Carrie posted this wonderfully thought-provoking comment about her diabetic son:
My 13 yr old son was diagnosed over a year ago with Type 1 [diabetes]. Before his diagnosis, I was very ‘green’ — bought organic foods, bought meat from free-range, grass-fed local farms, cleaned my house with products I made myself from vinegar and natural products. But we did follow the low-fat, low-calorie, high-fiber, healthy whole grain diet. We were told “eat whatever you want” — just dose for it [with insulin] and be healthy (yep: low-fat, high-fiber, etc.)
I didn’t think so: If he has a carb problem, then limit carbs! We immediately went low-carb, causing us to remove a lot of wheat products, but didn’t know about the damages of gluten then.
His last two A1Cs [hemoglobin A1c’s, a 60-90 day reflection of blood sugar fluctuations] have been 5.3% [normal range]. He was taken off his basal insulin and his bolus, continuing to less and less. Today, he is OFF insulin! YES, he is a Type 1 diabetic: They double-checked for the antibodies in case he was misdiagnosed–they are there. Even without insulin, his blood sugars are better than me or his dad, or even sister (we all check now). And all this while growing over 5 inches in one year, going through puberty and the stomach flu with no problems (scary for Type 1 diabetics).
His doctors are amazed. We all still did not know how he was this way, until someone shared with me Wheat Belly. We are all going completely gluten-free now and staying low-carb. Maybe my asthma will be gone and my daughter’s horrible itchy rash all over her arms will finally leave!
Absolutely wonderful book, thank you!
Wow. We know that consumption of modern wheat is associated with causing type 1 diabetes in children, average age of onset 4 years old. This is true in humans, as well as in two experimental models for type 1 diabetes in both rats and mice. This is not to say that all type 1 diabetes is caused by wheat consumption, but that an important subset is caused by wheat. But then how many other correctable causes of type 1 diabetes are you aware of?
Think about this: Type 1 diabetes in children, a diagnosis for life for the majority of those afflicted, a potentially fatal disease prior to the availability of insulin, is caused by consumption of wheat in some kids. That alone is concerning.
What if ALL kids with type 1 diabetes did what Carrie’s son did and rejected all things wheat? Would some enjoy the same apparent regeneration of pancreatic beta cells that allowed her son to become non-type 1 diabetic?
There is no answer, as the clinical trial to provide the answer has not been performed. But is this incredibly exciting or what? Even if only 1% are cured, why not try? That 1% can be spared this life long diagnosis.
No: Humans are NOT meant to consume “healthy whole grains.” Our intolerance can show up as type 1 diabetes in kids, type 2 diabetes in kids and adults, acid reflux, bowel urgency, autoimmune diseases, dementia, seizures, hypertension, water retention, paranoia, anxiety, eating disorders, or just feeling rotten. It can show up in a myriad of ways because they do not belong in the human body.
Hi,
It is amazing. I am in my late 60’s and was diagnosed with Diabetes 2 about 7 years ago. It changes your live and not something I wish for a child. My ex wife had Diabetes 1 since 11 years old and eventually it caused her death.
Al this caused an interest in Diabetes – causes and cures). I’ve also read an interesting article about the increase in diabetes cases with is alarming. Even animals are not to spare. We have currently a 6 month old German Shepherd puppy which has Diabetes 1 (need 2 injections per day).
Any case – wonderful that someone was able to reverse it!
A great Blog, Thank You…
Dear Dr. Davis
Thank you for your website and inspiring blog.
Could you say something about your experience with betacell regeneration? Is it realistic to see that happen in a type 1 child?
Thank you
I have had Type 1 diabetes since age 9 for 35 years and have been tested for Lyme Disease Antibodies and I have never had Lyme’s Disease.
The link between T1D and wheat was discovered 4 years ago:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090820124038.htm
One of my family members has type 1 diabetes and another has type 2 diabetes. Both are caused by the same disease ie Lyme Disease (Borrelia). Lyme Disease is a spirochete that can also reside within the cells of the body. The immune system recognises the pathogen within the cell and launches an inflammatory attack to destroy the cell in order to access and kill the pathogen within it. Doctors call this an ‘autoimmune disorder’. Lyme Disease makes the immune system hyper sensitive, causing all sorts of allergies and different kinds of autoimmune disorders. Lyme Disease coexists with co-infections and micro-parasites. The Lyme Disease Association of Australia offers information in relation to testing and treatment for the disease. IGeneX are the Gold Standard of testing for this disease. Since treatment the insulin requirements of both above mentioned individuals have reduced significantly. Treatment for chronic Lyme takes a minimum of 2.5 years. Lyme Disease can be passed on inutero. Ticks are not the only source of transmission.
