I have an interest in the blend of what we term "orthodox" and "alternative", "complementary" medicine. On the complementary side one of the practioners mentioned the presence of "Flukes" in the pancreas of diabetics. I thought the following might be of interest and perhaps the more knowlegable amongst us would like to comment. There are some bold statements here and the quote has no references but the contents are an interesting thought. Amongst all the other reasons people give for why diabetes is on the increase could there be a partial solution to the problem here

Quote:
All diabetics have a common fluke parasite, Eurytrema pancreaticum, the pancreatic fluke of cattle, in their own pancreas. It seems likely that we get it from cattle, repeatedly, by eating their meat or dairy products in a raw state. It is not hard to kill with a zapper but because of its infective stages in our food supply we can immediately be reinfected.
Eurytrema will not settle and multiply in our pancreas without the presence of wood alcohol (methanol). Methanol pollution pervades our food supply -- it is found in processed food including bottled water, artificial sweetener, soda pop, baby formula and powdered drinks of all kinds including health food varieties. I presume wood alcohol is used to wash equipment used in manufacturing. If your child has diabetes, use nothing out of a can, package or bottle except regular milk, and no processed foods.
By killing this parasite and removing wood alcohol from the diet, the need for insulin can be cut in half in three weeks (or sooner!).
Be vigilant with your blood sugar checks. The pancreas with its tiny islets that produce insulin recovers very quickly. Even if 90% of them were destroyed, requiring daily insulin shots, half of them can recover or regenerate so insulin is no longer necessary. The insulin shot itself may be polluted with wood alcohol (this is an especially cruel irony -- the treatment itself is worsening the condition)....... Try different brands of insulin until you find one that is free of methanol.
Artificial sweeteners are polluted with wood alcohol! Instead of helping you cope with your diabetes, they are actually promoting it! Do not use them.
Drugs that stimulate the pancreas to make more insulin may also carry solvent pollution; test them for wood alcohol and switch brands and bottles until you find a pure one. You may not need them much longer, so the extra expense now may soon reward you.
Many persons can detoxify the amount of wood alcohol that pollutes our foods. They do not have a mold, Kojic acid, built up in their bodies as diabetics do. I have found Kojic acid in coffee, and potatoes with gray areas inside. Do not eat discolored potatoes or peels, even if cooked or baked. Being able to detoxify a poisonous substance like wood alcohol should not give us the justification for consuming it. All poisons are bad for us. Do not consume them.
All diabetic persons also carry a virus, HA virus in the pancreas. This virus is grown in the skin as a wart but is spread quite widely in the body such as in the spleen or liver besides pancreas. It is not necessary to kill the virus since it disappears when the pancreatic fluke is gone. The HA virus undoubtedly belongs to the pancreatic fluke. The question can be asked: Does the fluke or its virus cause diabetes? There might even be a bacterium, so far missed in our observations, that is the real perpetrator.
While recovering from diabetes it is very important to check your blood sugar every day. Improvement is so rapid, you may suddenly be over-insulinized by your next shot. Cut down your dose to suit your actual need.

i found this discussion about flukes being a causative agent in diabetes to be very troubling from a professional point of view.it is one thing for a herbalist or naturapath to entertain anecdotal theories that are way of the mainstream of medicine.this is kind of what you expect from them(i mean no disrespect to naturapaths).
however,as podiatrists we are trained as physicians and surgeons of the foot,within the standards of allopathic medicine.if we wish to be included as physicians within mainstream medicine we simply can not afford to entertain such nonesense.
