Get This Fat Burning Hormone without a Prescription
Your body produces its own weapon of fat destruction. More than helping you look great, it can also ward off Type 2 diabetes and boost your energy. However, most people don’t know how to harness this lifesaving hormone. Fortunately, it’s as simple as learning when to eat …
Joan was scheduled for what was supposed to be a routine blood test, but it turned out to be one of the biggest turning points in her life. At 39 years old, she was striving to stay on top of her career. As an accountant, she worked long hours. Travel was a regular part of her work schedule and weekly meetings with clients were mandatory. Over time, she wasn’t able to keep up. Her energy had evaporated. That’s when she scheduled her doctor’s appointment.
Walking into the sterile environment of her family doctor, she wondered if it would help. “Would he find something wrong or suggest I choke down some sleeping pills or antidepressants?” she wondered. “Maybe I just need a vacation.”
A blood test revealed that Joan’s blood sugar was high at 150mg/dL. Anything above 125mg/dL is considered Type 2 diabetic or, more accurately, “insulin resistant.” When blood sugar rises, the body is unable to efficiently produce its energizing molecule ATP. And when ATP function declines, so does energy.
One of the best defenses against bad blood is a hormone known as glucagon. This is the “I can’t wait to wear a bathing suit” hormone. When released by the pancreas it works double-time to control blood sugar, while activating fat metabolism.
As the natural enemy to Type 2 diabetes, glucagon is your No. 1 defense against the pandemic killer. More exciting, you don’t need a prescription to have it. As the most effective pharmacy in the world, your body can make glucagon if you adhere to one simple habit: Eat only three meals per day, five hours apart. A good eating schedule to stick to is 7 a.m., noon, and 5 p.m. About 50 percent of your meals should consist of foods that do not give rise to bad blood – healthy fats from grass-fed beef, avocado, seeds, nuts, whole eggs, and coconut oil.
By consuming only three meals per day, you’re tapping into your innate ability to manufacture the lifesaving hormone. In contrast, when you divide your meals with snacks, your body responds with a fat-storing hormone known as insulin, which cannot co-exist with glucagon. As a result, weight gain ensues and blood sugar goes haywire … then everything goes downhill from there. Just ask Joan.
Once she learned of her bad blood and its natural enemy glucagon, Joan took charge of her health by harnessing the power of her internal pharmacy. She stopped snacking and avoided the juices and sodas offered at her company meetings. In a matter of weeks, her thinking became clearer. Getting out of bed in the morning was easier than ever. Her energy rebounded, even in the bedroom.
At her follow-up appointment two weeks later, her blood sugar dropped to 95mg/dL. Today, she tackles her work day like she did in her 20s – with determination, focus, and enthusiasm that lasts all day long.

You invited us to ask what we’d like you to write on – well, here’s my suggestion. I’d like to know how to beat asthma and allergies without using prescription drugs. I’ve used inhalers for years, but I’d like to get rid of them. Any advice?

I am reading Shane’s new book as one of my choices for alternative books I am required to read for naturopathic courses I am taking. This book has been a page turner and I cannot put it down. I highly recommend the book because it offers a little bit of everything for new comers to natural medicine and for citizens who have already delved into natural healing.
One thing I would like to see on Shane’s site is more follow up by him to the comments asked of him on his blogs.
IE: If he would answer the questions on an alternative supplement we can use in place of azomite for the “$1.41 cleanse” that would be much appreciated by me. I have all the other ingredients except for azomite.
Shane please let us know what else could be used in that cleanse in place of azomite and if you know please tell us dosages too. I already have food grade charcoal and food grade bentonite clay in my home. Would they work for a substitute for the azomite and if so-which one and how much should be used for the $1.41 cleanse?
Thanks for all the information and your efforts to enlighten the masses.

