Myths Related to a Diabetes Cure

If you ask the majority of people who know about diabetes of a possible cure they will most likely tell you that there is no cure. Even most doctors will tell you that there is no cure unless you get a new pancreas and even then some will tell you that the only way to deal with diabetes is through medication and treatment. There is a real sense of hopelessness of reversing diabetes in the medical profession. This is a myth because diabetes is something that is directly related to lifestyle in more than 80% of the cases of diabetes.

The fact of the matter is that a diabetes cure does exist although it’s not really called a cure. Diabetes is reversible by changing lifestyle habits such as the foods you eat and the exercise you do. A diabetes cure is a phrase that is used in the medical community because only the medical community can talk about cures.

The support and education for maintaining a thriving and healthy lifestyle is not promoted very well in the United States. The health care industry in the United States is a $2 trillion tax base for the US Government. Do you really think they want that to go away? The pharmaceutical industry expects diabetes to go up 50-70% in the next 10 years. Do you really think they want to lose out on all that drug money? Think of who profits when you are sick. It is the doctors, hospitals, drug companies and the taxing authorities. Now think of who profits when you are healthy. You do. Do you now see why a healthy lifestyle is not heavily promoted?

How many times have you heard it said that the human body can cure itself of illnesses and disease? This is true if you will give the body the nutrients it needs and the energy to remove the toxins that are causing you pain and disease in the first place. This holds true for diabetes, cancer and even heart disease, the three major causes of death by illness.

For the majority of people who don’t know that diabetes is reversible they will find that medical treatment will maintain their health without reducing their quality of life, as long as, it is detected and treated prior to severe conditions occurring. For these people hope remains that a cure will be found but don’t count on it anytime soon. If they continue to maintain the eating habits that brought them to diabetes in the first place how can they expect a cure to take place? Even if a drug was created to “cure” them of diabetes it will only come back. It is only by changing diet and adding exercise that will prevent them from getting diabetes in the first place. Complete reversal will require a more stringent diet program. Many people who have followed the diet and exercise program detailed in the book, “The PH Miracle for Diabetes” by Dr. Robert Young have stated they no longer have diabetes, or as they put it, they no longer DO diabetes.

In this age of having surgery to cure something diabetes is no different. It is not uncommon to hear of someone who is obese and to learn they had their stomach stapled. Wouldn’t it just be easier to learn how to eat healthy? Surgery for diabetes is no different. Some have opted to get a pancreas transplant. It can cure certain forms of diabetes however it is very rare and very risky. Many people simply can not qualify for a transplant because of the risks involved. If someone does actually qualify for a transplant they are then put on a waiting list and there is no guarantee that you will even get a transplant. It all depends on how serious your condition is and how long is the waiting list.

The bottom line is do your research. Find other people who have reversed diabetes and find out what they are doing. Be sure to consult your doctor before making any dramatic changes to your diet.

As previously stated, a pancreas transplant can cure certain forms of diabetes, but such transplants are incredibly rare and risky and not all individuals are candidates for such a serious and risky surgery. Because of this, a pancreas transplant can not be realistically considered a diabetes cure for most individuals. For those who are successful, potential candidates for such a transplant and whose physicians agree that the risks of the surgery are counterbalanced by the risks of not having the surgery, then the transplant can be a viable option. It is important to note, there is a waiting list for transplants and this is not a surgery that can be rushed nor even guaranteed that it will occur.
