Suggestions for treating Diabetes successfully and a load of other cures for things I have enjoyed during my life and succeeded at overcoming

I have had Type 2 Diabetes for over the past 20 years and I am still on tablets for it, I self medicate since my Diabetes Doctor tried to make me have a vaccine, sacked him on the spot and I am a couch potato - I don't exercise at all, apart from doing a weekly food shop every 10 days or so, if I can stretch my shopped food out that long - so i'm doing everything anti establishment and not what they "recommend" I do, nor have I, these past 20 plus years or so, re my Diabetes.

The most important thing about diabetes seems to be losing weight, the ideal weight is 97kg (224 lbs) or less - when you reach that weight, everything Diabetes is much easier to control and the reasons you got Diabetes in the first place, seems to recede - once a diabetic, always a diabetic, but at least you get to live your life to a ripe old age, as long as you also reject all vaccines and their intentions, whatever that might be.

If you take insulin injections for your diabetes, then you have to take considerably more care of your body, before you stop or reduce those insulin injections, make sure your diabetes blood count remains as low as possible and stays there (under 6.0), post insulin injections and the pills and potions you are served by your doctor to manage your diabetes, needs to be reviewed by you as well, more often, then occasionally, if all goes well, it seems to me.

I will tell you what I do re food on a daily basis and more recently, I have been cutting back on the prescribed medication I have been taking (provided by the blood Accu-Check analysis from my finger in the morning), once a week or so, because diabetes is a very slow disease, so we are told, my theory being that my body only needs medication to control my diabetes and if less of the medication works as well as more of the medication, then surely, the more medication I take, means that I have to keep going to stronger and stronger medications, to control my blood sugars, when in fact, if I take less and less, that will put off the inevitable, for a bloody lot longer than my diabetes doctor has prescribed - which brings my thinking back to what is the base line here - my health and control of my diabetes, or Big Pharma's profits and those of my doctor, yet again, by pills increases and "their" ongoing profits from those?

The problem with our society is that we appear to have been trained to trust, but who do we trust, when the experiences we see from those who we are supposed to trust most, appears to be faulty, most of the time, or deliberately so, like a sometimes, second hand car salesman, selling you a car?

I give the shirt off my back for those who need it, more than I do and I help out financially those who need my money more than I do - after all, I only need so much to be happy and giving is as wonderful the feeling, as the joy I bring to those I can help, as I must - which is why I get shitty with those who take, but don't give financially, anything back to society as a whole.

So let's start with a base line. My live in companion who is physically huge, does not have diabetes and her blood sugars are 4.5 - I am a diabetic and anything below 8 means that I have my type 2 diabetes under control, but the lower I can get my blood sugars, the better for me - so currently morning 5.5 and evening 6.8 - both going down, if slowly, on my new diet alone, where before, I cruised for the past 20 odd years on 7.5 and prescribed pills and was happy with that.

The medication I have been prescribed is:

Cavstat Rosuvastatin 20mg (as calcium) x1 daily, Xigduo XR5/1000dapagliflozin 5 mg metformin HCL 1000mg modified release tablet x2 daily (morning and night), Glyade MR gliclazide 30mg x2 morning and 1x night slowly reduced by me, by self medicating, so far - from x3 night and x3 morning)

My daily diet is

Breakfast 2 x eggs, 2 x potato cakes (hash browns?) 1/2 large can baked beans in tomato sauce. Cup of black coffee, helps keep headaches away, which I never get now. I drink sugar free orange cordial to taste, plus tap water, which here is clean and safe to drink from the tap.

Lunch 2 x eggs sandwiches on mixed grain brown bread - but any bread, other then white is OK. My pet Greyhound helps me eat my lunch. I tear out the soft middle part of each sandwich which I eat and he eats a generous proportion of my left for him sandwich, plus the crust, so I'd say I eat 1 x egg sandwich of the 2, I make lunchtime.

Tea: Canned fish: One can of either Sardines, Salmon, Mackerel drained of the liquid they come in, with cooked root vegetables and greens. Potatoes, Carrots, Pumpkin, Onion, Brocoli, Cauliflower, etc, it does not matter how much and I usually eat a lot to fill up on, in the evenings.

And that's it - my blood sugars are dropping and I have great control of my diabetes and weight loss, without exercising pretty much, at all.

I had my remaining teeth removed a few years ago, so i can't eat any food which is hard, everything I eat has to be soft, so all well cooked, because of that (I'm a Gummy), but when I wear my "whitened" falsies, I look like a predatory Shark on the prowl, when I smile.

I have Psoriasis under my feet and currently under the tips of my fingers both hands, don't know why, it seems to be an occasional thing. Under my feet makes walking painful sometimes and I have to be careful that the cracks in my Heels don't develop into an infection, which occurs occasionally - clean my heels and apply Betadine Antiseptic Ointment and when OK, Rich Nourishing Body or Hand Lotion over all.

