Re: curing diabetes
I think it’s interesting how common it is for diabetics to assert
that there is no cure for diabetes, claiming no responsibility
because it’s genetic as in the comment below, or claiming no
responsibility because everyone has it and will always have it,
and aguing some people are only in remission.
Some people simply refuse to take responsibility for inducing
their own disease and metabolic syndrome with an unnaturally high-
carb diet. These people resist going "low-carb" as they call it,
resisting also the information that a correct diet isn’t low-carb
at all but "adequate carb", even without sugar, corn, potatoes,
bread, pasta, sweet potatoes, yams and other starchy foods.
Simply put, we have failed to evolve a mechanism that allows us
to eat all these carbs without inducing disease, and these
unfortunates have proven it to themselves.
When you correct the unfortunate’s diet, the so-called disease of
type II diabetes goes away, but I’ve seen many diabetics spend
more creative time and effort searching for ways to break their
new diabetes-free diet than to follow it. I think many could take
a hint fom the candidiasis patients who are generally pretty
diligent because at least they get feedback by the way of
symptoms, right away, when they eat those high-carb foods.

PS Rachel is correct that gene expression can be changed from
outside the cell. Researchers knock out (switch off) genes all
the time, and you can too.

Duncan, (don’t fall of your chair but) I agree with your entire email :-))
Any genetic factor only has to do with predisposition towards diabetes
or we’d have it from birth:-))
Regardless what genes we are dealt - we all have responsibility for our
own health - and nothing stupid the American diabetes Association or any
doctor or genticist can say will change that basic fact.
It’s not useful to palm the problem off anywhere else. Having a bad deal
due to a predisposing gene is all the MORE reason to take responsibility
to do something about overcoming the problem that resulted.
It’s not an excuse to do nothing.
Good point.
Diabetes symptoms tend to be more insidious and easier to pretend to
ignore when we know they are there - it’s the responsible approach to
make them visible with a glucometer and chase them away with diet.
Chasing D-2 is not quite as simple as an overnight diet correction -
sometimes the pancreas takes a a long time to heal or in odd cases there
may be some other factor maintaining the diabetic state (as with
cortisol tumours in my case which I also have to take responsibility for
trying to eliminate).
But whatever the situation it is OUR responsibility and job to take
charge of managing our health including diabetes the best way we can -
not the geneticist or doctor’s job. We can ask their help - but it is
not their responsibility.
I got this principle from one of Dr Phil McGraw’s shows. I used to think
it was not my responsibility to lose weight - as after all I had
cortisol tumours and the doctors all told me losing weight was not
possible in the presence of 35 times the normal cortisol level.
Watching a show on weight loss, Dr Phil told the diabetics there
that being weight-loss resistant was not an excuse not to lose weight.
It was unfair but still their responsibility to work harder than normal
to do it anyway.
It was then I realized my own weight loss issues were also MY
responsibility to do all I could to improve - regardless what was
supposed to be possible. [Heck it would have been so much worse if I had
not! Actually I’d have died when the doctors predicted instead of
improving my health as I have done instead, against the predictions.]
So take your health in your own hands - your life and health and
happiness depend on it! Nobody else is going to do it for you!
Namaste,

re Iraq veterans and the symptoms they have from uranium exposure -
does nto mention diabetes as part of that syndrome (or I missed it
perhaps) but there is a documents list of symptoms cause by uranium
(specifically uranium nitricum) in homeopathy provings.
These provings are documented symptoms you can get from a
substance, as proved by mutiple human volunteers using a potentized
(stronger symptoms but safer substance) version of the substance.
Diabetes is one of the things you can get from uranium exposure.
These vets apparently do not know homeopathy or they could start using
these documented symptoms towards their case. There is good correlation
with what they experience.
Another Interesting observation to me:
I come from a family where diabetes is totally unknown - not even a
distant cousin has it. I have it, and obviously not for genetic reasons.
I grew up in Orkney South Africa - the site of the biggest Uranium
mine and uranium reduction plant in the Southern Hemisphere - Vaal Reefs
is the name of the mine. My dad and 15 others started the mine when I
was about 5 yrs old, as a gold mine. The uranium was discovered a few
years later, and so all the surface dumps from which gold had been
extracted (mountains of the dusty stuff brought up from 1 or 2 miles
underground) were reprocessed for uranium.
So there’s maybe a town to do research on uranium dust :-))
People there are a bit odd. There’s even a TV comedy show called "Orkney
snork nie" making fun of them.
Namaste,
