<p align="left"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>My diet has really gone to hell</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> over the past few weeks because of my reaction to this whole "E<a title="The Wiki definition..." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_Movement_Desensitization_and_Reprocessing" target="_blank">MD</a>R" experience... and it's just happenstance but changing medications just before starting off on a light jaunt through my most si<a title="...Because My Core Issue Has Finally Taken The Stage" href="http://saltedlithium.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/core-issues/" target="_blank">gnificant clinical depressio</a>ns was probably not the smartest plan I've ever had.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>As a</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> result of the latter I'm pretty sure I'm going back on the Seroquel in November. My extremely high blood sugar counts, which were almost cut in half this past Spring by the Glyburide, have remained the same since stopping the Seroquel a week ago. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>Because one</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> of it's rarer side effects is actually type-2 diabetes, the plan to stop taking the Seroquel had been in the works for the five months since I was diagnosed with diabetes. We were just deciding on something suitable as a replacement of sorts... but I missed two of my twice-monthly appointments and my psychiatrist took his vacation, so it only happened recently.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>I'm using</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> 15mgs of Remeron RD (tastes like lemon) as a sleep aid and I'm willing to give it another few weeks, but not having the Seroquel to help me sleep at night has meant my sleep quality has basically gone back to my pre-recovery days. Unlike those days I can get to sleep fairly easily, but it's not steady and it's not restful.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>I don't</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> think we actually started both the switch and the EMDR during the same appointment, but once I showed a willingness to talk about certain aspects of my clinical depressions my psychiatrist broke out the headphones and we ran with the EMDR whether the switch had happened or was about to.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>It's an</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> interesting catch-22. The clinical depressions which I haven't dealt with at all -- ever -- are keeping me from taking care of myself. Not "better care", just a basic level of "care". </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>For example,</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> I've been procrastinating forever to substantially change my diet to reflect my diagnosis as having type-2 diabetes. I've been lying to myself for months now, like how I won't eat dessert at my parents' Sunday dinners, but I'll eat a chocolate bar everyday. Or how I won't drink Pepsi but Diet Pepsi is okay, and Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi is an even bigger lie because I'm still drinking two to three Litres of aspartame every day.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>And it</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> has been two to three Litres a day... there's four Litres in a gallon. And instead of having meals mixed with different foods I'm still frying up three large sausages for a midnight supper.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>But starting</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> to deal with those issues, even if it's as simple as thinking about events while holding blinking lights and wearing headphones, has left me vulnerable to attacks from myself from having never dealt with those issues.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>Like how</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> I've gained ten pounds in the month since the first EMDR appointment from drinking regular pop instead of diet and 2% milk instead of 1%. Then there was all the extra chocolate and the chips and ice cream and Sunday dessert and blah and blah. Since the appointment, since really looking at the events I've never dealt with, I have just absolutely given up on myself.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>The weekend</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> after the first EMDR appointment two weeks ago would have been the time when, if I were an alcoholic, I would've walked into a convenience store to buy some bottles of Listerine and grape pop. But I'm not an addict so I looked at my medications and thought "this would be so much easier to deal with if I brought the manic depression back.".</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>But I</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> took the pills.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>And the</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> most important thing is I haven't been suicidal. I've punished myself, I've abused the inside of my body more in the past few weeks than I have since I stopped binge drinking, but I have not thought suicide would be better than living.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>I have</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> had no fantasies of people mourning at my funeral. These are the most emotional, most complicated and most damaging aspects of my clinical depressions coming forward for the first time, and I feel like I'm reacting somewhat normally.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>Talking to</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> my psychiatrist this past Friday about what I had done to myself between appointments made me think about what was going on... kind of like connecting the dots. But then I got home and over the next eight hours I drank sixteen Litres of Diet Pepsi (four gallons).