I know that many changes occur in the body with
Diabetes, I have never had an allergy to medical type tape
until this past December. My question is about
Migraines. Can Diabetes cause these types of headaches? I am
not talking about a headaches that can be caused by
high BS.<br
To put it bluntly, the underlying theory on which
much of Western medicine was based for almost a
thousand years was pure bunk. The vastly influential
Salerno School of Medicine, a genuinely MEDIEVAL academy
flourishing around 1,000 A.D., borrowed from the Greeks the
concept that just as the world contained four elements
(fire, air, water, earth), so the body contained four
corresponding humors: blood (fire), phlegm (earth), black bile
(water) and yellow bile (air).<br
became the art of maintaining a humoral balance. Someone
coughing up phlegm, which is cold earth, would need to
ingest an excess of “hot” foods, such as peppery foods
or even animal blood to counterbalance the
cold.<br
complicated when they discovered that each person already had

We returned from OKC once again today. Our
daughter is still about the same. We appreciate all of you
who have inquired about her and expressed concern for
her welfare. I have been so down thinking about what
the future probably has in store for her that I just
haven’t felt like posting. We have faced problems like
this before and I’m sure that we will once again. But
that doesn’t seem to lessen the weight at the
time.<br
Before I was diagnosed Diabetes positive in March
of ‘98, a blood test was performed in the Summer of
‘97 by Disney to check for a widely used chemical at
the time which was being fazed out by the Government
because of it’s toxicity. The whole department where I
work was having blood drawn. The blood was sent to
Florida Hospital. All of the results were screened by
Disney Doctors. My glucose level was high-250. This was
earmarked by the lab to draw attention to the fact that it
was well above normal. The Disney Doctor dismissed
this saying that the half a can of soda I had had an
hour before my blood was drawn must have been the
cause. A few months after my diagnosis I had turned in
an application for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act)
which clearly stated that I was a Type 1 Diabetic. A

INCOMPETENCE:<br

Victorian era was as likely to have no effect, harm you, or
even kill you as to cure you. Patients often healed in
spite of treatments.<br
breakthroughs of medical science in the 20th century, we
forget, just how abysmal medical treatments sometimes
were in the past.<br
reputable Renaissance doctors; enemas and blood-letting
topped the list of treatments by American doctors at the
time of the Americal Revolution; the completely
ludicrous theory of the body’s four humors (black bile,
yellow bile, etc.) was the most accepted theory of
health through the l800s, when cell pathology was
discovered. Many medieval doctors deemed “water-casting”
