk of heart disease ...
The last word on this subject should go to Julia Child ... Enjoy eating saturated fats, they’re good for you!”

Reversing the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome
By Michael P. Ciell, RPH
Metabolic Syndrome (aka Syndrome X, or MetSyn), with its four hallmark symptoms of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia, is an increasing health risk for the U.S. population.
In March 2005, the National Institutes of Health and the New England Journal of Medicine published a paper stating that because of this epidemic, the current generation is projected to have a shorter life expectancy then the previous one — for the first time in recorded history. Since then, things have gotten worse.1
The crisis continues despite changes in the USDA food pyramid, the emergence of new pharmaceutical agents (especially for pre-diabetes and type II diabetes), the removal of soda vending machines from schools, and even first lady Michelle Obama’s crusade against obesity. MetSyn, with its comorbidities (cardiovascular disease, stroke, blindness, amputations, etc.), accounts for the majority of healthcare dollars being spent.

Top 4 ways to improve liver function
(NaturalNews) Living in a world that has toxins at every turn has left
our liver function in a hot mess. Everyday touches with toxins in our
food, air, water, personal care, and household products has slowly but
surely created a burden on this hard working organ that has compromised
our ability to detoxify properly on a day-to-day basis.
In order to reverse those consequences and optimize your liver function going forward, keep these 4 factors in mind.
You need to rest your digestive tract by eating smaller and lighter meals that are nutrient dense and easily assimilated and always stopping when you feel around 80% full. Some good options that fit this bill are low sugar smoothies, juices, salads, soups, and fermented foods like sauerkraut and coconut kefir. Stay as raw and low sugar as possible so as to rest your liver function and provide it with the necessary enzymes to properly do its job of detoxification.

About that overwhelming 97-98% number of scientists that say there is a climate consensus…
Larry Bell writes in his weekly Forbes column about that oft repeated but less than truthy “98% of all scientists” statistic. Supposedly, this was such an easy and quick to do survey, it was a no-brainer according to the two University of Illinois researchers who conducted it:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/18/about-that-overwhelming-98-number-of-scientists-consensus/To maximize the response rate, the survey was designed to take less than 2 minutes to complete, and it was administered by a professional online survey site ( www.questionpro.com ) that allowed one-time participation by those who received the invitation.

Dangers of Statin Drugs: What You Haven’t Been Told About Popular Cholesterol-Lowering Medicines
Hypercholesterolemia is the health issue of the 21st century.
It is actually an invented disease, a “problem” that emerged when health
professionals learned how to measure cholesterol levels in the blood.
High cholesterol exhibits no outward signs–unlike other conditions of
the blood, such as diabetes or anemia, diseases that manifest telltale
symptoms like thirst or weakness–hypercholesterolemia requires the
services of a physician to detect its presence. Many people who feel
perfectly healthy suffer from high cholesterol–in fact, feeling good is
actually a symptom of high cholesterol!

Vaccination Causes Autism – Say US Government & Merck’s Director of Vaccines
A New Scientist article 29 June 2010 by Jim Giles states:-
We still do not know what causes autism.“
That is not correct. Here we set out four ways autistic conditions are caused and confirmed by statements from the current President of pharmaceutical giant Merck’s Vaccines Division, by US Government agencies, by the US Federal Court and in formally published academic journal papers.
If you read nothing else we strongly recommend you read this PDF Download – Text of May 5th 2008 email from US HRSA to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News]. In it the US Health Resources Services Administration [HRSA] state to CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson
We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.” [Text added 10 April 2011]http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/vaccination-causes-autism-%E2%80%93-say-us-government-merck%E2%80%99s-director-of%C2%A0vaccines/

LDL “Bad cholesterol” Indicates an Amino Acid Deficiency, 99 Year Old Researcher Says
"
While writing about the causes of heart disease for the journal Clinical Lipidology, Kummerow made a simple observation that “connected the dots” for him, he said. He noticed that, unlike other cholesterol-carrying molecules in the blood, LDL includes only a single apo-protein, called ApoB. And ApoB lacks the amino acid tryptophan.
“LDL is not a marker of heart disease,” Kummerow said. “It’s a marker of ApoB.” And ApoB is a marker of a lack of tryptophan, he said.
Numerous studies have shown that the other cholesterol-carrying components of blood plasma – high-density lipoprotein (HDL), very high-density lipoprotein (VHDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicrons – all include two or more Apo-proteins, Kummerow said. HDL, for example, is made of ApoA-I and ApoA-II, which together are made up of all of the essential amino acids (those that cannot be synthesized in the body and so must come from the diet)."

