Eureka, I Solved It, I Now Understand My Diabetes It Finally Makes Sense And Maybe Even What To Do About It

"Based on the research and information I have on June 06 the following makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen Copyright © 2006

After one year, of really driving me nuts, researching, trying to find an answer, late last night after reading a zillion studies on inflammation, something clicked and it all fell in place. That was my "Eureka moment."

This is my first attempt to explain it even to myself and hopefully to have it finally make sense of our diabetes, for you too.

What has really upset me was learning that even with perfecting and getting my blood sugar under control, diabetes was going to kill me with the same odds, cutting my life expectancy in half.

I finally realize it progresses even with perfect blood sugar control etc, just not as fast.

All I had done after a year of research and hard work and lots of experimentation, was slow down the progression a little, if that.

For example, the 80% shot I would die of diabetic influenced cardio vascular, heart disease, stroke etc. was still untouched.

This "Harlan's body operating system software", really was based on development of my "way back" ancestors before the start of the "agriculture" age and little or nothing had been done to update it for even the "agriculture age".

(Agriculture age was Caveman Switching to eating Grains, Dairy, Grain fed animals etc) .

Now I never the less really respect this amazing operating system as dam near perfect to keep me alive, however, it is still operating on reaction to inputs that are responded to with what were perfect actions for caveman survival.

My software survival system is still reacting the same to keep me alive with responses that are sometimes totally incorrect for my survival today, because it is misinterpreting these new inputs that it is now getting.

It is these wrongly turned on "caveman survival fixes" that are going to kill me.

The first modern man input screw up I came across was on my getting fat.

In the fall, shorter light days automatically shut down the fat storage system.

Along came modern man screw up the light bulb. Light days never got shorter.

Biggest modern man screw up, was no winter famine to use up the fat.

Instead of drawing down the fat store to survive, the winter, I had, even worse, kept adding fat all year.

Yesterday and all last night I was researching everything ever done on the "inflammation" that all the experts were now saying since 05 was the basic cause of or connected to diabetes.

Had previously understood the big villain was "insulin resistance". Turns out insulin resistance is a product of "inflammation".

Inflammation of the cardio vascular system, etc is basically the bodys operating system defense against attacks by bacteria, viruses etc.  pathogens, I think they call it.

Then we have low level inflammation, say 20% in comparison.

This time turned on by lord knows what that is connected with this causing your diabetes thingee....

The high inflammation is short term. This low level causes a problem and screws things up because it goes on and on.

Amongst other things, It, over time, causes your cardio vascular system to "stiffen up" (used to call it hardening of the arteries).

By the way, I am trying to keep this short so am not quoting all the experts etc. to explain this, just my short version..

This inflammation caused rigidity keeps the bodys repairmen cells (EPC's) from moving around freely and getting out in the system to make normal repairs and maintenance.

A few months after I started researching I ran in to a study under way by Joslyn in Boston that was using a form of aspirin that did not cause bleeding as regular aspirin does, in a study to lower inflammation.

That sounded pretty good to me so I got my doctor to get me a prescription for a non bleeding aspirin type they were using since he was trying without any luck to get me to take a baby aspirin a day...and I refused.

Because a British study showed that for every 700 it helped, 1000 had stomach bleeding problems, including some who bled to death in hospitals unable to stop aspirin induced stomach bleeding.

Anyway, I took this high dose stuff for some time and thought it should lower my BG which was the name of the game at the time.... it did nothing on my BG so I quit.

Novice that I was at the time, I had failed to remember they were working on getting rid of inflammation which was not directly connected to blood sugar levels.

This Joslyn study (this is research the Lee Iococa foundation sponsors) is still underway and is not concluded yet but that is what they are testing to use to lower inflammation to where it no longer stiffens up your cardio vascular system and keeps it from being repaired.

Rather then fix it that way I set out to research what was causing the inflammation and correct that. I found they said there were several things that caused inflammation.

Researching for what is causing this long term inflammation, several things do cause it, but to get to the point, will deal here with just two primary factors.

Your "early cave man" hunter gatherer model body was designed and programmed for quite a bit different food then what you have been inputting to the system.

Modern Man has thrown in all sorts of pesticides, insecticides, hormones, food coloring, preservatives, taste enhancer chemicals like MSG, in addition to processed foods that change the composition entirely.

Then we have man made foods like HFC, transfats, etc. We have high temperature cooking, we have pick it green, eat it a week later, ripened without enzymes.

Also foods not on your ancestors list like citrus fruit. potatoes, peanuts and flour, sugar, etc.

All of these things are foreign to your body system and as a result many cause your body to go into low level inflammation, in reaction to them.

Your body software was developed with 100,000 years of primarily fighting and figuring ways to survive famine. Only those that had the right program to survive famine had children so you are descended from a long line of "famine" and winter famine survival people..

Therefore your body operating software has not a line of code on how to handle or best survive obesity. NO GENES ON HANDLING FAT

All your work in lowering your blood sugar is necessary to keep from small vessel problems such as foot problems, kidney and eye problems.

However, as you know it did not and does not stop the heart and cardio vascular problems that kills off 80% of diabetics. .
In contrast, fixing inflammation does. The missing piece of the puzzle.

Wrong food, and overly fat are causing your survival system to go into inflammation survival mode.

The resulting inflammation is causing your body to develop insulin resistance, stiffened arteries etc. cardio vascular maintenance blockage, heart disease, strokes, cancer, you can list all of the modern man diseases...from here down the page...

all diseases and problems the hunter gatherer never had.... Now you know why you have em..

However, this running inflammation long term causes you big problems.

Turn off your body automatic inflammation that developed and caused your insulin resistance etc reaction by ridding yourself of the fat that is turning it on, and stop all input of inflammation causing foods and chemicals.

This is the end of the basic revelation here..

Now...Here is what I have done so far along this line....I have been on the caveman diet, which what I follow is basically what my body was programmed for. I have used sunshine therapy, see our articles on curing neuropathy. Sunshine generates nitric oxide, (NO) (other things do also but sunshine is cheap and works,( see other articles on this. Also see other articles on Nitric oxide and fixing your cardio vascular problems.

The Caveman diet caused me to automatically drop nearly 60 pounds which really helped with the fat part

Suggest you read our stories on how to do this.

However, now that i see what the basic diabetic problem is, any food my body software considers bad news turns on inflammation. Now I am reconsidering and am dropping all citrus, and tomatoes for example. Up until now they were considered border line on whether to be on caveman diet or not.

Also your body is by nature alkaline, and mine is still heavy acid. So am working on the switch to alkaline which should make a big difference in inflammation. (learning how).

There is a test for inflammation and a protein that is abundant when you have inflammation. If you have the protein in high levels it is almost certain you are well on the way to developing diabetes.

There is test for it that costs between $25 and $50 dollars.

Also, yesterday ironically, I did an article on using and correcting the missing Nitric Oxide to get the EPG cells repairing your cardio vascular system.

One option to generate nitic oxide, you can use cavemans natural sunshine treatment to obtain the necessary Nitric Oxide to fix these cells.. It fixed my neuropathy. Do not sunburn. Early morning and late afternoon sun bathing is best.
