"Kelly, can u eat that??" - THE NUMBER 1 MOST ANNOYING QUESTION EVER.


I know that friends, family and strangers mean well, but it still drives me crazy.
In the old days of boiled needles, SWEETA, & urine testing instead of blood.
The common rule of thumb was that any thing sweet, lets just say chocolate, would equal sugar, which equaled EVIL. We were told to eat an orange or some corn chips instead.
It wasn't about the carbohydrate count & I'm sure some damage was done.

My Dad actually ordered his pasta gravy on the side because he was told by his Dr. that that was where all the sugar was! He could never figure out why he woke up with a high blood sugar the next morning. After all, he only had like a table spoon or two of gravy - CRAZY, I know.

T1 kids were given sugar-free candy in our Easter baskets and Halloween was never as much fun after our initial diagnoses. All things with even a hint of the voodoo sugar were taboo, and cookies at midnight and Snickers bars in our sock drawer became the norm for many of us.

Saccharin was our main condiment. It's aftertaste lingered after almost every meal - especially breakfast. When aspartame came out in the early 80's I was hooked! Yes, I had headaches, and the aftertaste was still there, but it was cutting edge in diabetes cuisine chemistry. I wanted in.

Over the years I've ingested so much artificial sweetener that when I die, my family will get a discount from the mortician. Rumor has it that the stuff turns into formaldehyde if it gets above a certain temp. Even after 15 years of not drinking diet soda - or any soda for that matter, saccharin still runs through my veins. On the bright side and thanks to good genetics ( I know, it's pretty ironic that I actually use the term good genetics,) and the gynormous artificial sweetener intake of my formative years, I look at least 7 years younger than my actual age - or so I've been told! ;)

Thank God times have changed. Carb counting is key, protein is essential, and medical technology has made all diabetics lives easier.

We can now enjoy the occasional ice cream on a hot summer night, and have cream & sugar in our coffee. Of course we have to eat healthy and workout. But I digress.

The masses have not kept up with the times and they continually offend on a daily basis.

I just want to tell them to get a clue, mind their own business, and take inventory of their own carb intake instead of constantly questioning mine.

Instead, I make a joke and spread the carbo counting/bolus gospel according to Kelly, as taught to her by her Diabetes Educator Cheryl. Old habits die hard & the annoying question will continually be asked. I just have to deal with it. Life is sweet.....and so is this Reese's Peanut Butter Cup I'm about to eat. And yes, I've counted the carbs & bolused for it. Oh, and my blood sugar was 78. SNAP.

Could this be an outbreak of (very welcome) honesty within the BBC News service? Hitherto, their reporting of health issues has been lamentable, apparently only willing to publish the 'good' or 'positive' news about pharmaceutical drugs, and quite unwilling to tell its listeners, viewers and readers, any of the 'bad' or 'negative' news.

This morning, on its Today programme, the BBC reported that a BMJ (British Medical Journal) editorial had attacked the 'long-existing habit of the pharmaceutical and science community' to publish only selectively (that is, the good bits) about the clinical trials on new drugs. This, by itself, is an amazingly refreshing outbreak of honesty from the Conventional Medical Establishment! But to listen how the BBC dealt with this, listen to the broadcast at:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9671000/9671074.stm

You will hear in the short clip that two examples are given of this Big Pharma practice, which has been going on for decades, largely without comment or concern from the BBC, or indeed, the mainstream media generally:

1. Tamiflu - about which Roche has apparently been refusing to publish data, and
2. Vioxx - where evidence about its link to heart attacks has been suppressed by the drug company.

Apparently, the BBC asked the drug companies to comment - but they declined! However, Professor Colin Blakemore said, presumably in their defence:

What journal will publish boring results?

Indeed, he appeared to assume that the public only wanted to hear the 'good' news, and certainly for as long as I can remember, this is all the BBC has wanted to report too.

Blakemore, perhaps mirroring the attitude of the entire conventional medical establishment, appears to have been more concerned about the need to 'entertain us' rather than ensuring, and safeguarding, the health of patients!

