CHEMICAL CAUSES OF DIABETES

OK, let's start with 2-butoxyethanol,a solvent in spray lacquers, enamels, varnishes, and latex paints and as an ingredient in paint thinners and strippers, varnish removers, and herbicides. It is also used in liquid soaps, cosmetics, industrial and household cleaners, and dry-cleaning compounds AND in Windex Aerosol and Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner! It's difficult for consumers to know whether their favorite cleaner contains the chemical because manufacturers aren't required to list it on the label.. You've smelled it; it smells like ether. I know most people who clean have smelled it in something. It's found in rocket propellants and industrialization jobs of America during WWII (even for Pres FDR and the primary cause of his death 4-12-45) ... and for the Vietnam vet, the gulf war vet ... painters, those who clean ... even for housewives. It is a known carcinogenic.

Diabetes
The Diabetes Epidemic "We now see an alarming number of children and teens with Type II diabetes" Dr Mirkin

... even as young as 2 years old Larry King-Diabetes Panel - May 20, 2005

Maybe certain groups of people are considered at high risk for diabetes because they have typically done cleaning * and menial tasks through the decades that would expose them more to this chemical, 2-butoxyethanol
Lou Gehrig was a 14 lb baby & 3 other siblings died in infancy. His mother cleaned laundry & cooked to make ends meet. They lived in a poor area of New York. What odd jobs did he have?

In Valdez, Alaska since the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup, doctors have seen a lot of high blood sugar leading to kidney failure. My doctor said that they didn't understand why there was such a complication from 'diabetes' (I would call it endocrine disruption from 2-butoxyethanol exposure). I suspect they are dealing with an effect from a chemical which also targets the kidneys and liver. (Autoimmune liver). Still haven't heard that the underlying fatigue is being found, though, not unlike the rest of the nation these past 70 years
Consider: Diabetes may be from a chemical exposure?
What about high blood sugar (or low)? Maybe diabetes type 2 is part of what this chemical causes, as a late appearing 'birth defect' OR with sudden onset after flu-like symptoms - after one's own direct exposure to 2-butoxyethanol. Maybe that is why overweight and Syndrome X (metabolic problems, too?) and kidney failures eventually ... are part of what a chemical exposure does? Maybe we are dealing with a chemical which is targeting the kidneys directly? * That causes many autoimmune problems?

***********************
please note!
Type 2 diabetes first 'classified' in 1959? Remember "Better living through Chemistry"? Right around 1959......
***********************
I know that my mother and I both did cleaning for a living at certain times in our lives.

Medical science has discovered how sensitive the insulin receptor sites are to chemical poisoning. Metals such as cadmium, mercury, arsenic, lead, fluoride[ii] and possibly aluminum may play a role in the actual destruction of beta cells through stimulating an auto-immune reaction to them after they have bonded to these cells in the pancreas. It is because mercury and lead attach themselves at highly vulnerable junctures of proteins that they find their great capacity to provoke morphological changes in the body. Changes in pancreatic function are among the pathogenic mechanisms observable during lead intoxication.

Lead exposure has been associated with an increased risk of hypertension, and is a well-established risk factor for kidney disease. Whether lead affects blood pressure indirectly through alterations in kidney function or via more direct effects on the vasculature or neurologic blood pressure control is unknown though. Researchers at Harvard Medical School state, “Our findings support the hypothesis that long-term low-level lead accumulation (estimated by tibia bone lead) is associated with an increased risk of declining renal function particularly among diabetics or hypertensives, populations already at risk for impaired renal function.”

Cadmium is a widespread environmental pollutant that accumulates
in the pancreas and exerts diabetogenic effects in animals. In a large
cross-sectional study, urinary cadmium levels are significantly and dose-dependently associated with both impaired fasting glucose and diabetes.

Transsulfuration pathways in the body are fundamental for life. When mercury blocks thiol groups cellular proteins lose their reactive properties, lose their ability to carry out their routine function. Insulin has three sulfur-containing cross-linkages and the insulin receptor has a tyrosine kinase-containing sulfur bond, which are the preferred targets for binding by both mercury and lead. Should mercury attach to one of these three sulfur bonds it will interfere with the normal biological function of the insulin molecule. Mercury, many times more toxic than lead, is so dangerous exactly because it is collapsing/damaging critical sulfur-containing cross-linkages which change the geometry of both insulin receptor sites and insulin itself.