Kim J,
I will be interested to see what Shane offers for asthma and allergies too. For allergies we used NAET to help our youngest child who was afflicted with so many food and environmental allergies it made his life and ours miserable. NAET effectively dealt with them and it required no shots, no drugs, and no pain.
After spending thousands of dollars on useless RAST testing per traditional allergists only to be offered shots for life…and/or our son becoming a lifetime patient of an allergist who wanted to subject him to dangerous allergy drugs…we said no thanks.
After taking him to a renown environmental immunologist and putting our son through very expensive alternative P&N treatments only to be told to still avoid all allergens…try to live in a bubble.. we said no thanks.
Then we ventured into NAET and it works. It really does “eliminate” allergies and that is real healing. Just treating an allergy, or masking it with drugs, or being told to still avoid it all is not healing it.
Best of all.. due to the serious issue that mainstream insurance rarely if ever covers natural treatments that actually heal..If there is an NAET practitioner in a chiropractors office it can be billed under insurance for a chiropractic visit too.
FYI years ago our son was injured by vaccines to the point of a vaccine induced autism diagnosis…thus the flood of allergies poured in after vaccines wrecked his immune system.
Asthma has also been linked to vaccine damages and is a residual side effect of many prescription drugs and chemicals used in the home…on clothes/bedding, yard, personal care- etc. .
Today he is no longer autistic…serious diet changes, environmental clean up and cleansing his body…with a great neurodevelopmental home schooling program that pulled him through. All his labels were removed years ago.
Our sons injury is what threw us into the world of natural healing that I never knew of before. Coming from a family filled with mainstream practitioners…it has been quite an experience in a total re-education on health.

Hi Shane, Your article on blood sugar levels was very interesting. I have one friend who is diabetic , and I will forward your article to her. She gets quite sick with prescription drugs.
Your invitation to ask for articles we would like you to write about, was a great idea. My oldest daughter is 43 yrs. old, her kitten sat on her tummy one evening, and she said “something just did not feel right”, she had no pain, just a feeling. She made an appointment with a doctor at a hospital in Kelowna B.C. , went for a check up and examination, in late December 2009. Had an ultra sound, and results showed a Fibroid growth in her uterus, the size of a tennis ball. She was A sympathetic, no pain, no bleeding. They said most times these are non malignant, but until it was removed, and sent for biopsy, they could not say for sure.She went in for operation January 12th, they went in through her stomach, and then cut through muscle layer, then into uterus, to remove the growth. results will be in 2 weeks (26th Jan.) MY QUESTION IS , what causes these Fibroids?
I spoke with 3 other girlfriends, and they had had bleeding with their growths,and pain. Two had hysterectomies and growths removed. One also had a small growth within a fallopian tube.
One more question, could these growths have anything to do with “BIRTH CONTROL PILLS”
Would love to hear what you have to say about this.
Sincerely Judith

I’d like to know more about cooked versus raw foods. In particular, raw milk is getting a lot of traction due to its natural enzymes and other co-factors that make it a healthy food alternative to pasteurized, homogonized and hormone-injected milk. The discussion doesn’t end with milk and could include raw versus cooked of any food, like vegetables, meet, etc. Dr. Tim O’Shea of http://www.thedoctorwithin.com devotes an entire online chapter to this issue, reaching a conclusion that eating large quantities of raw food contributes substantially to the state of disease today in America.

I would like to know your insight on hypothyroid issues.
Once one is taking medication , is it really for life , or is there a natural way to revive a sluggish thyroid.
Lucy 10:10 am on July 26, 2010
Great insight about glucagon and “snacking”. This is a point not brought up in the otherwise inconclusive discussion “to snack or not to snack”. The concept that preoccupation with losing weight by eating “several small meals a day” at the expense of healthy metabolic function is a real eye-opener. Taking it one step further, consider who stands to gain by encouraging us to eat snack foods all day every day to get thin, and how stand to gain by people becoming diabetic? Thanks for the insight, Shane.

I would like to know, like Sandra above post on Feb 21st about the question on hypothyroid..do you really have to stay on Armour thyroid for a lifetime or are there alternative supplements to cure it? Also is there a really good multi vitamin, I am so tired of taking so many vitamins a day and which ones do you actually advise to take on a daily basis? Thanks for being such a warrior in the defense for human health!
Great job Shane!
