Metabolic Activation Therapy is a well-tested treatment for diabetes that effectively mimics the action of a normal pancreas. Performed on a weekly basis, the process delivers steady, measured doses of insulin to the liver, thereby enhancing the organ’s function. By improving the function of the liver, the treatment enhances the metabolism of the patient. By correcting problems in the metabolism, the treatment improves hypertension control; slowing or even arresting the progression of complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, and slow-to-heal wounds; and increasing energy levels. A patient arrives at the clinic fasting without a morning insulin dose, then receives intravenously a series of timed pulses of medication over a one-hour period. The patient then rests for an hour, and the process is repeated twice more over the course of the day. Although the treatment requires that about six hours each week be spent at the clinic, patients who have been unsuccessful at treating their illness with traditional methods find the results to be well worth it.