</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>And it</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> was the gallons of Diet Pepsi that woke me up to the damage I was doing. Early Saturday morning, as I was using the last of the pop to take my bedtime doses of Glyburide, Remeron and my Lithium, that was when I... I guess I came to a conclusion.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>It seems</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> so small, but when I woke up yesterday I threw out the last bits of unhealthy food from my fridge, and since then I've cooked proper diabetes-fighting meals and only had two small cans of diet pop.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>It seems</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> so small... I've cooked some meals. I've eaten fruit. I haven't had any pop. Compared with what's coming it just feels so small.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>And there</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> is so much to do and so many things to work out... and I've started and stopped eating healthy so many times, and there's still the confused matter of how my broken sleeping patterns effect my diabetes and how I'm reacting to the recent assaults coming from the natural clinical depressions.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>And most</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> of it scares me, especially because I don't know how I'm going to react to any of this. Watching the hockey game last night the announcer talked about how one young player moved like his father. I am not sentimental but I nearly lost it... and breaking down, which is something I will do soon, is something I have no experience with. None. The last time I cried I was eleven-years old.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>And breaking</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> down at this point feels like I'd be doing it without knowing why, or in reaction to the wrong thing... I don't know.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:arial;color:#000000;"><strong>I don't</strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:times new roman;color:#808080;"> know what I'm doing anymore... I've never had any experience with this. I think I need some really good sleep.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>Laihduttaminen alkaa olla läntisessä maailmassa todella suuren ihmisryhmän haaste. Diabetes lisääntyy, vaikka kuinka olisimme vähärasvaisella ruokavaliolla. Kaupat tursuavat kevyttuotteita laidasta laitaan. Jotain on siis pielessä ja melko pahasti. Ihmiset ovat liikuntaharrastuksen suhteen jakautumassa kahteen eri ryhmään. On ne, jotka ovat innokkaita ja harrastavat liikuntaa useina päivinä viikossa. Sitten on ryhmä joka tekee istumatyötä, ja työpäivän jälkeen he surffailevat netissä ja tv-kanavilla. Väittäisin, että ihminen joka ei harrasta liikuntaa, ei tarvitse hiilihydraattia puoliakaan siitä mitä viralliset ravintosuositukset ja lautasmallit suosittelevat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hiilihydraatin syöminen saa aikaan kehon insuliinitason nousun. Tämä taas on keholle merkki ryhtyä varastointitoimenpiteisiin, jolloin rasvaa varastoituu rasvasoluihin. Jos ravinnossa on proteiinia, samalla varastoituu myös proteiinia.  Eli lihasmassa, joka edesauttaa rasvan palamista energiaksi, saa tässä mahdollisuuden myös kasvaa. Jos taas proteiinia ei ole, tai sitä on liian vähän,  varastoituu ainoastaan rasvaa rasvasoluihin  sekä hiilihydraattia glykogeenin muodossa lihaksiin. Verensokeri laskee nopeammin proteiiniköyhällä ravinnolla ja kohta keho huutaa taas ruokaa. Sitten ihmetellään, "mikä kumma on, kun taas on nälkä?" Lisäksi lihaksia saattaa jopa heikottaa koska ne eivät ole saaneet haluamaansa ravintoa. Proteiinien ja hiilihydraattien suhde on monella ruokavaliossaan pielessä. <a href="http://kehonrakennus.fi" target="_blank">Kehonrakentajien</a> keinot "polta rasvaa, ravitse lihaksia" olisi kaikkien ihmisten syytä ottaa tosissaan.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FBS today 247 and when taken again, 231. I took my meds and went outside and did some sweeping, walking, and general movement. I had breakfast and an hour later, it's 275.</p>
<p>What's changed - Ate too many white powder doughnuts last night. Smoked a smidgen of pot last night. Woke up around 5 with gastric distress and got up and did go #2, but was able to go back to sleep. I slept okay. I didn't have any odd dreams, but was a touch uncomfortable due to the stomach stuff. I didn't feel weird when I woke up. I was definitely alarmed when I saw the FBS.</p>
<p>The rise in BS after breakfast is not an odd occurrence recently, but I still don't like being this high. I'm going to go do some more exercise and housework rather than sit here. My first work shift is over, so I should be fine. </p>
<p>3 p.m. Before lunch number was 119. Better. Not 100% great, but much better.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="" align="alignright" width="249" caption="We are losing the battle for nutrition (Photo from the National Obesity Forum, UK)"]<a href="http://fusions.wordpress.com/2007/11/17/children-and-obesity/"><img title="obesity" src="http://fusions.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/national-obesity-forum1.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="353" /></a>[/caption]
<p><strong>Food corporations are screwing us.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>We can't achieve perfect health</strong>, and I'm really not recommending you become so scrupulous with your diet that your quality of life is diminished in any way.  People have immune and detoxification systems for a reason; we can handle a lot of the garbage that gets thrown our way.  People live long, fulfilling and often extremely health lives while eating tons of garbage they shouldn't.</p>
<p><strong>So why should you care? </strong> I chose a strong name for this site intentionally, but the fact is, food is inanimate.  It may cause death, but food cannot kill.</p>
