Type 1 diabetic for 20+ years, wanting to come off

[highcastle88]

Greetings, and thanks for reading my post

Have had type 1/A diabetes for two decades now, insulin injection dependent, and am looking to rid myself of the injections, if possible, safely and securely, and in the process lose some of the excess weight formed by the insulin regime. Have in recent weeks and months almost halved my insulin dose to no ill effect, and have converted several pounds of weight to muscle. This has followed on from changes in my diet, where I have been trying to effect a 70% organic whole food, fresh veg and fruit diet, with organic protein sources. Feeling much better that I was last year, wherein I drank like a fish (alcohol) and smoked my lungs out for a lot of the time, out of desperation and bone-headedness.

I am currently not on any supplements other than a multi-vitamin and some things to aid my (fairly shot) digestive system.

Any word of caution or advice that you could give would be very appreciated, in my ongoing and tentative efforts to detox myself of insulin dependence.

[krakhead]

If you are a type 1 diabetic means your pancreas isn't working properly (more likely not at all), although change of diet can help you to reduce your insulin AFAIK you cannot stop insulin injections altogether - and personally I would not recommend going any further with your reductions without proper medical input - the physical health impact of poorly controlled diabetes is too great to risk fumbling around in the dark.

Good luck though and keep us informed of your progress :)

[highcastle88]

Thank you for your input. You felt the need to warn me about going against the official pharmaceutical/medical establishment stance on diabetes, in case I was to do anything stupid. However, this doesn't really help me, as, if we take the view of many in "alternative", holistic, holocentric, health practices, for example Dr. Mark Hyman of ultrawellness, the insulin is in fact slowly killing me, not my pancreas, which may or may not be dead, which may or may still be dormant.

But thank you for the caution. I do not want to stumble around in the dark, that is why I have come to this forum.

[the ultimate truth]

I have researched health around 4 years now and there are actually few diseases around that cant be cured and prevented through changing to a specific diet and lifestyle, it's about doing what is best for you body getting it form a sate of degeneration to a sate of regeneration, health and vitality.

Type 2 diabetes is easy to cure although diabetes type 1 is not necessarily so, though it does have potential to be cured or greatly improved in overall symptoms and wellness.


I recommended for searching more information from the people named below:

Brian clement of the Hippocrates health institute

Which has healed over a quarter of a million people of disease through a living raw food diet thousands of which were told they would die in months and weeks and and were suffering from what the Pharmacy backed medical profe$$ion call an 'incurable disease' recover to health.

I read in another thread that if you drink 1-2 cups of potato juice every morning / night it should help your diabetes.

I imagine you could use a food processor to juice the potatoes otherwise according to the japanese scientist that's been curing cancer with it, you'd want to grate the potatoes to a pulp then squeeze them in a towel to extract the juice.

[eternal wheel]

my partner has been type 1 for over 20 years also.
her pancreas produces nothing.
the insulin you inject isn't killing you, it's keeping you alive.


if you stop injecting insulin, you will die.


good luck in your search for an alternative. you'll need it.

[highcastle88]

Thank you for the wonderful info ultimate truth. eternal wheel, you sound like you could use some St. John's Wort, as you sound rather depressed, but thanks for the encouragement anyway.

[lady_oblivion]

I have to agree with eternal, a friend of mine didnt take his insulin ended up blind and his kidneys failed and is now on dialyses. The insulin is keeping you functioning any alternative practinioner worth there salt will tell you to keep on the doctors percriptions(espeically if it is a chronic condition) but there may be things which can help symptoms and make things easier.

I'm asking because I don't know, and as a matter of fact, I never said anything about outright just stopping insulin intake. I am speaking about gradually lowering my intake through improved diet and exercise, detoxing my body, and just generally supplying my body with the right supplements, nutrients, and so on, that it needs, if it is able, to heal from the original trauma (which I won't go into now) which triggered the diabetes, thus allowing me, in time, to stop my medication.

