Diabetes cured
The diabetes mellitus of User:Georgedappilly is cured.

[edit]

Sample lab results are given there. Details (in vernacular language MalayalaM) are placed there . The English version of procedures, experiences & results is released. Type 2 diabetese is supposed and popularly accepted by experts world over to be incurable . That one is what is cured in him by diet management (appropriate technology). Comment: To monitor your condition, preferably have periodical test using a suitable test kit and/or consultation to doctors.

A very brief description of George's experience

[edit]

A blood test on Jul 07, 2006 showed FBS 118 mg/dl & PPBS 197 mg/dl. Doctor declared him diabetic and prescribed Amaryl 1.0 mg 1/2-0-0. With doctor's permission he went on diet management without taking medicine. Regular periodic check ups showed positive changes. On Jan 24, 2009 switched from FBS-PPBS monitoring to FBS, PPBS & HbA1C (HPLC in D10 Biorad)monitoring. That day

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

HbA1C showed 6.3% (reference range: 4.5%-6.3%). Next on Apr 22, 2009 it came down to 6.1% and on Jul 25, 2009 to 5.9%!!! Then he decided to go for a GTT and had it on Sep 10, 2009. From FBS 85 mg%, with an oral glucose load of 75 gms it went to 155 at 1/2 hr, to 160 at 1 hr, came down to 135 at 1.5 hrs, to 100 at 2 hrs and to 90 at 2.5 hrs!!! According to endocrineweb (http://www.endocrineweb.com/diabetes/diagnosis.html ) and Wikipedia these results show that his diabetes is cured.
In order to make things doubly sure, he took a second GTT at another lab (of an N A B H , I S O & A C H S I accredited hospital). That corroborated the previous test result.

Modus operandi
In order to obtain initial conditions, get FBS, PPBS & HbA1C tests done before hand.

[edit]

1. Facilitate required (optimum-NOT maximum) rest to pancreas by TOTALLY AVOIDING sweet intake; avoid fruits as well till getting CURED. 2. Substitute break fast and dinner by long-wheat kanji (porridge/mash) with a pinch of salt as required and curries (hot/sour side dishes - with no sweet). Continue lunch as it is (with oil, fat, potato, tapioca & sweet restrictions). Take all the three meals stomach full. 3. Reduce food intake frequency by postponing &/or combining and filling the gaps with plain water. May eat or drink more if number of intakes is three (3) or less including refreshments (snacks, tea, coffee, cool drinks etc.) in a day. Reduce oil & fat intake. 4. Brisk, medium or at least normal walk preferably for an hour daily.

Caution
1. 2. 3. 4.

[edit]

Buy & use only unbroken long-wheat lest you should be cheated. If blood sugar does not start decreasing in a month, avoid smoking & liquor if you are in the habit of having them. Monitor blood sugar regularly - FBS & PPBS at least monthly and HbA1C quarterly. If already on tab. or insulin inj. monitor blood sugar more frequently, preferably daily at least. Else one may slip into low blood sugar problem (hypoglycaemia?). 5. Neglecting any of the above eight points (four of modus operandi and four of caution) is similar to removing one of the legs of a table.

Some remarks

[edit]

1. Diabetes (Type II) is considered to be mainly inherited from members up the family tree. Obesity, side effect of some medicines, sedentary life style, physiological or psychological shocks and some unknown reasons are also regarded as its causes. 2. The victims as well as phisicians feel, belive & tell it can only be (supposedly) watched, monitored & controlled carefully, 3. and have to teach & learn to live with it for ever. 4. But this User's experience indicate that diabetes is more caused than happening. 5. and can be prevented/cured and need not live with it for ever. 6. The opinion that any amount of sweet or starch intake is OK until one become diabetic is NOT right. 7. Pancreas is not meant to work 24X7 like the heart & lungs. It needs rest! Frequent food intakes strains it, instead. 8.
However meticulous be the maintenance and good be the control of one's Diabetes, its degenerative feature DO persist and damage vital organs (like Kidney, Eyes, Heart, ...) in due course.
That is why a diabetic patient passes away every 10 seconds (http://www.qda.org.qa/output/page4.asp It is NOT SO after cure. ).

