Insulin Resistance and Diabetes 2

This is very interesting! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/oct/24/spectacular-diabetes-treatment-could-end-daily-insulin-injections

So many falsehoods

Did you read about the impact of heat on the lower intestine?

(Ethan) #4

Oh, the treatment is fascinating. The description of the disease is all wrong though.

(Running from stupidity) #5

The Guardian is the Fox News of the left. (Just so we’re clear, I can’t stand either of them.)

(Ethan) #6

Also missing is the actual study and it’s data. The article says the disease was stable, but doesn’t define what that means. Does it mean insulin resistance was gone? Or does it mean it didn’t progress anymore?

If it helps repair them, they’ll just get back where they were eating carbage. Doesn’t sound promising to me.

There’s some interesting stuff there.

From the researcher’s statement, it looks like they MIGHT have been trying to find something that mimicked the effects of gastric bypass - I could be wrong, because the statement in the Guardian is incomplete.

Still, I’m interested if people can, you know, EAT after this happens. Or if this is because they end up fasting.

Or, vice versa, whether fasting causes some kind of autophagy that recycles the mucus membrane.

Interresting

It looks like the a1c stayed in the diabetic range. This does not look like sure, but perhaps just a useful bit of information part of the treatment. Noticed that the A1 C stayed about 7.5.

(Justin Jordan) #12

Yep.

That said, a drop from 8.5 to 7.5 or so isn’t nothing. I mean, it’s not actually going to help the diabetes all that much, but if you combined it with halfway sensible eating (which I am guessing this didn’t) it’s interesting.

I’m more interested in the heat aspect of it, and being able to produce a new mucus membrane in the lower intestine. Wondering if sipping on hot water rather than cold water could be beneficial for insulin resistance?

I think it is one important principals of the Ayurveda

In China all the drinking water fountains in the public are worm water.

@Alpha

Holy cow, from your post, I just had a flashback to the movie DUNE, where they drank the water of life or whatever they called it that giant worms secreted and it kills 99.99% of people who try but those who can and live get super powers. LoL.

Good bacteria vs. bad bacteria.

(Omar) #16

Haha

I meant warm not worm

Spell check says ok bit does not tell me the meaning :blush:

(Ethan) #17

By the time it is down there, it’s body temperature

#18

Yeah, wouldn’t work anyway as the stomach absorbs it before it can reach any further. Wondering hot water bottle on the belly lol
