DAFNE------------Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating
what's wrong with GM?Kind of makes it difficult to be a diabetic and be against GM, and more or less impossible to be a diabetic, a vegetarian, and against GM.![]()
Well if Greensmoothiegirl says you can reverse type 1, then it must be true![]()
I wasn't saying I was against GM. But I am.what's wrong with GM?
Have you read The Origin of Species, clearly the Victorians were playing around at GM before it was even thought of.
Yes there is a type 1 diabetic who has cured his diabetes and saved his leg from gangrene!
Here are some links -

I personally am not on his level yet, but after changing my diet and lifestyle i have dropped my insulin intake significantly!
A raw vegan diet has done wonders for me although im not exercising enough, i still have a good hb1ac at 7.0.
My goals are to start meditating an hour day and exercise about the same amount.
I have managed to quit drinking and smoking so the next step shouldnt be too difficult i hope, ill keep you posted either way.
Wish me luck
I'll go along with that.Meditation will not cure disease BUT an experienced mediator who meditates for extended periods of time and who is capable of reaching deep levels of meditation can facilitate the body in it’s own healing processes. Healing is heightened in a rest state, ie not stressed. In meditation much deeper levels of rest of the body can be achieved and that greatly aids the healing processes but it is not the meditation itself that heals, it is the body that heals itself.
In addition there are types of meditation that can be used to bring about changes in the body but these are not in the reach of 99.99% of the population.
This thread asks “Is type 1 reversible?” So far I have only seen committed negatives and it is understandable because there are probably no known cases of reversal of type 1 diabetes and the doctors don’t believe it is reversible. And definitely one stays on their meds until one sees positive signs, ie medical tests that show that the beta cells are producing insulin again. But if the person has had their pancreas surgically removed of course they are not going to get well from type 1 diabetes.
You have shown videos, which do not really tackle the problem and some are very dubious. However is anyone really interested in investigating the idea of type 1 being reversible?
Type 1 is essentially an autoimmune disease, where the immune system attacks and kills beta cells in the pancreas. Conventional medicine sees that as a machine malfunction, thus a hopeless situation. However is the body just a machine? I found that my body is not a machine. I have found that my physiology is “purpose-driven”. This concept is rejected by doctors. I found that ideas, especially ideas that I have held both consciously and with confidence in mind, had caused my body to react so as to become diseased. AND I have found that in dismissing those ideas my bodily reactivity changes and health is restored. I am a human being, in this incarnation at least, so my body should be working like other human beings. Is anyone here willing to investigate the matter thoroughly?
Are you willing to ask “what ideas would cause a type 1 diabetes sufferer’s immune system to attack their healthy beta cells?” If that could be discovered then the type 1 diabetic has hope for health. I might be able to help but I cannot promise anything. I would very much like to help if anyone here wants to take the subject up seriously. You might be able to benefit from my experience with diseases… maybe???
What about the babies, the children diagnosed with Type 1 ?
. As I said, Hope is a good word and maybe, just maybe, one day with the advancement in scientific medicine, there may be away to reverse it. But I doubt it will be in my lifetime. .But HOPE for my granchild and all the other Type 1's in the world and those who so desperately cling on to that little four letter word, HOPE.
I am sure you mean well but to suggest that diabetes is the fault of a poor relationship is totally wrong and unfair. This may have been the case with you but please refrain from making sweeping statements. Often parents feel guilty as it is if a child develops diabetes, please don't make them feel any worse.Hi Robinredbreast,
You say that your condition arose “after the shock of my husband leaving”. Do you mean he left the relationship or do you mean he died?
You may not have had colitis but rather an inflammation of the pancreas and specifically beta cells. It might have seemed like colitis because the pancreas is close to the top of the large intestine at the top side of the abdomen and easy to confuse, even for a doctor. They don’t immediately think diabetes. The timing of your illness sounds suspicious to me and when you say you have a grandchild with diabetes type 1, it makes me even more suspicious. Why did it happen? I would be looking to find what ideas could there have been to cause your body to react like that? I suspect some foul play by people related to you. But that is my judgement and not necessarily correct. There may be other reason.
I suggest for now you follow my discussion with Spiker.
From what I have seen, I believe that disease in children does not normally come about via a direct effect on a child, although it can happen if the offending parties are close to the child. A child is not completely autonomous but heavily dependent on a parent. It is possible for a child to retain a high level of control over their life but that is rare. I know it is possible because I had very abusive parents. My mother hated me with a vengeance from the time I was born. And I don’t buy the story doctors give of “post partum depression” because in my case her hatred never abated. In fact it got worse and worse right up until she died. I was able to survive without any serious problems. I was able to stand against her mentally, thus sustain my health. This is not the usual.
Most children are highly influenced by the ideas that their parents unwittingly uphold in mind. A parent does not have to be a bad person to harm their children. They only need to be ignorant of the foul play of toxic people in their circle of friends and relatives. This subject is huge. And it is something that was brought up in the Richard Dawkins site in relation to childhood cancers. I will be addressing this matter to the full extent of my knowledge and experience but it may be some time yet before I get to do that. I’m sorry but I feel it is far more important for me to do other work first on diabetes on my main blog at Wordpress and that has to do with adults only for now.
I will say this though. You do not sound very optimistic. I can understand that the disease is disheartening but as you say you need to maintain hope. In Greek we say “hope dies last”. If you do not think that you will ever see a cure in your life time then you set yourself up for failure. You need to change your thinking. I know it is hard when the disease causes real suffering and limitations in your life, but you need to try to see the light in the end of the tunnel. In the early 1990’s I had stage 4 terminal cancer (it was in the ovary, uterus, cervix, colon and both lungs) AND diabetes type 2 and complications from tha,t all at the same time. The doctors gave me no hope. They basically threw their book in the trash and walked out, so to speak. I got myself well. I know I have important work to do so death is not an option.
Look within and find your courage.

Kyrani, if you are elaborating your theories please be sure to keep it totally abstract and refrain from making any comments that resemble a diagnosis for anyone else. That would be highly improper and irresponsible. You are also on very sensitive ground if you are blaming any person for themselves or any other person getting diabetes.
At this point as far as I can tell you are arguing that diabetes is caused by what would traditionally be called The Evil Eye. The projection of a malicious thought or feeling from one person to another. Before going on for pages and pages, could you just confirm if that is what you think?