Duration required for diabetes cure

[edit]

Presently (Nov 2009) data available is with regard to a single case of the User:Georgedappilly. It took three (3) years (from July 2006 to July 2009) to get his diabetes cured completly. His being the maiden case, many pit-falls occurred in the process. In future, the duration can be brought down because many mistakes are known now and these can be avoided in coming cases.

The pit-falls

Blood sugar history from pre-diabetic to post-diabetic phase (FBS blue & PPBS red)

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Blood sugar history from pre-diabetic to post-diabetic phase (FBS blue & PPBS red) 1. On completion of eight(8) weeks of special regimen, as the PPBS and FBS came below 140mg% and 105mg% respectively, he marginally relaxed the food restrictions. This moved PPBS above 140mg% in just twelve (12) days (!) {where as it took more than forty (40) days for the FBS to cross the 105mg% mark}. 2. PPBS fell even below FBS level (105mg%) by Jan 2007 (by reintroducing diet control) and remained there till Feb 2007. This was misunderstood as CURE and again relaxed the intake constraints. By a lapse of four (4) months, even though FBS remained much below 105mg% ( at June beginning) PPBS shot up above 140 mg%. 3. On reimposing the restrictions, once again PPBS dropped down even below 105mg% (FBS level) and continued there for three months (12 weeks!). This again was wrongly interpreted as a cure and led to giving up of restrictions. This pushed up the PPBS to 192mg% by July 2008 (even though FBS continued near 105mg%). 4. From mid August to end December 2008, PPBS remained below 140mg% (PPBS upper limit) & FBS continued near or below 105mg% (FBS upper limit). For a fourth time he was misled by these low FBS-PPBS values. As it should have happened, he relaxed diet control and ended up in PPBS reaching 161mg%. Reintroducing of diet control this time (Jan 20, 2009 onwards) really did the job. After five (5) months he got an opportunity to subject his pancreas to a qualification test .

Qualification test of PANCREAS

[edit]

On July 8, 2009 associated with his visit to 10 houses between 6pm & 1030pm he consumed nearly a dozen sweet items. Next noon he took a wedding feast lunch. It was sumptuous with four (4) very sweet paayasams (porridge) and three (3) other sweet items in addition to more than a dozen other servings. (That day's breakfast was normal since long wheat mash had already been discontinued long ago, presuming cure.) A blood test after two hours of lunch showed a PPBS level of 100mg%!!

Hindsight

[edit]

1. Had the diet relaxations been not done, the cure would have been faster and complete cure would have occurred much earlier. 2. Had the information about HbA1C test been put to use earlier, misinterpreting low/normal FBS-PPBS values to be the indication of a cure would not have happened. 3. But for the misinterpretation of low FBS-PPBS, the diet relaxation would not have been resorted to.

Anticipation
For patients on tablets or injection (insulin) time required for complete cure can be longer. This is because their treatment will have two phases: 1. Tapering down the medicine dosage to zero. 2. Allowing the system to repair the impaired pancreas (beta cells).

[edit]

Future requirement

[edit]

In order to arrive at more accurate time estimates, co-operation of more volunteers are required. Georgedappilly cannot harness his own body for the simple reason that he is no more a diabetic. Cooperation of diabetic persons who are on tablets or insulin injection for a fairly long period only will help arrive at better time estimates.

The long and emmer wheats

Long wheat

[edit] [edit]

Long wheat is the trade name of a variety of wheat available in the Indian market. It is more than twice as costly as the common wheat (in India). A picture of the long wheat is given in the gallery below. It compares well with the Emmer wheat . A research scholar of Dept. of Botany, University of Kerala Campus, Kariavattom, Trivandrum clarified that the Botanical name of the long wheat is Triticum dicoccon.

Emmer wheat
The Wikipedia says

Emmer wheat belongs to Kingdom: Plantae, Order: Poales, Family: Poaceae, Genus: Triticum, Species: T.dicoccum, Binomial Name: Triticum dicoccum schrank, Synonyms: T.dicoccon, T.turgidum subsp.dicoccon Emmer is a hulled (husked) tetraploid wheat cultivated in mountainous areas. It is famous for making bread good in taste & texture standards. It has more fiber than common wheat.