Commercials tell children that junk food is good food
- the latest message from an industry that spends
$10 billion a year marketing to children.
New York Times

Food is not considered junk just because of high fat or sugar content, there is a long list of poisonous chemicals used by the food industry that are striking people down. And there are many serious nutritional deficiencies in today’s food that diminish the bodies capacity to deal safely with these chemicals and heavy metals - with magnesium and selenium deficiencies at the top of the list.

For instance, according to Dr. Ellen Silbergeld, a researcher from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, the poultry industry’s practice of using arsenic compounds in its feed is something that has not been studied: “It’s an issue everybody is trying to pretend doesn’t exist.” Arsenic exposure is a risk factor for diabetes mellitus. [x] Inorganic arsenic is considered one of the prominent environmental causes of cancer mortality in the world. Chicken consumption may contribute significant amounts of arsenic to total arsenic exposure of the U.S. population according to the Journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

“Arsenic acts as a growth stimulant in chickens—develops the meat faster—and since then, the poultry industry has gone wild using this ingredient,” says Donald Herman, a Mississippi agricultural consultant and former Environmental Protection Agency researcher who has studied this use of arsenic for a decade. At mean levels of chicken consumption (60 g/person/day), people may ingest 1.38-5.24 micrograms/day of inorganic arsenic from chicken alone. At the 99th percentile of chicken consumption (350 g chicken/day), people may ingest 21.13-30.59 micrograms inorganic arsenic/day and 32.50-47.07 micrograms total arsenic/day from chicken. Arsenic is a human carcinogen linked to liver, lung, skin, kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers. It can also cause neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune system abnormalities. The feeding of arsenic to chickens in the United States releases hundreds of tons of arsenic into the environment every year in the form of poultry manure, which is spread on fields as fertilizer.

Researchers from the Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University [xiii] Hospital found, “The association between arsenic exposure and diabetes mellitus is a relatively new finding. Up to now, there are six epidemiologic reports linking diabetes mellitus with arsenic exposure from environmental and occupational sources. Two reports in Taiwan carried out in the blackfoot disease-hyperendemic villages, one cross-sectional and one prospective follow-up of the same cohort, indicate that arsenic exposure from drinking artesian well water is associated with prevalence and incidence of diabetes mellitus in a dose-responsive pattern.

The observation of the relation between arsenic exposure and diabetes mellitus is further supported by studies carried out in Sweden and Bangladesh. In Sweden, case-control analyses of death records of copper smelters and glass workers revealed a trend of increasing diabetes mellitus with increasing arsenic exposure from inhalation. In Bangladesh, prevalence of diabetes mellitus among arsenic-exposed subjects with keratosis was about five times higher than unexposed subjects.”
Doctors are on notice that many drugs have toxic effects that can participate in destroying insulin creation and cell receptivity to it.
***IMPORTANT!***
In her 1994 book, Poisonous Prescriptions, Landymore-Lim's says that diabetes may in fact be a major side effect of pharmaceutical drugs. The book provides evidence from studies and hospital records. Diabetes, usually thought to be largely a genetic disorder, may actually have increased so much in the last 50 years due in large part to the proliferation in the use, and over-use, of medicines. In 2004 the American Diabetes Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists made a similar announcement warning people to be careful to watch for signs they are developing diabetes, obesity or high cholesterol if they are taking Abilify, Clozaril, Geodon, Risperdal, Seroquel or Zyprexa. What medicines, food and water have increasingly in common are the chemical poisons they contain.
MSG causes a very large insulin response after it is ingested since there are glutamate receptors in the pancreas. MSG opens calcium channels, thus constricting blood vessels – this may put diabetics with high blood pressure at risk by negating calcium channel blocker medication.

