Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 one thing I have found is that caffeine is a pain reliever. That's why it is in so many cold and flu OTC meds. But for arthritis, while it relieves the pain on Monday, on Tuesday it is much worse. So I avoid caffeine although I long for a good cuppa almost daily!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Melons are very cooling and alkalizing. I always thought watermelons were alkaline too. But, if she has diabetes, they have a very high sugar content.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 What?! Why no watermelon? I've been living on watermelon this summer and have never felt better. Literally. I eat about 15# a day and last week did it for four days in a row. Why on earth would you not eat watermelon? I must have missed something. Melons are very cooling and alkalizing.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Thanks Carol! I posted before I read you said the same thing as I about watermelon. And also, it's not fruit that is the problem with diabetes, it's fat. It is a proven fact that fat causes the sugar to stay in the bloodstream too long and causes all sorts of problems. You can eat all the fruit you want, even if you have diabetes, as long as you eat NO fat. No oils, no fats which includes avocados, and absolutely no animal fats. Not even "good" fats, flax, fish, etc... Read "The 80/10/10 Diet" by Dr. Doug Graham. He explains it very well. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Mega doses of MSM, organic iron, calcium & magnesium. Drinking acv along with soaking in it will also do wonders... and if you're brave enough and your diet is pretty clean... you have urine therapy.

If I had cancer I would try everything (INCLUDING UT) as I do not wish to get those pearly gates and have God say "If only... you had tried this...I gave you knowledge of it.... you aren't supposed to be here yet." So honestly, yes I would if nothing else was working. I am thinking about it currently as this "bursitis" thing is just not going totally away (as fast as I want it to).. I need to clean my diet up a bit before I do this.... AND YES... I will report to you all when I do. Which brings up the question... has anyone tried this themselves?MorningGlory113@... wrote: you have urine therapy.Suzi...have you tried it? Would you??Be honest now ;-).

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Actually, it all matters. Watermelon will turn into glucose in the bloodstream very quickly in a diabetic patient. Soluble fiber and good fats can actually slow the absorption down enough to mitigate this spike somewhat. When glucose gets to the bloodstream too quickly in a diabetic person, they will have a high BS reading and need more insulin to bring it down, which sometimes causes a roller coaster effect of highs and lows. So if you want that watermelon Diane, I would eat something high in soluble fiber first or at least take a fiber supplement before having a slice. Vegetables need to be your biggest player in daily eating, with the highest and leanest of proteins being a close second. Think soup or stew with lots of legumes. Grains should be kept to a minimum and only be from whole grains.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 So true, Janet. My grandmother was diabetic and she could not eat all the fruit she wanted. She was limited to certain fruit that was lower on the glycemic scale than high sugar fruit and she had to combine her fruit with some sort of protein, fat or fiber. A high sugar fruit was send her blood sugar into the stratosphere. She often had to eat her fruit at breakfast with eggs, bacon, shredded wheat or some other food. Nine people on my grandmother's side of the family were diabetic and each one of them was this way. I also used to work with a woman that was diabetic and she was extremely limited in her fruit intake - she could have berries and that was about it. Fat is also necessary for the body. The only food your brain uses for fuel is fat (certain kinds of fat, true, but fat nonetheless) At 01:16 PM 8/15/2007, you wrote: Actually, it all matters.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Page 39 - "The 80/10/10 Diet" - prior to what I am going to quote he talks about the different types of diabetes and the staggering numbers................ "Given the horrors of this road to ruin, one would expect the masses to cry out for a solution to the growing epidemic of diabetes. Instead, we seem determined to seal the fate that th eCenters for Disease Control has so ominously predicted. How do we ensure the outcome they fortell? we simply need to continue doing what we have done for over sitxty years: eating a diet that id predominated by fat....................... This fat/diabetes connection is not something I fabricated, and it is not unrecognized in conventional medical circles. But it's simple truth points to a condition far too easily and naturally remedied for the mediopharmaceutical cartel to want any part of it. The correlation was documented as early as the 1920's: In 1927 Dr. E. P. Joslin of the famous Joslin Diabetic Center in Boston suspected a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet might contribute to the development of diabetes. In 1936, Dr. I.M. Rabinowitch of Canada presented 1,000 case studies demonstrating it to the Diabetic Association in Boston. In his presentation, he proved that the main factor inhibiting the metabolism of blood sugar in the presence of normal insulin was too much fat in the blood. In 1959, the Jornal of the American Medical Association also documented this casual relationship between fat consumption and diabetes.............. As I have stated repeatedly, consuming fruit does not cause blood-sugar problems, but overeating fat does. If you remove the fat from the diet, in most cases blood-sugar levels return to normal, as does pancreatic functioning. Restricting fruit from the diet is not the cure. In fact, the opposite is true." There are many more pages, but you get the idea and I hope it piques your interest enough to do more study on this matter. I very much doubt Dr. Graham would print anything but his experience in these pages and he states "I have worked with many diabetics over the past twenty-five years........." He states that underconsumption of fruit is a cause of diabetes or a roadblock to recovery. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 When I broke mine, Gloria (I *always* type Glorida!<G>), it was a long time ago (January of 1989), but I don’t remember it taking that long. The pain diminished to bearable so I could get back to work within a couple of days of starting the anti-inflammatory med (Feldene??). I remember that I had to sit on a pillow at work for awhile, but I sure wasn’t in bed for a month! The pain at first was horrendous, though…if I moved wrong, I’d break out into a cold sweat and almost pass out. Big gentle hugs to you…let me know if you need another envelope!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Current research shows there is a link between visceral (belly) fat and the onset of diabetes type 2. All diabetics are advised to watch their fat intake. Like I said, good fats are OK in moderation. This means a little olive oil, not a large order of Mc’s fries. Of course the people with high blood serum fat are more likely to develop diabetes; they are usually gulping down high-sugar soda with that burger and fries, which overwhelms the pancreas’ beta cells. That being said, managing the highs and lows of diabetes is the key factor in a diabetic diet. If caught early enough, some patients have been able to ease back into a normal healthy diet, including fresh whole fruit. These are the ones that exercise, lose the belly fat, and follow a low glycemic index diet for the time it takes the body to recover. My brother did this. It took him a year, and he is still lean and has a normal BS reading. Anyone who carries their fat around the middle has increased risk factors for diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. The rising numbers of type 2 cases in the US are due to diet. Huge populations of peoples genetically keyed to eating a high fiber diet come to the US and start eating burgers and fries every day, with little fruit or vegetables and no exercise. American Indians are at very high risk because for thousands of years they ate nuts, seeds, and legumes – very high in fibers. Kids are coming down with it more and more because they are eating more refined foods, huge amounts of sugar, and get little exercise, fruits, or vegetables. It is more than just a fat problem; it is a whole lifestyle problem.
