Abby's Magazine -Volume 6 Issue 1 | Page 31 Dr. Mercola on DIABETES The most recent data reveals that, between 2001 and 2009, incidence of type 1 diabetes among children under the age of 19 rose by 21 percent. Incidence of type 2 diabetes among children aged 10-19 rose by 30 percent during that same meframe! Sta s cs such as these point to two very important facts. First, it tells us that diabetes cannot be primarily caused by gene cs, and secondly, it literally screams that something we're doing, consistently and en masse, is horribly wrong, and we need to address it. In this case, that "something" is a seriously flawed diet and lack of physical ac vity. Unfortunately, Dr. Ron Rosedale wrote in 2005, doctors cause diabe cs to D.I.E from their flawed prescrip ons, which stem from a basic lack of insight into the root cause of this disease. D.I.E., here, is a clever acronym for "Doctor Induced Exacerba on," which does indeed include early death. Conven onal medicine has type 2 diabetes pegged as a problem with blood sugar rather than the underlying problem of improper insulin and lep n signaling. The reality is that diabetes is a disease rooted in insulin resistance and perhaps more importantly, a malfunc on of lep n signaling, caused by chronically elevated insulin and lep n levels. This is why the medical community's approach to its treatment is not ge ng anywhere. Trea ng type 2 diabetes with insulin is actually one of the worst things you can do... Recent research has come to the same conclusions that Dr. Rosedale warned us about nearly a decade ago, which is that trea ng type 2 diabetes with insulin can lead further to the development of type 1 diabetes. And, not only are conven onally-trained doctors wrong about the cause of the disease, but they con nue to pass along seriously flawed nutri onal informa on as well, which allows the disease to increase to epidemic propor ons. Study Confirms: 'Insulin Therapy May Do More Harm Than Good' A study published in the June 30, 2014 issue of JAMA Internal Medicine concluded what Dr. Rosedale has been saying for two decades, that insulin therapy in type 2 diabe c pa ents may indeed do more harm than good. As reported by Medical News Today: "In the US, type 2 diabetes is diagnosed when hemoglobin A1c levels reach 6.5 percent or higher. The higher A1c levels are, the greater the risk of other health problems. Some mes the condi on can be managed through changes in diet, but other pa ents with type 2 diabetes may need medica on - such as insulin or me ormin - to help lower their blood sugar levels, and ul mately, reduce the risk of diabetes complica ons. But the researchers of this latest study... claim that the benefits of such treatment - par cularly for people over the age of 50 - may not always outweigh the nega ves. 'In many cases, insulin treatment may not do anything to add to the person's quality life expectancy,' says study co-author John S. Yudkin... 'If people feel that insulin therapy reduces their quality of life by anything Conventional Medicine Has It All Wrong...