Press Releases
2006 Releases
Chemical Compounds Restore Normal Glucose Levels and Insulin Action in Obese Mice
For immediate release: August 24, 2006
Boston, MA – Treatment of obese and diabetic mice with compounds that act as chemical chaperones called PBA and TUDCA restored healthy glucose levels and normal insulin action — and reduced the presence of fatty liver disease — according to a study published in the August 25 issue of Science (Science 2006; 313: 1137-40). The work was conducted by a team of researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH).
TUDCA and PBA treatment also appeared to interfere with the storage of fat in the liver, significantly reducing the presence of fatty liver disease -- a condition closely related to obesity and insulin resistance. One form of this disease — nonalcoholic steatohepatitis — is associated with inflammation and the creation of fibrous tissue, which can lead to cirrhosis.

PBA has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clinical use in urea-cycle disorders in humans. TUDCA has been used as a liver-protecting agent in human cholestatic liver diseases.

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is available here:http://www.discountanabolics.com/p/TL13, (TUDCA) is a drug[a chemical-taurine-found naturally in Bile- that lost it's patent, it expired and no one is researching it, it has been shown to cure several conditions-TypeII Diabetes, and cancer for two.
A bad liver will contribute to a bad pancreas, you remember; the organ that produces insulin.....



“Already used safely in people for some disorders, these compounds and others like them may warrant clinical investigation into their effects on type 2 diabetes in humans,” said Hotamisligil. “If these compounds work in humans as they do in experimental models, they could dramatically change the approaches to treat many components of metabolic syndrome.”

MORE AND MORE WE SEE THE PRUDENCE OF READING ALL LABELS, KNOWING WHAT EACH INGREDIENT CAUSES, WEIGHING THE CONSEQUENCES....

A new hair salon opened up for business right across the street from the old established hair cutter's place.

They put up a big bold sign which read:
"WE GIVE SEVEN DOLLAR HAIRCUTS!"

Not to be outdone, the old Master Barber put up his own sign:

What do angels look like?
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.

Like the taxi driver who told you that
your eyes light up the world, when you smile.

Like the small child who showed you
the wonder in simple things.

Like the poor man who offered
to share his lunch with you.

Like the rich man who showed you it
really is all possible, if only you believe.

Like the stranger who just happened to come along,
when you had lost your way.

Like the friend who touched your heart,
when you didn't think you had one left to touch.

Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
All ages and skin types.

Some with freckles, some with dimples,
some with wrinkles, some without.

They come disguised as friends, enemies,
teachers, students, lovers and fools.

They don't take life too seriously,
They travel light.

They leave no forwarding address,
They ask for nothing in return.

They wear sneakers with gossamer wings,
They get a deal on dry cleaning.

They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, But
They are everywhere you look when you choose to see.

EATING RIGHT

As a Diabetic I have to eat right to get healthy. What does that mean? What are good foods and bad foods?

I know, for instance, that I can't eat any processed foods because they are so altered that the body doesn't recognize them as nourishment. And The processed food industry loads fat, sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and salt into their products because they are cheap. Also food colorings of dubious safety and MSG is also routinely added, see also What's so exciting about MSG for all the names of MSG that are used in foods.

"The human body consists of billions of microscopic living cells, composed of perfectly, balanced quantities of water and organic substances. If you have eaten the standard North American Diet for years, without serious harm to your health, it is due to your body's outstanding resistance. Yet genetic weaknesses may be hidden by youth. The cumulative effect of toxins will increase the risk of becoming a host to disease or premature death. Unfortunately, resistance to disease diminishes as the abuse continues. Disease is like heating a pot of water. When the water becomes too hot, it quickly boils over. The biochemistry of the body will absorb toxins only to a point. There is a boiling point—illness!

We live like no other generation before us. A giant experiment of toxic ingestion. In this game, the stakes are high, it can cost your life. We may consider our way of eating as normal, but the modern diet is about as normal as a test tube of chemicals. The body’s chemistry is recreated by ingesting countless food additives and environmental contaminants.

The toxins in your body have been accumulating since birth and are embedded in every cell structure and organ. But do not despair, there is an answer. Toxins disrupt the natural chemistry of your body. Remove the harmful elements in your diet, replacing them with health-filled foods, and a wonderful new metamorphosis will occur. God has created the body to be irrepressibly healthy!
Chemicals which have the power to produce mutations through chromosome damage are called mutagens. They cause disruptions of the genetic code which are responsible for over 15,000 inheritable, genetic disorders. Sadly, they may have a drastic consequence to our grandchildren.