<p>But there are people out there influencing what foods make it to your plate, from advertisers to politicians to lobbyists to executives and board members and shareholders of food corporations. <strong> These people have been proven again and again to be harming consumers for profit</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://foodkills.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/whats-the-deal-with-peanut-butter/">I talked to you</a> about the <strong>lies on your food label regarding trans fat</strong>, wherein companies may advertise "0% trans fat per serving" when hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils are right there on the ingredients list.</p>
<p>I also <a href="http://foodkills.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/sugar-high-fructose-corn-syrup-and-your-health/">mentioned</a><!--more--> the <a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19960505/ai_n14044210">cement dust</a> and other <strong>industrial byproducts used in farm animal feed</strong>, fattening animals up while loading them with toxins.</p>
<p>What's your opinion of <strong>high fructose corn syrup <a href="http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=YE5aSUcU3YA">ads</a></strong>, which make it seem like large amounts of sugar in your spaghetti sauce and whole wheat bread (let alone ketchup and candy bars) is totally normal?</p>
<p>Thankfully, the <strong>plastic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A">BPA</a></strong> was recently <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/BPA.html">exposed</a> as a dangerous carcinogen, despite its prevalence (this plastic is being phased out of water bottles, soda and soup cans, and even <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/024000.html">baby bottles</a>).  Dow Chemical Company spent millions of dollars in <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/10/11/what-the-chemical-industry-doesn-t-want-you-to-know-about-everyday-products.aspx?source=nl">an unsuccessful campaign to prevent great research</a> about this from coming to light.</p>
<p>Currently, around <strong><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/shpps/2006/factsheets/pdf/FS_Nutrition_SHPPS2006.pdf">25%</a> of American high schools offer fast food </strong>from major chains like taco bell and pizza hut.</p>
<p>In many of the poorest neighborhoods in America, with some of the highest rates of obesity and diabetes, basically the <strong><a href="http://www.cfah.org/hbns/news/obesity09-10-04.cfm">only restaurants are fast food</a></strong>.  Grocery stores and <a href="http://news.newamericamedia.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=aa75b587a95eb1cfda95eb2afd602d3e">access to fresh produce</a> is often missing entirely.</p>
<p>What about <strong>marketing to children</strong>?  American children see 40,000, yes <a href="http://modernchild.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/advertising-and-todays-child/">40,000</a>, advertisements on TV every year, and more than half of them are about food. Did you ever see a cartoon character slinging bananas?  What about a cucumber company teaming up and advertising together with the latest superhero movie?  How about education about organic produce?  The fact is, food corporations market so much to children because children don't know any better.  And with such a high sugar diet, lacking real food and balanced meals, it's no surprise that <a href="http://www.plastic.com/article.html?sid=03/05/25/03181082">20 to 25% of American boys are on Ritalin</a>.</p>
<p>Look at <strong>the health of young people </strong>in the Western world today.  Around <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/obesity/index.htm">18% </a>of 6-19 year olds are obese, and that number is on the rise.  <a href="http://defeatdiabetes.org/Articles/prediabetes021106.htm">One third</a> will be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within their lifetime. Shockingly, more and more are being <a href="http://www.annecollins.com/obesity/statistics-obesity.htm">diagnosed as children</a>.  <a href="http://mediacow.tv/node/123">One half</a> with develop cancer. People under the age of 45 are increasingly <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article3428002.ece">at risk for heart attacks</a>.  This is all saddening and tragic.  There is nothing listed above that is not preventable.</p>
<p>All this, and I haven't even talked about <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/01/this-company-may-be-the-biggest-threat-to-your-future-health.aspx?source=nl">Monsanto</a>.  Really, <strong>I'm only scratching the surface</strong>,<strong> </strong>folks.  Take a look around; things are not all right.</p>
<p><strong>Food corporations don't give a damn about us</strong> unless our concerns mess with their bottom line.  But out of all the money spent on food, around <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2006/04/11/stay-away-from-frozen-foods.aspx">90%</a> goes to processed garbage foods.</p>
<p><strong>I'm advocating personal responsibility for public health. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Take care everybody, comments are appreciated.</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[One minute they conspire in annihilating someone in order to seize control of property so the water ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">One minute they conspire in annihilating someone in order to seize control of property so the water system can be altered - the next minute they want (and expect) help and sympathy when things go wrong or backfire.  </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">Example:  My next-door-neighbors were recruited to serve as "credible witnesses" that nothing took place, should the group behind the secret altering of the city water system be caught.  That entailed poisoning and elimination of my family, followed by major reconstruction to our properties.  I was included in the plans for elimination - it was an accident I got away.  (At least temporarily.)  My family was not the only one destroyed - this woman next door lost her husband.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#000080;font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;">I recently wrote a blog that included "predictions" or "premonitions" or whatever one might call them - it was my Halloween tribute to Mayor Alan Autry for his help in covering up the heinous and barbaric atrocities taking place throughout Fresno. ===&#62;</span> </span><a href="http://missmarla.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/careful-mayor-autry-ghosts-are-real/"><span style="font-size:medium;color:#0000ff;">http://missmarla.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/careful-mayor-autry-ghosts-are-real/</span></a><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">Since this current blog pertains to my next-door-neighbor (who was included in above "predictions"), I thought I would include 2 more "premonitions" that pertained this same neighbor (as evidence that I am not making anything up.)  Should they ever read this, they might one day come to realize that we were all victims of the same nightmare.  </span></div>
<blockquote>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">One day I saw my neighbor's sister outside.  I stopped to tell her that for some reason I could not get her sister's late husband out of my mind - the feeling was so strong, as though he was right here.  She told me it was the 3rd anniversary of his death.  He WAS there.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">After the death of my neighbor's husband, the grandchildren used to visit his widow every day, playing outside.  I told her that going near the area where the raw sewage flooded their yard was dangerous, it could lead to serious health problems and possible death.  Actually, it never occurred to me, nonetheless I never told the widow that the message had come from her late husband.  The children stopped coming to play.  (I later learned that the toxic soil was causing my recurring foot cellulitis.)</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">Flashback to the year 1997 when the first sewage back spill occurred.  The widow would find that this coincides with her husband's declining health.  Loss of employment as hepatitis took over.  There are a lot of online articles stating how this is very common when exposed to raw sewage.  </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">That was/is the difference between my neighbors and me.  While my neighbors conspired in wiping me out, the risk analyst (or records) would verify that because of my concern about the raw sewage that flooded my neighbor's yard as well as other yards down the alley, I refused to sign her "release for clean-up."  I felt that my neighbors were entitled to be informed and that something needed to be done about the obvious threat to lives.  The risk analyst merely said, "Not my problem."  For 2 days my belongings sat in raw sewage.  I was a care provider at the time - I had no alternative but to sign as this was jeopardizing our lives. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"></p>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">Flashback to the year 2000 when JCW repeatedly talked of foot amputation - not only did he have a list of names, he predicted my neighbor's foot amputation 1 yr in advance.  This is when several more sewage back spills took place - more than on record with the city.  It turns out that diabetics are more susceptible to staph and other disease-carrying organisms that breed in raw sewage.  My neighbor was diabetic.  As JCW predicted, my neighbor's foot was amputated; he died at age 50.  </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">The widow still believes that these people are her friends.  Because she got a new central heating/air unit (at the same time our brand new one was stolen/switched with trash?)  Because she and her entourage were invited to steal?  To this day, she continues to serve as one of the "credible witnesses" that the major reconstruction that accompanied unauthorized altering of the city water system did not take place.  Her entire family was recruited to help annihilate my family.  For instance, for 20 yrs I never knew that this woman worked with WGS's wife.  My neighbor's sister, who lives on the other side of her is listed in public records with the same address as one of my nightmare tenants who caused so much hell and filed fraudulent lawsuits while threatening to own.  Their brother used to live in the next house.  Their parents live at the end of the block, where their garage was rebuilt, extending into the alley in order to make it appear the alley was always this narrow, as utility poles were relocated, etc.  (Explained in earlier blogs.)</span></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">The widow continues to claim that nothing ever took place.  (City sewer layout verifies the truth.)  But something did take place.  She unknowingly traded her husband for monetary gain.  She left their children without a father; her grandchildren were left without a grandfather.  And now she is finding difficulty in making her house payments.   Where are her friends who helped put her in this position?  The truth is that she served her purpose - this works on a "rotation system."  Her life is just as insignificant to her "friends" as anyone else's is.  </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">I can still feel her late husband's presence.  He is never far away - with great love, he is watching over all of them.  But he is not resting in peace.  His widow is not only refusing to acknowledge the truth about his death, she is putting their other family members in great danger by continuing to participate in such a heinous operation.  Not only because this works on a "rotation system" where people like this are later eliminated, or teaching them to destroy lives and take what others worked lifetimes for, but imagine the health consequences she is subjecting her family to.  Raw sewage is deadly - not only by contact but the organisms / pathogens are waterborne and airborne, some of which can be inhaled and spread by simply coughing, talking, etc.  </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">As for me, I have a long-overdue message for the widow.  May you someday ask Barry why he invited your husband (who had not touched a drink in many years) to my house to have a drink when you went out of town.  I was/am not the only person being monitored - it was planned.  Ask Barry what he put in that bottle of Vodka, which caused your husband and I to behave so crazy.  No, there was no sex or even close - just insanity.  Giving you more reason for retaliation/revenge.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">These people are no more her friends than they were ever mine.  After they finish me off, with or without this woman and her family's continued help, they will all learn that.  Turning people against one another and severing ties only serves those at the core of this operation.  May she learn that before she loses / destroys more family members.  </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Note:  Her mother died this year of lung cancer.  I do not know if this is something that runs in their family, but I did read that in some cases, lung/respiratory cancer are linked to raw sewage.</span>  </span></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I failed to mention another point made in your Board of Education Rulebook.</p>
