What is Diabetes?

di·a·be·tes   /ˌdaɪəˈbitɪs, -tiz/ [dahy-uh-bee-tis, -teez]

–noun Pathology .
1. any of several disorders characterized by increased urine production.
2. Also called diabe·tes mel·li·tus  /ˈmɛlɪtəs, məˈlaɪ-/ [mel-i-tuhs, muh-lahy-]
. a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, usually occurring in genetically predisposed individuals, characterized by inadequate production or utilization of insulin and resulting in excessive amounts of glucose in the blood and urine, excessive thirst, weight loss, and in some cases progressive destruction of small blood vessels leading to such complications as infections and gangrene of the limbs or blindness.
3. Also called Type I diabetes, insulin-dependent diabetes, juvenile diabetes. a severe form of diabetes mellitus in which insulin production by the beta cells of the pancreas is impaired, usually resulting in dependence on externally administered insulin, the onset of the disease typically occurring before the age of 25.

Animal Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus occurs when the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin. Insulin is required for the body to efficiently use sugars, fats and proteins.

Diabetes most commonly occurs in middle age to older dogs and cats, but occasionally occurs in young animals. When diabetes occurs in young animals, it is often genetic and may occur in related animals. Diabetes mellitus occurs more commonly in female dogs and in male cats.

Can MMS cure diabetes in animals?
The rest of this topic should be used for information and results using MMS in animals.

I see that there are no replies to the animal care topic yet. I think there is something in Jim Humble's latest book regarding animals and MMS so I will try to find something to add to this topic.

Just a note: Our dog died unexpectedly two days ago. We learned that she had a bad infection plus a heart issue. It came on so suddenly and we never had a chance to properly say good-bye -- we had to quickly put her down because she was suffering so badly.

We were/are devistated -- she was our little girl.

Only pet owners will understand.

My condolences Bill. I DEFINITELY understand!!!

I wish I knew enough to be able to reply with information; since, I know how frustrating it is for there to be so little information available for treating our fur-kids. When I was trying to save my fur-daughter Ginger, there wasn't even a forum section for treating animals. I felt like I was fighting in the dark, trying to extrapolate human info. to treat her. I lost her to hemangiosarcoma on 07/04/11. Hopefully, with time, this section will grow.
