    Cachexia Caused By Insulin Resistance

    The study was done with cancer but it probably applies to other conditions involving tissue wasting. Inability to burn sugar is what caused fat and muscle tissue to waste. This also matches Ray's views on why restricting glucose in cancer patients is pointless - i.e. the body will accelerate the...

    Insulin Resistance Is Caused By Elevated Fatty Acids (FFA)

    This is probably one of the biggest debates currently, and I have seen many people over at Peatarian.com argue over it. According to the studies below, and confirmed by the usage of high dose aspirin to restore insulin sensitivity, it is the chronic elevation of free fatty acids (FFA) that cause...

    Bone As A Regulator Of Glucose Metabolism

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24127499 For a long time the only functions attributed to the skeleton were locomotion and calcium storage. Over the last decade, this view has changed. Genetic studies in mice have shown that bone metabolism is regulated by the autonomic nervous system and...

    High Fasting Blood Sugar Levels - "pre-diabetes" Levels

    I've tested my fasting blood sugar at home a few times in the last week, and the results have all been over 100mg - up to 111mg/dl (6.2 mmol). This would put me in "pre-diabetes" range. I've got old blood glucose readings done through a doctor about 3 months into Peating when I was at 90, and...

    Moderate Doses Of Aspirin Reverse Insulin Resistance

    The study was in rats but it has been replicated in humans as well, even though the replication study in humans used much higher doses of aspirin (human dose 90mg/kg). This study used smaller doses of aspirin equivalent to 650mg taken every 6 hours. If this works, it could be a much safer dosing...

    Both Types Of Diabetes Are Caused By The Same Mechanism

    Ray has written on the similarities between type I and type II diabetes and how they are really the same disease, but of different severity. Modern medicine claimed for years that the two types are fundamentally different, and type I is an auto-immune condition. This article claims scientists in...

    Low Carb Induced Severe Insulin Resistance?

    I was low carb from March to June, initially started a ketogenic diet but progressed to a moderate carb diet. Throughout this awful, groggy journey I was experiencing reactive hypoglycemia (something that was never an issue before). Ever since I started introducing carbs as the main...
