Questions about Hyperinsulinemia/Diabetes

[MRC_Hans]

Isn't cramp caused by lack of sodium or calcium ions?

Possibly, I'm not strong on muscle metabolism, but rhe cramped muscle will have poor blood-circulation and this causes local acidity.

Whether cramp is a contracted or relaxed condition?

Leg pain can be due to a muscle cramp (also called a charley horse). Common causes of cramps include:

Muscle fatigue or strain from overuse, excessive exercise, or holding a muscle in the same position for a long time.

Dehydration or depletion of potassium, sodium, calcium, or magnesium.

Medications like diuretics, which can cause you to lose too much fluid or minerals, and cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins.

Muscle spasms can cause cramps and are usually brought on by the following:

Muscle fatigue
Heavy exercise
Dehydration
Pregnancy
Hypothyroidism
Depleted magnesium or calcium stores or other metabolic abnormalities
Alcoholism
Kidney failure leading to uremia
Medications

I think Kumar is right. The only thing he can do is to immediately destroy his computer, run into the farthest cave he can find and live among nature like it was intended. Never approach another city or modern technology ever again.

Whether cramp is a contracted or relaxed condition?

Ahh, this is a case where empirical observation is in order.

Kumar, you are no doubt sitting on a chair. Now, stretch one leg so the foot is lifted well from the floor while the thigh still rests on the edge of the chair. Next, tighten you calf muscle as hard as you can and keep it like that till it cramps.

Now tell us your observation: Is it a contracted or relaxed condition?

You may re-read previous reply. Sodium, Calcium(one group) Potassium, Magnessium(may be Iron also) other group. ??

Hans: No only heavy exercise and serious respiratory problems.

Does mental stresses & excess gastric acids can effect respiration pattern?

Mojo,

"No. The brain uses pretty much the same amount of energy, and hence the same amount of oxygen, whatever it's doing.

This is why physical exercise will help someone lose weight, but mental activity won't."

Whateher excess mental stresses is not alike need of more energy?

[Sarah-I]

Calcium is more involved in muscle contraction, along with actin and myosin.

However, how did Kumar get from talking about Isulin Resistance and diabetes to lactic acid build up?

No it isn't! Read what you've just quoted back at me, and try to understand it this time.

Any "discussion" with Kumar resembles 100metre dash for people without directional sense. -

Kumar has no idea where he is and no idea where he is going, hence he can get from anywhere to anywhere in no time at all .

...... Glad to see your migraine is better, Sarah . Better not read too many Kumar posts, or it might return.

You're wrong. Reading Kumar's posts causes the same symptoms as a headache, and so should act as a homeopathic cure to even the worst of migranes.

 

[MRC_Hans]

Not with Sarah's symptom profile .

[Mojo]

Perhaps not reading Kumar's posts would be the equivalent of a high potency (i.e. over 24x/12c) homeopathic headache remedy.

Anyway, I've already addressed a similar issue here, although I wasn't thinking of him as a headache cure on that occasion.

It's hard to find new ways to mock Kumar, everything's been done before

Kumar, why do I get the feeling that all your posts are about trying to find medical reasons why you shouldn't exercise or moderate your diet to control your diabetes?

Due to chances of many odds and uncleared existances in it. To deal with body, one should know everything in "absolute" otherwise it can just be thought as "playing/experimenting with the body. I am not so "easy going" and "guliable". Moreover, one should be "absolutely convinced" under "skeptics" environment.

Can you name few aspects which are "absolute" or "absolutely convincing so persiting since long" in modern system which we can follow without playing/experimenting with bodies?

When will you give award to me, for "BEST SKEPTIC"?

What part of "there are no absolutes in science" is it so hard for you to understand?

I am not so "easy going" and "guliable".

You are remarkably gullible. You fell for some of the dumbest scams out there, namely homeopathy and tissue salts.

Moreover, one should be "absolutely convinced" under "skeptics" environment.

I'd like to see your definition for "skeptic."

What part of "there are no absolutes in science" is it so hard for you to understand? "Absolutely convincing" would depend on your definitions.

When will you give award to me, for "BEST SKEPTIC"?

It'd be nice if you first became at all skeptical, if you developed any kind of critical thinking skills first. As long as you're willing to accept systems that not only have no evidence to support them, but have loads of evidence against them, then you are not a skeptic.

You know Kumar, you have a great career ahead of you as a straight man.

Look Kumar, if you have Type II diabetes and you lose weight and reduce your intake of refined carbohydrates, including the tasty pastries that I'm guessing you love so much, you will reduce and possibly eliminate your need for insulin. Have you ever tried it out? Why not? Why do you believe in mass exisiting homeopathy but not mass exisiting conventional medicine in which every single responsible physician tells diabetics to control their weight and sugar intake?

Thanks for the common advice. Although I hate pastries but I like natural carbs. But the problem is that; if we will not eat or will eat, how it can be thought as a treatment by medicines. The treatment & cure should be with normal average eatings not on restricted & deficients average foods.

Donks,

Do you want to suggest that everything in modern system is perfect/absolute & nothing can be wrong/oversight/unknown/carelessness/mis-prescripion * so we should follow it blindly without douting anything. Should we not understand a disease, a doctor or a prescription--if we are capable in advance? Whether everything in modern system is "absolute" i.e. free from imperfection?

What part of "there are no absolutes in science" do you NOT understand? Do NOT tell me what I want to suggest. Do NOT lie about my position. I could not have stated it more clearly.

What part of "there are no absolutes in science" do you NOT understand?

Edit: Kumar, I really do not understand this last post of yours. Honestly, you can't be stupid enough to read that "there are NO absolutes in science" and take that to mean that "EVERYTHING in science is absolute." The only other option I can see is that you are a totally dishonest person. Why would anyone discuss anything with a person that can continually takes a position and misrepresents it as the complete opposite?