<p>PART “D” (in the same section) states, “Faculty organization may make private arrangements for soft drink vending machines in faculty rooms, provided that these machines are inaccessible to students.”</p>
<p>Why then, if we are so concerned about obesity and diabetes in our country, don't we take into consideration our adult population as well?  Faculty are a part of our “school system,” so why is The Law making exceptions for some?  Unfair.</p>
<p>No?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tuesday I went to the Endo and I had a lovely visit with Wesley.  I was a little jealous because he was able to hook his Onmipod pathfinder software up and it actually worked.  The software isn't that bad; if you can get to work.  I was able to see my trends which weren't too bad but I noticed after my evening meals,  I have been pretty high (140-180).  I understand why, it's a little hard for me to measure home cooked meals.  Wesley changed my inulin to carb ratio to 1:12 after 4pm to help me out a lot.  I also decided to go back to my old dinner ways, i.e. 20-30 carbs.  I can control dinner a lot better by eating that way. Honestly I need to invest in getting a scale.  I asked Wesley how did I gain weight. His reply was "Your body back to normal and you aren't peeing everything out. You have to watch what you eat and exercise, just like a normal person.  Cherise 7lbs isn't that bad." I agreed but I let him know I wanted to shed about 5 of those pounds, my clothes are getting to be a little tight...lol I guess I can't blame the insulin anymore...</p>
<p>Wesley also talked to me about getting a CGM. I let him know I was interested but I wanted to wait until the system was available w/ the Omnipod.  I let him know it wouldn't make sense to get it now; even though I would love to have one. I let him know it probably won't be easy to get Tricare to approve it but we can cross that bridge in 2009; hopefully when the CGM is available for the OmniPod.   </p>
<p>He did my lab slip! he wants to check my Vitamin D level; a person with dark skin can be lacking it.  He also did a CBC, thyroid check and A1C test.  I warned him that my A1C might have went up since June (6.3).  I will not be upset with myself if it did because it's honestly may fault:) I hate admitting when I did something wrong...lol</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los niños nacidos por cesárea tienen <strong>un 20% más de probabilidad de desarrollar diabetes tipo 1</strong> que los nacidos mediante parto vaginal.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><a href="http://jesed.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/diabetes.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-768 alignright" title="diabetes" src="http://jesed.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/diabetes.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="359" /></a>Para llegar a esta conclusión científicos de la Queen’s University de Belfast han hecho una revisión de 20 estudios que incluyen cerca de 10.000 casos de niños con esta enfermedad y más de un millón como grupo control.</p>
<p>Para evitar la duda de una posible influencia de otros factores de riesgo descartaron el peso al nacer, la edad materna, el orden de nacimiento, la diabetes gestacional y el tipo de alimentación.</p>
<p>El motivo de la revisión es la búsqueda de las causas que expliquen el aumento de casos de niños con diabetes tipo 1 que, según los autores, han evolucionado en paralelo al aumento de nacimientos por cesárea.</p>
<p>Centrándonos en nuestro país, España, en los últimos diez años los casos de diabetes tipo 1 han aumentando entre un 15% y un 30% y las cesáreas han pasado de un 18,2% a un 25′2%, <strong>lejos del 15% que la OMS considera aceptable.</strong></p>
<p><a name="more" target="_blank"></a><br />
Una posible explicación sería la ofrecida por Chris Patterson:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote><p>La diabetes tipo 1 ocurre cuando el sistema inmunológico destruye las células productoras de insulina del páncreas. Una hipótesis sugiere que nacer por cesárea puede afectar al desarrollo del sistema inmune porque los bebés se exponen antes a las bacterias del ambiente en el hospital que a las bacterias maternas.</p></blockquote>
<p>Los investigadores añaden que es preciso realizar estudios específicos para conocer el mecanismo biológico que podría explicar la relación entre cesárea y diabetes.</p>
<p>Hasta que se aclare esta relación comentan que no tiene sentido eludir una cesárea para evitar el riesgo de diabetes tipo 1 aunque sí deberían limitarse aquellos <strong>en que la intervención no es estrictamente necesaria. </strong>Diversos estudios realizados en países occidentales confirman que muchos partos acaban por cesárea por razones de organización o comodidad.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saturday, October 11</p>
<p>What fun!! And for an extremely good cause.</p>
<p>I didn't want to oversleep so I actually only catnapped last night. I could have used my alarm clock but I haven't set it for nearly 2 years.. since I retired.  So I tossed and turned, LOL, instead.  Up at 6am, showered, packed important items (insurance card, emergency phone numbers, small amount of cash) in an around the neck type card holder wallet thingy. Took extra caution with my feet, putting a bandaid on the back of my problem heal. Dressed in warm sweatlike pants and top and headed out at 7:15am.  Sign in started at 7:30 and the walk started at 8:30am.</p>
