Diabetes

I always thought diabetes was caused by some virus... because it is attached to the gut. Its not like the pancreas is somewhere far away... it attached to the gut. Virus or bacteria went up the channel. Now trick is how to get rid of it. It seems that testosterone somehow slows the progression down... you can see with cordyceps and fecal transplants... diabetes got better when testosterone was affected.

SO - here are some other things i found out - some guy is curing diabetes in mice and the pancreas keeps regenerating cells (when i think of the liver and how it can do it... it makes sense) (found it interesting that's all)

GLUTEN - read the blog about gluten - more interesting part was the kids that went on the gluten free diet went into remission - personal stories. No harm in trying. PLUS, there is genetic similarity between celiac disease and type 1 diabetes... (read below for links)

VITAMIN D - there is definitely a connection. You got to get sunlight! The hormones produced are important for the pancreas.

Pancreas - i think it keeps regenerating just like the liver can!

GLUTEN - key is look at the comments at the end - several parents got their kids to go gluten free - and are in remission!!! Got to try gluten free!

This site is not a blog - more official - and it also talks about celiac and type 1 diabetes share similar genes... so there is some truth to gluten intolerance

OH MY - vitamin D link with diabetes type 1 - You need to get out in the sun!

NOTE: vitamin D - there are D2,D3,D4 - etc... below it talks about sulfate D3... etc... if in doubt - i would just get sunshine on the skin. Don't accept an inferior substitute when its easy to get the natural way(through the skin)

What i found fascinating is that there are clusters of diagnoses depending on the time of the year.

Leaky gut - probiotic stopped it - there was talk about celiac disease and leaky gut- i remember reading about a study where they were able to stop leaky gut with this bacteria -Bacteroides fragilis - but more research is needed...
