Hi!
I am a type 1 diabetic and am currently healing. I've been able to drastically reduce my insulin intake using natural therpies. Please check my blog Healing Type 1 Diabetes by 2dreem. I have posted a website with some great articles to get you started. I also have posted a few stories of people who have gotten off insulin and I still have more I'd like to post.

You are incredibly lucky that you caught this so early. You can get him off easily if you do the right things. He doesn't need to suffer like millions of us do. Immediatly, put him on an all raw diet. That means nothing cooked, processed. Only fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds, uncooked, and unaltered. A boy named Sergei Boutenko was cured of type 1 diabetes. He caught it early, like you, and is now extremely healthy and disease free. All he did was eat nothing but raw foods. After he's on a raw diet for a while I would suggest putting him on an apple only diet for a few days to a week. You can read all about this here http://users.mrbean.net.au/~wlast/diabetestruth.html Also see holistic diabetes treatment at the bottom. This is where they describe the fast. Though they do recommend meat, that is entirely unnecessary and could be harmful. Just stick to a low fat raw vegan diet with minimal sweet fruits.

This should be all you need to cure him. Be aware that most new diabetics also go through something called the honeymoon phase where their pancreas starts working again and they don't need to inject insulin anymore. But they fall back into the diseased state again because they contnue to live an unhealthy lifestyle. This phase is a sign that the body tries to and can heal itself, but you have to help it along. You can change this for him. Because you caught this early most likely he will be cured very easily. Also, it has been show that when normal people are injected with insulin they develop diabetes. Insulin drugs are poison. Try to give him as little as possible. But of course, never just take him off immediately, that needs to be done gradually. But it will happen.

I would also like to mention angstrom minerals. These are perhaps the easiest minerals to assimilate. They are 100% water soluble. They will provide the extra needed minerals for you son to heal. I use mother earth minerals from http://www.meminerals.com But I have heard that water oz minerals are just as good and a lot less expensive, so I would look into those first. I plan on trying those soon.

good luck!

feel free to ask anymore questions.

Be very careful if you use the Barefoot Dewormer. It is in a syrup that may cause some fluctuations in blood sugar. Ask over at the Humaworm Forum if the capsules he makes and sells would be suitable. He makes both a children's and an adult formula and you can go by the child's weight to determine dosage.

I would be VERY careful about listening to MOST of the advise given in this thread if I were you (unless you want to kill your child). If however you do want to try what they suggest, which would be fine as long as you TEST your child while doing this... and TEST OFTEN. Telling a diabetic to not take insuline is insane... you will have some time when the insuline will almost be not needed because as someone did mention there will probably be a "honeymoon period" but dont let this fool you. The insuline needs will increase as time goes on and dont let that concerne you so much that you stop giving it permanently or anything.

you cannot "cure" type one diabetes. It CANNOT be done. (I do expect a bit of a backlash from the others who posted but so be it) I dont want to be too harsh but I also dont want you to have false hope either.

I have been diabetic myself for about 24 years (I am 27 now). What I would suggest you do however is go to a website like "childrenwithdiabetes.com" and chat with other parents in their forums. I'd hang out in the Parents forum primarily if I were you cus noone really ever goes in the other ones too much. Its a very good resource for parents of the newly diagnosed and for those who have had it for a long time as well.

Good luck.
