For example, "That's Dom'd up!" Or, "Dom an A!" Or even, "Dom off, mother-dommer!" I mean, it's probably considered the worst of the swear words. But when you think about it, it describes something really quite beautiful. And I'd be all over lead guitar for DEATHsicle! I don't know how to play guitar. Does that make a difference? |

I think self pleasuring and 2 types of Oral sex need a username associated if your interested. No experience is needed to play lead, Experience would mess up the DEATHsicle vibe. Last edited by broncosteven; 07-03-2007 at 05:41 PM.. |

This is the same fool that one time I took a drive from another golfer on the chest - right dead on my breastbone, I felt my heart take an extra beat when that ball hit me - because he collapsed out of the following groups view. I ran back to help him and heard, "FORE, FORE, FOOOORRRE!!!!!!", looked up and the ball was heading dead for him. I shielded him and figured I'd take it in the fat of the stomach, but misjudged it, and gotdang did that hurt. He also had all his clothes cut off him one time by the paramedics on a golf course when he collapsed. Naturally, his golfing buddies had absoultely no idea he was a diabetic, so naturally had no idea if they fed him a little glucose, he'd be able to pop right back up. He's been more responsible since then. |

Spider, like everyone has already said, nothing to be ashamed of, it isn't something you get from doing drugs or having unprotected sex!
Don't let the "stay away from sugar" thing make you think that is all you need to do. It has probably been said already (I did not read all 4 pages), but it is carbs that matter, not sugar. When you look at the nutrional label on foods, the carb's include the amount of sugar in it also. I have been type 1 diabetic since I was 4 years old, 42 now (that's A LOT of shots!) but it has not stopped me from doing anything I wanted to do. Just eat and monitor your sugar levels, then you will now what foods jack you up and what foods do not. I know McDonalds fries jack me up, Jack in The Box are not as bad, don't know why, but hey, I can eat a fry every once in a while that way. My Doc told me a long time ago, if you want to eat a snickers bar for lunch, go ahead, but that is about all you can eat for lunch, except salad. Veggies are like free food (not all, carrots and peas turn into sugar with a qucikness). Did your Doc put you on any type of diet, like to count carb's? Mine has me eating a certain amount of carbs, 15 carbs = 1 exchange. For lunch I get 5 exchanges (exchanges are different groups of food, like bread/starch's, etc.) The Joslin Center has a vast amount of information you can get, as well as several others on the interweb. http://www.joslin.org/ Just keep a close tabs on it, and you will be just as normal as anyone who does not have it. If you did not know I was diabetic, you couldn't tell by looking at me (unless you check my finger tips, I test usually 8 - 10 times per day). Keep your chin up and take care of yourself! |

