Diabetes Talking

Question:

MHD I am sorry for upsetting your group but I still feel Charles is not the Christian he said he was and he is my only enemy and no one else is. Charles you are a hypocrite and you know it. You only care about your own beliefs and ideas. I am glad you were not my daughters Sunday School teacher because I reared her not to be a bigot like people like you. I pity you Charles, with your health conditions you told me you have you should walk the narrow path better than you are. I don’t apologize for anything said to you but to the rest of MHD I won’t bother your group again.

This isn’t CHARLES group, but if you feel that you no longer wish to participate, then that’s Ok. I thought I might learn something here but I am done with newsgroups.

Would this be because you didn’t get the full support of the masses I wonder? If so, then I’d say you’re right and that newsgroups aren’t for you. I wanted to make friends but I found out the internet is not the place.

It was for a lot of us. Thanks to the ones who have supported me. Yes Ted you are a very sweet person to me and I love you for that. You hang in there Ted and things will get better.

Which Ted is this? Beav

From Guy Williams                       A lot us have been following this group for years.  WE can expect a certain of posting from some of our people.  This is not a problem for me.  I know all of the people would come to aid me if I needed and asked for it.

The personalities may be diverse, our behaviour predictable, but we rally when the chips are down.

This group was initiated to inform people about diabetes. At that time I was suffering and did not know squat about my problem.   When I found MHD it was like it was getting daylight.   It was formed by some very special people. A few are still around still helping.   When we get too far off on a tangent we must try to remember why we are here. Technical words are to define, not to impress.  Using them to snow a diabetic is improper. They are used for selling to fool the syckers.  They have a place,  if used at the proper place and in the proper setting. . When I see a person come here confused and very distressed, then flower nto a wonderful poster with positive contributions, I feel great                                           Guy.

A few weeks back I was at a health food se and the owner was talking to me about restreing my eyesight with some herb or other. Her intent wasn’t exactly to sell me something from her store, she was quite curious, and as we talked, I discovered she didn’t know squat about retinopathy. She was not like some of the spammers we get here, but was trying to understand and help me. It escalated in to an argument. A rather strong one, as she was convinced she would be able to regrow the part of my retina that is damaged, and prevent further bleeding in my eyes. Partly because of this group, i uave gotten enough knowledge about the cause and effect of this eye disease and m opthal assured me that once the retina detaches, that’s it … game over.  This lady would not let it go, and shewas following me around the store, and was absolutely convinced, maybe due to her training as an herbalist, and partly due to ignorance, that she really believed that she could restore my ruined sight. Now, I don;t know owyou feel about this, but wouldn’t you think that if this were possible, that some caring doc would gladly hand these things out. If it was so simple and all we had to do was to buy this herb to see, how many grateful people flock to that store to get treated. My God, the grateful hordes that would appear ! And how cruel is it to make this kind of claim, to a person already in trouble. Just like Jack with a hand full of magic beans, huh ? I was in the store buying something else, and here is this woman telling me she is capable of curing my problem, with a $10 bottle of an herb. When she wouldn’t let it go, I got angry and told her off. Told her how cruel it was to keep this ability she has to cure blindness. We will not be shopping in her store anymore. It’s closer to my house than the only other store, but I’ll be taking the bus to the other one now. Just like the vitamin store for body builders right by my house. One lady who works there is convinced that some preparation they sell will cure diabetes. The difference between this lady and the other, is that this lady is just a fast talking saleswoman. Shs no more believes this crap than flying to the moon, She is just looking for her commission. The unabashed cruelty of telling people that this or that preparation will fix or restore a medical problem, is so huge that it just boggles my mind. And people should really know better, that if any of this was real, we’d all be doing it, right ? In contrast, the other health food place i go to, does not promote anything they sell as a cure. They mainly have real food stuffs and prepackagd healthy snacks and supplements. They do have the usual number of remedies and packaged herbs and so forth, but these guys never push it. They’ll fix you up with a wheatgrass drink at the juice bar ( very poplar there ), but they don’t pretend to be God.                    Anyone who reads this group on a continuing basis, know bett. I think we all have a responsibility to continue to make sure others don’t get scammed by people who only want money. I. for one, know the desperation of finding a way to deal with my diminishing sight, and eating some pill that might not even really be a certain herb or anything other than a placebo, might be attractive in a desperate moment. But we know these things won;t work. Some people will try the latest "witch doctor". I have a really good idea, ( she said sarcastically ) it might be unique to some. Invest all your time and money in to good education, a gym membership and the best food and med you can. Find an acceptable doc. Most people want a quick fix and there isn’t one. And some people want to believe all that mumbo gumbo the spammer scammers blab. I personally wouldn’t give any creedence to anyone telling me that some magic pill will care anything. At least I know I a not going to hell with a pocket full of money I stole from hopeful desperate folks ! Rainbow
