Diabetic, going to Prime

Not true at all, slim t. People were the same height as they are now. They lived longer, healthier disease free lives. The number 1 cause of death was infection. Its strictly due to the discovery of antibotics that people live, on the average, longer now. Back then, babies and children died far far more frequently due to infections. For example, when a male 1 year old baby died, that baby was factored into the male life expectancy. The numerous amount of babies and children drove down the life expectancies to 40 years old. People who made it past their childhoods tended to live long, productive lives. They lived far healthier lives than they due now. Nowadays, all you see are sickly train wrecks who are three quarters dead by the age of 50. The number 1 causer of death in the past was infections. Number 2: fires. Number 3: nature attacks, such as wild animals, bat scratches, drowning, you get the drift. My grandfather lived to be 100. He never went to doctors, claiming that "stay away from doctors and hospitals. They will kill you". He owned a little farm in Orange, Connecticut. He planted 5 acres of corn and harvested, BY HIMSELF, NO FARMHANDS, until he was 92. He stopped at 92, solely because his legs were bothering him. He was in numerous tractor accidents over the years and it took a toll on his legs. He put himself in a convalescent home and they began feeding him factory processed, nutrient stripped foods. He lost his gall bladder, as a result, and died from the gall bladder operation at 100. My grandfather lived his life on farm foods and ate tons of animal fats. He would eat salt pork sandwiches, made out of a thick slab of fried salt pork between 2 slices of bread. My grandfather was also a heavy smoker and liked to drink. He laughed at doctors, as did most people in his age group. I saw numerous people like my grandfather. They scorned the medical industry as quackery. I knew somebody who drove her own car and walked like a 20 year old until she was 111. I knew a guy who roofed his house by himself when he was 110. The old ceemetaries are loaded with people who died in their 80s, 90s and 100s. Even the State of Massachusetts acknowledges on a website that people lived longer, healthier lives back then. None of these people worried about their animal fat intake and had an adequate magnesium intake. They didn't use factory prepared foods and sit on peculiar diets, such as low fat or vegan. They didn't use new fangled foods such as vegetable oils and soy. They ate grassfed, pastured meats and non GMO vegetation. THEY USED BUTTER. They ate according to the laws of Nature, not what some quack fool doctor says. I'm 55 and on NO medications whatsoever. Never was and never will be. I have NO ailments whatsoever and, guess what? Everyone who meets me thinks I'm 28 because my skin is tight and wrinkle and rumple free. (By the way, wrinkles and sagging skin mean that you are sick. Something is giving away inside your body and it reflects on your skin.) SMARTEN UP, PEOPLE! THE DOCTOR IS NOT THE GOD YOU THINK HE IS!

 

Doctors are nothing more than salesmen for the major drug companies. Doctors don't cure your ailments. All they do is suppress symptoms with dangerous, man made pills. Yet, all you people do is worship doctors like they are gods. They toss pills around like confetti and never cure your ailment. They just keep you coming back for more and more pills. Is the doctor curing diabetes, cancer, arthritis, acid reflux, anything you can think of with the exception of infections? Of course not. Doctors are just as bad as dentists. Its an occupation and the purpose of an occupation is to make money. He gets an income from you being sick, not well. Mr. Diabetic, get yourself a RED CELL MAGNESIUM TEST, Pronto! And, BE SPECIFIC! You want a RED CELL test only! MAKE SURE YOU SAY THE WORDS, RED CELL MAGNESIUM TEST. Otherwise, they will do the wrong test on you. Sickness is a BIG business in this country. Think of the trillions of profits that would be lost if people ate like they did centuries ago. Between the doctors, hospitals, drug companies and processed food manufacturers, think of all the lost profits! Its been known since 1936 that magnesium deficiency has been the problem all along. I'll give you 3 guesses as to why this has been kept quiet and the 1st 2 guesses don't count!

