No other body organ except the heart and liver work as hard as the overworked pancreas. The pancreas is about the size of round long lemon, but its duties overwhelm all other body functions.

The pancreas is very unique because it is involved with both the digestive (exocrine) system and the endocrine system. It produces protease, which digests protein, amylase, which digests carbohydrates, lipase, which digests fats, plus pancreatin (protein) pepsin (dual) chymotrypsin, trypsin, and other enzymes. The pancreas also produces two very important hormones, insulin and glucagon. Insulin and glucagon both help regulate blood sugar levels. However, both together can only produce enough hormones to control about four ounces of sugar (glucose). When a person eats a candy bar or chronic amounts of other sugared dessert over four ounces, the remaining amount goes into the blood and to the liver, causing havoc with a person’s blood sugar, possible leading to diabetes.

Controlling insulin is one of the most important tasks a person can do for their health. Why? Because excess sugar and carbohydrates make the pancreas work overtime, producing more and more insulin.

Here lies the problem. Too much insulin production overwhelms the INSULIN RECEPTORS in the BODY CELLS. This makes the body cells insulin resistant. So instead of the pancreas sending glucose to the body cells to produce energy, which is the job of insulin, the excess glucose circulates in the blood. This creates high blood sugar levels in a person’s blood. This is the scenario that leads to diabetes, inflammatory disease, plus auto immune diseases.

But much more damage is created. Insulin is also a storage hormone. The chronic increased blood insulin in the blood, starts a conversion of the excess glucose into triglycerides and fat. This is why 35 to 45 percent of Americans are overweight (obese).

What are some of the things a person can do to help in controlling insulin secretion and lowering the blood sugar? Remember that high insulin production may also increase the blood pressure. There are several things that will be a great help.

1. Reduce and/or try to stop all sugar, sugared foods, carbohydrates, refined foods, and processed foods.

2. Take magnesium and chromium every day. About 80 percent of Americans are magnesium deficient. Also, a magnesium deficiency will help cause elevated insulin and high glucose levels. Also, if a person is over 55, it is wise to take calcium with the magnesium.

3. Take cinnamon. Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar.

4. Take vanadium. Vanadium helps control fat metabolism.

Taking these four steps will help a person help control extra insulin. It will give a person more energy, they will stay healthier, and it will help prevent many other diseases.

There are also other problems with excess insulin. It steals a person’s body of energy, causes fatigue, and drowsiness. It also makes a person vulnerable to many other diseases, including heart disease, liver disease, inflammatory gut disease, leaky gut, autoimmune disease, sticky blood, and maybe even cancer. So be very nice to your pancreas. It may be the very organ that can save your life, or one that can cause you much grief, tiredness, fatigue, and disease.

When the pancreas is not able to produce enough enzymes to break down the food, it can get inflammation of the pancreas. This results in a condition known as Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). EPI develops when the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to digest the food that is eaten. This deficiency can cause pain, bloating and diarrhea. With this condition, extra enzymes are needed to restore normal function and digestion.

Heavy continued alcoholic consumption and/or a high omega 6 fat consumption can cause the development of EPI, cystic fibrosis, inflammation of the pancreas, and possible pancreatic cancer.

Symptoms of pancreatic cancer; You would not be able to feel any lump or nodule in the pancreas, as it is behind the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. Pancreatic cancer is a hard cancer to detect, although new tests are beginning to find cancer, anywhere in the body.

Pancreatic cancer can also easily spread to the organs near by and the body. People with diabetes can be more prone to get pancreatic cancer. One sign of its presence is weight loss, diabetes, jaundice, or pain in the upper abdomen area. The pain can spread to the upper back. Jaundice will occur in about 50 percent of the pancreatic cancer cases. It is caused by a buildup of bilirubin, a compound of bile. Produced by the liver.

I mentioned before about an orthodontist, William Kelley, who developed pancreatic cancer. After having radiation and chemotherapy, to no avail, the oncologist gave up and gave William only two to four months to live. William, who had nutrition training, quickly did more research on alternative treatments of pancreatic cancer. He then cured his pancreatic cancer. After curing his cancer, he went on to treat his friends of cancer. Soon more and more people with diseases and cancer saw him for treatment. He then treated more than 20,000 patients, with a success rate of 75 to 85 percent. One of the first things that he claimed to be the most important, was the massive intake of pancreatic enzymes that he took. His great cancer cure book, Victory Over Cancer without Surgery, Chemotherapy or Radiation, can be obtained by calling: 623 327 1778. It is a great book on curing cancer with non invasive alternative treatment.

