		<description>Either diabetics and non-diabetics can be pH challenged. How could the
fella possibly generalize like that without testing? Does your doctor
know something about the it that the Nobel Laureate did not?

Here's exactly where he's wrong:

Diabetics have a higher than normal cancer rate. The doctor who
demonstrated that low cellular oxygen, which is caused by low pH, and
cancer, was awarded two Nobel prizes and nominated for a third for this
work.

One way to tell if the individual is pH challenged (cellular and
extracellular fluids) is with a saliva test as soon as the person
arises in the morning. Saliva pH should be very close to neutral, or
slightly alkaline. Litmus paper (range 5.5-7.5) is all you need for a
&lt;!--more--&gt;
quick check.

People with low saliva pH, under 6.8 or so, are courting cancer; oxygen
is neutralized rather than carried by the tissues in an acidic
environment.

This work is easily checked with work done by Otto Warburg, M.D.</description>

		<description>The easiest access is to go to the home page...and click on the
Files link on the right hand column.

Then just pick the one you want...;O)

		<description>Hi all

5 A1C is a great level to shoot for, and we should all do so, but My
take is a little different on how the damage is done. It isn't
instantaneous. The glucose has a higher density, and perhaps even
has crystals, that plugs up the very fine blood vessels. As the
blood flows through, some get caught in it,,,,some don't. The
longer and higher the BG's the more it accumulates. Its like dirty
oil in your car. The longer between oil changes, the worse your
whole car gets plugged up.

If High BG's caused instantaneous damage, those of us who have had
extremely high levels would be dead now. My 400+ for well over 6
months before diagnoses would have left me blind, and some people
have had even higher BG's for much longer, without undue
&lt;!--more--&gt;
damage,,,apparently.

Perhaps its just overt denial, but I sense my larger than average
stature (6'5&#34;), makes it so I have larger blood vessels, and I hope
this means less overall damage in the long run......pray for me..;O)

		<description>Hi Mary.

I downloaded the files from another list, Diabetes-Int, which I have
not been on for a while. I had to resubscribe to get them.

To tell the truth, I know not the copywrite status, but as far as I
am concerned, pass the information on. Odds are the authors feel
the same way, unless someone actually makes money off of them. They
are available to help those who need them.</description>