However, despite this unusual but welcome display of BBC honesty, it is also clear that they did not know how to ask searching and relevant questions on the issue. Indeed, they did not appear to recognise the importance to us all of this issue.

* How many pharmaceutical companies are failing to publish the full evidence about their drugs?

* On what basis are Big Pharma companies allowed to withhold important clinical information? Is this being done in order to sell more drugs? And if so, can this be in the interests of the health of patients?

* Are the Drug Companies being held fully accountable for any consequences to patients of the drugs they manufacture and sell? (Drug companies are being sued in the USA for the damage they cause patients, but not, it would seem, in this country).

* How many pharmaceutical drugs, and indeed which ones, are currently being prescribed without the full clinical information being known to medical personal and patients?

* How many patients are at this moment taking pharmaceutical drugs about which full information remains unknown? And what action will now be taken by the medical authorities to obtain this information?

* How long has the government, the NHS, and MHRA been aware of the practice? If the medical establishment has known about it, why has nothing been done? And if it did not know, is there a need to re-examine the basis on which pharmaceutical drugs been sanctioned, approved and prescribed to patients?

* Are local doctors and GPs aware of this practice? Are they, indeed can they be, fully aware of the impact any drug has on their patients?

Clearly, the BBC are more adept at criticising and attacking those people who are aware of the dangers of Big Pharma drugs, and who are looking for 'non-drug alternatives' to the medicine being offered to us within the current NHS-ConMed monopoly.

Research has shown that the radiation from CT scans is so great children who have them run a far higher risk of developing cancer - for 58 years, or even more. The scans emit ionising radiation, which is a known carcinogen.

'What doctors don't tell you' say that around 1 million CT scans are performed on children aged 5 years or younger every year in the USA - often for diagnosing cancer!

Now, has any doctor told you this? And if not, why not?

It would appear that it is not just ConMed drugs that are causing disease, and killing us.

I reproduce this email (sent to a homeopathy website) to demonstrate something that I remember well, as a former homeopathy denier (skeptic) - the joy of discovering how powerful homeopathy is as a healing medical therapy.

I am very excited to tell you about the *miracle of homeopathy.*
My mother who was diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis. R.A factor positive 5
years ago. Since Then she was on following medicines of Allopathic in
nature.

1: Methotrexate a DMARD ( Disease modifying antireheumatic Drug) for 3
years.
2: Later on she was given Leflunamide as DMARD.
3: Naproxen Sodium 500 mg B.D for severe pain from (NSAID Group).
4: Omeprazole to prevent drug induced ulcer.
5: Cetrizine for her allergies
6: Ecitalopram for depression.
7: Glucosamine and chondriton sulphate for joint supplementation.

But still she had severe pain in her wrist, elbow, knee, shoulder joints
especially early in the morning and night aggravated by cold and some how
ameliorated by motion. Although she was massaged twice a day but all in
vain. She also had dry cough at night and day time and had stomach problems.

Just to control her joint pains i studied and worked on various materia
medicas and reached to *Bryonia *and *Rhus Toxicodenderon.* I finally
selected *Rhus Toxidenderon 6 C* to give her*.* Last night i gave her 5
drops of Rhus Tox 6c in a teaspoonful of water. Today she again took the
same dose three times a day. Just now my sister called me with amazement
that mother had very less pain today and she also didnot take massage. she
was quite fine and extremely surprised about those miracleous drops.
Wow, I am very happy and dont know what to do next?
Your kind views will highly be appreciated.
Thanks

Clearly, Noor is studying homeopathy, so his discovery of homeopathy must have happened earlier. But here he speaks of the joy of being able to treat other people of conditions for which ConMed has no successful long-term answer.

Homeopathy denialists believe that their attacks on homeopathy will do harm to us. Little do they know that this kind of experience that will forever ensure that homeopathy lives on! Let them do their worst. Homeopathy will survive for two reasons. The most important is that it actually works! The other reason is that people are beginning to realise that drug-based medicine is failing. This case demonstrates both.

So thanks, Noor, for reminding me of the joys of discovering homeopathy. And long may you continue to cure people of their ailments using this wonderful therapy.