Have you watched the film Simply Raw? a type 1 diabetic stopped taking insulin, as did half a dozen type 2.

http://www.rawfor30days.com/index4.html

Watch it and tell me to my face that he was not a type 1 diabetic and that he did not in fact come off insulin.

Thank you for the polite warnings and cautions, but I don;t want your opinions as they are of no use to me, I want advice based on experience. Of course, what you told me, lady_oblivion, was based on your own experience. But I'm talking about solution think, not problem think. Years and years ago, I did just stop taking my medication. I had a sort of breakdown. Guess what? I nearly died.

I'm not stupid. Just cautiously optimistic.

[highcastle88]

By the way, Simply Raw is a brilliant film and if you want to see it without paying for it, it can be found for download on the internet...

Though I would of course encourage anyone interested to support the film by purchasing a copy.

Which member of the group was that? I saw the film and can only remember the insulin dependant diabetic managing to reduce his insulin, not stop. Which seems an obvious side effect of eating more healthily and stopping eating processed foods. Coping with diabetes isn't rocket science, but most carry on eating as if their body was coping as normal and just rely on medication to control their symptoms.

My main concern about the film is that they talk more about the people involved 'curing' their type 2 diabetes when, in fact, all they did was start eating healthily (maybe I'm being pedantic). Certainly in the UK, I don't know of one diabetic specialist who hasn't told a type 2 diabetic that they could be better controlled and reduce, even stop, their medication with better diet/exercise.

I forget his name right now, but the single fellow from New York. It's all in the film.

As to using the word 'cure', well, if you're told by all your doctors that you will always be on a certain medication due to a certain diagnosis you have been given, and then you do something completely radically against that program thinking, and then you are in effect happier, healthier, and not on your medication, and not suffering from any side effects, and you've lost 30 pounds in a few weeks, well, I'd call that a cure, really. Especially, if the original disease you were diagnosed with was bought about through diet and environmental contamination and/or other toxification and trauma, and you follow the above and you reap the benefits, even if it means avoiding Pizza Hut and ice cream for a time, well, yeah, I'd call that a cure.

"Certainly in the UK, I don't know of one diabetic specialist who hasn't told a type 2 diabetic that they could be better controlled and reduce, even stop, their medication with better diet/exercise."

Well give them a medal. Gosh darn, who da thunk it?!
But would any of them tell you you could stop your medication, under supervision and with the right tools and understanding? Doubtful.

I read the Diabetes UK magazine. A couple of issues back, it's cover story was about one of the actors in the British television social engineering programme Eastenders, who was obese, and her "dietry control" and her insulin intake.

ENOUGH!!

[highcastle88]

By the way, one of the doctors of one of the diabetics in the film Simply Raw, completely approved the course, though he was oblivious to such approaches. He wasn't malicious, just simply apathetic and ignorant and trained in insulin and nothing else, seemingly.

[highcastle88]

And I'd just like to say, I understand how painful it can be to come to terms with a major illness like diabetes - whether you suffer from it personally, or someone close to you.

If anyone here wants to take offence from my determination and scepticism, that is their right. It is also my right to question the corporate pharmaceutical industry and my dependence on it.

And again, I understand how potentially dangerous mucking about with medications can be, so, thanks, but I don't need the obvious pointed out to me.

[dalem]

Hello.
I read your post with interest and I really believe you should go with your heart on this. You must do what you think is right.
I had a collapsed left lung about a year ago, it was about the size of a tennis ball all crumpled up in the bottom of my rib cage.
The doctors told me I must have immediate surgery or face possible serious results. I didn't have the surgery and went home. I healed my own body through shear determination and willpower to get better. My lung expanded again on it's own, it took about 4 weeks to come back fully but I did it without surgery.

Anyway why I was writing to you, I read earlier that H2O2 ( Hydrogen Peroxide ) therapy can help with diabetes. I'm not sure if it would help your type but maybe worth investigating.

