By Evan Stehwien, Type 1 Diabetic since age 5 (www.quora.com) Basically, we don’t have the technology to replace an organ yet. Type 1 diabetes comes about when the body stops producing insulin, because the immune system destroys the beta cells in the pancreas. In order to cure T1D, you need to get the body to produce its own insulin again. Transplants seem like a good idea. Take functioning beta cells, if you can find 2–3 donors, and put them in the diabetic person. However, the body’s immune system is really good at destroying things that come from outside the body. Anyone who receives a transplant needs to take a combination of immunosuppresive drugs for the rest of their life. Replacing one life-long medicine with another doesn’t seem like a cure to me, and that’s ignoring the side effects on one’s kidneys and rather dismal rate of success. After 1 year, 42% of patients were back on insulin, and that number only gets higher as the years go on. Transplants aren’t a via...

by Charlotte Cole www.quora.com Tomatoes are so much more than a pretty salad topping. They’re packed with vitamin C, which helps build collagen and, in turn, makes your skin look firmer and plumper. They also have lycopene, which protects your skin from UV damage and improves your vascular system. According to Pace, after six weeks of eating tomatoes regularly, all that extra circulation will give you a noticeable glow. Berries and raspberries are Pace’s top picks. They contain flavonoids, polyphenols, vitamins, probiotics, and tons of antioxidants. “They’re free-radical scavengers,” explains Pace. If you’re concerned with the effect your environment — anything from pollution to elements in your water — is having on your skin, add more berries to your diet. “They can even promote cell regeneration for new skin,” says Pace. Green Tea inorder to keep your skin looking as young as possible for as long as possible, your cells need to regenerate correctly. (Cells that mutate c...

There’s one simple reason that most “detoxes” fail, and if you tried dozens and never gotten any real results, this is probably why… They cut out the #1 fat-burning food that SHOULD be the basis of your entire “detox”... Dietary fat. Or what I like to call Energy Accelerators… Because these foods literally fill you up so you DON’T overeat… They help transform you from being a carb-burner to being a fat-burner… And most important, you NEVER feel deprived because you’re eating actual foods that fill you up, so you aren’t snacking every couple of yours because someone told you that “keeps your metabolism burning”. It doesn’t. In fact, eating every couple of hours, no matter how healthy the food is, just forces your body to work overtime digesting everything and you get HUGE insulin spikes that put you in fat-storing mode instead of fat-burning mode… Which is where you want to be, right? So if you see a “detox” or “weekend cleanse” that’s all about drinking veggie ju...

Hidden number codes? Numbers. They appear all around you. The phone numbers you dial, the license plate on the car in front of you, street signs, pin codes, clocks, a new calendar year (Happy 2018!)... [ Enter your date of birth. ] But what about the numbers you can't see? Every single moment of every single day, number patterns are swirling all around you. The chair you're sitting on, the coffee you're drinking, the air you're breathing... All matter and energy vibrates at a specific frequency and carries a hidden numerical code. What do these number codes mean? Before you go and say "nothing", I suggest you consider your own existence... You, yourself, are made from layers and layers of one perfect number. One that is found everywhere in nature and across all dimensions of time and space... From tiny nautilus shells buried deep in the ocean floor, to delicate flower petals, to prickly pineapples, all the way up to the most gorgeous...