<p>The organizers deserve a "well done" for a super organized event. EVERYTHING went smoothly. From the short time spent at the sign-in table, to the clearly marked signs throughout the Detroit Zoo to controlling the flow of handouts of sponsor freebies. </p>
<p>Speaking of freebies... there were so many, too many to mention. In addition to healthy snacks, several companies provided diabetes-related products. I collected two bags full of stuff. One for me and one for hubby, who wasn't able to walk with me... next time, he said.</p>
<p>There were people of all ages participating. From cute babies to some folks, I am guessing, older than me.  My eyeballs were taking it all in. People watching. A group dressed in witch costumes were delightful as were a group of sliders, at least I think that was what their t-shirts read. Or maybe it was gliders. They walked with those stick thingys that look like ski poles.  Kind of neat how they walked synchronized. Must have been walking together for some time.</p>
<p>Before and after the walk, we relaxed under a huge white tent. A DJ from one of the local radio stations entertained and encouraged people to dance. And boy did they. A favorite. Line dancing. I knew the steps but was too chicken to strut my stuff in front of strangers. :D</p>
<p>I have to tell you, I was proud of walking the full 2 miles without stopping to rest. I started off slow, picked up some speed, then slow again. I stayed in the middle of the pack the whole way.  The zoo animals were an added attraction though I just glanced at them as I walked.  I saw a tiger, lion, family of kangaroos, monkeys plus lots of other animals I can't remember now.</p>
<p>I checked my feet after returning home and again several hours ago. No blisters. Yippee!! I didn't wear socks, just knee highs.  So I hope they will provide a little bit of protection when do more walking. I just HATE socks!!</p>
<p>In all, I walked 3 miles today. Don't tell my foot doctor!!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border:medium none;margin-left:4.8pt;text-align:justify;padding:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;">Are versions and variants applicable only to software and other products?? The answer is a big NO. A new version of diabetes, diabetes type 1.5, is in Chennai now. It is also called LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults). Earlier, there were only two types of diabetes; type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is mostly seen in children and Type 2 diabetes is seen in adults over 30 years of age. Now what is so special in diabetes Type 1.5?<span> </span><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->Type 1.5 affects both the children as well as adults. Doctors say that the onset is very mild unlike Type 1 diabetes at the earlier stages and it afflicts nearly 15% of the diabetics. So, diabetics…. have a close watch on your health. Even some people, who haven’t had a history of diabetes (type 1 or 2), have been afflicted by diabetes type 1.5. If you have excessive thirst or weight loss, it is better to consult a doctor. After all diabetes is sweet urine but the complications are devastating. That is why it is called as the “Silent Killer.”</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span class="testo_normale" style="color:#99cc00;"><strong>La stevia, la planta que las multinacionales de los edulcorantes pretenden ocultar</strong> (<strong>14 horas, Sala 1</strong>), junto a <strong>Josep Pàmies</strong>, productor y líder del Convivium Slow Food de Balaguer. En esta ocasión, la asociación española presentará el manifiesto en apoyo de la stevia. Los extractos de esta planta, originaria de Paraguay, tienen un poder endulzante 200 veces superior al del azúcar, pese a no proporcionar ninguna caloría ni alterar los niveles de glucosa en sangre. Actualmente, una vez verificados los efectos de la planta en el hombre, la FAO y la OMS han introducido la stevia en una lista momentánea de comercialización, a la espera de su inclusión definitiva en el Codex Alimentarius. Sus extractos, utilizados desde hace siglos por los indígenas sudamericanos y muy extendidos en Japón, pueden adquirirse sólo en herbolarios de Estados Unidos, mientras que en Europa, excepto en algunos países, no se admite su venta. La comercialización de la planta determinaría un contragolpe significativo a la industria de los endulzantes, dominada por los productores de azúcar y de otros edulcorantes sintéticos.<br />
La historia, las características y los usos de la stevia en la cocina ocuparán el lugar central de un Laboratorio del gusto durante el próximo <strong>Salone Internazionale del Gusto</strong>, en <strong>Turín del 23 al 27 de octubre</strong>. Durante esos mismos días, en la tercera edición de <strong>Terra Madre</strong>, cocineros y productores de stevia de Paraguay podrán debatir sobre las posibilidades de comercialización de este edulcorante. </span></p>

<p><strong>As of 2007, there is no cure for either type 1 or type 2<br />
diabetes. This may seem like a dim outlook for many people,<br />
but the fact is that even though there is no cure, there<br />
certainly are ways to manage your diabetes.</strong><br />
<strong>Proper management can give you many years of healthy<br />
living.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Diabetes management starts with a visit to your doctor.<br />
first, finding out you have diabetes, what type you have<br />
then arming yourself with as much information as possible<br />
about the diabetes you are diagnosed with.</strong></p>
<p><strong>All management begins with controlling the glucose cycle.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The glucose cycle is affected by two factors, entry of<br />
glucose into the bloodstream and blood levels of insulin to<br />
control the transport out.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Your glucose levels are very sensitive to both diet and<br />
exercise, so change in either should first be discussed<br />
with your physician. Proper management of diabetes can be<br />
very intrusive to the patient.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Proper management requires a complete lifestyle change and<br />
