Comment Diabetes is already becoming popular (Score 0) 323

Do you think they are going to remove the high fructose corn syrup from all the products that are causing diabetes? Hell no. Most of us already are insulin resistant. The best thing to do is to find a cure for diabetes instead of worrying about how to prevent it. It's no longer possible to prevent it when theres high fructose corn syrup in just about every food. The only solution to diabetes is to find a way to upregulate insulin receptors and increase insulin sensitivity so people never develop type 2 diabetes, and for those who do it can be reversed. When you reverse or prevent insulin resistance you prevent people from dying of heart disease and you actually strengthen the financial viability of the healthcare industry. Right now drug industrys like the diabetes situation because they have a continuous supply of new diabetics coming in. At some point half the population will be diabetic, and when this happens its going to be too late.

The best situation would be for people to fund the search for a cure, not the search for a new drug or treatment. This means people need to fund the supplement industry not the drug industry, and people need to start open source drug companies that share their discoveries. These drug companies will form when doctors want to cure diabetes, and people with big money want to fund these doctors. Hey if people with diabetes or who have certain genes to make them vulnerable to it actually became a member of a network of individuals trying to cure it, its only a matter of time. I think diabetes type 1 will be cured first, then type 2, I don't think cancer will ever be cured, however I think we will find ways to prevent it.

If you want a cure, you have to make it yourself, drug companies will never make it and will do everything in their power to surpress you and your industry backing a cure if you ever do come up with a cure. So if you are rich and powerful, and diabetes genes are in your family, it is your responsibility to cure the disease. It is also the responsibility of consumers, lawyers, etc.

Heart disease will be cured once insulin resistance is cured. Insulin resistance will be cured once diabetes is cured. All of this won't increase or decrease lifespan, what it does is it increases the quality of life.