My son was dx at age 5 (now he is 10) Don’t know how long after his vaccine but I’m pretty sure it’s close. I never thought about that until reading comments here so I will def have to look at my papers. When he was dx shortly after he was dx with celiac(a few days) we went gluten free but still to this day he has diabetes & needs insulin daily. I’m am curious about low carb & think I’ll give it a try but as for no carb I’m waay to scared to do that. If it were myself I’d give it a go but I can’t bring myself to risk it on my baby. God bless you all & thanks for all your knowledge!!
My daughter is 11, was diagnosed after she turned 6.
I have my own theories on how a healthy child, with no family history of diabetes; contracted an autoimmune disease.( vaccines). Anyway, how does one not eat food with carbs and not have constant low blood glucose? The smallest bit of exercise and her sugar drops to extremes even with extra carbs?I don’t get it…
Hello,my name is David & I have had Type 1diabetes now for 21yrs,have struggled alot with this & would like to change my diet to better myself,have had alot of seizures from low sugar & other various problems,would like to heal myself so this nolonger hangs over me,its hard to work & make ends meet dealing with sugar,I also have a son & want to be around for him later in life without health issues,if you could help direct me in ways of healing Please email me at drozell1975@gmail.com Ty so much & this has gave me hope,Im also trying to gain weight cause Im to skinny,let me know of ways to function at work,gaining weight & natural energy needed throughout my days,I wanna say Goodbye to Insulin shots & checking sugars
Hi David,
I read the article then scrolled down to see what folks have to say about it. I then saw your comment. First of all I am not discrediting the story about the kid with T1 and his “cure”. But, we must remember that T1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease which means it’s with us forever, no matter what you eat or how you live your life. Afterall, the author of the story stated that they went back to the Dr. to ensure the child was…are you ready? still diabetic and they STILL found the antibodies (which show his body was treating itself as a body inflicted with a beta cell killing virus). For me, the jury is still out on this case (if he was really cured). I WILL vouch for cutting down (or completely cutting out) carbs. For me, carbs skyrocket my BG’s and I have to bolus to correct. Most of my foods are lean meats, eggs, nuts and fruits. My BG’s are great 90% of the time except when I eat fruits or the occasion when I go out and splurge on a burger and beer. On those occasions I bolus appropriately and all is well. I also get plenty of exercise, and that is vital. There are many YouTube vids telling stories of a similar nature (T1 being cured), but what I have found is that people who claim to have been cured eat scantily and avoid carbs and fruits and other such food items that will raise BG. But, once one of them eat a burger, or a simple tortilla for that matter their BG will no doubt rise. I’ve had this stupid disease for 27 years. I have had my share of extreme lows and extreme highs. It sucks, but it’s with me forever no matter how well I eat. The best thing I can tell you (and I am no doctor, this is my opinion it’s what works for me) is limit carbs. I have gone many days in a row without ever bolusing while not consuming carbs. Of course, my body is receiving it’s share of basal from my pump. For without my basal flow my BG will slowly, dangerously rise. Eat properly and exercise. Also, you said you were trying to gain weight. TALK TO A DOCTOR about that. I can tell you to throw cake and pizza down your throat for three months in a row, but you’d be doing more harm than good I believe. Diabetes sucks, but if you chill out and control it, it’s really no thing. Peace, dude.
Wow, *love* this post; I wholeheartedly believe!
I am also a type 1, diagnosed in February, and through cutting out all grains (and sugar, processed carbs etc) then have managed to stabilise and maintain my blood sugars. I do believe it’s possible; I’ve read about many others who have done so too.

