Cure Diabetes?


Today’s Oracle


My software angels choose this oracle quote for you today: 

375) There is a deep-seated misconception that being intuitive is a gift. It’s not. There is no such thing as a gift for intuition. I have finally realized that courage is the true gift, and intuition is sharpened as a result. Either you develop the ability to respond physically to what you are hearing, feeling, and sensing on the inside – or you don’t.  

Responding to others takes guts. What determines whether or not you have those guts is self-esteem. It is a strong sense of self. It is a willingness and ability to take charge of yourself.

You don’t need a lot of self-esteem. A little bit goes a long way; suddenly you are generous enough to give up the need to control other people.  

You don’t need to become 100% empowered. A 51% to 49% ratio will do this trick. Just get to the point where you’re conscious enough to hold yourself accountable for your own feelings.  

Just admit that you’re jealous, or embarrassed, or that you could betray a friend. Just get a little bit honest with your shadow. The moment you arrive there, you can really start dealing with your life. - Caroline Myss: Invisible Acts of Power, Healing the Heart of the World

Cure Diabetes?


The number one best seller with the unfortunate title: Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back To Health by William Davis, MD blew my  mind.  It may also save your life or more likely prolong your happy years. 

These paragraphs from the book set the stage:

After three months [being wheat free], my patients returned to have more  blood work done.  As I anticipated, with only rare exceptions, blood sugar had indeed often dropped from diabetic range to normal.   

Yes, diabetics became nondiabetic.  That’s right:  Diabetes in many cases can be cured – not simply managed – by removal of carbohydrates, especially wheat, from the diet.  Many of my patients had also lost twenty, thirty, even forty pounds.  (My emphasis.  WW) 

But it’s what I didn’t expect that astounded me. 

They reported that symptoms of acid-reflux disappeared and the cyclic cramping and diarrhea of irritable bowel syndrome were gone.   

Their energy improved, they had greater focus, sleep was deeper.  

Rashes disappeared, even rashes that had been present for many years.   

Their rheumatoid arthritis pain improved or disappeared, enabling them to cut back, even eliminate, the nasty medications used to treat it.   

Asthma symptoms improved or resolved completely, allowing many to throw away their inhalers.   

Athletes reported more consistent performance. 

All that in three months. Holy Cow. 

Later he adds heart disease and other details to the already impressive list of conditions that stopping wheat consumption affects. 

I’ve been using the Slow Carb Diet from Four Hour Body for over two months.  (See my Blog Post.)  In that program, I didn’t eat grains of any kind six days of the week and then I ate whatever I wanted on the seventh day including grains, including wheat.  This was not a wheat free diet.  Just mostly wheat free. 

In a second, I’ll tell you my blood results. 

Hi my name is William, and I’m a recovering wheat eater. 

Wheat can be addicting.  It is for me.  When you digest the gluten in wheat, it converts to gluteomorphin, which jumps across the blood brain barrier and attaches to your opiate receptors, just like heroin and other opiates.  Yikes. 

No wonder that the day after my pizza craving was consummated, I wanted more, even though I was hung over from what I had just consumed. 

The wheat you eat today is not the wheat of years ago.  And certainly not the wheat of 9000 years ago.  About 50 years ago, researchers and scientists started an intense program to hybridize wheat to feed the world.  They were successful in that effort. 

The mistake was thinking that all that messing with genes wouldn’t effect the nutritional value of the wheat.  They didn’t do animal testing or human testing along the way before essentially introducing the new wheat into the world where farmers grow it nearly exclusively.

A Naysayer


A naysayer says that this wheat sensitivity is overstated and only applies to a small number of wheat eaters.

I disagree, but who cares. 

It’s easy to test.  You just quit eating wheat and every food that contains wheat – and wheat’s in 100s of things.  Do that for a few weeks or three months and see how your health improves.  If nothing changes, wheat wasn’t your problem. 

Back to my Slow Carb Diet.  My blood test after two plus months found me more solidly in the happy zone with my sugar levels.  My heart risk indicator which is based on my cholesterol profile was the best ever.  My triglycerides were perfecto. 

Was it wheat?  Probably.  It was certainly better carbs – substituting legumes for grains, Eliminating fruit and fruit juices. 

Test it for yourself.  Read the book.
