I believe Insulin Resistance (Metabolic Syndrome) is behind several diseases and I am better in so many ways, besides the T2, and excess stored fat. No more migraines, more energy, no acid reflux, better sleep, building muscle, and strength at 69 years old. I'm figuring out my supplements, but do more to shop for organic, grass-fed meats, the best greens I can find, and dairy. Here's my goto for all the info I can absorb on IR/Metabolic Syndrome.

I have been on it more or less consistently since January of this year, it is now November, and I have lost over sixty pounds! I had my appt with the gi doctor and he said I cured myself! Fatty liver is reversed and he said to leave the gallstones alone unless they bother me.

I am reverting back to my healthier ways again after noticing these bad habits creeping back in - it is stress related for me!
Check out The Liver Cleansing Diet book as a guide, my mom got it for me along time ago and I never read it until I got the scary results from the doctor.

What I found was insulin resistance! Looking back to when I was suffering full-blown fibromyalgia, I WAS eating like crap... Lots of carbs. To get healthy, I did nearly everything on EC for FM, ate low carb, started exercising... And started to heal. But, I think that insulin resistance was a large part of my FM. I feel REALLY crappy right now and can't wait for the insulin to clear out... and I hope this will be the last time carb overload temps me.

1 tbsp Coconut Oil
1 tbsp Chocolate or Carob chips (fruit juice sweetened if you need to watch your sugars)
Put both in a mug or small pyrex and microwave for 15 seconds or until its just melted or, if you avoid microwaves as I do and have the time, place in shallow boiling water until it melts. Mix well.
Then pour over your favorite ice cream or frozen desert. It'll harden in about 30 seconds. What a treat! And it adds this great mild coconut flavor to it.

It should be noted that aspartame poisoning breaks down into formaldehyde and methanol alcohol and one of the effects of poisoning is metabolic acidosis, and insulin resistance.
This insulin resistance can make people who are already diabetic much worse. So if there are unbelievers out there try it at your own risk taking it, and trying to get to normal is not easy either. It is therefore best to avoid aspartame in foods and drinks, especially medicine, which seems to be much worse if the aspartame was added to the N Acetyl Cysteine. For some reason the N Acetyl Cysteine were antagonistic to certain supplements that promote lowering of blood sugar, but in this case it promoted higher blood sugar and higher metabolic acidosis.
In another case I have noted some reported having acid reflux from taking aspartame added foods, since it activated metabolic acidosis.
The information from my own observation is confirmed from another place, which provided basically the same observations I did concerning this issue. What is different is that I have found an antidote which help to some extent aspartame poisoning through taking about 1000-2000 i.u. of natural vitamin E, sodium citrate and potassium citrate (three times a day for over several days) to reduce metabolic acidosis, some vitamin B complex, and granulated lecithin. There is a study that does show this condition is helped with vitamin E in a study of methanol poisoning. Vinegar is a possible methanol poisoning in my books because I have found that whenever methanol causes skin to burn, I apply the vinegar and it stopped the inflammation or burns. I suspect it is this burns which is what causes the glandular function to be damaged bringing on insulin resistance and possible remedy to stop from diabetic induced by aspartame. Although I suspect the remedy may require something like 2 tablespoon of vinegar plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, or vinegar is taken alone. However, some people who DON'T LIKE vinegar in this case may take pickles (pickled cucumber) as a possible antidote. It is the acetic acid or even the acetate which reduces the glandular inflammation and the vinegar/acetate may have neutralize the effects. It is this reason why vinegar or even apple cider vinegar reduces blood sugar in certain people. While the whys are arguable, it does work for certain cases, especially in event of a food poisoning from aspartame. So if the cola companies tries to sell aspartame in school, this would not be a solution for diabetes in children, it is much worse than eating sugar. I should know, I tested the aspartame, and the sugar levels don't reduce, even from exercise! The article on effects of vinegar reducing sugar levels is posted below too, as a reference.