Endocrine Pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) exists with all pancreatic cancer patients. The cancer cells produce, digest, and use so much protein and sugar, that it leaves a huge pancreatic deficiency. The pancreas cannot produce enough pancreatic enzymes to digest the protein from the dead cancer cells, body cells that it destroys, protein eaten by the patient, and body cells around the cancer. Massive pancreatic enzymes are needed to make up for the deficiency. That is why it is so important, that with cancer, the number one treatment is to use massive amounts of pancreatic enzymes.

If a person is pregnant, breast feeding, has a blood disorder, or taking a blood thinner, they should check with a physician before entering a daily regime of pancreatic enzymes. It is important that a person take preventive pancreatic enzymes every day, with their supplement and minerals. There is a very important reason. Since the pancreas can only produce about four ounces of pancreatin and other enzymes, overeating more than four ounces of protein and sugar, sugar substances and omega 6 fats, leaves undigested protein, omega fats, and other food fragments in your blood stream. This next part is very important. The preventive pancreatin enzymes actually digest excess food particles in your blood stream.

There are two very good cancer and preventive cancer pancreatic enzymes, that can be taken for digesting excess substances in the blood, plus preventing cancer. They are solozymes, and wobenzym-N.

Solozymes can be obtained from [email protected] and by calling 817 458 9241. They are sold by John Kelley, the son of Dr. William Kelley, mentioned before as having pancreatic cancer, given two to four weeks to live, then saving his own life. Dr. Kelley went on to treat over 20,000 disease and cancer patients with a 75 to 85 percent success rate of curing their cancer. For preventing cancer, John Kelley started to take 6 solozyme tablets between meals each day.

The cancer preventive dosage for wobenzyme-N tablets is three to four tablets each day, between meals. They are very reasonable and can be gotten on the internet and/or at Amazon.

The facts above show why the pancreas is the Hercules of body organs. Keeping the pancreas happy is by eating the things that are healthy, plus not overeating, and especially with a lot of junk food. If you keep the pancreas happy, it will keep you happy, for a long time.

Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. graduated from the University Of Washington School Of Dentistry in 1957. After two years of service in the Air Force, he started a private practice in East Wenatchee, Washington. For the past 45 years his practice has included Orthodontics and TM Dysfunction treatment specializing in temporomandibular pain treatment, headache, head and neck pain control, functional jaw orthopedics, and straight wire orthodontics. Associated with mercury elimination, oral surgery, crowns and bridges is TMJ treatment, diet control, parasite elimination, intestinal cleansing and healing (wellness).

Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. has taught advanced courses for dentists on TM Dysfunction treatment, orthodontics and related pain control for more than 30 years. In 1972 he was the first dentist in Washington to use straight wire orthodontics and the first dentist to correct vertical deficiencies in children by placing vertical dimension-primary molar buildups and/or vertical (erupting) appliances. Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. was involved with the first group of dentists to recognize lateral tongue splinting in young infants and integrate functional and fixed techniques to correct vertical dimension deficiencies and condylar placement. He is the originator of vertical dimension-primary molar build ups, which help to correct deep bites and Otitus media in children. He invented the Loudon-Chateau Anterior Repositioning Appliance, the functional muscle malocclusion concept, the twelve commandments of occlusion and the vertical overbite domino rule. Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. has written numerous articles in several American and foreign dental journals and has lectured in over 50 cities and 7 foreign countries on functional jaw orthopedics, fixed wire orthodontics, Otitus media treatment and TM Dysfunction treatment. He has been instrumental in setting up criteria for teaching in the International Association For Orthodontics, including the certified instructor program.

Dr. Loudon is a member of The American Dental Association, Diplomat and Senior Instructor in the International Association for Orthodontics, and is a Diplomat of the American Academy of Pain Management. He also is a member of the American Orthodontic Society.
