Glucose toxicity: The worldwide problem and the all-natural solution
John F. Burd
Lysulin, Inc., USA
Glucose toxicity is an epidemic problem leading to the insulin resistance and the development of obesity, pre-
diabetes and Type 2 diabetes in both children and adults. In addition to poor health and early death, this is costing
our healthcare systems a fortune to treat diabetes and its complications. Glucose is not a passive bystander in our
bloodstream but is a toxic and reactive compound. Glucose reacts with all of the proteins in our body forming
Glycated Proteins. These glycated proteins progress to become what is known as Advanced Glycation End-products
Advanced Glycation End-products or AGEs. These AGEs are known to be the culprits in the disease complications
associated with diabetes including kidney failure, blindness, amputations and cardiovascular disease. Protein
glycation is also be the cause of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance not only leads to high blood glucose levels in
our bloodstream, but also leads to insulin depletion. When this happens, we may have to resort to injection of insulin
in an attempt to keep our blood glucose levels in the normal range. There is now an all-natural solution to the glucose
toxicity problem. In over 20 years of R&D and clinical studies, nutritional supplements have been proven to combat
glucose toxicity. Three important supplements having this ability are the Lysine, zinc and vitamin C. Combining
these three important supplements into one tablet makes a powerful weapon to combat glucose toxicity and protein
glycation. This weapon is Lysulin®. Unlike the available prescription drugs for type 2 diabetes which are directed at
the symptoms of diabetes (high blood glucose), Lysulin is the first product directed at the problem, which is glucose
toxicity and protein glycation. Clinical studies have proven that Lysulin lowers HbA1c better than the vast majority
of prescription drugs. Current therapy for type 2 diabetes and the history of studies proving the effectiveness of
Lysulin will be presented along with recent data from double blind placebo controlled studies with Lysulin.