Some related issues

[edit]

Diabetes India Association (-> open house) in different articles talk about a few related issues. The DIA says "the 1997 WHO report has shown that there is a marked increase in the number of people affected with diabetes and this trend is scheduled to grow in geometric proportions in the next couple of decades". The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (non insulin dependent diabetes, NIDDM) is increasing all over the world. THE DIABETES BOMB...........READY TO EXPLODE . In India the prevalence of diabetes has increased from 5.2% in 1983 to 8.2% in 1989 and 11.6% in 1995. With the rising trend in the prevalence of diabetes, it is estimated that by the year 2000 A.D. the number of diabetic persons in India will be 33 million and the prevalence will be 14.7% in subjects aged 20 years or more. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently acknowledged that India has the maximum number of diabetic patients in any given country in the year 1995 (19 million) and that this would increase to 57 million by the year 2025. India has thus become the "Diabetic Capital of the World". The epidemic of diabetes is so widespread that there would be scarcely be anyone who does not know someone with diabetes.....

My Diabetes has not yet returned

[edit]

Last Wednesday (27.01.2010) I had the regular quarterly health check up. Along with Lipid profile etc, blood sugar also was monitored. Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) was 100 mg%, Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) showed 105 mg% &

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1C) was 6%.

On the way to the consulting room of my physician, I met a friend & his wife. She is diabetic. Just 2 Idlis & a cup of tea took her PPBS to 195 mg% where as 3 Idlis & a full cup of coffee took my PPBS to 105 mg% only! What is happening in my case is entirely different from what many people anticipated &/or told on hearing my declaration of the cure of my diabetes. In spite of taking rice based food thrice daily, coffee/tea with sugar, bakery sweets after lunch frequently (not daily) & 5-6 plantain fruits most of the days for seven (7) months, my diabetes DIDNT RETURN. What most of the visitors of my poster presentation (see albums of day 1 of 3, day 2 of 3 & day 3 of 3) (at the KERALA GRAMAM (Kerala village) exhibition arranged in connection with the 97th Indian Science Congress (ISC2010) at the Kerala University Campus, Kariavattom, Trivandrum) wanted to know was WHAT IS THE GUARANTEE (OR ARE YOU SURE) THAT DIABETES WILL NOT RETURN? My reply was: AT THIS POINT OF TIME WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT IN SPITE OF NORMAL DIET MY DIABETES DID NOT RETURN FOR SIX (6) MONTHS & IF YOU ASK ME AFTER ANOTHER MONTH, I WILL SAY THAT MY DIABETES DID NOT RETURN FOR SEVEN (7) MONTHS. This has come true on Jan 27, 2010. Only after the elapse of one year (5 more months from now), I can make a statement that my diabetes did not return for an year. In order to make a general statement that diabetes will not return for any specific duration, more time, cases & case studies are required. If the present trend continues, that may not happen in the near future for sure. Whom ever I encounter turns out to be unfortunately a pessimist. One of my friends (a blogger reffered as Ankil) was more eager to ascertain that my claim of cure of diabetes is WRONG, than positively responding to my offer for trying to explore the possibility of a cure of HIS OWN DECADES OLD DIABETES. Alas!!! I am reminded of the anecdote of KERALA CRABS.

35 weeks!
Today (Tue, March 9, 2010) I took the monthly blood sugar test (GOD-POD method). It shows FBS 80 mg% & PPBS 95mg%. This marks the successful completion of consecutive 8 months of the victory of my Pancreas over Diabetes! Again Praise The Lord!! But unfortunately even people with decades old diabetes, having progressive & degenerating experience finds disbelieving these results more comfortable.

[edit]

One more month of no return: 39 weeks now!