Regards

]"How to Prevent and Cure ALL Cases of Type 2 Diabetes
What causes type 2 diabetes? You probably think it is too much glucose or too little insulin. Actually, type 2 diabetes is caused by trans-fatty acids and other bad fats sticking onto your cell membranes and blocking the insulin ports and glucose ports in the cell.

There has been a cure for type II diabetes since at least the year 2000. Of course, you don't know about it. If you have had type 2 diabetes for many years, and face severe side-effects of the disease, see the type I article also (it is next). Here is the cure for type 2 diabetes.

WARNING
If you are already on insulin, absolutely do not stop taking insulin, and do not stop measuring your glucose levels, without your doctor's permission.


What Causes Type II Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes can be cured!! But before understanding any cure for type 2 diabetes, it is first necessary to understand the cause of type 2 diabetes.

First of all, being overweight does NOT cause type 2 diabetes!!! Scientists generate a lot of data, but frequently have no clue how to interpret the data.

The reason there is a high statistical correlation between being overweight and having type 2 diabetes is that the same thing that causes type 2 diabetes also causes some people to be overweight. For example, bad fats (such as in margarine) are what cause type 2 diabetes, and bad fats can also cause a person to be overweight.

Thus the statistical correlation is not a "causal" relationship, but rater a "common cause" relationship. It is extremely rare when a scientist discusses "common cause" statistical correlations because they get paid to sell drugs. Let me repeat: being overweight does NOT cause type 2 diabetes.

Here is more information about what really causes type 2 diabetes:


•"Another lipid in a cell wall is cholesterol. And you thought it was a terrible thing. The cholesterol in each one of your cells forms a "hydrophobic" bond within the cell wall. Hydrophobic means "fear of water." It’s a cute way to describe this function of our cells, but in our lives it simply describes the reason we don’t melt in a rainstorm or fall apart when we take a shower or bath. Our cells resist water. Without this resistance, we would be water-soluble and we'd all dissolve in a rainstorm.
Our diets in this country (and in Budwig’s country at the time) lack these highly unsaturated fatty acids and contain an excess of man-made oils known as trans fats (or partially hydrogenated oils). These oils are very much like cholesterol and our bodies cannot tell the difference. These oils get into our cell walls and destroy the electrical charge. Without the charge, our cells start to suffocate. Without the oxygen, the only way the cell can replicate is anaerobically. (They also are very tough oils and have a 20-year shelf life. They impede the process of cellular exchange, or letting nutrition in and letting wastes out. Trans fats are also responsible for Type II diabetes, since insulin is a very large molecule it has a difficult time passing through a cell wall created with man-made fats and not cholesterol.)"
http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/budwig.htm

In other words, trans-fatty acids attach themselves to the cell walls, and because they are a different type and shape of molecule, make the cell walls "rigid," and the large glucose molecules cannot penetrate the cell walls and get into the cells.

Here is a more detailed way to explain it (taken from an email from a medical doctor):


•"Insulin binds with a cell wall receptor that causes a transport molecule to come to the wall and escort the glucose/ascorbate to where it is needed. The trouble is that it can't easily come through a port made of the wrong fatty acids. The cell may still have some good ports so increasing insulin will still help. Over time as the body continues to store excess glucose as triglyceride in fat cells and doesn't burn fat the person becomes obese--just look around you, it's everywhere.
Most diets are low-fat and the fats they do contain are bad fats and the problem just gets worse."

Type II or Type 2 diabetes is one of the rare diseases that is not caused by a microbe or impurities in vaccinations. It is caused by our diet of "bad fats" and the lack of "good fats" in our diet.

These same bad fats cause heart disease and many cases of people being overweight.

In other words, the same bad fats cause three major health problems:
1) Type 2 diabetes,
2) heart disease,
3) many cases of being overweight.

There are many other things these molecules cause as well.

The medical community, having no interest in what causes disease, claims that type 2 diabetes causes heart disease. This is partly true, but most of their statistical correlation is caused by the fact that both of them are caused by the same thing - the ratio of bad fats to good fats.