Its really sad to see mothers with children who have type I be so brainwashed, discouraged and handled terribly with fear to control type I. Thank goodness I see doctors and nurses as pure brainwashed by a modern conventional system. The second my daughter was diagnosed, the crazy docs prescribed high doses of insulin and a diet plan with more carbs than I myself eat for my 8 yr old daughter. They have NO CLUE about real nutrition and diet. They are so brainwashed. The truth about type 1 is that it is curable, you are just dealing with a situation of a very broken and damaged gut system that needs to be restored, and the real way to restore it is through avoiding the high glycemic foods, the grains/wheat/glutens especially, avoiding all processed foods, and eating the way a human being must eat. RAW FOOD, ORGANIC (NOT pasteurized fake milk, packaged snacks and foods that have tons of preservatives and ingredients that destroy your DNA and blood cells over time, and if you’re going to eat animal meats, get grass fed cow, free range chickens. All the food you get from typical supermarkets is so beyond contaminated through the production, packaging, and toying around with additive ingredient process that its basically going to slowly destroy the cells of whomever consumes it. People need to realize the reality that conventionally practicing doctors and surgeons are not real thinkers. They are not taught to think, but to follow and abide by a system. A system that is so corrupt beginning with the food industry, the pharmeceudical industry etc. We need to realize that these types of diseases can be cured when we go back to the basics of health and nutrition.
It takes a lot of guts, independent thinking and questioning, and going “against the grain” in the literal and metaphoric sense.
What this cardiologist is saying and revealing about modern wheat, glutens and grains is scarily true and ought to provoke all those who are dealing with a type 1 diabetic situation to wake-up and take charge through nutrition, not typical “insulin dependence-eat whatever I feel” mentality. We must avoid the false understanding of food/grains the way conventional nurses and doctors see it.
Wow. Powerfully and persuasively said!
I agree wholeheartedly. The healthcare system, the one I’ve worked in for over 20 years, is so out of touch with health that it would be laughable if the consequences weren’t so awful. Among the most ignorant in nutrition? Physicians and dietitians.
Please how can we get in touch? I want to know more….!
So, my 7 year old was diagnosed 6 months at 6. In the hospital I asked tons of questions, very firmly. I asked “in the history of the world, has type 1 diabetes ever been reversed?” She answered unequivocally “No!” I asked about diet, again, she said “no”. I said we have only bought pure cane, and pure maple into our house… she said “nope”. Then the endocrinologist showed up, to explain further. I asked the same questions, He said, “no”. I said I’ll put him on a protein only diet, he said “he needs carbs”. My son is being treated by a team of 3 doctors who work out of The Children’s Hospital of SW Florida. (I understand that nobody gets paid unless that little vile of Novolog is sold). Since being diagnosed, we are bombarded by friends and family and strangers who tell us to do this, try this, eat this, don’t eat this… They tell me stories of … “well, in Russia it helped so and so…” We are yet to see 1 count them 1 child or person on video saying I used to have Type 1 but now because My mother doesn’t give me bread, I’m ok…. Friends On Facebook show support, not for a cure but for a pump, because their child is doing great after 15 years. All those people are morons I suppose, because all they had to do was not eat bread… WE walk with JDRF last week, with actual children who have type 1 diabetes. Nobody was there saying “just say no to bread”. Or gluten…. Every society throughout civilization, was a wheat based society. They flourished by eating a wheat based diet. Asia, Middle East, Europe all wheat based societies that survived to bring us to this point in history, yet the book says don’t eat wheat? So perhaps you can understand my skepticism at the rhetoric posted here. I’m on this site searching, for something… We are all desperate to fix our children, but the flippancy here kind of blows my mind. Got another friend sending me to some foo foo Skin Care specialist who analyzes blood. Yeah, it’s friggin weird I know, she the “doctor”, has yet to produce an insulin key tone less 6 year old, but we will go anyway. Or maybe I’ll just cut out the bread. What was I thinking? Let me know when you got a kid on video who used to have BG of 400 -60 and now is 80 -150 and I’ll buy 100 books.
The ONLY hope a type 1 diabetic has of potentially bringing a halt to the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells is to IMMEDIATELY remove all sources of gliadin and gliadin-like proteins from the diet: wheat, rye, barley, and corn.
The experimental and human data are quite clear: Wheat causes the autoimmune process leading to type 1 diabetes in a subset of people. What is NOT clear is just how many people who have grain-induced type 1 can hope for remission upon immediate removal.
The angry type 1 diabetics or parents of type 1 diabetics who argue that this is wrong are referring to the chronic presence of type 1 diabetes, long after all pancreatic beta cells have been destroyed. I am talking about the acute situation upon diagnosis or, even better, before it happens. These are two completely different situations.
What is now passed off as wheat is not what it used to be, Do a search on GreenMedInfo using the search word of ‘wheat’ and see what you get.
Can you tell me how long it took from glutenfree to insulin free?
Gluten is not the issue. Gluten is a protein which, in itself, does not affect blood sugar/insulin levels. The person in the article removed wheat and other sources of carbohydrates (starches & sugars) from her son’s diet.
For those who are truly interested in TY1 research that is not just a new insulin or device to better control BG. Please look into the research at the Faustman Lab in Boston (http://faustmanlab.org/).
Just an update- my son is still insulin free! No finger pricking (except twice a week, just to be sure) and no insulin!
And that itchy, red rash my daughter has had for over 3 years is GONE! She was to so many different doctors trying to figure it out and no one had an answer. She eliminated gluten and it’s finally gone. She’ll have scars from it, but she feels so much better! And her constant runny nose- gone! She called me from college one day to say her roommates bought pizza and she gave in and ate some but got so sick she ended up vomiting it all out.
My husband is the thinnest he’s been since high school!
Hi,
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes back in December 2009 after being very ill, I was ketoacidosis, when I presented myself at the hospital. I have since been doing a lot of different protocols and one being to reduce grains, I use QUINOA as a substitute and it’s truly wonderful stuff! I have now started a new protocol and have been off the insulin since the 31st July 2013, my bloods are balanced at this time. I would be very interested in talking with the author of this article and indeed anyone else who is having success in managing this condition. It is very important for people seeking alternative approaches to support each other and hear each others stories. I can be contacted on diabetesmystory@hotmail.co.uk. Thank you, Life, Light and Love to all :)
My email contact email address is diabetesmystory@hotmail.com :)
Hello, everyone, I posted a comment a couple of months ago, and my son has since had 2 check-ups. His A-1C level is now a 6.0!!!! When he was first diagnosed as Type 1 in March, it was 9.5. Since going Gluten- free He has not had any insulin and his BS #’s are almost perfect. His dr.’s are amazed. There are many people blogging about the honeymoon phase, and I’m well aware of what could happen in 6 months, but Hey, my baby doesn’t have to get a shot everytime he eats, and our whole family is lighter, brighter, and full of energy. Why would you not want that for your family? Thanks, Dr. Davis,
Terrific, Momma!
Please keep us updated on his progress!
I was most interested by Dan and Sally Roman’s story of how they treated their two diabetic boys without insulin, but with a very well studied diet.
Over eighty years ago, in early 1930, I lived the same experience in Belgium (Europe).
When I was three or four years old, I fell very ill and the doctor diagnosed a type 1 diabetes. He prescribed insulin.
My mother was an intelligent, educated and independent woman and she knew a lot about the side effects and the dependence for life with insulin, and she refused the insulin against the doctor’s advice. She decided to treat me with a no sugar no starch diet.
She tried through trial and error. As a child I was always obliged to pee in my pot so my mother or Nanny could test my urine for sugar after every meal. The composition of every meal was dutifully written down in a special notebook, with the results of the test.
At first, all sugar or starch was prohibited. I was given meat, fish, milk, eggs, nuts, some vegetables, and a gluten-biscuit for diabetics, but no other biscuits or cakes, nor bread or pasta, no sugary fruits, no carrots, and nothing else containing sugar or starch. Very slowly, different fruits or vegetables were added, when the tests would allow it.
I was given cod-liver oil and raw calf’s liver to make me strong! Horrid!
I remember when I was five or six, I stole some sugar and hid it under my pillow so as to eat it in secret. My tests went bad and my theft was immediately discovered! And I was punished!
I went to elementary school at six, but took all my meals at home, except that I brought some milk at school for my ten o’clock snack, because bread was still forbidden.
Very progressively, I could eat a larger variety of food without problems, and at eleven years old, just before the war, I could eat everything. Completely cured!
I am now 84, and have enjoyed a good health with no more diabetic problems, and I had six healthy children in a row.
I am so infinitely grateful to my mother who, like Sally Roman, had the courage to go against the doctor’s advice and imagine a cure to my diabetes.
Doctors have always listened to my story with utmost skepticism. That is why I am so happy to read that the Romans are treating their children with a Health-e-Solution lifestyle.
Keep it on, it worked for me eighty years ago, and will surely work for them.
We have a similar story in our family, from the 1920s, when insulin either wasn’t available, or the family couldn’t afford it. The diagnosis was diabetes (were they distinguishing between T1D & T2D then?) The child was put on what we would now call a ketogenic diet. The condition vanished after some time, and did not reappear. It’s possible that it was a misdiagnosis, and that it really was acute pancreatitis.
The genetic predisposition for T1D is reportedly falling, yet the incidence of the ailment is rising. Something is afoot, and it’s gaining on us. Unlike blame-the-victim-T2D excuses from ADA & FDA, no one can make a case that between conception and toddler stage, the kids are choosing too much junk food and playing too many videogames. Something else is the trigger for T1D.
Are we looking at an effect of maternal or infant nutrition? If so, keep an eye on Sweden, which seems to be leading the world in abandoning high carb low fat suicide, and migrating to LCHF. If there’s a cause&effect relationship here, we should see some childhood statistical results in the next few years.
Yes, I believe you have something here. I am sure that pancreatitis is a big factor in many cases of diabetes. But what the heck is driving it?
There are so many possible factors. Vaccinations, antibiotics, modern grains, highly-processed high Omega 6 vegetable oils that clog the cells, nutrient-devoid sugars and other foods, chemical additives, highly-processed soy products, pasteurisation of dairy – killing beneficial bacteria and microbes, etc., etc. Or maybe it’s a combination of some or all of them.
Whatever it is, it is driven by something we are doing or not doing, eating or not eating in our diet and lifestyle. Personally, I believe one of the biggest factors is not just what we do or have, but what we don’t do or have. It is likely that the pancreas may be one of the first organs to suffer nutrient deficiency.
Whilst our ancestors would consume a wide range of foods to ensure a good supply of all the nutritional elements, our diet tends to be quite narrow. There is a lot of different food produced, but it is produced within quite a narrow range of ingredients. We rarely, if ever consume properly lactic-fermented foods like most of our ancestors did in some form. We don’t get raw dairy, or pastured animal meat and eggs. We don’t get good nutritious fruit and vegetables grown in highly nutritious soil. We don’t get pure natural water rich in minerals and trace elements. We don’t get clean, pure air, or sunlight that doesn’t have to try and shine through miles of pollution. We don’t commune with nature or feel the good green grass under our feet. Vitamin D can’t get into our skin through the layers of sun block we slap on at every glimpse of the sun.
Beri-beri is a deficiency of vitamin B1, Pellagra is a deficiency of vitamin B3, Scurvy is a deficiency of vitamin C, what is Diabetes a deficiency of? Interestingly, many of the symptoms of sub-clinical Beri-beri also overlap Diabetes.
What we think we know, and what we really know are at opposite ends of the spectrum…….
Good comment, i too believe this could be the case, that we are deficient in something. I go even further and believe that EVERY disease known to man is actually a deficiency of some vitamin or mineral. Does anyone know exactly how much of each vitamin and mineral we should have to be of optimal health for every year of our lives (as i guess this will change as we age)? I would love to find that website, believe me i’ve looked for it.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful story, Anne. Your mother was light years ahead, wasn’t she?
Hi Annie
Can you elaborate the diet you followed. I have an 9 year old niece who has been on insulin for the past 2 years now. I am sincerely looking for an alternative for a gradual cure.
I am really happy for u. Please help me and god bless.
Regards
> I have an 9 year old niece who has been on insulin for the past 2 years now.
If the diagnosis is Type 1, this is one of the bibles on that:
http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Bernsteins-Diabetes-Solution-Achieving/dp/0316182699
I have been reading everyone’s comments – and where it seems as though a couple subscribers seem to be having a pissing match here – the bigger picture is….. What has caused T1D or Celiac’s Disease in some of us and not in others? Why can my best friend eat anything she wants and not have high blood sugar, inflammatory disease, or any other ailments? I was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 9 – approx. 27 years ago. My mother died from T1D at the age of 28 – I was only 6. My father knew nothing of the disease and so he did what all the doctors told him to do – “only let her have artificially sweetened beverages and don’t let her eat anything with sugar in it.” So that is what I have done for the past 27 years. My endo basically said the same thing – except she said I can eat anything I want as long as I correct with insulin. She also put me on Levimir and Humalog mixed together in the same syringe – something that I just found out can be deadly. She thinks my best option is to get on disability – it’s easier than fighting to “stay in the daily game” with a full-time job.
I was diagnosed with T1D in 1986, a week after Easter – and your probably thinking it’s because I was sitting around eating chocolate for a week – but this was not the case. I was so sick – I couldn’t leave my bedroom for 4 days – so that’s when my stepmother finally decided to take me to the hospital. The moral of the story here – isn’t to have a pitty-party for the young girl who watched her mother die 3 years previously, as well as from the same disease she was just diagnosed with. No, the moral of the story is – Understanding what got me that ill in the first place? Ill enough to cause T1D. It certainly wasn’t the flu – though I did have flue-like symptoms. The fact of the matter is – 48 hours prior to becoming extremely sick – I was vaccinated, as well as given the TB test at my elementary school. Coincidence? I don’t know – but it would be nice if someone conducted a serious and sound-proof investigation of chronic diseases and their correlation to vaccinations. Now, “little Sally” standing to my right, and “little “Billy” standing to my left did not come down with a chronic disease and they were also vaccinated and tested that day – so Researchers and Scientists are going to rule this factor out. Moreover, this tells us that potential T1D’s most-likely have a specific gene that is more susceptible to mutilation through vaccination – but why would we investigate that? I mean – It only costs $187 US dollars for a one month supply of one type of insulin – and it costs the manufactures under $15 to make it. Hmmmm – maybe we should do the math. More importantly, maybe we should realize that the only true cure we will ever see for T1D’s is going to be a homeopathic one. Our government would lose Billions if T1D where to be cured, and this is because of it’s correlation (more like stigma) to Type 2 Diabetes, which is bringing in far more profit than that of T1D.
So you can see how it is hard for many T1D’s and their family members to have hope – once, they too, undergo the “wild goose chase” many hopefuls have been led on for the past 27+ years. This is not the first website I have come across in the past 10 years that has people suggesting gluten and dairy to be an underlying culprit in many diseases, including T1D. I have just shrugged it off as another BS “cure” that would never work; mainly because I introduced Dr. Berstein’s work to my endo, and she basically accused it of being “hogwash.” Well, now that I have given her the boot…you may also be pleased to know that I have added a couple different books to my Amazon cart regarding how to eliminate wheat and dairy successfully from my diet. Maybe there will be a light at the end of the tunnel after all. And one more thing for some of you to look at…You may have noticed the most recent news claiming a cure for T1D…
http://www.news-medical.net/news/20130628/Curing-type-1-diabetes-an-interview-with-Dr-Habib-Zaghouani-MU-School-of-Medicine.aspx
If you read this article, Dr. Habib Zaghouani basically claims that they have found a drug that will stop the immune system from attacking the beta cells that produce insulin -but there is an underlying problem with this newest cure… ” What the findings are demonstrating is that stopping the immune system from attacking the beta cells is not enough to cure type 1 diabetes. The damage was so severe that it wasn’t only an attack on the beta cells; there was collateral damage to the tiny blood vessels that connect the islet to the rest of the pancreas and the blood. That damage has caused malfunction of these vessels. So, the beta cells cannot receive nutrients in the blood and cannot send insulin in the blood and therefore, they can neither divide nor send their insulin in those blood vessels.”
My answer to that problem is then this…”PAW PAW” A natural substance (produced from a tree) that rebuilds the blood vessels around damaged, dying, or mutated cells. Many cancer patients have had much success with this. (*Here is where I note that I’m probably still alive because of the countless herbal substances that I take.)
I wish I had the means to tell this Dr. this – but it’s not like I can just call him up and say” Hey…have you tried paw paw? Maybe someone reading this post can. Not that it really matters all that much – there would just be some other excuse given of why it wouldn’t work – or worse, hearing: “We have made great advancements in finding a cure, but it will be another 10 years before we can really see any results.” Not that we didn’t hear that 10 years ago, and 10 years before that, and 10 years before that…You get the point.
Well, I hope my cynicism has not left anyone bewildered. But, I will leave you with a smidgen of hope before I go….Maybe, just maybe, we will see some of these scientific research findings bring us the cure, that is, once our deficit has been depleted. Until then, my advise is to try any safe, natural, homeopathic regimen you can – because now-a-days, we can not count on Doctor’s or Scientist’s to find any cure for anything. Especially if their programs are backed by the government or funded by Big Pharma.
I love your cynicism. Brilliant. Like me, you are another ‘thinker outside the box’, and there sure aren’t enough of us out there.
I too have wondered how much damage has been done to me by vaccinations over the years. I lost all my energy around the age of 14, coincidentally (or not) which was also around the time I was given the BCG. But up to then I had also had the other ‘usual suspects’ during my childhood.