The food industry aims at making products look and taste appealing without thought to the products' nutritional value. Loaded with chemical additives and designed to be addictive, processed food is manufactured first for profit."

Instead of using, for instance, Lemon juice to enhance the flavors of foods scientists use a chemical called 2-methyl-3-(pisopropylphenyl)-propionaldehyde to replace it for cost effectiveness.

Feed for chickens includes arsenic [SHADES OF OLD LACE!] to improve egg laying and give the chickens a more yellow skin. Aluminum compounds are added to baking powder, aspirin, pickles, antacids, beer, table salt and antiperspirants, and Aluminum is implicated in Alzheimer's.

Then there are the genetically modified foods:
(2)

"The real dangers of GE foods

DNA is a natural part of our diet being present in foods which either
retain or are derived from whole cells (fruits, vegetables, meat etc.).
This being the case it would be expected that we would also digest the DNA
from GE foods without any health problems. It would therefore appear that
the mere presence of genetic material in GE food only poses a danger in
certain special cases as, for example, where antibiotic resistance genes
persist in a product. However, the main hazards that result from the use of
genetic engineering in food production stem from the fact that (i) genetic
engineering brings about combinations of genes that would never occur
naturally and (ii), in the case of plants and animals, genetic engineering
is an imprecise technology resulting in the random incorporation of the new
genes into the host DNA. These two effects always combine to produce a
totally unpredictable disturbance in host genetic function as well as in
that of the introduced gene. The resulting disturbance in the biochemistry
of the host can unexpectedly produce novel toxins, allergens and reduced
nutritional value. Therefore, it is quite possible for a processed food in
which the DNA has been destroyed or removed to still possess potentially
harmful substances."

To paraphrase, GM foods are harmful because they aren't food that our bodies recognize as food.

(3)

"[What is] "hybrid" and why it is that much of a problem?

Answer: Hybridized foods are genetically altered foods. They are foods which will not survive in nature without human protection. They are strains of foods which have been artificially bred together to appeal to the numb tastebuds of cooked-food eaters. For example, beets in the natural state are 4% sugar. Beets in the supermarket are 17% sugar. The same holds true for carrots. Most fruits and vegetables, even if organic, are genetically altered to some degree. The best guideline is to avoid seedless fruits of any kind. Also, in terms of vegetables: carrots, beets, and potatoes should be avoided. Nearly all legumes are weak hybrid strains and should be avoided."

I'd add all corn, soy, and rice are GM.

This why I totally control what I eat, I do all my cooking and use only whole foods. Recently I found that the simplest spices contain additives I won't ingest so, I make my own see:Another Advantage to Summer/Katy's essence

Please read the sources cited there is so much more information.

coconut oil

,

,Essential fatty acids,FLAX SEED OIL,

AND

AND THE
~~~JOKES~~~
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young engineer who was fresh out of MIT, "What starting salary were you thinking about?" The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?" The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

A couple of young boys were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track. All of a sudden, the Game Warden jumped out of the bushes. Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods like a bat out of hell. The Game Warden was hot on his heels. After about a half mile, the young man stopped and stooped over with his hands on his thighs to catch his breath, so the Game Warden finally caught up to him. "Let's see yer fishin' license, Boy!" the Warden gasped. With that, the boy pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a valid fishing license. "Well, son," said the Game Warden, "you must be about as dumb as a box of rocks! You don't have to run from me if you have a valid license!" "Yes, sir," replied the young guy, "but my friend back there, well, he don't have one."

Joan, who was a rather well-proportioned secretary, spent almost all of her vacation sunbathing on the roof of her hotel. She wore a bathing suit the first day, but on the second, she decided that no one could see her way up there, and she slipped out of it for an overall tan. She'd hardly begun when she heard someone running up the stairs. She was lying on her stomach, so she just pulled a towel over her rear. "Excuse me, miss," said the flustered assistant manager of the hotel, out of breath from running up the stairs. "The Hilton doesn't mind your sunbathing on the roof, but we would very much appreciate your wearing a bathing suit as you did yesterday." "What difference does it make?" Joan asked rather calmly. "No one can see me up here, and besides, I'm covered with a towel." "Not exactly," said the embarrassed man. "You're lying on the dining room skylight."

Have a great day!