[edit]

The blood sugar test results of April 10, 2010 confirms that my diabetes has not returned even after 39 weeks of normal diet containing starch & sugar. FBS is 90 mg% and PPBS is 110 mg%. These values are well within limits. My pancreas is still going strong. Jump back to Section 2 - (My diabetes has not yet returned) . File:DiabCureHistoryGraphEasyplot.ppt

Second anniversary special blood test over 24 hours

[edit]

On completion of two years of CURE of my diabetes, a different sequence of blood sugar tests were carried out and the results are given below (thanks to my daughters for the glucometer & camera which made the total process very handy). As is customary, tested FBS to begin with. It was 92 mg/dl at 7:26 AM. Next, tested morning-PPBS at 2 hours of breakfast. It was 136 mg/dl. Noon-PPBS at 2 hours of lunch was 135 mg/dl & night-PPBS at 2 hours of supper was 133 mg/dl at 9:44 PM. Next morning it was felt that one more FBS test would give a completeness to the picture. Hence it was done & got 84 mg/dl at 7:39 AM. This special sequence test re-confirmes the fact that my experiences & findings on Diabetes CURE was & is really REAL since July 2009. It is indeed very heartening to note that my experience and findings of July 2009 gets corroborated by the study results of Dr. Roy Taylor of the prestigeous Newcastle University, UK .

It is felt that ...

No one else has ever accomplished this unique goal of curing Diabetes in human history till July 2009. It was considered to be humanly impossible. Hence it is felt that any one will be justified in opining that this is the Lords doing, It is marvelous in our eyes. . Having conquored Diabetes which is, according to WHO, claiming six (6) lives every minute I wish to take the message and know how to as many victims in as short a time as possible because "no one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works ...". From the responses of a few responsible persons it is felt that they mistook these efforts to be an attempt to infringe upon their territory."Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill." I desire to be a taste-maker like salt to our society. It vanishes itself into other components, improves their qualities & makes the final product tasty. The book named Bible that has the maximum number of copies printed in human history says: "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot" .

Another Breaking news of diabetes cure on June 24, 2011

[edit]

A leading MalayalaM news paper (Malayala Manorama of Kerala - India) of today (25 June 2011) has reported an epoch making finding on curability of diabetes. It obviously is of great interest to User:Georgedappilly along with all the readers of this page and the billions of diabetics world over! A photograph of the news and its English translation are given below.

Translation
Title of the news: Diabetes likely to be cured by low calorie food. Body of the news:

[edit]

London: Researchers of Newcastle University claim that the Type-2 diabetes seen in elders can be completely cured by sticking to low calorie food pattern for two months continuously. What this finding rejects is the thinking that diabetes is a life long disease. The Guardian news paper reported that the experiment was carried out in 11 diabetic patients. Daily they were given food having only 600 calories in the form of vegetables and juices for two months. Medical team subjected these ones to continuous examinations. By one week itself the fasting blood sugar (FBS) reading became normal. It was found out that the extent of Fat in Pancreas was lowered and that the Pancreas was producing Insulin as it was before the onset of diabetes. They were returned to normal diet after two months. It was found in later examinations that 7 patients were completely cured of the disease. This method is not useful for juvenile diabetes. It is the Type-2 of adults that is cured by food regulation. This type of diabetes is caused when Insulin production is impaired by the malfunctioning of liver and pancreas when the fat from the excess food accumulate in them. Prof. Roy Taylor of Newcastle University explained that reinstating the insulin production on melting away the fat accumulated in the pancreas, by following low calorie food pattern is the methodology.

English-language articles
This was also reported in English news sources, including: British docs say they can cure diabetes: How? , CBSNews.com, June 24, 2011 Early Stage Diabetes Reversible With Two Month 600 Calorie Per Day Diet , Medical News Today, 24 Jun 2011 Crash course diet reverses Type-2 diabetes in a week , Telegraph.co.uk, June 24, 2011 Low-calorie diet offers hope of cure for type 2 diabetes , Oneclick.indiatimes.com, June 24, 2011 Very Low-Calorie Diet May Reverse Diabetes , Webmed Diabetes Health Center. Participants reported finding the extremely strict diet difficult, but the results are very positive.

Note that positive effects from exercise and diet have long been known in type-2 diabetes, but these articles suggest that actually curing the condition was not part of conventional medical thinking. Note also that the the study appeared to focus on a particular form of diet. It remains to be studied what the success rates are for other forms of diet (different foods, caloric intake and lengths of time), such as George's diet.

