Yes, the medical establishment, including the ADA and the AMA, have known diabetes was able to be put into remission, or even “cured,” since 1800.

Ask yourself why.

A FReeper mentioned this on a thread in the past week or so, causing me to look this up.

Hence the Islands of Langerhans in the pancreas.

Nope.

Only a vaccine will do.

Only a vaccine with a patent that hasn’t run out.

Dr Fung plan book very good.
But hard to comply with if you have a lifetime of different dietary habits.

Type 1 cannot be cured.

And by not eating, that means starving until you die.

Read The Discovery of Insulin by Michael Bliss.

Why? I am assuming you mean why hasn't the medical establishment told people how to cure diabetes (or put it into 'remission' as you alluded to). Vices exist because life is hard, pretty much for all of us, and people find different ways to cope. For some it is a chocolate cake. For others a pack of Marlboro's.

I want everyone to avoid all of this, and I want everyone to be healthy. That said, everyone has personal choice (or should), and no one else knows exactly what another person is going through.

Victoza costs about $1000 (or more) for a three week regimen. Fasting costs very little.

I think they are called the Islets of Langerhans.

Same with high cholesterol and other “diseases.”

Most physicians still advocate the “balanced diet.”

Plenty of evidence low carb works but from the interviews I’ve seen, few MD’s have faith their patients will stay on it.

Hence they order the meds.

Islets of Langerhans.

The Islands of Langerhans are off the coast of Greenland, discovered by the Viking; Erik "The Dyspeptic" Langerhans, in 910 AD.

😂👌

Number one cause of diabetes (II) is visceral (belly) fat. Not fat anywhere else but specifically around the belly. Get rid of belly fat and it will greatly improve insulin sensitivity. You will almost never see a type II diabetic with a flat stomach. Second is lack of exercise or a sedentary lifestyle. It’s well studied and documented that exercise promotes insulin sensitivity and lack of it causes insulin resistance . Start working out and /or going for long brisk walks and it will do wonders to your blood glucose. Just taking care of these two will reverse type II diabetes in most otherwise healthy people.

Gary Taubes wrote a couple good books on this. Highly recommend.

Cholesterol Myths is also great. Here’s the PDF: https://www.ravnskov.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/CM.pdf

Became much less trusting of the medical community in general after reading this.

When you say fasting are you talking a day, multiple days or weeks?
