It is quite common to find excessively high levels of iron in the tissues of diabetics. In excess, it will damage and destroy the cells in the pancreas, liver and spleen. We still have not explained their precise relationship. Calcium seems to have a stimulating effect on insulin. Some researchers feel the imbalance between the two is key.
Medical documentation cites that very high calcium and very low magnesium also occur in diabetics.
It is not my purpose here to argue either, but in diabetes these two very important minerals are grossly imbalanced. I will not list them here, but would advise a diabetic patient to check carefully with his or her doctor regarding this. You may have to look it up yourself if the doctor is too embarrassed to discuss this point. Dr. Weston Price, in his book Diet and Physical Degeneration , made a very interesting observation. Dr. Price studied and examined people all over the world.