Responses of User:Georgedappilly to various English language articles

[edit]

Comment 1: I am really excited to read this fantastic article because it validates my findings. From 2006 to 2009 I was Diabetic, but NOT afterwards. I am on normal diet afterwards. My experiences and blood-sugar test results are available at http://www.appropedia.org/Diabetes_mellitus_cured .One can reach it by a Google search of LONG WHEAT. It appears in the first page of search results itself. A graphical representation of the results are also provided for ease of understanding. This article seems to be visited by more & more people. I am very much eager to discuss & share my experiences with fellow people for their benefit. E.M.George Comment 2: The claim of complete cure of diabetes in 8 weeks, of the Newcastle University research team appears to be somewhat unrealistic. Based on hands-on-experience of curing own diabetes & trying to cure that of more than 100 others, it is very strongly felt that two months is too short a time to cure diabetes completely. This is explained in detail in the "Pit-falls" section of my Appropedia article . It is indubitable that 2 months is more than sufficient to completely control diabetes, but not to cure.<b> This is told because I have really gone through <b>this phase, as explained in the said section "Pit-falls". 600 calories a day appears to be too low. The diet I followed seems to be much easier, comfortable as well as safer. My diet had much more calories a day. I keep telling my clients that even though the special regimen is simple, it is like swimming, driving or riding a bicycle. One has to learn it under an expert & unfortunately we don't have many experts. First of all one has to assess the initial conditions such as FBS (8 to 14 hours after any food), PPBS (AT 2 hours after a meal), HbA1C (Glycosylated haemoglobin) and if possible Fasting Serum Insulin. Additionally details regarding other illness, medication for management of Diabetes, body weight & height (or BMI value) etc also are to be considered. Me as well as many of my clients feel that it is rather a smooth sail. Even though it took three years for me to cure my diabetes (2006 t0 2009), it would have been cured in much shorter a time, had I not encountered the pit-falls explained in the Appropedia article with the help of a graphical representation of blood sugar values. The mention in another comment that starvation is a cure for all problems is not true. It is felt that strict 600 calorie-a-day veg. diet need not be a necessary & sufficient condition to cure diabetes. Comment 3: In fact the Newcastle research team & their 7 out of 11 volunteers seem to have fallen into the first pit in which I had fallen in early 2006. Nothing to worry. They will recognize it and come out soon! Aaaaand they will reinvent things. Comment 4: See Things In Totality. Compartmentalization & Over-specialization Do Harm, Mostly! posted by E.M.George on 28 Jun 2011 at 6:00 am 600 calories a day is at least impractical (AchsBuster) if not insane (Sonya)! There is an Indian proverb which means anything in excess is bad. So is starving or eating!! I was diabetic, but not now. I am on my usual diet since july 2009. The dreaded diabetes has not returned yet. Even if it returns, I am not afraid. I know how to cure it once again. One need not be on 600 cal a day, or no carb, or no meat diet, or keep running to cure diabetes. One has to know the limits & adhere to it. There is a food substitute mentioned in the ancient Indian medical literature (Aayurveeda) for curing the illness that expels sugar through urine. A judicious use of that grain (Long wheat ) and avoidance of sugar & fruits, moderate control on other food intakes during treatment period is almost sure to cure diabetes. My BMI was less than 21 when I became diabetic. When I was cured of diabetes also my BMI was same. I have very strong hereditary factors in favor of diabetes. Both my parents were diabetic & continued to be so till death. My father died of hypoglycemia in the year 1958. Diabetes is a basic illness, similar to a voltage drop in an electronic or electrical circuit. That problem will adversely affect all related/connected sub-systems. This does not mean that diabetes is incurable. GOOD LUCK ALL DIABETICS WORLD OVER.

Diabetes is CURABLE, but...

