Default Good news in a round about sort of way

Some one in Toronto figured out that diabetes is actually a nerve disease and not an endocrine disease!! Now, even though I'm not a diabetic(isfsn)
a lot more money will get funneled into nerve research from diabetic research, and I have a hunch this could be very big. I hope so. Ever the optomist. Did any one else hear that low Vit D is linked to increased incidence MS? I don't have any contacts on this stuff but just catch bits of health news. I recently increased my gabapentn to 2700 from 2400 and just that little bit more ate my brain. But my ear feels better anyway.
Happy solstice every one. The days get longer now.

Default Yes

Aware of the vitamin D connection to MS and several other things.

But the diabetes information is new to me. Another thing I discovered recently about insulin resistance is that it can be caused by getting too little oxygen. Sleeping on ones side instead of back can be a help in mild cases. I was looking into it for my aunt, who has no other risk factor for it.

Looks like the information on some of these things is converging and will be extremely helpful in the near future. Whoopee for lots of people!!!!!

Thanks,

rose

Default Well--I wouldn't go too crazy yet--

--though I admit this research avenue sounds promising.

This thread is a good discussion of both the enthusiasm and the caution:

And, there is this thread on the "other board" which I think has some good hypotheses and discussion:
