1. If diabetes is a "silent
killer,"
what symptoms might indicate that I have it? |
|
The word "diabetes" comes
from Greek and means, "passing through." The
symptoms that your body may be dealing with diabetes are drinking
a lot, and urinating a lot. The body is smart. It is trying
to wash the disease out of the body. |
| 2. If I am obese, will I become a diabetic? |
|
Being obese does not make you diabetic,nor
does being a diabetic make you obese. Both
result from misusing the body's digestion system. Losing weight
can reduce your glucose reading as you reduce some of the foods that
cause diabetes. |
| 3. Is the body waiting to age to develop diabetes,
and I shouldn't worry now? |
|
The body is not waiting for
you to become a senior to get diabetes. Baby boomers had an 72%
increase in diabetes last year (seniors... 7.8%). You should worry
if you have not had your glucose reading checked. |
4. Can children under 12 become adult
diabetics? |
|
An 11 year old girl was on the cover of Time magazine.
She had adult diabetes. Read
the issue. |
| 5. Is diabetes caused by a gene and is everyone
in a fanily doomed to get it? |
|
When a small group of doctors was asked whether
blood glucose readings of 181 (well above a safe 120) was caused
by a gene, they agreed it was the only cause!
But when told the same patient's reading had dropped to 106, they
were asked if the gene had died. No, said the puzzled
doctors, genes don't die. . . Diabetes is not caused by a gene. |
| 6. Are baby-boomers part of the 6 million unidentified diabetics? |
|
Baby boomers should be warned that their generation
is fast becoming diabetic. They are a significant part of the 25,000
Americans per week becoming diabetic. |
| 7. Can medicine control, or eliminate diabetes? |
|
The medical community states that diabetes cannot
be cured, but only controlled to some level. This is the current
knowledge base that they are working with. The word is getting out
that Lahey Clinic patient Charlie Masison has cured himself, without
medicine. |
8. If not medicine, what fighters can combat
the diabetes enemy? |
|
The body can generate fighters to fight the diabetic
free radical fighters. These fighters are developed from vitamins,
minerals, and herbs. |
| 9. Are there particular foods that I should
not eat to avoid diabetes? |
|
You can start by avoiding the foods that begin
with the word "white." These include white rice, white
potato products, white bread, and white floor products. White potatoes
get on the "bad list" when their outer layer (skin),
is removed to make mashed potatoes, fries, and chips. White rice
was brown when grown, and white floor was wheat. Eat whole grain
foods, not processed foods. |
10. Are multivitamins good for me?
|
|
Multi-vitamins serve some useful purposes, but
they are not helping people cure diabetes. They do not contain enough
of the vitamin to really help. Visualize a 30 day supply in a bottle.
Now see 14 different vitamins in each of the 30 capsules. There is
not enough of a vitamin in each capsule to significantly help in
the fight against diabetes. |
11. If my glucose reading is less than the
safe 120, can I still be a diabetic?
|
|
About 10% of us are blood type hypo (not hyper)
glycemians. Their safe blood glucose reading is 70, not 120. If
their # goes below 70, they need to quickly eat a source of sugar,
or else they could go into a coma and die. Doctors usually test
us just to see if our # lies between 70 and 120, and if so, tell
us we are non-diabetic. A hyperglycemic with a blood glucose reading
of 146 has a body under attack. A hypoglycemic with a blood glucose
reading of 96 (also 26 points too high) also has a body under attack
and needs to be on a treatment plan. |
12. What role does exercise or stress play in diabetes? |
|
Food is not the only cause of diabetes.Stress
is usually a minor contributor, but consistent stress can become
a significant player. You can not create fighters with supplements,
but your weapon is your mind. Develop a positive mental attitude,
practice stress reduction techniques, meditation for mental relaxation,
and as the teen agers say, "cut yourself a little slack."
Exercise can play a positive role because cells must convert stored
glucose into energy. This allows more glucose to exit the bloodstream. |
13. Of the following body parts, which can diabetes
harm: eyes, kidneys, feet and legs, heart?
|
|
Diabetes is the #1 cause of blindness in the USA. It eventually
destroys your kidneys' ability to filter poisons from your blood.
It attacks the circulatory system and compromises the supply of
oxygen and nutrients to your extremities, especially your feet
which can become numb and vulnerable to serious disease. Diabetes
is the #4 cause of heart attacks. |
| 14. Can I communicate with anyone who has been
cured of diabetes? |
|
Charlie Masison determined the causes of adult
diabetes and then developed a cure. |
15. If I can defeat diabetes, can I avoid
alzheimer's?
|
|
Dr. Susan Del Amonte, of Brown University Medical
School, has been conducting research were she has identified another
type of diabetes other than adult or juvenile. She states that this
form of diabetes, we have been calling it alzheimer's. It may be
that if we can cure diabetes, we can avoid alzheimer's. |
16. If I can be cured of diabetes, should
I live to be 90?
|
|
Healing one's diabetes is only part of the process in having a
healthy body. It would be like renovating the kitchen, and neglecting
the hole in the roof. "Holes" include the unsuspected dangers
of hydrogenated products that produce transfats that can harm our
hearts. Farmed fish and the lack of omegas 3's in our diet are other
lurking dangers to longevity. These will be covered in later mini's. |