If a person were to simply avoid the trans-fatty acids and many other bad fats, eventually their type 2 diabetes would go away because as the bad cells (i.e. the ones with rigid fats on them) died, they would be replaced by new cells made of good fats (assuming there were good fats in your diet). However, this process would take several years since many cells live for multiple years.

However, there is a way to speed up the process. By avoiding the bad fats, and flooding your body with the right type of good fats, especially water-soluable omega 3, type 2 diabetes is very easy to cure. It generally takes 7-12 months (much less time if it is newly diagnosed).

It is absolutely critical to avoid ALL trans-fatty acids, ALL hydrogenated oils, ALL CANOLA OIL, ALL margarine and ALL other "bad fats" like the plague, because they ARE A PLAUGUE on humanity!!!


New Audio Files on Type 2 Diabetes
Since writing this article several years ago, a set of new audio files came out in late-2009 which was originally designed for cancer patients, but which includes information CRITICAL for type 2 diabetes patients!! These audio files explain in detail how to start being able to lower your insulin within a few weeks and how to get completely off of insulin (with your doctor's permission) in about 3 months! Two case studies are examined with details on how each patient cured their advanced type 2 diabetes.

These audio tapes, by cancer researcher Mike Vrentas, are worth their weight in gold for type 2 diabetes patients. They are available for download if you have broadband or are available as a CD set. They are five and a half hours of critical information.

Mike's treatment for type 2 diabetes follows the same theory as this article, but his treatment uses far better supplements and works far faster than the cure on this web page!!

I would STRONGLY recommend that all type 2 diabetes patients use Mike's treatment for type 2 diabetes, but continue to study this website as well for supplemental information!! I do talk about a few subjects which Mike does not talk about in his tapes.

On Mike's website is a free 9 minute discussion about the audio files, but remember the CDs include all the information necessary to cure type 2 diabetes (i.e. get off of insulin):

The Cure for Type II Diabetes
By mid-2005, I had known for several months that there was a cure for Type II diabetes, and I knew a little bit about the cure, but I did not know all of the details. In mid-2005 I received an email from a medical doctor with enough details that I could put the cure online. Prior to sending the email to me he had his facts checked with a PhD who was familiar with the cure.

Here is the cure, taken from an email from the same medical doctor mentioned above:


•"I know you have the theory on this from some of the e-mails I sent you, but I finally got around to sending the cure to [a PhD who works at a medical clinic] who runs the lab at [medical clinic], and heads the dept. at [a university]. He confirmed it is true and had been around for some time now. The natural therapy will take several months to kick in after which you can flush the medications a person takes down the toilet and pronounce them cured so long as they continue eating right.
The cure is to eliminate partially hydrogenated oils and trans-fats [i.e. trans-fatty acids, such as is in margarine] from the diet. Replace these with natural oils such as flaxseed, olive oil, real butter, lard, any organic animal or plant fats, coconut oil, etc. Try to make omega 3/omega 6 ratio > 1 [i.e. consume more omega 3 than omega 6 - I would also add walnuts to his list of things with omega 3].

Cells cannot get glucose and also vit C inside when the walls are made by DuPont [the MD is a bit cynical]. You're not surprised are you? DuPont probably knew this 50 years ago. It takes 3-12 months for blood sugars to return to normal without any more drugs. This treatment is being done by the naturopathic docs in Phoenix. If you add an organic diet and vitamin c on top of this you will stop most heart disease and cancer. If a person would then only seek medical care for trauma or some surgical emergency, he will have eliminated the top 3 causes of death in the USA."

I personally find it amazing that few medical doctors tell their patients that the major cause of type 2 diabetes is man-made fats, such as trans-fatty acids, hyrogenated oils, canola oil, etc.

I cannot emphasize enough that you must take significantly MORE omega 3 than omega 6. You MUST monitor both items in your diet and supplements!!

