Diabetes Weblog

Lynn, Fiona, Linda, Thanks for the suggestions about the hormones. My
daughter has been diabetic for almost 2 years, I thought I was looking for
diabetes (my mom was a type 1 diabetic) but it slipped by me. It happened
during my busiest time, spring (I had a garden center) her blood sugar was
1188 they flew her to a larger hospital the country hospital wasn’t equipped
to take care of her. We got into a routine pretty quick because I grew up
with a type 1 and my husband was recently diagnosed as a type 2 a couple of
years ago. She has kept her h1c in the 7’s until last month and it went up
to 8.2 (hormones I think.) I had been looking at Hulda Clarks books for
several years because my mom had also been diagnosed with multi system
autoimmune degeneration, and I was looking for something to help her.
Unfortunately she did not want to try any of the cleanses (if it was that
simple why didn’t the doctors use it?) I did take my mom for clelation
therapy and we did see improvement but my dad thought he was wasting money
and it wasn’t working fast enough. I would recommend every diabetic educate

Lynn,
The reason I asked about the cleanse you talked about is that my daughter is
a type 1 and we have been using the parasite cleanse herbs. We have had some
interesting results, such as reduced need for insulin as much as 1/3 to 1/2,
passing of many parasites, clearing of several types of skin problems ect.
But I have not been able to talk her into doing the liver cleanse (olive
oil& grapefruit juice) and from what I read is a very important part of the
clean up program. I have told her all the information and promised we would
wait until she was ready to try it. We have been able to avoid increasing
the amounts of insulin that seems to be expected by her doctor, whether it
is because she is still in the honeymoon stage or the parasite cleanse I
don’t know. She is starting into puberty and we are starting to see
unexplained spikes in blood sugars, I have not heard of anything to help
with the hormone fluctuation of puberty except time.

The only necessary thing that the body must have everyday is protein. The
body will start digesting its own protein sources like muscles and the heart
is a muscle.

Back in the 70’s they had the liquid protein diet and some of the people
died. Their hearts were 1/2 digested.

That’s why I wondered how long you could stay on this. I also wondered if
you could just do it during the week and then switch to real food on the
weekend.

You are so right. I don’t think they should be together. It also seems that
the ADA seems to focus more on Type 1s. Not that I wouldn’t love to see a
cure for type 1s, but they seem to have seen many more advances that type
2’s. Like transplants, and the pump.

Just had to send this eye-opening piece on to all of you!

When we pick up a product at the local grocery store, most of us like
to think we are getting something that has been tested and proven to
be safe. After all, we have laws to protect our health and safety,
don’t we? Actually, the government has very limited power to regulate
manufacturers, or require testing of their products.

Here are some disturbing facts:

A product that kills 5-% of lab animals through ingestion or
inhalation can still receive the federal regulatory designation
non-toxic . Of the 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household

Phyllis - your comment about all the Type 1’s you know personally being
thin: I NEVER put this together before, but I can say the exact same thing!
And on the contrary, almost all the II’s are on the heavy side to
dangerously obese!

Sure wish I knew why they named these two totally difference processes
"diabetes". They have so very little in common!

All of the Type 1’s I know personally are very thin.
