> Introductions, Announcements, and More of Ray's Teachings

Hello everyone

thewatchman:
Thanks all. Good example of your grandmother. I have diabetes as well and had 2 major leg injuries. I woke up one morning and my left leg wasn't working properly and my left arm and hand is operating at about 40-50%. Lots of spills and dropped stuff. Today I was drinking from a 2 litre diet coke and my left arm spasmed and it shot coke all over my face and front. It feels a little like I'm drunk. Only slight slurring. I am getting assessed by the stroke foundation tomorrow and getting CT scans in the new year. I'm not prone to self-pity and haven't yet. My typing does get mixed yp which is a little frustrating.  I still am sharp. Sharp as a drunk....haha

--- End quote ---

Ray had what his doctor called "runaway diabetes." He could not get his sugar under 300.

Then he found out he had cancer and six months to live. He went on a stick diet and out lived the doctors by four years.

But a side effect was in about one year on the diet he cured his diabetes.

If Ray were alive now and saw that you are drinking diet sodas he would most likely scream at you. Unless you have a death wish, then that's another issue.

Dennis Vogel:
As humans, when we are in pain, be it physical of mental, we want it to stop! So we many times turn to food and/or sex.

For those few minutes when we are eating something pleasurable we are concentrating on the ice-cream (or whatever) and forget our troubles.

Afterwards we feel bad for doing something stupid and it starts again.

Food, sex, and vanity are the death of us all (and I'm not claiming immunity).

Mat 26:41  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

2Ti 3:4  ...lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Craig:
Type 2 Diabetes can in most instances be controlled with diet alone.

Here is a good book
http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Bernsteins-Diabetes-Solution-Achieving/dp/0316182699/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1356012433&sr=1-1&keywords=diabetes+bernstein

I do computer work for a couple of Doctors who follow these guidelines.  One is a general practitioner and the other a heart doctor.  They both tell me if a person can follow the diet guidelines in this book their success rate on no medication diabetes control is over 80% and the other 20% is not following the books guidelines.  The heart doctor also recommends the Atkins diet.

I know if I want to loose weight and get my blood work into a normal healthy range the low carb Atkins diet works for me.

Dennis Vogel:
I made that "death wish" comment because there is a young man from my son's childhood and visits my home once and a while.

He has serious heart problems and advanced diabetes and has several operations. He barely gets around.

I've shown him material that proves he can heal himself by using some self-control.

But nothing changes, he doesn't seem to care. The only thing I can think of is he has a death wish.

Also, I had a close childhood friend. We kept in touch and I would visit him every time I was in the Detroit area.

On one visit I noticed he was not walking normally and asked him about it and he pulled up his pants leg and there was a steel rod instead of his leg. Not long after that he lost his other leg.

A few years later he came home from dialysis, sat in his chair, said "I feel cold" and died. I was in Detroit that day and intended to visit him that evening.

His name was Bob and Bob could not stay away from Pepsi-Cola. He knew it was killing him but he would not stop.

Pepsi has much more sugar than Coke but both are poison IMO.

It's one thing to do these things in ignorance but another when you know the consequences. I don't understand.