I think it was when I saw the case of Lynn Gilderdale, who developed severe CFS within a few days of being given the BCG that rang my bells. I have never been that debilitated, but certainly have spent most of my life just dragging myself around with little energy and motivation. I didn’t get Diabetes back then but I was almost certainly an insulin resistant plump teenager. My Diabetes didn’t rear its head until I was 39, but I can see that I was teetering on the edge of it for some time before that.
Whilst I was diagnosed as type 2, I am almost certainly now type 1. I take no medication other than insulin, but cannot do without it.
After going gluten and dairy-free and low-carb 5 years ago, I hoped that the diabetes would improve, but sadly, that hasn’t happened. It is likely there is just way too much damage. Losing weight might help, but that won’t shift either. Still, I keep persevering because I am still better following this regime than losing my feet or my sight or my life on a higher carb one.
PS. Its interesting, if you do a search for ‘chronic fatigue after vaccination’ or ‘Diabetes after vaccination’ what comes up……
Not heard of paw paw before, so i will look for that, thanks, but i too have had type 1 from the age of 20, my BS levels have never been good at all, usually around the 9 (165) mark over a 3 month period. We are still on the old numbers here in the UK. I heard that serrapeptase can also clear out those tiny vessels in the pancreas. Some believe that this is what type 1 is, the tiny vessels that let out the insulin becoming blocked, probaby from the junk we eat, and the toxins from the air and water. I have tried it but it didn’t work for me. About a year ago now Dr Wong had 2 testimonials on his website stating that 2 of his patients had been cured by taking his medicine called zymessence, although those 2 testimonials have now been removed. Zymessence is essentially serrapeptase, There is also a new book out by Gabriel Cousins called ‘There is a cure for Diabetes’ that i have but have not got around to reading as yet, might be worth checking it out, there is an interview with Nick Polizzi on YouTube about this book also. Initially i found out about my diabetes whilst in hospital for an operation, the docs said that it could have been brought about from fear of the operation? I have also looked into Bruce Liptons work and also past life regressions, apparently some of these hypnotists can take you back to just before you were initially diagnosed and change how you were thinking at that time, again i’ve not tried this but NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is worth checking out too. The more i read the more it sounds like milk and vaccinations are always in the mix somehow, maybe there is no 1 way of getting it. I think i am still here because i am still on the Pork insulins, i was put on synthetics in 1989 but swiched back within a month as i felt terrible and my hair started to fall out. I am now nearly 53.
I think we should first diagnose ourselves whether we are suffering from this disease or not.Check out these symptoms:Very thirsty,urinating very often,feeling very hungry or tired,loosing weight without trying,having slowly healing sores,dry itching skin,numbness or tingling sensation in limbs and having blurry eyesight and a test report confirming that you are diabetic.Persons having any or all the above symptoms may be suffering from diabetes.It is of two types Type I – Infantile and Type 2 – non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus which sets in adults generally over 35 years of age.The normal levels are 80(fasting) and 120(after food intake).T Diabetes is the condition when a person does not produce enough of insulin (produced by Pancrea) or is unable to use it effectively.In today’s world whatever we eat or drink is polluted in one way or the other.Chiefly three life giving things Air,Water and Food are all polluted.Organic agriculture is at its infant level and we all know the maximum use of pesticides and herbicides.Air is polluted all around us and water too is contaminated,so all these factors and present life style contribute greatly to this disease.And this way Toxin level increases in our body causing different ailments and organ failure.Pancreas is the gland which produces insulin.Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes.It is a metabolic disorder due to deficiency of insulin,a hormone produced by the pancreas.Either sufficient insulin is not produced or the body does not use it properly,resulting in high blood sugar levels.When this condition persists,diabetes sets in.Obesity,lack of exercise and improper diet contribute greatly to the development of diabetes.
Proper diet and exercise play a vital role in the management of diabetes.Eating whole grains is beneficial.Avoid refined wheat flour and polishes rice.Brown rice or boiled rice is beneficial while polished rice is more harmful than eating sugar.Increase the intake of vegetables and fruits.Avoid fatty food and all the so called junk food.Exercise is equal to a dose of insulin.
It is important to note that insulin resistance develops first which later develops into diabetes.Insulin resistance can be controlled and corrected by proper diet,exercise and correct supplements.You can contact on my email Tauras.deep@hotmail.com for a further suggestions on a natural way(herbal treatment) and correct use of supplements by which you can overpower this problem in a healthy way.
