BREAKTHROUGH

The idea of blogs on such books was of interest as well. We discussed a few. One of which is Breakthrough. Available through Amazon as well as through most book stores.....

An amazing experiment on myself

I stopped taking insulin at all a year ago.



At this time last year I began an amazing experiment. I hated insulin treatment and came to believe that we all have the innate capacity to heal ourselves. So I started an experiment.



I began an intense study of Kundalini Yoga and meditation. Kundalini yoga is an ancient form of Raja yoga with its origins about 5000 years old. I also began to receive acupuncture treatments regularly in addition to eating what is referred to as a… Continue

Sugar Suppresses our Immune System

http://paulsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/11/day-330-sugar-suppresses-our-immune.html

My chemistry teacher made a quick comment about how when one consumes sugar, it paralyses the immune system for x amount of time. This was fascinating to hear, because diabetics are known to have a weak immune system - so I've done some reading and this is the best site that I've found for it at…

Diabetic Epidemic

http://paulsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-176-diabetic-epidemic.html

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see that there will be a diabetic epidemic arising in the world due to the amount of sugar that we consume within the products that we buy and our sedentary lifestyle, causing the pancreas to become overworked and having the hormone of insulin become…

Day 160 - Sugar in All Our Food

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that there is an overload of sugar that is being added to our food for us to `enjoy`, but the starting point has not been enjoyment, the starting point of adding all this sugar has been for profit without the consideration of the human physical body and the nutrients that it needs, and in this I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize the correlation between the amount of sugar within our…

Insulin Sensitivity, Sedentary, And Junk Food

http://paulsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/09/day-144-insulin-sensitivity-sedentary.html

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that if I am not active during the day there is going to be a lack of assistance from physical activity to support the transfer of sugar within the blood stream to the cells and therefore I am going to need more insulin…

Randomly Injecting Insulin

http://paulsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/09/day-143-randomly-injecting-insulin.html

Random injection comes from the lazy character where I am too lazy to efficiently calculate the amount of carbs that I am eating within a meal or within a snack and I inject an estimation on what I am eating based on past memories of what I ate at what time and what I injected at that point, or it is…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to INSULIN!

Toronto July 30th, 1921! Thank you Dr. Banting!

On July 30th 1921, 91 years ago, researchers at the University of Toronto, led by Surgeon Frederick Grant Banting, made the grand discovery of insulin.
This miracle hormone (and/or synthetic drug) became the lifeline of so many children and adults who would not be alive today without it.
Dr Banting...war hero...and hero to all people with diabetes.