[edit]

Diabetes is indubitably curable. Cure is not as fast as Prof. Roy Taylor et al of Newcastle University UK claimed in their paper [1]. The paper was presented at the American Diabetes Association conference on June 24, 2011 and published in Diabetologia (2011) 54:2506-2514. It has 46 References! (The article is also available online with open access (Distributed under the terms of the relative C ommons
Attribution Noncommercial License which permits any noncommercial use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author(s) and source are credited) at Springerlink.com.)

The fact is that the claim of cure of diabetes made in this paper [1] appears to be only partially true. It is vividly brought out in the second paragraph of second column of Diabetologia (2011) 54:2511. That paragraph titled Post-intervention observation says : "At follow-up 12 weeks after completion of the dietary intervention ... ... HbA1c was unchanged (6.0 +/- 0.2 vs 6.2 +/- 0.1% [42 +/- 2 vs 44 +/- 1 mmol/mol]; p=0.10) and fasting plasma glucose increased modestly (5.7 +/- 0.5 vs 6.1 +/- 0.2 mmol/l; p<0.01), with a 2 h OGTT plasma glucose of 10.3 +/- 1.0 mmol/l. Three participants had recurrence of diabetes as judged by a 2 h post-load plasma glucose > 11.1 mmol/l. ... ..." Elsewhere in the article [1] one finds values of "Fasting concentration" of Glucose for different cases and on different days during the course of this research. As these are expressed in "mmol/l" unit, an attempt is made to represent those in "mg/dl" which is more popular among laymen and hence easily comprehensible to common men. They are tabulated below.

Fasting Concentration Controls Baseline Plasma glucose (mmol/l) Serum blood glucose (mg/dl) 5.3 +/0.1 95.5 +/1.8

Week 1

Week 4

Week 8

Comparison of these numbers with their specified limits given in the table below and taking note of the escalation of FBS in spite of "advice on portion size and healthy eating", clearly indicate that the cure is but a temporary phenomena in the case of this research, as explained in the " The pit-falls" section here. CURE is far far away, "long way to go before one can sleep". Concentration Plasma glucose (mmol/l) Serum blood glucose (mg/dl) Fasting lower limit Fasting upper limit 2 hr PP 2 hr OGTT 3.89 70 5.55 100 7.77 140 7.77 140

The fact that 3 out of 7 claimed to be "cured" have already been reverted to diabetes in three months (2 h post-load plasma glucose > 11.1 mmol/l) makes the result statistically non-significant - though NOT insignificant (only 4 out of 11 = 36.36 %). This does not mean or imply that diabetes be incurable. It only means that some more time and effort were required. The Newcastle University team did not complete the LAST MILE and hence missed the goal! Probably the ADA conference date persuaded them to prepare and make a declaration prematurely. Look at my results at ( Lab results from July 2006.).

Results given above show that all the participants of this experiment are at the fag end of the last lap of their race towards recurrence of diabetes by the end of third month of "normal diet" with advice on portion size & healthy eating.

Further

[edit]

Wikipedia in Interpretation of OGTT results says ... FPG should be below 6.1 mmol/l (110 mg/dl). Between 6.1 and 7.0 mmol/l (110 and 125 mg/dl) are "impaired fasting glycaemia", and repeatedly at or above 7.0 mmol/l (126 mg/dl) are diagnostic of diabetes ... It continues: The 2 hour OGTT glucose level should be below 7.8 mmol/l (140 mg/dl). Levels between this and 11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl) indicate "impaired glucose tolerance". Glucose levels above 11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl) at 2 hours confirms a diagnosis of diabetes.

[edit]

I > Impaired, F > Fasting, G > Glucose, D > Diabetes, M > Mellitus In the light of this WHO criteria, it becomes evident that no one of the eleven volunteers of the Newcastle study is in the NORMAL or Impaired Fasting Glycaemia levels. Out of the seven (7) claimed to have been cured, four (4) were reverted to Impaired Glucose Tolerance level (FPG < 7.0 mmol/l & 2hr OGTT > 7.8 mmol/l) and the rest three (3) were in the Confirmed Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus level (2hr OGTT > 11.1 mmol/l).

In brief
To put it in a nutshell, as per the 1999 WHO Diabetes criteria - Interpretation of OGTT Glucose levels the eleven (11) volunteers of the Newcastle University study appears to be cured.
