I just purchased and read a very intriguing text by Doug Kauffman called
"Infectious Diabetes". His premise in the book is that diabetes could
probably be a fungi infection and given the right "terrain" manifest itself
into diabetes. Kauffman was primarily a nutritionist and he found in his
early work that prescribing patients with obvious fungi problems like toe
nail and vaginal infections, a low carb diet with antifungal medication
often proved very beneficial. He also noticed that many of these same
patients were diabetic and, accordingly, their diabetes vastly improved at
the same time. He found that the low carb diet and antifungal medication
could often drop a patients blood sugar down to normal levels and keep them
there, but as soon as they went back to their old diet and stopped
antifungal medications, the old problems came back! He was excited that he
may have found a unique break through for diabetics and told some MDs which
he was working with. They immediately discouraged him from further study
basing their opinion on the status quo--that diabetes was never treated by
low carb diets (well in the 1970s) and antifungal medication (even now).
One of the main causes of diabetes as proposed by the American Diabetes
Assoc is that people are over-weight and they eat too much. Kauffman asks,
well if 20-30% of the American people are obese, why do not all of the obese
people develop diabetes? We are missing 60-110 million diabetic cases in the
rest of the obese population. He reasons that not all obese people get
diabetes and 10% of type 2 diabetics are NOT over weight. He also finds the
genetic angle to not hold water of which I will not go into in this post.
His only logical conclusion is that diabetes is a fungal infection with the
mycotoxins they produce.
Fungi is every where. We cannot avoid them. Often antibiotic use can
open up our immune system to terrible fungi infections. There is also very
real world problem of steroid induced diabetes, Streptozotocin (a fungi
mycotoxin) induced diabetes, etc, etc. Might I add here that these and
others can be linked to fungi infections with the mainstream seemingly
oblivious to this connection. Could not steroid usage stimulate fungi
infections or statins which are derived from fungi mycotoxins also suggest
that diabetes may be fungi based? Kauffman points out that there is evidence
linking the drinking of cows milk to type 1 diabetes in children and he
suggests it is the mycotoxin in the fat cells of milk that may be the link.
The USDA does not screen for mycotoxins and they can be found any where in
feed stuffs.
History of the Fungi/diabetic link:
1954...........uric acid can cause lab animals to develop diabetes
1963..........it is found that sacchromyces yeast produces uric acid.
1976...........Cryptococcus fungi is found in the islets of langerhans cells
of two diabetic dying children. Later studies, Cryptococcus is injected into
lab animals resulting in similar results. Cryptococcus also produces uric
acid.
1990..........Type 1 diabetes was reportedly cured by using cyclosporin A an
antifungal.
---------------
1973.........it was shown that mutton is loaded with mycotoxins
1981.........a study of preg Icelandic women who ate cured mutton close to
their pregnancy gave birth to babies with diabetes.
1980...........alloxan (mycotoxin) damages insulin producing beta cells
1981..........Stremtozotocin, a mycotoxin was shown to produce diabetes in
lab animals.
1990...........lab rats on a 10% brewers yeast diet developed diabetes
-----------
1973..........common to see cancer patients treated with mycotoxins develop
diabetes.
1990.........lab animals were induced into diabetes with L-asparaginase
Kauffman goes on to point out that a corn mycotoxin that is commonly found
on corn may be one reason why there seems to be a diabetic epidemic in Latin
America. Asperigillus niger is another fungi that is found in many
foodstuffs, particularly peanuts and corn. It generates oxalic acid in large
amounts which can inhibit our cells that convert carbohydrates into energy
leading to high blood sugar.
Sulfa drugs are commonly used to control blood sugar in diabetics by
stimulating the pancreas. It is not normally recognized that sulfa drugs are
also antifungals. The use of statin drugs have been shown to coincidently
lower the risks of producing diabetes. Antifungal means anticholesterol!
The anti-cholesterol drugs were discovered accidently because researchers
were looking for antifungal medications! They found the statin group work
against fungi because they inhibit an enzyme that our bodies need to process
cholesterol. Fungi depend on cholesterol for survival Stopping cholesterol
production in the fungi is an effective antifungal mechanism. Statin drugs
are fungally derived and are mycotoxins. Fungi can produce cholesterol as
well., So the ability of statin drugs to inhibit the enzyme and kill fungi
at the same time may be the complex mechanism for statins,,,,,,,not simply a
lowering of cholesterol. In short, Kauffman suggests that high cholesterol
in the human may also be fungi related.
That's enough of the Kauffman theories for now. On a personal level, my
dog seemed to be develolping canine diabetes last summer and by giving her
MMS (sodium chlorite), the diabetic symptoms seemed to have been reversed in
hours. Of course,
I treated her on immediate onset of symptoms which may be optimum! The popular
treatment of sodium chlorite that is capturing much of the alternative medical,
DIY internet and is basically an anti-infective, has been shown to exert
influence on diabetes which only makes sense, if diabetes has infectious
origins. CS should be useful too! An interesting youtube video:

Subject: CS>Diabetes Question
Would appreciate any help on the subject of type 1 diabetes and if CS has
help. Not type 2 which is the most common. Or any other aids other than diet,
exercise, rest , and the reg. known supplements. Thank you for any help. My
son has had this for eight years now and his blood sugar is always exceedingly
way to high.
