Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi, Type 2 diabetes does not happen overnight. It takes years to develop. At first it was thought that the pancreas did not make enough insulin. Then the theory was that the insulin made by the pancreas was somehow defective. But the insulin used to work. Now it does not. Why not? Because the problem is not the insulin. It is the membrane of the cell walls that no longer allow insulin to work properly. So, sugar gets dumped into the bloodstream instead of nourishing the body as it should. It is my opinion that cells become insensitive to insulin as a direct result of eating dead foods and bad fats, such as hydrogenated oils. So, what can you do to make the cells sensitive to insulin again? My father summed it up for me one day, long ago when he was still alive. " Linda, once you get diabetes, your life is over. If you want to know if you can eat something, put it in your mouth. If it tastes good, spit it out. It's not for you. " Seriously, below is a link that contains information all diabetics should know. http://www.cancertutor.com/Diabetes/Diabetes_Type_II.htm Regards, Linda Bastida --- On Thu, 9/17/09, rrbm66 <rrbm66 wrote: rrbm66 <rrbm66 << >> hi any natural cure from D M Thursday, September 17, 2009, 10:23 AM hello i am newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes melites.. 43 year,weight 230 pounds...any natural remedes?any informations? please////i am sooo scared. thanks for reading my post Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I was diagnosed a type II diabetic back in 2001. I probably was an undiagnosed diabetic for a decade or longer. I started out on the ADA diet the docs wanted me to use. I took the diabetic meds the docs prescribed. I felt utterly dreadful I felt the meds were poisoning me. I began exploring supplements. I realized the " diabetic diet " was filled with carbs. The problem with type ii diabetics is NOT a lack of insulin. It is insulin resistance. The diabetic meds just force the pancreas to put out more insulin. When blood insulin levels are high, the insulin erodes arterial linings. Heart disease is listed as a " diabetic complication " . But it is really a complication arising from taking diabetic meds. KIidney failure and Liver failure are also called " diabetic complication " but they are really side effects of the diabetic drugs. I am on a very low carb diet. The body can be trained to burn fats instead of glucose. I take in a lot of coconut oil each day. which provides energy. I take in a lot of omega 3 fish oils (an ounce a day). Much of insulin resistance arises from eating the wrong fats so the cell membranes are not made of the correct fats. I lost about 100 pounds over 3-4 years. One of the problems with low carb diet is the body will catabolize muscle when it wants carbs. My muscles were wasting away. I discovered undenatured whey (I use NOW brand whey protein isolate). High protein diet is hard on kidneys. Lots of whey in the diet does not stress out the kidneys, and can be catabolized to make what glucose the body needs. I take lots of supplements and many vitamins. Very important to monitor blood sugar daily. If you have food cravings, you may be leptin resistant. And food cravings make on gain weight and keep gaining more weight. I would suggest reading " The Rosedale Diet " or other books dealing with leptin resistance. Both coconut oil and fish oil have curbed my craving for food. I eat 3 meals a day with NO snacks, and never feel hungry. My fasting blood glucose is higher than I would ideally like, but I feel fine. Last time I had an Hb A1C test, I measured 6, which is normal. Google is your friend. Read everyting you can find on diabetes, diabetic supplements, low carb diet, any meds you are on, etc. Read, take notes, explore. Much of the information will contradict other information. Keep reading. Take notes. Use google to help sort out conflicts. No matter what you do for a living, your survival depends upon you learning far more about what to do for your diabetes than your doctor knows. If you get off the diabetic drugs, it will cost you more money. Eating low carb means no rice, beans, grains, or other cheap foods. So my food bill doubled. I spend as much on supplements each month as I spend on food. The only fruits I eat are avocados and a small amount of tomato. Get vitamin C from ascorbic acid, not orange juice. Start taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance. Ignore the RDA. The RDA will kill you. Back 6 years ago I needed over 30 grams of C each day. Now that I drink whey, twice a day, I get a lot of glutathione which helps the body to re-cycle C, so I now need only about 10 grams of C per day. Do seaches for " orthomolcular " to read about using vitamins in high doses. If you smoke, it is imperative that you STOP. If you drink, you need to give up alcohol. No coffee, no soda, no fruit juices. No fake sugar (spenda, nutrasweet, etc.) Best of good fortune.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I vastly disagree with the statement " Linda, once you get diabetes, your life is over. If you want to know if you can eat something, put it in your mouth. If it tastes good, spit it out. It's not for you. " There are foods which tasted good which are not carbs. My life certainly is not " over " . You father sounds to me like someone who did not have the ability or the strength to do his own research. If I had been diagnosed with diabetes before I had internet access, I would have been glum and depressed also. Very little in print available at libraries other than the BS put out by the ADA.