It is important to understand that a person's diet generally contains more omega 6 than omega 3. Thus, when you buy an omega 3 supplement, it must be of the highest quality (certainly not a pill) and it must have a ratio of at least 3:1 of omega 3 to omega 6.

Think about why. If your diet has more omega 6 than omega 3, and if you need to intake more omega 3 than omega 6, then your supplements must contain at least a 3:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6.


Details of the Cure
NOTE: Each time you make a batch of the Budwig Diet, consume it within 10 minutes so it does not deteriorate in potency. Also, do not add anything into the mixture until AFTER the cottage cheese and flax seed oil have completely mixed together.

Because the Budwig Diet Mixture is used for multiple diseases, a separate article has been written on how to make the Budwig Diet Mixture. Read this detailed article very carefully and keep referring to it. After reading it for the first time, come back to this article:
How to Make the Budwig Mixture

A diabetic should take at least 4 tablespoons of the flaxseed oil every day as part of their treatment. That is the minimum dose.

You can make one mixture twice a day or you can make one very large mixture once a day. It doesn't matter.

Remember to shake the bottle of flaxseed oil each time before you use it and remember to eat the mixture within half an hour after making it.

Also, do NOT use flax seeds or flaxseed cereal as part of the mixture (but they can be added after it is mixed). The whole point to making the Budwig mixture is to convert oil soluble omega-3 into water soluble omega-3 and this can only be done with oils.

When buying fish oils it is critical to make sure the oils do not have mercury and other heavy metals in it. That is why I endorse the high quality Norwegian products.

I need to mention some comments from the superb book: The pH Miracle for Diabetes, by the brilliant researcher Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD. On page 84 he mentions that the body converts alpha lipoic acid into forms of omega-3. On page 111 he recommends a ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 of 3:1 and he recommends borage oil (1,000 mg capsule three times a day) to get the omega-6 GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), LA (linoleic acid) and EA (erucic acid). That is good advice.


MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) - Another Critical Supplement
MSM is the key to making cell walls more elastic. The sulfur in MSM is necessary for the cell walls to return to normal.

However, you should NOT buy MSM unless it is absolutely guaranteed to have zero additives. Take at least 10 grams a day.

Here is an article on how to make MSM Water:
How To Make MSM Water


Some Highly Critical Supplements
My only additions to this treatment would be the following:

1) A REQUIRED supplement for anyone using omega 3 is one of its cofactors: vitamin B12. Two sources of B12 will be given, one a single cell plant, called chlorella, and the other a B12 supplement:
Free eBook on Chlorella and list of vendors
Endorsed vendor of B12 supplement

2) Six capsules of coral calcium (during the treatment), two in the morning, two in the afternoon and two in the evening. After the treatment, you can cut this dose in half. This should be 100% coral calcium (I prefer the Barefoot product), not a mixture of coral calcium and other forms of calcium.

3) A minimum of 10,000 I.U. of Vitamin D daily. This is absolutely required in order for your body to absorb the coral calcium.

4) Vitamin C. Take at least 3 grams a day, but after a couple of weeks gradually move it up to 6 grams a day. Vitamin C should be taken in the form of mineral ascorbates, such as sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, etc. Here is a highly recommended vendor:
Buffered Vitamin C Product

5) Cinnamon - at least 1/2 teaspoon a day, which is critical to "soften" the cell membranes. Cinnamon mimics insulin, thus it may lower your need for insulin immediately.

6) A top quality liquid ionic vanadium product, which will also help the cell membranes. It also mimics insulin and will reduce your need for insulin.

7) A top quality liquid ionic chromium supplement to help the pancreas have the nutrients it needs to make insulin.

All of the items, except for the Vitamin B12, vitamin C and chromium, are added to help your cell membranes.

The liquid ionic vanadium, the liquid ionic chromium and a high quality chlorophyll "green drink" product can be purchased at:
Essense of Life


Important Enzymes
For type 2 diabetes patients who have circulatory problems, it is important to take an enzyme supplement to help treat the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

While the above treatment will cure your diabetes, you may have more immediate needs related to the side-effects of having diabetes.

