TOPIC:

I am type 2 diabetic for 26 years (52 yr old male) and recently had pancreatitis. I have been on insulin for a few months and metformin forever. I am asking how does protocol 1000 work to resolve diabetes, insulin resistance and pancreatic function ie at a cellular, pathogen, inflamation point and how long this should take to resolve if ever. I have been on protocol 1000 for 4 weeks and my fasting readings are not changing on account of this. What is MMS targetting.

Look into the ketogenic diet, it’s carbs that are keeping your numbers high. Many have reversed diabetes (metabolic syndrome) and have come off all meds including insulin. Don’t fall for the fake food labelled as keto or the net carbs foolery. No more than 20 total carbs, period. Some see improvement in the first month but after 26 years it may be a longer road for you.

The Pancreas requires iodine for proper function and insulin sensitivity but it looks like a lot of the information on that has mysteriously vanished online...

I was a vegan over 30 years ago, it is not a long term lifestyle for humans. It can be used therapeutically in the short term but changing one's way of eating to one that will nourish them for the rest of their life is a better strategy. There is no carbohydrate requirement for humans. There are essential proteins and fats (fatty acids) but a human never needs to consume a carbohydrate, ever. This has been known in the nutritional literature for well over 100 years. Paleoarchaeology has concluded that our ancestral diet was composed primarily of animals. While I am not suggesting one go carnivore, for diabetes a very low carb/ketogenic diet is the most proven and nutritionally rich way of resolving the condition (also has been known for well over a century). Fasting glucose should be 85 mg/dl or lower, forget the garbage espoused by the government. This can be achieved by being a vegetarian, there are many ketogenic vegetarians, but some find that dairy doesn't work for them and have to switch up their foods...leaving their ideology for the truth of anatomy and physiology. We, some domestic pets and a few animals in zoos, are the only ones suffering from diabetes...it is obviously from what we are putting into our bodies. Type II is completely reversible, there may be some lasting effects, but it's something that can be done from diet alone.

Start with Dr. Ken Berry on YouTube (there are hundreds of other doctors on there too). While he is a carnivore today, he used a ketogenic diet to save his own life along with those of his patients. He was following the recommended standard healthy diet and was, as he puts it, severely obese and very sick. He not only is a doctor but has lived through the experience.

Prove it.

I'll help you along. All science is built upon the science that came before it, this is true for biology, engineering, mathematics, etc. The argument that a particular piece of science is outdated just due to its age isn't an argument, it's ignorance. We do not have rumens, we are not hind gut fermentors, and we are not required to spend the majority of our day eating. We are not herbivores, this is in the science which also happens to be published on the NIH website.

Um, the paleo archeological study of humans is primarily about Africa...your insertion of race is ridiculous. Have you ever read any paleo archeology?

Dr Berry has actually reversed diabetes (among many other disorders) in hundreds of patients, most of them living medication and obesity free. He has made it his life's mission. Even type I diabetics have been able to come off of insulin. How in the world can you attack that?

You really need to read the science instead of being dogmatic. For someone that likes to refer to others as conspiracy theorists, you sure are suffering from which you despise.

At this point it's ridiculous. Are you seriously making an argument that anatomy and physiology have nothing to do with herbivores? Do you think lions can just eat grass? I have heard this from vegans before but human babies have been starved to death by their parents feeding them a vegan diet, same for dogs, cats, etc... I understand reading comprehension can be a bit difficult at times, especially when one openly states they have a memory problem, so I suggest you reread what I wrote.

That 100 year old science, actually closer to 150 years, HAS NEVER BEEN DISPROVED! It stands today and still is the basis of nutritional science (the originator of the discovery just might be credited with starting the entire field). There is no carbohydrate requirement for humans. None, zilch, nada. There is no way we are herbivores. If you don't want to listen to anatomy or physiology, how can you ignore our nutritional requirements? We do not need to consume carbohydrates, which includes all plants, ever. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. As I have previously stated, in a starvation situation we can consume carbohydrates to give us a boost in energy to increase our chance of obtaining a nutrient dense source of food...i.e. - protein and saturated fat (both are essential for humans).

Africa being the point of origin for humans is not disputed, by anyone, anywhere. There is no new science. I didn't say it was only restricted to Africa, go read it again. Since modern day Africa is our point of origin it's the bulk of the paleo archeological study of HUMANS!

The nit picking, false technicality interpretation, and/or attempt to purposely misconstrue what I say isn't an honest discussion. You should, at minimum, eat some eggs and start taking nattokinase and/or N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). 
 

You debate nothing, you just say I'm wrong with nothing to back your claim. I've told you many times before, I've been in the science for decades. I spend my time in the repositories reading the studies. Instead of taking a journalist's opinion, I always go to the source. You would be surprised how many studies are improperly designed and/or implemented, eventually leading to a retraction, but in the interim the conclusion (or opinion) is spread as truth (even in medical journals!). The vast majority of dietary conclusions are based on observational data which has been proven to be less than reliable. Covid-19 should be another shining example of the problems within the science. I take the time to dig to the bottom, weed all of the unfortunate garbage out, to find the facts. You could do the same and I expect you to be just as appalled as I was the first time I undertook the task.