And gave a website link that I went to. I absolutely love this quote from that site: Cells cannot get glucose and also vit C inside when the walls are made by DuPont Following is some additional information supporting what Linda posted. ================ From Dr. Jerry Tennant (interspersed with info from other sources, in parenthesis) Food manufacturers years ago decided that their 'bottom lines' were being adversely affected because of food spoilage. The longer a product remained on the shelf, the greater the danger of spoilage. Of course, a product that has 'gone sour' can't be sold and has to be thrown away. It was discovered that if they added certain chemicals like nitrates to packaged food the spoilage factor went way down and the profit factor went way up. In his book, " Healing Is Voltage " , Dr. Tennant said that " The problem is that these chemicals preserve cells in your body as well as the food so they stop working. Cells that don't work are what we call disease. " He continues, " Next, food manufacturers found that if they cook fats at about 350 degrees for about five hours, it turns the fats into something that is similar to plastic. The fats that are processed this way are called " partially hydrogenated fats " or " Trans Fats " . my notes from his video substances we ingest or absorb into our body are either electron donors or electron stealers. every cell in our body is design to run at approximately 20 millivolts to 25 millivolts. voltage in our body is stored in the phospholipids of the cell membrane. We have a layer of electron conductors separated by an insulaltor. This makes the function like a capacitor -- an electron storage device. If he fats of which cells are made are good fats, it works. If the fats are bad fats, the cell membrane does not work properly and will not store voltage Industry does not like good fats, they have no shelf life. They take oils and super heat them till they are " plastic fats " . Canola oil is a plastic fat; all hydrogenated oils are plastic fats. If you consume these fats, then when you make a new cell to replace old cells, it gets made with these plastic fats ... and thus its is difficult for the cell membane to work right -- its like its wrapped in cellephane....and it is no longer a voltage storage device. (Vitamin C/ascorbic acid is a super electron donor -- see info here: www.tomlevymd.com/health_ebytes/issue_5.html " Another way of viewing this is that brisk electron flow and interchange equals health, impaired or poor electron flow and interchange equals disease, and cessation of flow and interchange equals death. Vitamin C, as the premier antioxidant in the body, is perhaps the most important ongoing electron donor to keep this electron flow at optimal levels. " ) (Two good oils: Coconut oil--for eating, cooking, and topical aplication and olive oil (but not for high heat cooking) are two good oils; the majority of oils in the grocery store are not. Read labels, canola is ubiquitious in our food, so are cottenseed oil and soy oil; they are the worst of the " grocery store " commercial food oils. Soy isoflavones are endocrine disrupters-- see www.westonaprice.org) (but flouride and chloride and all heavy metals and aluminum interfere with health -- also google how High Fructose Corn Syrup -- also ubiquitous in our foods has been linked to insulin resistance.) Our brain has neuro chemicals dopamine, GABA, serotonin, acetocholine. They control the pineal and pituitary which control the endocrine system, and they work with the proper functioning of cells, and how the cells communicate with each other. Without adequate minerals, we do not create these neurochemicals. (from the Weston A. Price site: Modern science has shown us that trace mineral deficiencies--particularly deficiencies in zinc, vanadium and chromium--inhibit insulin production and absorption. ... Soy blocks absorption of zinc and other minerals. ... HFCS reduces affinity of insulin for its cell site receptors and because of the way it is processed contains mercury.) Some minerals or mineral compounds interfere with health -- heavy metals, chloride, flouride, and aluminum are all highly detrimental. Voltage can be stored, it can also leak away The primary way is having metal in our teeth. Metal shorts out the tooths millivolts, or lets it leaks away. Some teeth with metal can be leaking 100 to 200 millivolts; anything over 30 is bad. ========== Hope this info helps. Visit Dr. Tennant's site -- it has some phenomenal information on how to restore health. Also there are many superb articles at the Weston A. Price site.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi Alobar, That was my father's attempt at humor. I spent over 8 years taking medication that basically beat my pancreas like a dead horse. Then, it stopped working. Doctor increased the dosage and told me to my face that I was cheating on my diet. Finally he told me that I had to go on insulin. I fired him that day. The problem is that the food in this country is so polluted. The Mom and Pop farms have been bought up by Food companies whose main concern is how much profit they can make. So, even if you do manage to eat foods that are good or you, unless you are eating organic, then there are poisons on the food that can cause major medical conditions. However, most people eat the pre-packaged foods that have had all the live enzymes killed and most if not all of the nutritional value destroyed. These foods have bad fats in them, hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn syrup. Years down the road, people get all these degenerative diseases and because of all the time that has gone by, they fail to make the connection between the illness they have and the poison they have eaten. Other illnesses are the result of things ingested by mother while the baby is in the womb. Think thalidomide. Klingon logic: That which does not kill you makes you stronger. Linda logic: That which does not kill you sets you up for the secondary condition that does. Thank you Alobar. I very much appreciate your kindness.