frequent, sometimes multi-daily checks of glucose in the<br />
blood.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It can change as people grow and develop and no two cases<br />
are ever really the same. Today it is easier to measure the<br />
blood sugar level.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Glucose meters are readily available and are quite easy to<br />
use with a little practice and patience.</strong></p>
<p><strong>With a small drop of blood to the testing strip attached to<br />
the glucose meter, the user is given the number, which<br />
represents their blood sugar level. This in turn will let<br />
the user know if and when insulin is needed.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Diabetes in Pets           </strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>It is not only the human kind that can develop diabetes.<br />
Even our beloved pets, no matter how well we care for them,<br />
can develop diabetes.</strong><br />
<strong>This is often a scary situation for the pet owner and the<br />
first question that is usually asked of the veterinarian is<br />
-will my pet need to be put to sleep-</strong></p>
<p><strong>Of course this is a difficult issue and the answer may vary<br />
on the overall age and health of your pet.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Many older pets that are diagnosed with diabetes go on to<br />
live many more happy years, but this takes commitment and<br />
close care of your pet.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Diabetic cats and dogs can live just as long as perfectly<br />
healthy pet if the diabetes is diagnosed and treated<br />
properly by both the veterinarian and the owner.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This takes great commitment from the owner. Pets must be<br />
cared for and watched daily with a high level of care and<br />
patience.</strong></p>
<p><strong>There can be no feeding the cat and forgetting until the<br />
next day. There is no leaving the pet along to go on a<br />
trip. Every day your pet will need medication, fed a proper<br />
diet and his behavior will need to be monitored closely.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This doesn’t mean you will have to give up your job and<br />
stay home full time with your pet, but it does mean you<br />
will have to pay more attention to what his behavior is and<br />
know what to do if the situation should change.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It is also more of a financial obligation to have a sick<br />
pet. So it is something that should be discussed in length<br />
with your vet.</strong></p>

<p>Diabetes In Children                      </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p> <strong>Diabetes in children is also known as juvenile diabetes,<br />
but more commonly known as type 1 diabetes. It is the most<br />
common form of diabetes in children with ninety to<br />
ninety-five percent of carriers being under 16.</strong><br />
<strong>Juvenile diabetes is caused by the inability of the<br />
pancreas to produce insulin. It is an autoimmune disease,<br />
which means the bodies own defense system attacks the<br />
body’s tissues or organs.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In the last 30 years the number of juvenile diabetes had<br />
increased three times over and in Europe and the US we are<br />
now seeing type 2 diabetes in children for the first time.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Obesity easily explains type 2, but not why there is such a<br />
rise in type 1 diabetes in children. It is believed that a<br />
mixture of genetics and environmental factors are what<br />
triggers juvenile diabetes. But the majority of children<br />
don’t have a family history of diabetes.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The symptoms for juvenile diabetes are the same as in<br />
adults. Thirst, weight loss, fatigue, frequent urination is<br />
typical, but diabetes in children can also increase stomach<br />
pains, headaches and behavior problems.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Doctors should consider the possibility of diabetes in<br />
children who have unexplained stomach pains for a few<br />
weeks, along with the typical symptoms.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you believe your child may be experiencing these<br />
symptoms you should schedule them for a thorough<br />
examination and tell your doctor what you suspect your<br />
child may have. Be sure to tell them about any and all<br />
symptoms your child may be experiencing.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Diabetes Epidemic<a href="http://articlemasters.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/picture-8561.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-62" title="picture-8561" src="http://articlemasters.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/picture-8561.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>With obesity levels being at an all time high, the epidemic<br />
of type 2 diabetes is growing at an alarming rate, and will<br />
only get worse.</strong><br />
<strong>Between 2001 and 2002, the diagnosis of diabetes went from<br />
5.5 percent of Americans to an alarming 6.5 percent. In<br />
just one year!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Overall, twelve million Americans have been diagnosed and<br />
another 5 million Americans have diabetes and don’t know<br />
it. And yet another 12 millions are on their way to type 2<br />
diabetes because of impaired glucose levels.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Not knowing is the worst because risks of untreated<br />
diabetes puts us at a terrible risk of complications<br />
including but not limited to blindness, amputations and<br />
ultimately death.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The stickler is, that type 2 diabetes is almost completely<br />
preventable. Doctor’s say eat less, eat better and<br />
exercise. The numbers show just how many Americans are<br />
currently overweight.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Statistically, people are now living longer, and it has<br />