It is important for such patients to study the "Type 1" diabetes article for critical information about treating the dangerous symptoms of diabetes.

Here is the article:
Type 1 Diabetes Article (for treating the symptoms of diabetes)


Two Highly Recommended Books
Here are two highly recommended books on diabetes:

First: The pH Miracle for Diabetes : The Revolutionary Diet Plan for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics, by Robert O. Young, PhD

Second: Infectious Diabetes is by Doug Kaufmann and David Holland, M.D.

These are new books that EVERY diabetic should study and apply in their lives!!


Comments About Cinnamon
Dr. Richard A. Anderson, at the Human Nutrition Research Center (USDA), found that people who eat apple pie have a significantly lower probability of getting Type II diabetes. Upon further examination, he isolated cinnamon as the substance in the apple pies that was preventing the diabetes. Within cinnamon, the key substance is called: methylhydroxychalcone polymer (MHCP):


•"Dr. Anderson discovered that MHCP can stimulate glucose uptake by our cells. It can even help in the synthesis of glycogen, a polymer of glucose that our bodies produce as a means of storing energy for later use, when it is depolymerized back to glucose. Most of our glycogen is found in the liver, but some is found in our muscles - a handy place to be when we start exercising and need quick energy. Producing adequate amounts of glycogen is a principal function of blood sugar metabolism, and MHCP can help.
Dr. Anderson says that MHCP has effects similar to those of insulin and works almost as well. Both of these substances work by chemically modifying our cells' insulin receptors in a manner that activates them to do their job, which is to allow glucose molecules to pass through the cell wall into the insulin cascade--the series of molecular events triggered by insulin's interaction with its receptor-is also triggered by MHCP. He also discovered that when MHCP and insulin act together, the effect is synergistic, i.e., the total effect is greater than the sum of its parts."
http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/issue118/item8.shtml

While this is published information, orthodox medicine does not encourage people to eat cinnamon as a prevention measure for type 2 diabetes. Nor do they mention that type 2 diabetes is caused by trans-fatty acids and other bad fats. Nor do they tell people what the best diet is for type 2 diabetes patients. Nor do they tell people how to cure their type 2 diabetes."

Several of my family have type 1 diabetes ranging from14 years upwards.

There are also insulin pumps which regulate the disease better than having to do it manually which free up the persons life no end, especially younger people, maybe you might benefit by using one.

A specialist here atone of the local hospitals runs marathons to raise the cash needed to give many of his patients a new lease of life.

I have also been told by a customer that he takes aloe juice not sure if that spelling is correct, however, but as part of his diet he says it has helped him to reduce his insulin intake.

[siriusc]

I have had Type 2 diabetes for over 13 years and have been theatened with having to take insulin injections from the very beginning. I've controlled my blood sugar through diet and maximum does of oral medications for all that time. I have been able to eat almost anything and since I'm fairly active I've had no problems.

After steroid injections for back pain my numbers were way out of control and I found myself having to find a way to avoid the insulin again.

I went on a strict diet and researched every site and piece of information I could. Raw diets were not feasible for me due to other medical problems and I incorporated every possible raw ingredient I was able to process along with sensible practices of organic and hormone free protein.

Simple put, 2 cups of vegtables and 2 cups of fruit per day with only complex carbohydrates and 6 to 8 ounces of lean protein and 2 servings of lowfat dairy.

You can't restrict any further than the above guidelines without causing yourself other medical issues, believe me I've tried. Following these guidelines I dropped weight and lowered my blood sugar back to below normal numbers and avoided the insulin..again. I feel so much better now but came to the conclusion that if I needed insulin I would accept it. I think not worrying about it really helped.

Also I found out an interesting piece of information, cinnamon will lower your blood sugar. Just put a teaspoon or more on top of your ground coffee before you brew it.

Good luck in your search but be careful about creating other health issues.
