DIABETES, HOW I SEE IT

I believe that it is possible to overcome, heal or cure most diabetes 2 and

early diabetes 1, and possibly even some cases of advanced diabetes 1, while

others with advanced diabetes 1 can be greatly improved. I further believe

that many or most of the serious consequences of this disease are due to side

effects of drugs and poor food choices rather than to the disease process

itself.

Diabetes 2 is entirely due to wrong food choices and, therefore, can be

corrected with an appropriate diet as shown in _Holistic Diabetes Treatment_

instead drugs for short-term improvement can only lead to complications in the

long term. Drugs may convert more sugar into fatty acids and cholesterol,

leading to clogged arteries and capillaries, or they may stimulate a weak

pancreas

to overproduce insulin until it is exhausted. Drugs also have other side

effects, and may damage liver, kidneys, eyes and heart. It is even worse if

additional insulin is used to overcome insulin resistance, although insulin may

be useful as a temporary measure if the insulin-producing capacity of the

pancreas is exhausted.

According to Doctors W.A. Philpott and D.K. Kalita (Victory Over Diabetes,

Keats, 1983) the overwhelming evidence of studies shows a shortened life

expectancy and more serious complications from using diabetic drugs. The death

rate actually doubled in those taking oral diabetic drugs. Most of these same

drugs are still in use today.

The accepted treatment for type 1 diabetes is equally unsatisfactory.

Traditional diabetes diets are too high in readily available glucose, and

therefore require excessive amounts of insulin. Glucose in excess of immediate

requirements for producing energy and replenishing glycogen stores is converted

into fats and cholesterol by a high level of externally supplied insulin,

resulting in overweight, clogged arteries and capillaries, and deterioration of

most organs and body functions.

These adverse effects can be minimized with a diet that is low in

glucose-yielding carbohydrates, and supplies these in a slowly released form.

This is

possible with a diet based on small meals or snacks of spirulina, unheated

proteins and fats, sprouted legumes and apples, in addition to

glucose-alternatives such as xylitol, fructose, and lemon juice.

With this only a minimum of long-acting insulin is required to keep the

blood sugar level in a normal or acceptable range most of the time. If you gain

more weight than is normal or desirable for your body structure, then you use

too much insulin, and need to reduce the intake of glucose-yielding

carbohydrates.

Presently no serious attempt is made to improve or restore pancreas

functions and insulin production. However, I found that early diabetes 1 can be

overcome by stopping the autoimmune attack on the pancreas. Restoring a healthy

intestinal flora, eliminating any microbial infestation of the pancreas,

avoiding nutritional and chemical triggers of immune attack, and using an

appropriate diet and supplements, are most important in this regard.

While to my knowledge so far no one has tried, I believe there is a

reasonable chance that some insulin production can be restored even with

advanced

diabetes 1 (several years after onset of the disease). In addition to the

measures outlined so far, I see the greatest potential in working with energies

and

energy medicine, including guided imagery.

ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ‘HUMAN’ INSULIN

This is part of a presentation given by Jenny Hirst, Co-Chair of the UK

Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust in October 1997 at the conference " A Voice

for

the Guinea Pig? " organised by Consumers for Ethics Research (CERES, P.O.Box

1365, London N16 0BW). It shows the downside of genetically engineered insulin.