been on the rise for years. But this will not continue if<br />
type 2 diabetes is not put under control.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We are a gluttonous society and ultimately it is affecting<br />
how we live and how long we live.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And unfortunately, the diabetes epidemic is not just a US<br />
problem. It is spreading worldwide with epidemic reports in<br />
Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It is estimated that by 2025, the number of diabetics<br />
worldwide will rise to 380 million. And diabetes is now<br />
affecting more of the young and middle-aged population in<br />
developing countries between the ages of 40 and 59.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Diabetes<a href="http://articlemasters.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0920.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-55" title="dsc_0920" src="http://articlemasters.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0920.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Diabetes is a growing problem in this country. With our<br />
population at an all time high in weight gain and a low in<br />
health care, the problem is only growing.</strong><br />
<strong>Diabetes is a disease of the metabolism. Our metabolism is<br />
what the way our bodies use digested food for energy and<br />
growth.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Most food that is processed through our bodies is broken<br />
down by digestive juices into a sugar called glucose.<br />
Glucose is the fuel our bodies run on.</strong></p>
<p><strong>When we eat, and our food is processed, the pancreas is<br />
supposed to produce the right amount of glucose from our<br />
blood automatically and release the right amount of insulin<br />
into our blood.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In people with diabetes, little to no insulin is produced<br />
or the body’s cells don’t respond correctly to the insulin<br />
that is produced. Therefore the glucose builds up and<br />
overflows into the urine and passes out of the body.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is how the body loses its main source of fuel even<br />
though the bloodstream contains good amounts of the natural<br />
glucose.</strong></p>
<p><strong>There are three types of diabetes, type 1, type 2 and<br />
gestational diabetes. People who have type 1 are known as<br />
insulin-dependent.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is an autoimmune disease where the body’s natural<br />
system is fighting against another part of the body. In the<br />
case of type 1 diabetes, the system attacks the insulin<br />
producing cells and destroys them.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Therefore the pancreas can produce little to no insulin.<br />
These people are in need of daily injections of insulin to<br />
live. Five to ten percent of diabetes cases are type 1 in<br />
the US.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had pizza tonight. Pizza with sausage and mushrooms. My Husky had lobster tails and shrimp. That was supposed to be my dinner except I left them on the counter to thaw and went to the back room for a few minutes. My wife came home from work and asked me what's for dinner. I told her I was going to grill the lobster tails for us. She asked, looking in the fridge, "Where are they?" "On the counter." I replied. "Where?" "Near the sink." "I don't see them." I came into the kitchen and they weren't there. I looked around and no packages. I looked in the fridge, on the counter again and then around the living room. Walking by the Acadia doors to the back yard, I saw the butcher paper all over the yard. I go out there and low and behold, paper every where but no shrimp or lobster. And by now my dogs were back in the house resting. I should have put them in the fridge 'cause you can never trust a husky.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>...because today would have been a disaster.</p>
<p>Yes, perhaps only an RD2B would think about such things as their daily carbohydrate consumption, but today's intake was pretty hilarious. Let's start from the beginning (I'll underline the carb sources to help you out:</p>
<p>Breakfast: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">8 pancakes</span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">chocolate milk</span>, soy sausage patty, margarine, sugar-free syrup (maybe that will balance it all?)</p>
<p>Lunch: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">clementine</span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">big slab of cake</span> and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">chocolate milk</span></p>
<p>Dinner: half caesar salad, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">chips</span> and spinach dip</p>
<p>Dessert: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">frozen yogurt</span> with <span style="text-decoration:underline;">reeses pieces</span> and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">brownie chunks</span></p>
<p>We aren't even going to think more about this. However, I did go for a walk this morning, got my exercise in. And I didn't actually intend on eating all 8 pancakes, but they seemed to be calling my name.</p>
<p>And really, none of this shouldn't matter, because I don't have diabetes! I swear, working in a teaching hospital has turned me into more of a hypochondriac than I ever was...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081009185032.htm" target="_blank">study</a> shows that your small intestine can "taste" bitter food, and in response releases cholecystokinin, a hormone that, among other things, makes you feel full. Since toxic substances often taste bitter, this is useful because it prevents you from eating more of the toxic food. The implications of this is that by making drugs less bitter, they can hasten the absorption and thus the physiological effect in the body. They also found that bitter substances causes the release of GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide 1), a hormone that stimulates insulin secretion, and this could potentially have implications for the treatment diabetes.</p>
