DIABETES
BY
IVAN HINCE
Having Diabetes means that your
life is based around your diet and how simple things most of us take
for granted can be a disaster for most sufferers.
Not being a Diabetes
sufferer myself I wondered what all the fuss was about
and until I began to read up on the disease did
everything become clear.
To begin with I was
puzzled why one person would suffer with Diabetes while
others would not and the more I searched for the answer
the more difficult I found the subject to be.
I must have visited
hundreds of websites with all sorts of technical
information from different Doctor's and Specialists
until my head was in a whirl.
It was obvious that
the Doctor's new what happens to the patient but why it
happened and how to cure it was another matter.
Sometimes and especially with Diabetes to much knowledge
can be dangerous yet I began to get the picture of a
life of hell for those who suffer.
Looking for a
Diabetes treatment that was a natural cure for most diseases is time consuming and a
lot of them are not worth the time and the effort to
actually read them but every now and then you do come
across something you think is good.
Knowing that
websites like this can be dangerous especially if I
recommend something that totally is a waste of time and
money after all I do need people to keep coming back.
With all products
and services I tend to do a lot of background work on
the people involved and when I saw that the website I
was going to recommend was the work of Doctor Robert O
Young I knew that it would be good especially after
trying some of his ways and methods myself.
Doctor Young has a
different approach to most and I found his ideas
more than plausible especially when he talks about there
only being one disease and one cure.
At this point I
could waffle on about different aspects of Doctor Young
but I think it best that you go to this website yourself
and make up your own mind.

DIABETIC CAUSES - WHAT ARE THE MYTHS AND FACTS
BY
DOCTOR JOHN ANNE
In this Article I will tell you
in detail what are the primary causes of Diabetes.
The two major causes of diabetes
is the body’s malfunction to produce enough of the
insulin hormone, and secondly the body develops a
resistance to insulin.
• Type 1 diabetes is caused due
to decrease in insulin production.
• Type 2 diabetes is caused due
to resistance of insulin in peripheral tissues.
• In juvenile diabetes, the
cause might perhaps be a lack of vitamin D.
Causes of diabetes -
Diabetes mellitus occurs when
the pancreas does not create adequate or any of the
hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced does not
work proficiently. Thus, this causes the level of
glucose in the blood to be higher than standard levels
1. In Type 1 diabetes, the cells
in the pancreas that are responsible to make insulin are
attacked and destroyed by the body’s own immune
structure, causing a severe lack of insulin. It is not
exactly clear why this occurs, but probable triggers of
this reaction could be -
• infection with a specific
virus or bacteria; • exposure to food-borne chemical
toxins or
However, these are only
supposition, and are yet to be confirmed.
Type 1 diabetes generally
develops in children, teenagers or young adults. Most of
the doctors and scientists believe this is a genetically
caused condition and is not related to lifestyle habits.
Risk factors for developing Type
1 Diabetes include:
1. Family history - a child that
has a parent or sibling with type 1 diabetes has a 2-6%
possibility of developing the disease.
2. Autoimmune disorders - such
as thyroid disease and celiac disease, increases the
danger of type 1 diabetes.
3. Early stoppage of
breastfeeding and/or exposure to cow’s milk -
breastfeeding an infant for at least three months
reducess the risk of type 1 diabetes. Some studies also
show that exposure to cow’s milk or cow’s milk-based
formula before one year of age may raise diabetes
danger.
4. Ethnicity - Americans,
Caucasians have a larger danger of type 1 diabetes as
compared to African-Americans, Asian Americans, Latin
Americans.
5. The past of childhood virus
diseases
2. Type 2 diabetes is supposed
to develop when:
• the receptors on the human
cells in the body that react to the action of insulin
drop short of being stimulated by it – also called as
insulin resistance. In response to this, more insulin
may be developed, and this over-production exhausts the
insulin-manufacturing cells in the pancreas;
• There is just inadequate
insulin available in the body and
• The insulin that is available
may be abnormal and therefore doesn't function
correctly.
The following risk factors
increase the chances of developing Type 2 diabetes:
• growing age
• if it runs in the family, i.e.
genetic
• obesity
• high blood pressure
• diet which is high in fat and
low in fibre
• Sedentary lifestyle with no or
very less physical movement.
• Any illness or disease that
damages the pancreas and affects its capability to
create insulin e.g. pancreatitis (inflammation of the
pancreas) and thyrotoxicosis (a poisonous situation that
results from an overactive thyroid gland).
• Hormone treatment, such as
growth hormone, thyroid hormone and adrenocorticotropin
hormone (ACTH).
What not causes Diabetes?
It is also essential to be alert
of the various myths that have arisen about the causes
of diabetes over time.
Eating sweets, excess sugar or
the wrong kind of food (fried and fatty food) does not
cause diabetes but this type of a diet may cause
obesity, and overweight people are usually prone to
developing Type 2 diabetes. So, it is not the food, but
the effect of food that may cause diabetes. So, if you
like eating and are a foodoholic, make sure to burn out
the extra calories that go on to make the flab.
Stress is not responsible to
cause diabetes, while it may be a cause for the body
turning on itself as in the case of Type 1 diabetes.
Stress, however does absolutely make the symptoms worse
for those who already have diabetes.
People with diabetes should
avoid sugar and sweets. Sugar and sweets increase the
blood glucose, but people with diabetes can securely eat
sugar as part of their meal plan. Diabetes is not
transmissible. A person with diabetes cannot spread it
on to anyone else.