 

Pit Bull is speaking the truth about life expectancy and the fact that people were healthier 100 years ago. Main cause of death, infection because no antibiotics, also epidemics-- the Spanish Flu killed a huge percentage of the world's population back then. In 1918, it killed 25 million people in its first 25 weeks. The Main victims were children, the elderly-- It hit in 3 waves and in the end killed approximately 100 million people-- thus the 40 year old "average" life expectancy.

I'm on extreme low carb myself (LCHF). My numbers are great, blood glucose, cholesterol, etc. I feel wonderful, best yet, my skin is healing because I am finally getting more fat. I am losing weight because I am eating more fat. Low calorie diets are a killer. Sugar is poison, I truly believe it. Keep away from any white powder-- sugar, aspartame, flour, cocaine, (it is all the same), and potatoes, rice, skimmed milk (only drink full fat), fruit, or any low fat food and you will be healthy.

My Grandma lived to be 100 too. Never was sick until the end, and then, it was very quick and natural.

 

KateL. Sugar drains the magnesium quicker out of your body. When sugar was first discovered back in the 15th century, the Queen of England and her court used it extensively. When a member of the French royal family visited the Queen, he was shocked. Her teeth and the teeth of her coutesans were jet black! Tooth health is directly linked to nutrition, also. It's not food particles that decay teeth. If you ate like a caveman, you would have a full set of perfect, pearly white teeth if you lived to be 100. Sugar suppresses the immune system, thus leading to tooth decay and infections. After the invention of sugar, people began to have problems with tooth infections. George Washington pulled out all his own teeth and wore wooden dentures in order to avoid future tooth infections. Most infection deaths back then were due to tooth infections prior to the discovery of antibotics. My grandfather pulled out all of his teeth with a pair of pliers back in the 1920s in order to avoid future death by tooth infections. Prior to the 15th century, people had beautiful teeth without tooth brushes, tooth paste and dentists. ou have to eat according to nature's laws. Nature designed our bodies in a specific way and we have to eat that way in order to retain our health. A rule of thumb is: If the product cannot be found growing naturally out in the woods and easy to obtain in quantity that way, it was not meant for you to eat it in quantity. Vegetable oils are a great example. Can you go out in the woods and immediately find large pools of vegetable oils? Of course not. Hence, nature doesn't want you to eat it in quantity. You get enough vegetable oils just by eating vegetables. Grains are also not found in large quantity for the taking, either. Grains have only been in the human diet for the past 4000 years. The human body has yet to adapt to a large grain intake. People don't prepare grains properly anymore anyway. They are supposed to be soaked for at least 8 hours, and preferably sprouted, before consuming. That's how people ate grains for the past 4000 years. Now, they just shove the grains, such as oats, in their mouths without soaking. Grains are loaded with toxins and soaking helps remove these toxins.

 

I'm on the same page as you are Pit Bull. These folks don't seem to understand that sugar -- refined sugar has not been around long, and even flour milling was not the same as it is now. This is poison industrialized food. I am only worried that I will not be able to eat my "cave man" diet on the road, that is the main reason I want to go Regional, so I can at least take a quick shopping trip every week and be able to stay with my meat.fat, and leafy green veggies type of diet.

This actually has relevance to the Diabetic conversation. Diabetes is a man-made disease, and is due to the choices in food that people make-- usually ignorantly, and often taught by their mistaken parents. I rarely go to the inner part of the grocery store. Nothing in there should be eaten by humans, or animals. (What do they say-- there are so much chemicals in the bread and cereal that a rat will not even eat it-- but human beings, as stupid as they are, will just gobble it down.)

 

Most infections were due to dental issues? Really??? Wounds received in battle might have had a thing or two to do with it, not to mention other injuries one could receive back then, and the fact that a simple cut could result in a killer infection. There were also massive plague outbreaks, and not everyone had beautiful teeth prior to the 15th century. You should try reading more history first before making such statements.