For Psoriasis the best prescribed Foam Spray for it is Enstilar which comes in a 60g metal spray can under pressure. Spray some foam onto your hand and apply over the Psoriasis - Enstilar can make Psoriasis go away altogether, nothing else does - but you need to keep a regular check on your body for new outbreaks, because Psoriasis does come back again - no idea why, so maintenance rather then cure.

i wear socks when I've got Psoriasis on my feet and I like Hospital Socks with rubber spots underneath, as they aid walking and avoid slips. E.bay for them in bulk, if you can afford the cost, otherwise what you can afford and they keep your feet warm too, wash and reuse many times.

I am an Asthmatic, have been for 45 plus years - not a very bad one, but I do get my moments, I take Pulmicort, a "suck" powder type spray - I rarely take my spray and only when the Asthma seems to flare up and that always seems to be when I am in an air-conditioned room - I'm OK with a fan on, but air-conditioning gets me going, every time - don't know why?

Back operation some 35 years ago. I chose a Laminectomy. The back surgeon uses a metal expanding sleeve which they use to open up the back muscles down to your spine, use a small hole saw to open up your spine, when one of the sacks in your spine has ruptured and caused the contents to push your Sciatic Nerve out of alignment - hurts like Hell, indescribable constant pain.

Back surgeon uses a pair of forceps to remove the hardened disk parts, allowing your Sciatic Nerve to return to its position and then reassemble you in reverse and when you awaken, hopefully pain free, as I was and have been ever since. If you can get the book "How to Be Your Own Back Doctor" on eBay or Amazon, it is well worth the cost and describes this method fully - my recommendation for you.

Don't let them inject dye, before an X-Ray - get them to put you in the thing which looks like an open drum and build up a picture of your ruptured disk that way. Much safer, zero risk.

Everything else stands the test of time rather well, late 70's now.

Someone once asked me what it felt like to get old.

Nothing much changes, one day follows another and you live as happy as you can be, then one day, you look in a mirror and you see you have aged, or rather your body has aged, you, inside, remain the same as you have always been, except more frail than you have ever been in your life, before.

It is how it is and at the, well, towards end of my life, I want to live as long as I can this life, because it is this life and when I die, that's it, all over Red Rover and if there is life after death, this is the last time, not wanting to come back to be injected with vaccines which potentially kill me, soon after I am reborn. No Thanks.

Want to know who Red Rover was, no idea - have to ask a Scottie "Scottish Person".

This is my second Greyhound. They run or they sleep, they are affectionate, very intelligent and great pets, there when you want them, not there, when you don't want. It helps to have a potentially fast dog if you are not steady on your feet, they don't get in the way and you can't fall over them, unless they are asleep underfoot - just saying - and they live to around 15 years or more, don't eat much, but I feed mine well, I don't like skinny starving dogs, which these are when you get them. Fat and happy in all things, works best for them. You get back what you put out.

Off the cuff other things.

I don't believe in pain medication, I'd rather manage the pain myself and the best way is to accept it, is to tell yourself that your body is telling itself it is hurt and the body needs to repair itself and over time it always does. Consider the pain your friend and think of it as a friend, sharing your pain with you and that makes it easier and with time, the pain lessens and eventually goes away.

A dog in a pack can't appear to have hurt itself, because the pack would turn on it and kill and eat it, so the injured dog hides its injury and pain and carries on just the same as it always has, only we humans, with Big Pharma's help, use their pain medications, which tell our bodies that we don't need healing, which invariably leads to Arthritis, when the pain medication does not work and the body thinks it is being invaded and attacks itself, where, if it had been left to repair damage naturally, that won't ever happen.

Me RSI (work related) both arms 8.5 years before it came right. Aching right knee, so bad that to begin with, I walked with a walking stick, which I eventually threw away - made me look old, fuck that - 26 years before my knee came right. Tinnitus (heavy industrial Hyster fork lifts the cause) 35 years plus now. I live in silence and i can't wear hearing aids because they amplify the noises around me which cause the Tinnitus to flare up again. Silence is Golden and after so many years (over 25 living in silence) I can't imagine living any other way.

I am deaf, but I can hear a normal conversation and communicate easily, when spoken to other than softly. If the other person is really attractive facially, I tend to lose track of what's being said and have to ask them to repeat what they've just said, but it is how it is and i still like looking at attractive people.

Headaches. Used to have quite bad ones. Seemed to be when my body was out of whack, so deciding what the cause of the issue was, doing an internal check, usually resolved the problem. Headaches mean you need to consider why and find a solution. Usually eyes and needing new glasses does the trick.

Headaches: Get someone to put their hand on your forehead and use the other hand to press around the underneath of your skull, under your ear and around to the other ear, under the ridge you find there, to find muscular knots - they hurt like Hell when pushed on - with one or two fingers. Any sore spots, work them until the pain goes away, then on to the next sore spot, ditto. Massage the lower jaw hinge under the ears. Most headache pain and migraine type pain, goes away pretty quickly afterwards - no pain medication necessary - just saying.

People will think you are a God massaging their pain away - just don't tell them how you did it. Time taken, a few minutes!!