CDC Caught Hiding Data Showing Mercury in Vaccines Linked to Autism
Health Impact News Editor Comments
In a press release issued recently, one that almost no mainstream media sources have bothered to report, it was announced that Dr. Brian Hooker had finally received documents from the CDC through a Freedom of Information Act that revealed the CDC had access to data linking Thimerosal in vaccines to autism, non-organic sleep disorders, and speech disorders.
Two members of Congress helped Dr. Hooker draft his letter to the CDC, after having spent nearly 10 years submitting over 100 Freedom of Information Acts to no avail.
This information, so far, has been completely blacked out of the mainstream media.

Merck’s Former Doctor Predicts that Gardasil will Become the Greatest Medical Scandal of All Time
Health Impact News Editor
Dr. Dalbergue (pictured above), a former pharmaceutical industry physician with Gardasil manufacturer Merck, was interviewed in the April 2014 issue of the French magazine Principes de Santé (Health Principles). You can read it here (in French): http://ddata.over-blog.com/ xxxyyy/3/27/09/71/2012-2013/ Juin-2013/Dr-Dalbergue– Gardasil–plus-grand-scandale- de-tous-les-tem.pdf

Dr. Dalbergue (pictured above), a former pharmaceutical industry physician with Gardasil manufacturer Merck, was interviewed in the April 2014 issue of the French magazine Principes de Santé (Health Principles). You can read it here (in French): http://ddata.over-blog.com/
Excerpts:
The full extent of the Gardasil scandal
needs to be assessed: everyone knew when this vaccine was released on
the American market that it would prove to be worthless! Diane Harper, a
major opinion leader in the United States, was one of the first to blow
the whistle, pointing out the fraud and scam of it all.
Gardasil is useless and costs a fortune! In addition, decision-makers at all levels are aware of it!
Cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome,
paralysis of the lower limbs, vaccine-induced MS and vaccine-induced
encephalitis can be found, whatever the vaccine.
I predict that Gardasil will become the
greatest medical scandal of all times because at some point in time, the
evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine, technical and
scientific feat that it may be, has absolutely no effect on cervical
cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives
and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the
manufacturers.
There is far too much financial interest for these medicines to be withdrawn.

Studies Prove Without Doubt That Unvaccinated Children Are Far Healthier Than Their Vaccinated Peers
A study from the 1990s has come to light, proving that compared to
unvaccinated children, vaccinated children were more likely to suffer
from asthma, eczema, ear infections, hyperactivity and many other
chronic conditions. Furthermore, the study identified that there was a
ten-fold increase in the incidence of tonsillitis in the children who
were vaccinated, and a total lack tonsillectomy operations among the
children who were unvaccinated.
In 1992, the Immunization Awareness Society (IAS) conducted a survey to examine the health of New Zealand’s children. Unsurprisingly, the results of their study indicated that unvaccinated children were far healthier than vaccinated children.
Questionnaires were given out to IAS members, their friends and their associates asking various health questions. A total of 245 families returned their questionnaires, giving the researchers a total of 495 children surveyed. Of these children, 226 were vaccinated and 269 were unvaccinated.

Chemotherapy myth shattered: toxic drugs cause more cancer than they prevent
(NaturalNews) New research funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has shattered the prevailing myth that chemotherapy drugs actually fight cancer. To the contrary, researchers from Harvard University and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, (UMA) found that these clinical poisons, though sometimes initially effective at stemming the growth and spread of existing tumor cells, eventually induce major stem cell damage that causes even more cancer.
Publishing their findings in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the team that worked on the project investigated how chemotherapeutics affect the body systematically by testing them out on fruit flies. According to an announcement about the study, scientists administered human-equivalent doses of chemotherapy drugs to Drosophila, a type of fruit fly, that had been spawned with a human cancer-causing gene, which activated in the flies' intestinal stem cells.