Sugar is also not the only reason for dental issues . . . medications, dry mouth, and various other causes as well. There were other sweeteners such as honey used prior to the 15th century, and Elizabeth was Queen in the 16th century (the 1500's) not the 15th century (1400's).

Regarding the grains, again you are wrong in how they were used. It depends on the grain. Oats, wheat, and other grains were used dried and ground similar to the ways they are used now, just not as processed. Oat cakes and hard baked bread were used by numerous armies over the centuries. You can't use grain in bread if it has been soaked and is sprouting.

Making blanket statements without doing research to back them up is not good for your health or anyone else's.

 

Diabetes is NOT a man made disease . . . There are more causes to the body's inability to properly produce insulin than diet and food choices. Look up the results of Pancreatitis and having to have most of the pancreas removed . . . results in diabetes . . . I know this as fact, as a friend of mine became diabetic because of that exact problem. It cost her her live at the young age of 40 as well.

 

Lilbit, unfortunately you are the one making the blanket statements. Grains were stored way back when in buildings that were not temperature controlled and they sprouted on their own. You people don't know or understand nowadays how to handle and properly prepare food, let alone grains. When I was a child back in the 1960s, the Quaker Oats packages always had a statement that the oats must be soaked for 8 hours prior to preparation. That was removed off the packaging in order to woo lazy women who don't care to cook. All grains have to be soaked in order to remove plant toxins, such as phytates. Phytates are anti-nutrients that inhibit the vitamins and minerals from entering your system. Plants, like animals, have their own natural defenses against predators. Grains are an unnatural food for the human body, anyway. Its only been in the human diet for 4000 years and the human body hasn't adapted to it. I also want to add that tooth decay was the number 1 source of infection prior to the discovery of antibotics in the late 1940s. There weren't constant, continual battles going on, Lilbit. So, your argument that people mainly died from battle wounds is silly, at best. Another main killer was tuberculosis, also known as consumption. Antibiotics cures tuberculosis and that probem was solved. Lilbit, it sounds like you are trying to justify a very poor diet. Its a shame that people don't listen and, instead, spend a huge amount of time popping pills and racing to the doctors. Then going home and eating "food" that was prepared out of cans, boxes and packages. "Food" designed to make the medical industry dirt rich.

 

I agree that diabetes is a man made ailment. Linus Pauling, who was a 2 time nobel prize winner, once said that "Every type of ailment that a person gets can be traced to nutritional deficiencies". Ancient Rome was known for processed foods and chemical additives. The Romans eventually became defective and were easily overrun by the Germans (who they called barbarians) from the north. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. History repeats itself. The old tv program, "The Twilight Zone", made a prediction of future American society in one of its shows. The episode was about a woman who was lying in a hospital bed with her head wrapped in bandages. She kept bemoaning to the unseen medical staff that she hoped that the plastic surgery worked and she would look like everybody else. The episode went on like this for a half hou before the bandages were cut off her face. She had a beautiful face but she screamed in horror when she looked in the mirror. The camera then panned the medical staff, who had pig snouts for noses and huge upturned lips. You see, they predicted that in the future, the freaks become the norm and the norm become the freaks. Today, you can see it happening all around you. The morbidly obese who yell "fat is beautiful", super skinny women who look like a bag of rattling bones, old sagging looking faces on 20, 30, 40 and 50 year olds, women with big bald patches on their heads, the list is endless. There is always an excuse being made. I see ads on tv about "female pattern baldness". There is no such thing. Its more like malnutrition. I didn't see these type of people when I was a kid. These women can't even grow their hair anymore and even teenagers wear hair extensions. The entire female cast of Jersey Shore wear hair extensions. PATHETIC!

 

And just where do you get your information Pit Bull???? Those are not facts that I have read anywhere in all of my readings over the years, and that has been a lot of reading. I did NOT say that battle wounds were the biggest killer, but one of many. Really, pick up some books and do some research sometime.

And look really, look up the various causes of Diabetes. I listed one that is NOT man made. I'm sure I can find more with a simple google search.
