"Diabetesalicious Lite"- Totally Short & Some What Sweet. And Ironically - Bolus Worthy To Boot~
Happy Friday- I'M SO GLAD IT'S HERE!!!!

Today's post is totally "Diabetesalicious Lite"- totally short, some what sweet, and ironically, a bit bolus worthy too boot~ ;)

First: Please check out a post I wrote Called: "A Love Story Amongst The Islets of Langerhans" over at ACT1Diabetes. Let's just say it's a love story from a "pancre-o-logical" point of view.

ACT1Diabetes is a fantastic org for adult Type 1's and I was all types of happy when they asked me to write a post for them- take a look, I think you'll like it!!

Craving a Starbucks drink but not sure of the carb count? No worries, because it's no longer an issue.

When I stopped by my local Starbucks on Monday- I was craving a hot chocolate, BIG TIME.
But I was worried about the carb count and almost didn't order one. Then the Barrista pointed me in the direction of a handy-dandy little handout that Starbucks has at all their locations titled: Nutrition By The Cup.

It's awesome! Everything you need to know about every single solitary drink that Starbucks has to offer is in there. Including; All fat cholesterol; sodium, carb, calories, fiber, sugar, vitamin & caffeine information. I absolutely enjoyed my 2% Short Hot Chocolate & it's 26 grams of carb/chocolate goodness!

Like I said, this post is totally short and sweet - and BOLUS WORTHY!

The homeopathy denialists, and a 'mass overdose'

The homeopathy denialists, and a 'mass overdose'
There is to be an anti-homeopathy demonstration outside several Boots stores on Saturday (30th January). They are trying to prove that homeopathic remedies don't do anything, regardless of how much you take. This blog is based on a press release I sent to all mainstream news media outlets on behalf of the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths today.

"Homeopathic remedies are safe to take. You cannot ‘overdose’ on them. The demonstration by a small group of anti-homeopathy skeptics, perhaps more accurately described as ‘homeopathy denialists’, will have proved this point quite conclusively.

It is a pity the denialists know so little about the system of medicine they seek to denigrate. Whilst understanding they speak for the Pharmaceutical Drugs industry, any homeopath could have told them that homeopathy works only when there is a close similarity between the symptoms of the patient’s illness, and the known therapeutics of a particular homeopathic remedy.

If there is no match there will be no reaction.

The real question that needs to be addressed is not the safety of homeopathy, but why homeopathy is such an effective medical therapy, and why so many people throughout the world, and for over two centuries now, have used it with such success.

There are numerous high quality scientific studies that clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of homeopathy. The challenge facing the bona- fide scientific community is to discover why homeopathy is so effective.