Eat To Live: New fears over aspartame
July 2, 2007 at 9:25 AM By JULIA WATSON UPI Food Writer LE BUGUE, France, July 2 (UPI) -- Two years ago, Italian researchers at the prestigious Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences published a study that showed feeding rats aspartame at levels per body weight close to those of humans led to an increase in brain tumors, lymphomas and leukemia in the females. Aspartame, familiar to consumers as brand names NutraSweet and Equal, is an artificial sweetener found globally in approximately 6,000 products. It's contained in candy, desserts and yogurts. It's in diet sodas and hot chocolate and those sugar-free packets for coffee and tea in restaurants. It's also in some pharmaceutical products, like cough lozenges and vitamins. Some chewing gum is aspartame-sweetened. At this level of saturation, it represents 62 percent of the artificial sweetener market. As reported by Eat To Live last May, the FDA rejected the foundation's conclusions, saying they weren't consistent with other studies that the FDA had evaluated that confirmed aspartame was safe as a sweet alternative to sugar. So the Ramazzini Foundation went back to the drawing board. This time, it put 4,000 rats on doses of aspartame equivalent in respective body weight to the amount consumed by some people. With this second investigation, they also began exposing rats to aspartame before they were born. And they allowed them to live until they died a natural death, instead of killing them at two years as in other studies elsewhere. Their conclusions have just been published in Environmental Health Perspectives, the journal of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Parents should take particular note. Again, they found significant increases in lymphomas and leukemia. When fetuses were exposed to the sweetener, the potential carcinogenic effects increased. A study last year from the National Cancer Institute involving 340,045 men and 226,945 women found no significant link between aspartame and cancer. But the men and women studied were all between the ages of 50 and 69 and had only begun consuming the sweetener in adulthood. Children are considerable consumers of aspartame through Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Kool-Aid, Jell-O gelatin dessert and pudding mixes and certain Popsicles. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the acceptable daily intake of aspartame is equivalent to a child weighing 50 pounds drinking two cans of diet soda daily, or a 150 pound adult drinking just over seven. It encourages people not to panic. Just to stop buying products containing aspartame. However, the Ramazzini Foundation researchers write in their study: "On the basis of the present findings, we believe that a review of the current regulations governing the use of aspartame cannot be delayed. "This review is particularly urgent with regard to aspartame-containing beverages, heavily consumed by children." The FDA says it has not yet reviewed the report. But it appears it still finds no reason to revise its opinion or advice to consumers. Since the study's publication, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, on its Web site Chemical Cuisine directory, has now demoted aspartame from the "use caution" category to "everyone should avoid". It also gives thumbs down to acesulfame. If you want a sweet alternative to sugar, it recommends sucralose, commonly known by the brand name Splenda. To satisfy a sweet tooth craving, try chewing on dried apricots or a handful of dried prunes or raisins. Stewing then pureeing dried apricots provides a very sweet sauce to pour round or over ice cream or slices of cake that already contain enough of the sugar you crave that you don't need to increase the amount with a butterscotch or chocolate sauce. http://www.upi.com/Consumer_Health_D...spartame/6520/ |

Maybe only Italian rats have this problem and the American rats have adapted.
Always be wary of studies that suggets "avoid brand x but brand y is okay". It may be legit but it can also be a study underwriten by brand y to scare people off of using a competitor. As always, follow the money. |

1. Aloxin (I think) is the chemical used to give lab rats type II diabetes. Also is used to bleach food such as flour. 2. He has gone vegan and his numbers are below 90 every mourning. 3. A cure is near. |

Although I did read an article a few months ago about 2 guys in Brazil who were insulin dependant and they did something and they no longer take insulin. I need to find that again and re-read it, see if anything new has surfaced about it. Edit, found it: http://www.diabeteshealth.com/read/2007/04/11/5113.html Hope for a Type 1 Diabetes Cure? 15 Patients Off Insulin After Stem Cell Treatment Linda von Wartburg 11 April 2007 Researchers from Sao Paulo in Brazil have announced that in a group of fifteen insulin-requiring, newly-diagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes, stem cell therapy has preserved beta cell function and eliminated the need for insulin for up to 35 months so far. The procedure is called autologous nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHST). First the patients underwent high-dose chemotherapy to eliminate the white blood cells that were attacking the pancreas. The process shut down their immune system and stopped further destruction of the twenty to forty percent of their beta cells that remained. Then they were injected with a chemical that freed their own (autologous) stem cells from their bone marrow, which is full of stem cells. These hematopoietic stem cells (bone marrow cells that are precursors of immune T-cells) were filtered out of their blood, treated, and then re-injected into their blood stream in order to re-start a new and better immune system. By using this procedure, the researchers apparently reset or retrained the patients immune systems, and the symptoms of diabetes were reversed. The researchers believe that the stem cells developed into new white blood cells that do not attack the pancreatic beta cells. Fourteen of the patients, who began the trial at varying times, no longer have to use insulin: one has been insulin-free for 35 months, four for twelve months, and seven for six months. Two who started late have been insulin-free for one and five months each. One patient resumed insulin use one year after AHST. The findings are considered very preliminary, as the study was small, quite short, and did not have a control group. None of the researchers feel comfortable calling the procedure a cure or even a breakthough. There are still numerous questions about how exactly how it works and for how long. It is still not known whether the patients honeymoon period, in which the beta cells still function for a time after diagnosis, played into the results.
