The prime factor of diabetes activation is the introduction through the ingestion (or injection) of foreign pancreal beta cells, animal insulins or their molecular copies or equivalents. All animal tissues carry traces of pancreal sheddings and animal insulin productions of the butchered animal. Animal derived milk (that is, all dairy products) carry the beta cell equivalents or molecular structures within the casein proteins of those animal dairy and flesh products. Those beta cell like tissues are the triggers for your own immune systems production of antibodies which can turn against critical areas of your own pancreas and your insulin production integrity - if genetic and environmental factors already predispose you for that damage.
The solution - which is within your control - is to never bring those alien insulin and beta-cell-like tissues into your body. That includes all animal materials or products, especially dairy milk, or its most dangerous form, in (the 10 to 70 pounds of concentrate per 1 finished pound of) cheese!
The removal or elimination of dairy, in particular cheese, from the diet is the single most beneficial life change a diabetic, or person concerned with its development, can make!
Fish, sea animals or alea growths, insects and insect products, like honey, also carry pancreal beta cell shadings and the creatures own insulin or insulin organelle (algea / seaweeds) productions, so are also potentially contributory to diabetes antibody triggering.
So if you are struggling with "Diabetes" or hyper/hypo glycinia like symptoms, or have its genetic or environmental predispositions (cases in your family history or community) and you are concerned about it showing up in you, maintain your current prescribed therapy and professional counsel, but consider the above information and avoid the dietary triggering of the Diabetic antibodies factors by not ingesting any of the above noted dairy and animal derived (all insulin or pancreal beta cell containing) items, and with a little patience look for your progressive improvements.
No plant sourced
foods contain Diabetes producing antigens, nor do plants produce any other
associated immune triggers.
Plant or fruit sugars
are not the cause of diabetes, but simply are not correctly processed
because of it! So they must be carefully regulated as you live within the
disorder and as you work to reverse, heal or avoid it.
And contrary to pubic opinions, wives tales, generations of flawed belief, advertising and propaganda, all nutrients for human health and vigor are provided completely, easily and abundantly from a simple variety of garden foods - which do bolster healthy immune function, and do not add pathogen loading and other tissue damages or autoimmune triggering problems!
| Insulin Fails Test As Preventive
By JEFF DONN .c The Associated Press 5/29/02 BOSTON (AP) - To doctors' disappointment, a landmark study has found that preventive injections of insulin do not ward off a common form of diabetes. The idea of preventing diabetes with insulin has been considered for decades. More recently, animal research and small studies with people suggested it would work for type 1 diabetes. Some doctors were already giving insulin to patients in the hope of preventing it. ``The history of medicine is littered with wrong conclusions drawn from pilot studies,'' said Dr. Jay Skyler, a hormone specialist at the University of Miami who led the study, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health. The preliminary findings were reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. Up to 1 million Americans have the disease, formerly known as juvenile diabetes, and face a lifetime of taking insulin. The body's defenses attack the pancreas' ability to make insulin, a substance that processes sugar. People at high risk for type 1 diabetes can be identified from antibodies and other testing. In theory, preventive insulin could either rest the body's insulin cells and thus make them stronger, or retool the immune system to stop its assault on the pancreas. More common type 2 diabetes - in which the body cannot process insulin correctly - would be beyond the reach of preventive insulin. Of 84,228 screened for the study, 339 were identified with a five-year risk of more than 50 percent of developing diabetes. They were randomly assigned to undergo insulin injections or just monitoring. Both groups developed the disease at an annual rate of about 15 percent. The research team is still working on preventing type 1 diabetes with an insulin pill, which is thought to work by a different mechanism. Those findings could come next year. Dr. Richard Jackson, a study supervisor at Boston's Joslin Diabetes Center, said he holds ``reasonable hope'' for success with the pill. ``If we look at the history of clinical research, it's rare that the first arrow hits the target,'' he said. A separate study in the journal did offer some hope for people with the type 1 disease. The researchers found that a drug designed from an immune-system antibody known as OKT3 can arrest the disease in its early stages for at least a year. However, the drug is not expected to delay the disease indefinitely. Twelve patients were treated in this preliminary test supervised at Columbia University. Nine kept their ability to make insulin. 05/29/02 17:00 EDT Copyright 2002 The Associated Press.

