Hypoglycemia
DESCRIPTION
Hypoglycemia is an abnormally low blood sugar level.
SYMPTONS
Common symptoms may include anxiety, mood swings, hunger, palpitations, dizziness,
lightheadedness, shakiness, weakness, and profuse sweating. In prolonged or severe
cases, amnesia, confusion, headache, and impaired vision may be observed as a result
of the brain being deprived of glucose.
CAUSE
The causes of hypoglycemia are varied. It is known to occur due to:
- Too much insulin either by overdose of exogenous insulin without adequate glucose
intake or over-secretion of insulin by the pancreas (usually in the case of a tumor)
- Low glucagon production, which inhibits the body's ability to elevate glucose levels
in the blood
- Low adrenaline, noradrenalin, and cortisol, as with adrenal exhaustion
- Poor dietary choices (high sugar foods and high glycemic index foods) and/or irregular
eating habits
NUTRITIONAL PROTOCOL (for Hypoglycemia)
Due to the complexity of its etiology, it is important to determine the causes in
order for dietary adjustment and enzyme supplementation to be optimally effective.
The basic approach will be to control excess high glycemic index foods that exacerbate
the insulin secretion and create low blood sugar. Additionally, endocrine support
to help supplement the gluconeogenic hormones will be important.
Enzyme therapy balances the body in several ways. Enzymes work to improve digestion
and nutrient acquisition. Enzymes support the immune system by building healthy
organs and blood by reducing levels of toxicity from bacteria, viruses, parasites,
heavy metals, pesticides, and radiation poisoning.
**It is important to address the patient’s diet, exercise, and lifestyle on an individual
basis and in regard to body type (see Digestive Balance Protocol). Support
products are recommended as needed based on the patient’s condition. Enzyme therapy
can be used safely in conjunction with other medical therapies.
