Well, mabe this will help open up some conversation:

First, I understand that it is insulin that does the aging...that it
is insulin that packs on the weight.

On the flipside, the low blood sugar levels with healthy, effective
insulin is what one would aspire to.

Well, I am insulin resistant, and have hyper insulinism... I am
diabetic for sure, but can also go into hypoglycemia if I try and
eat too low carb.

I do NOT take any medications, and I try and restrict my diet very
carefully. But one of the problems I have are uncontrollable
binges.

So I might eat mostly really admirably well... and then I lose }it......

Also, eating food often makes me ill.... and not eating food makes me
ill as well.

I am not sure if this is all blood sugar related, or if some of it
is adrenal/ food allergies/ heart failure... I have been trying to
figure it out for a long time.

Deep candida that I am having hard time getting resolved also adds
to this binging, I am sure.

To be honest, I am not sure what my exact question is here.

I have read your info files before, and can understand the concept
about keeping the blood sugar low and stable... But I guess what I
don't understand is how it works to take extra insulin, if insulin
supposedly ages you and packs on the weight, etc....

And how do I deal with that when I already have hyperinsulinism, but
I can not eat only super low carb?..and then I "lose it..." (I cannot
lose weight for the life of me....)

Do you have any comments on any of the above? Can you shed any light?

Thanks,

Inga


Ellis [Hello Inga... You are right, I am not sure what your exact
question is here, but I will try to answer an interesting question
which you ask, which I will rephrase as follows:

"How does it help to take injected insulin, if insulin supposedly
ages you, and packs on the weight, etc.?"

The right amount of Insulin doesn't age you... Excess insulin
ages you...

The reason that it "works" to inject insulin is because I am
taking the RIGHT DOSE of insulin AT THE RIGHT TIME, and so this
helps to KEEP MY BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS down...

This then removes the necessity of my PANCREAS to try to bring
high blood glucose levels down with high levels of insulin...
So my pancreas doesn't have to produce and release great amounts
of insulin to bring down blood glucose because my blood glucose
level is (hopefully) between 70 and 90 mg/dl due to the insulin
which I injected an hour ago.

So "according to Ellis" in the LONG RUN, my pancreas will not burn
out as soon as it will if I don't give it some help. So this will
help me to postpone the day when I will become a diabetic type 2...

And let me say this about "insulin supposedly ages you..."

It is not INSULIN that ages you... it is SUGAR IN THE BLOOD
that ages you, because sugar gums up the circulatory system, and
sugar also snuffs out NEURONS, and sugar damages HEMOGLOBIN in
your blood which should be carrying OXYGEN to all your body...
And it also probably crystallizes and damages some other
protein cells in your body, which might or might not recover...

For sure, NEURONS are damaged with high blood glucose, because
we KNOW this happens to diabetics... Some neurons might recuperate
if they are only damaged a little... but once neurons are gone,
in theory they are gone forever. Another neuron might be
brought to take up the job, but it will never be the same.

The problem with losing NEURONS is that EVEN IF another neuron
might take on its job... "According to Ellis" every NEURON HAS
A MEMORY... and if the neuron is gone, the memory is gone too...

The memory might be "I receive an order over on this side and I
send it out, over on this side"

Or the memory might be "Ellis is the name of this person."

But once the memory is gone, it is gone, and now some other neuron
has to do the job... maybe it will learn and be programmed with a
new memory that says "I receive an order on this side... and where
do I send it out? Oh... I think maybe I send it out over on
this side... let me see..."

Or it might be "Elvis is the name of this person..."

So we get the job done but we lose a little speed... we lose a
little memory every time we lose a neuron because of high blood
glucose...

So we really have to try to avoid the loss of neurons because
NEURONS IS US. OUR BEING IS OUR NERVOUS SYSTEM, not the muscles
or the bones or the heart or the liver or the circulatory system,
which are all there just to package and move and assist the BRAIN
and the NERVOUS SYSTEM. We THINK, and WE FEEL, and WE CREATE, and
WE ARE HAPPY or WE ARE SAD because it is our NERVOUS SYSTEM that
thinks and feels and creates or is happy or sad... WE ARE our
nervous system.

Red blood cells will regenerate, if the kidney is not damaged...
but the kidney will eventually get damaged if blood sugar is high
for many years, because the kidney is the organ that is in charge
of CLEANING UP THE MESS every time blood sugar is high.

And since the kidney is in charge of producing and releasing
EPO, which regulates the amount of oxygen circulating in our
blood, if the kidney gets damaged or partly damaged by high blood
glucose, then it loses ability to make EPO and so we also lose a
little oxygen in our body.

(If you don't know what is EPO, please read this page)

http://www.rajeun.net/whatisepo.html

This is as if you lose a little water to water your garden... Most
of the grass grows green, but some of the grass has to suffer from
less water.

This is the reason why a person who is diabetic for many years
and does not know it, ends up discovering that he is diabetic when
he finally has to go to the doctor because he has KIDNEY problems.
By then his kidney is probably shot to death, and the person is in
BIG TROUBLE.

So... I know it is a paradox... I know it seems that when I
inject INSULIN I am RAISING the amount of insulin in my blood.

But I am raising it exactly when I need to raise it. This is
like the saying "a stitch in time, saves nine..." I put in one
stitch of insulin at the right time, and this saves what would
have been nine stitches of insulin, later.

So... If you would inject a proper dose of insulin at the
right time, it is MY GUESS that your pancreas would not have
to release extra large quantities of insulin ("hyperinsulinism")
later.

And if you would not have HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS at some
time, which is causing you to have high blood insulin levels
and resistance to insulin, then you would also avoid the roller
coaster ride which then goes to become Hypoglycemia.

Like in a roller coaster, the LOWS come after the HIGHS.

Avoid the HIGHs, and you avoid the LOWs.

And paradoxically the lower amount of insulin then floating about
in my blood is LESS than if I had not injected insulin... And
"according to Ellis" it is EXCESS quantities of insulin floating
about in the circulatory system for long periods of time that causes
INSULIN RESISTANCE...

I also have a page on HOW TO REVERSE INSULIN RESISTANCE, but since
I intend to include this page in a book which I intend to sell,
you can READ the page, but you have to write to me and agree that
it is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY... Write to me to etoussier(at)yahoo.com

and I will be happy to give you the URL (without charge...)

Thanks for writing,