CHICAGO (AP) - Introducing cereal too early or too late in infancy might increase the odds of diabetes in children already at risk for the disease, a study suggests. Another study found a similar risk for introducing gluten-containing foods too soon. Both studies suggest that starting solid food at the wrong time could overwhelm at-risk infants' immature immune systems and trigger changes that might lead to diabetes. The preliminary findings are far from proof, and the researchers themselves said the results should not prompt any changes in babies' feeding habits. Still, the research is provocative and could reveal some of the environmental triggers that might contribute to some cases of diabetes. The studies - one from the University of Colorado, the other from Germany - are published in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association. Both involved youngsters already at risk for juvenile diabetes because of genes or family members already afflicted. Both studies also compared the timing of the introduction of solid food in infancy with the development of antibodies that sometimes lead to juvenile diabetes. Doctors frequently recommend starting solid food - usually cereal - between the ages of 4 months and 6 months. University of Colorado researcher Jill Norris and colleagues found a fourfold increased risk of developing pre-diabetes antibodies in babies started on any type of cereal before the recommended period, and a fivefold higher risk for those fed afterward. Norris said it might be that introducing solid food too soon induces the production of antibodies that destroy insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Starting solid food after 7 months might also might overload infants' still-developing immune systems, Norris said. Her study involved 1,183 children followed for an average of about four years. Only 34 children showed persistent evidence of the pertinent antibodies, and only 16 actually developed diabetes. The average age for developing juvenile diabetes is around 11, and more of the children studied might develop it when they get older, Norris said. The other study, from the Diabetes Research Institute in Munich, involved 1,610 children followed for an average of about six years. It found an increased risk in introducing solids earlier than 4 months of age - but only with foods containing gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains. New Orleans pediatrician Dr. Michael Wasserman of the Ochsner Clinic Foundation said the theory that the introduction of certain foods induces diabetes ``doesn't make intuitive sense and yet it may be scientifically correct based on information we don't yet know.''

CDC Issues Diabetes Warning
for Children
By JANET McCONNAUGHEY.c The Associated Press 6/14/03 NEW ORLEANS (AP) - One in three U.S. children born in 2000 will become diabetic unless many more people start eating less and exercising more, a scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns. The odds are worse for black and Hispanic children: nearly half of them are likely to develop the disease, said Dr. K.M. Venkat Narayan, a diabetes epidemiologist at the CDC. ``I think the fact that the diabetes epidemic has been raging has been well known to us for several years. But looking at the risk in these terms was very shocking to us,'' Narayan said. The projected lifetime risk is about triple the American Diabetes Association's current estimate. The implications are frightening. Diabetes leads to a host of problems, including blindness, kidney failure, amputation and heart disease, and diabetics are getting younger and younger. Including undiagnosed cases, authorities believe about 17 million Americans, nearly 6 percent of the U.S. population, have diabetes today. If the CDC predictions are accurate, some 45 million to 50 million U.S. residents could have diabetes by 2050, said Dr. Kevin McKinney, director of the adult clinical endocrinological unit at the University of Texas Medical Center in Galveston. ``There is no way that the medical community could keep up with that,'' he said. McKinney, who was not part of the study, said Narayan's procedures are valid and the estimates, being presented Saturday to the American Diabetes Association, are probably all too likely. Diabetes, a disease caused largely by obesity and lack of exercise, has been an increasing worry for decades. From the mid-1960s to the mid-'90s, the number of cases tripled. The number of diagnosed cases rose by nearly half in just the past 10 years, hitting 11 million in 2000, and is expected to rise an additional 165 percent by 2050, to 29 million, an earlier CDC study by Narayan and others found. ``These estimates I am giving you now are probably quite conservative,'' Narayan said in an interview before the diabetes association's annual scientific meeting here. Narayan said it would be difficult to say whether undiagnosed cases would rise at the same rate. If they did, that could push the 2050 figure to 40 million or more. Doctors had known for some time that Type 2 diabetes - what used to be called adult-onset diabetes because it typically showed up in middle-aged people - is on the rise, and that patients are getting younger. Nobody else had crunched the numbers to look at current odds of getting the disease, Narayan said. Overall, he said, 39 percent of the girls who now are healthy 2 1/2- to 3-year-olds and 33 percent of the boys are likely to develop diabetes, he said. For Hispanic children, the odds are closer to one in two: 53 percent of the girls and 45 percent of the boys. The numbers are about 49 percent and 40 percent for black girls and boys, and 31 percent and 27 percent for white girls and boys. To reach his estimates, Narayan used data from the annual National Health Interview Survey of about 360,000 people from 1984-2000, from the U.S. Census Bureau and from a previous study of diabetes as a cause of death. Globally, the World Health Organization has estimated that by 2025, the number of people with diabetes worldwide will more than double, from 140 million to 300 million. ``They estimated that by 2025, there would be close to 60 million people with diabetes in India alone. That's about the size of Great Britain or France,'' Narayan said. It doesn't have to happen. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by losing weight, exercising and following a sensible diet. A study two years ago found that walking 30 minutes a day most days of the week and losing a little weight helped the people most likely to get it cut their risk 58 percent. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services used that information last fall in its ``Small Steps, Big Rewards'' campaign against diabetes. On the Net: CDC: http://www.cdc.gov
