Are Technology And Diabetes Linked?

This may very well be the case. If we look back to 1985 we would see that 30 million people across the globe suffered from diabetes. This then increased to a whopping 171 million by the year 2000. Furthermore, it is expected to more than double to a staggering 366 million by 2030. So what is the reason behind this? Doctors would have us think that is due to poor diet and exercise, which might well be a contributing factor in some cases, yet could technology and our modern way of living actually be doing an even greater deal of damage?

If doctors are so sure that diet and lack exercise are the cause and so unwilling to look at other reasons, then perhaps they should to consider the number of Chinese people with diabetes. With 92 million diabetics, China is now home to the most cases worldwide, overtaking India. The change is happening very quickly. If the one major cause is supposedly diet then we must look at how the Chinese diet changed over the years. And the truth is, it has barely changed. Most of the people do not eat all the added salt and sugar that Western diets have, and parts of China don’t even have access to this kind of food so eat very traditional diets. It is the same where India is concerned. Therefore, diet simply cannot be the exclusive cause of diabetes. They absolutely must be another factor, which could very well be technology.

It has been suggested in a scientific paper than “dirty electricity” is to blame. This refers to man-made electromagnetic fields caused by modern day technology. In a 2008 study by Magda Havas it is suggested that as well as Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, doctors should look at a third type. She says that this Type 3 diabetes is triggered by electromagnetic waves and can be aggravated depending on levels of exposure. During her study she tested a man with Type 2 diabetes over a week long period. It was discovered that his glucose levels were not affected by what food he ate, but by his working environment. This is because his glucose levels rose significantly having been in the doctors clinic where there were five computers emitting electromagnetic waves. When away from the building these levels reduced dramatically. Another study also showed levels being affected when in the gym. So places with a high number of electrically powered machines are a clear trigger.

It is by no means being suggested that everyone to get rid of things like mobile phone, television and computers to solve the problem, as they are vital aspects of daily lives for many of us now. Nevertheless, there is something that could help. These are called GS filters and have been proven to reduce blood sugar levels, and therefore decrease the need for such high use of medication. GS filters are an invention that apparently reduces the amount of electromagnetism in a localised area, such as your livingroom or bedroom by simply plugging into a socket. GS filters have also been shown to reduce symptoms in other illnesses such as Multiple Sclerosis, chronic fatigue, hay fever, asthma and ADHD.

So with evidence like this it is hard not to believe that the advancement in technology and the rising number of cases of “21st Century” illnesses are not linked. Surely there must be some consequence of the way we now live which is affecting our health without us knowing. There needs to be more research in relation to electromagnetic waves to prevent the situation getting worse.
