To Mandy: Also......... the United States as a country does not support stem cell research but others countries permit and are making good progress with it. The U.S. does not appear to be a leading country in Diabetes Research but the country that does solve the problem (keep an eye on Norway) will obviously share the solution with the world. Good things appear to be right around the corner. It will happen.

Mandy, look in the National News section of your Sunday paper, is a lot on sten cell research and the great outlook for a cure for diabetes , MS and Parkenson disease as well as new organs for those that now die waiting for transplants. The religionists on here greatly oppose it...but hang in there...

At the end of the day some women are going to have abortions, so why can we not use the feotus for stem cell research. Like many of you on here I am sick of needles everyday, making sure that I am eating the right things, The only time I get to eat something really nice is when I am "hypo"!! I am sorry if that offends some of you, but if there was another source that may cure diabetes then I'm all for it, do we know if stem cell research works??

(): Southern Baptists have a lot in common with Christians since as Faith said here one time most of us are Christians first Baptists second and Southern Baptists third. With the millions of us that there are in this country I do not doubt that if you look long and hard enough you can find one that hates Catholics and Jews. But I and no one I know hates either one. In fact the best friend I have in this world is a Catholic. I know many Jewish people and admire and respect them. In fact () I can't think of any one I hate not even you. As far as some news magazine special on TV goes you have my sympathy if you believe everything you see on TV. Especially the news magazines when it has been proven several times the means they will go to in order to sell a story. Herb (Bear)

(): I really don't know if you are as uninformed as you appear to be or if you just want to stir up an argument and then get into personal attacks. I will grant you that with the millions of people that profess Christianity that if you look long enough and hard enough you can find almost any opinion that you want to, some of them unrealistic and rediculous. But the majority of Christians are mainstream citizens who are quite responsible in their attitudes and convictions. Your statement about witch hunts is absolutely rediculous. The vast majority of Christians support your right to belive what ever you choose to believe regardless of whether or not it is in conflict with what they believe. In fact many Christians have lost their lives fighting for just that right in this country. As far as my being on the dole. Yes, I have a great retirement program through the Southern Baptist Annuity Board. But, the facts are the convention put 10% of my salary over and above my salary and Jodi and I paid in 20% of my salary for years into a retirement insurance program in order to receive the retirement that we get. I don't see how this qualifies as being on the dole. My opinions and convictions are my own, a product of my lifes experiences. Herb (Bear)

Well Herb, the truth is that if you religionists had your way we would still be having witch hunts....you are on the dole from your religion headquarters so your answer is what is expected....

(): You need to become a little more knowledgeable on a subject before you speak. You don't have a clue as to how those of us who you refer to as religionists feel about stem cell research. You also know nothing about how churches are financed. We do not get federal money. What the government spends on research has no relationship to what the churches have to spend on their members. Before you bring up Bush's bill to present the chuches with money to use for charitable purposes let me tell you how an awful lot of Christians feel about that. We don't want it. When we accepted federal money for our schools was when we lost local control of our schools and accepted federal control and we do not want the government to control our churches. This whole thing about stem cell research the controversy is being mistated. I don't know of anyone who is against the research. What we are against is the unethical harvesting of the stem cells. To abort a child in order to use it's stem cell is murder and is unethical. If a woman will have children in order to collect child support why wouldn't some women get pregnant in order to abort the child and sell the stem cell tissue? I have a daughter who is in the medical field and a son in law that is a research scientist. They assure me that we are so close to artificialy producing stem cell tissue in the lab artificially and we are also very close to taking a small DNA cell sample from the patient requiring treatment that will provide a perfect match when the new tissue is grown in the lab. This would eliminate the necesity for the recipient to have to take all the anti rejection drugs. I can say unequivicbly that despite my diabets and all my complecations I am not personally interested in a cure that requires a child to lose their life. I have the right to make that decision. The child making the ultimate sacrifice has no oportunity to make an informed decision. Herb (Bear)

Sabrina, most people would support stem cell research if they felt it could apply to them...we have a very vocal group of religionists on here that would much prefer that money go to their churches for prayer and to drag more people into their faith..

stem cell research. hmm. well for starters, if it could cure diabetes, i'm all for it. i don't know about you people, but i'm right sick of having it. i hate watching what i eat for fear of my sugar going into orbit, and i hate the needles, and i just hate the whole idea of it. i wasn't asked if i wanted this, it just came to me. so if some scientist can find a cure through stem cell research, more power to them. i would hope that they can also find a cure for my other condition, nuro-cardiogenic syncope. then i could be healthy again. i hope that someday that people waiting on an organ transplant will never have to wait long because there will always be something available. you all talk about how its wrong-but do you really think of what good it could do? oh and to answer the question, a moron is someone who doesn't see any view but his own.

TOAD, common sense is indeed the rule for training. My legs are killing me from deep squats yesterday. Today, it is arms, calves, and hamstrings. Thinking about posting another food combo idea on Monday. Well. gotta hit the hay!

For the record, everything possible, short of killing children, should be done to find a cure for this disease. Somehow, the issue of killing another kid doesn't get into the process. Is this just emotion at work? Maybe. Toad, chrisbrock.com is the site of a powerlifter with experience training diabetics. Try this, it is great. 1 1/2 cups of spinach pasta, 5 oz baked salmon w/a little olive oil, 1 oz fwta cheese (goat), 20z kelp (wash off the salt and heat up with tomato sauce ( 1 cup,) Add a handful of cherry tomatoes....great stuff. Healthy! Of course portions must fit meal plan. Or this...pan fry a chicken breast in a little olive oil, shortly before it is done, sautee some 3-4 guavas and 1/2 cup string beans. Serve on a bed of couscous.

I don't support stem cell research because I don't think this is the wondrous cure-all answer for every disease known to man. It may be promising, but it may turn out to offer nothing. I don't want to debate that issue here; my email address is posted above -- if you want to continue the discussion, please email me there. Thanks!

Hi all... Gordon welcome back.:+)... Thanks for the info guys. Something else to keep an eye out for, eh? LOL...CB? Can you give me a web site that lists excersize aps. and the correct way to use them? I mean, I used weights but it was back in the late 60's and early 70's and I just haven't kept up with it all. I am a firm believer in 'careful' and althought, most of them are common sense, I was wondering if there's a site that will refresh my ol' brain on each apperatas(sp). While I have found a local gym(?) it is very basic. With no trainers. I have a friend that is willing to spot for me and we're both consintrating on the leg/thigh areas mostly, but still. I'd appreciate any info you can give. I really want to be able to ride a regular bike by the end of the year. Thanks... The humidity is awful again. Makes my hands shake and that is maddening. But the hard part is that I don't want to eat when it's so humid. Not even salads. So I'm drinking juices instead. (I love V8!) I suppose Gordo, you'll kick my butt for that.:+0 But eating solid food in the summer actually makes me sick to my stomach?... Faith, I'm jealous!!! I want some new southwestern jewlery tooooo!!!!! The toe ring sounds great. I'm done. You can yell at me now... LOL

To "Just a reader": While I don't support stem cell research, here are a few sites that can provide more information about this. National Institute of Health -- www.nih.gov/news/stemcell/primer.htm Another -- www.emcell.com Pro-research site with news & research: www.stemcellresearchnews.com Anti-research site with news & opinions (just trying to be balanced here, dear APs): www.stemcellresearch.org You can also go to any search engine (Yahoo, Excite, Google) and just type in "stem cell research". You'll get hundreds of categories and web sites to review from both sides of this debate.

On Fri Jul 20 00:45:05 2001 Gordon (gordom@earthlink.net) said:
Toad: I agree with CB regarding the extreme seriousness of DKA. The prime reason for this is when passing ketones, you also lose sodium and potassium resulting in electrolyte imbalance. This can easily result in ketoacidotic coma, which is associated with high mortality rates. Yes, it is very serious. I don't agree with the reasoning for type 2 diabetics. Type 1 is a shortage or absence of insulin production by the pancreas. Early type 2 is usually a result of fat interferance with the insulin receptors on the muscle and fat cells. This insulin receptor is the mechanism used by these cells to take up their needed dose of glucose for energy production in the muscle. The process is called receptor mediated endocytosis if you want to understand more about how your body works. The main thing that is overlooked by the prediagnosis type 2's is the effect of excess fat accumulation. This is the direct result of too much caloric intake for the amount of calories used. Excess glucose production results in fat production that results in further receptor interference. In the past, this occurrance took place over a period of 20 to 30 years. This time sequence is being shortened by the outrageous nutritional habits of today. Obesity is the "in" thing now-a-days. It is a person's right to eat as unhealthily as they want and to destroy their body. The destruction of the key parts of the human body is becoming more rampant. Not only is type 2 diabetes on the rise, but also heart disease and many other conditions aggravated by fat accumulation and fat oxidation. Reduction of body fat accumulation may not be the complete answer for all type 2 diabetics but serious effort to reduce body fat through a combination of exercise and nutritional changes that minimize glucose production to be less than the body's needs. The current response to any serious condition with the human body is to take the easy way out and throw drugs at the ailment. Specialists make a judgement call on any medication that they prescribe however, no medication is guaranteed to solve a particular problem. My late wife took many different medications during the last 8 years for her heart condition, but they were not without change due to complications. I have a future daughter-in-law, a type 2 diabetic, that is on kidney dialysis due to glucophage treatment. No medication works exactly the same way for each person. In my case, I prefer to make the effort to stay as medication free for as long as possible to postpone these drug complications. Thus, my choice is to control my blood glucose level the hard way, to know what to eat and how much exercise to use the glucose rather than permit it to turn into fat. It works for me, and has for 5 1/2 years. When it doesn't, then I'll see about medication for additional assistance. This will not negate my nutritional and exercise primary care but will be a supplement to it. At age 73, I plan to fight this for many more years, even if I have to become a weight lifter. CB has the best grasp of overall nutrition and exercise therapy of anyone on here, including some of the so-called anonymous professionals. CB has the guts to suggest what works for him. None of us claim to be doctors. We can't prescribe controlled substances and do not try. CB gets his necessary nutrients his way while I get mine my way. We both recognize the need for exercise, his for building muscle mass, and mine for removing lard that accumulates mainly around my middle. Sure, I have lost muscle mass in the last 5 years but how many 73 year olds haven't. I had the opportunity to pay back "Bear" yesterday by offering him support in his loss of a nephew in return for his support for me a month ago at the funeral for my wife. Seeing what he has experienced and viewing the malicious crap that he has had to endure while trying to be of assistance on here encourages me to try to help. Keep up the good work Herb. End of sermon. Gordo
