How Reviling Wives Are Destroying the Church (And What To Do About It)

"In this episode, we talk with Kevin Griffin, pastor of counseling at Refuge Church, about the problems feminism has created in the church, especially by allowing women’s sins to go unaddressed.

In Proverbs, we have various warnings against brawling or contentious women, yet in the church today it is seldom you will see pastors address such women.

We’ll also talk about David Edgington’s forthcoming book from 

@New_Christendom

 “White Knights and Reviling Wives.” Not only is the book helpful at diagnosing this problem, it also provides practical tools for dealing with reviling women. 

Finally, Kevin and 

@Eric_Conn

 will talk about practical tips for husbands and counselors in dealing with difficult situations. Should you counsel them together or alone? How do you confront these sins?"

Dietary Requirements

The dietary requirements of the study included a plant-centered approach with high intake of nutrients involved in methylation biosynthetic pathways, such as folate and betaine, along with cofactors and modulators for TET demethylases (e.g., alpha ketoglutarate, vitamin C, and vitamin A) and polyphenolic modulators of DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) (e.g., curcumin, EGCG, rosmarinic acid, quercetin, luteolin). The diet also incorporated limited nutrient-dense animal proteins, restricted carbohydrates, and included mild intermittent fasting to lower glycemic cycling. Participants were supplemented daily with a fruit and vegetable powder rich in polyphenolic modulators of DNMT activity and a probiotic providing Lactobacillus plantarum.

Life Style Requirements 

The lifestyle guidance in the study included a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise per day, at least 5 days per week, at an intensity of 60-80 percent of maximum perceived exertion.

Twice-daily breathing exercises that elicit the Relaxation Response were prescribed for stress reduction. It was recently demonstrated that 60 days of relaxation practice designed to elicit the Relaxation Response, 20 minutes twice per day, could significantly reduce DNAmAge as measured by the Zbieć-Piekarska clock in their group of healthy participants (though not in their ‘patient’ group).

This study aimed to optimize sleep, with a recommendation for at least seven hours nightly. Seven hours is generally considered to be healthy.

Takeaways

Eat as close to the earth as possible.  Micronutrients play a big part in the diet that was prescribed.

Supplements for High Blood Sugar

1. Berberine

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S037887411400871X?via%3Dihub

The study investigates the efficacy and safety of berberine, derived from traditional Chinese herbs, in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

They conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 randomized controlled trials involving 2569 patients. The findings suggest that berberine, when combined with lifestyle interventions or conventional medications, shows promising effects in lowering blood sugar levels in diabetes, reducing cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemia, and lowering blood pressure in hypertension. Importantly, no serious adverse reactions were reported across these trials. However, the study notes limitations in the quality of the included studies and suggests the need for better-designed, larger trials to further validate berberine's therapeutic benefits.

Overall, it suggests berberine could be a cost-effective alternative for patients with these conditions, especially those with limited financial resources.


2. Apple cider Vinegar

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jan.14255

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of vinegar consumption in improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The researchers conducted a thorough search across various databases and identified six relevant studies involving 317 patients. Their meta-analysis revealed that vinegar intake significantly improved fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Additionally, secondary analyses indicated a notable reduction in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein after the intervention. However, they highlighted variations in vinegar content among the studies and the relatively small sample sizes, cautioning against generalizing the results to larger populations. This review adds to the existing evidence by providing quantitative data on the positive effects of vinegar on glycemic control, specifically in terms of HbA1c and fasting blood glucose levels.

The findings suggest that clinicians could consider incorporating vinegar consumption as part of dietary advice for patients with diabetes.


3. Cinnamon

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6425402/

This study delved into the impact of varying cinnamon intake on several blood parameters and BMI among 41 healthy adults over 40 days. Divided into three groups, participants consumed 1g/day, 3g/day, or 6g/day of cinnamon. Assessments included preprandial blood glucose (PrBG), postprandial blood glucose (PoBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and body mass index (BMI).

The results indicated that differences in weight, BMI, and HbA1c values before and after the cinnamon intake were not statistically significant across all groups. However, significant differences were observed in average PrBG and PoBG measurements. Specifically, the group consuming 6g/day of cinnamon showed a notable difference in average PrBG measurements, and all three groups exhibited significant differences in average PoBG measurements after 20 and 40 days of consumption.

The study's conclusion emphasizes the potential positive impact of consuming 3–6g of cinnamon on certain blood parameters. The suggestion is made to raise awareness among individuals about the potential benefits of regular cinnamon consumption.


4. alpha-lipoic acid

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21666939/

This research aimed to explore the impact of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) treatment over two months on fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin resistance (IR), and glutathione peroxidase (GH-Px) activity in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Conducted at Motahari Clinic, Shiraz, Iran, affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences from May to October 2006, the study involved 57 T2DM patients split into two groups: one receiving ALA (300 mg daily) and the other a placebo, determined by systematic randomization. Participants were monitored for eight weeks, with blood samples drawn after overnight fasting and two hours post-breakfast to assess FBG, 2-hour postprandial glucose (PPG), serum insulin levels, and GH-Px activity.

Results indicated a noteworthy decrease in FBG and PPG levels, IR measured by the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA index), and GH-Px levels among the ALA group. Comparisons between initial and final FBG and IR levels in the ALA-treated group versus the placebo group showed significant differences.

The study's conclusion lends support to the use of ALA as an antioxidant in the management of diabetic patients, suggesting its potential benefits in mitigating FBG, PPG, IR, and enhancing GH-Px activity in T2DM individuals.


5. Vitamin D


https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07315724.2015.1026427?journalCode=uacn20


This study aimed to assess the impact of vitamin D supplementation on glycemic control and lipid profile in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).


One hundred T2DM subjects received a daily dose of 4500 IU of vitamin D for two months. Measurements of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and lipid profile were taken before and after the supplementation.

Post-supplementation, a significant increase in mean 25(OH)D levels was observed (baseline: 16 ± 5.3 ng/ml vs. after supplementation: 49.2 ± 17.7 ng/ml, p < 0.05). FBG and HbA1c levels notably decreased following supplementation. While overall lipid profiles weren't significantly affected, an analysis correlating 25(OH)D percentiles with lipid levels showed that individuals with high 25(OH)D levels (>61 ng/ml) exhibited lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels compared to those in lower or middle percentiles. Additionally, higher percentile participants showed significantly elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Notably, only triglyceride levels in females were notably decreased by the supplement.

The study concludes that vitamin D supplementation could be advantageous for individuals with diabetes due to its positive effects on glycemic control. Moreover, individuals with higher 25(OH)D levels demonstrated improved lipid profiles, particularly with reduced total cholesterol and LDL-C. However, lipid profile changes were limited except for reduced triglycerides in females.
