My most trafficked post ever came just last weekend… Ecstasy, LSD, magic mushrooms and Cannabis aids diabetics ailments. Yes, funny huh? But my question to you is this- do you agree with using ‘natural medications’ such as Pot to help treat diabetes?

I saw the below article this morning on Comcast online and was so upset by it. I know that everyone has their own beliefs and ways of dealing with illness, but to me this is inexcusable. I apologize in advance if I said anything that offends anyone.

Taking you back to the post I wrote last Saturday about the diabetes explosion occurring in Australia, I happened to come across a program on the Discovery Health channel about diabetes. Guess what the subject matter was? You guessed it- diabetes and the Aborigine people.

“He is having pin put in his leg tonight and you know… he is a diabetic, so he won’t fare well at all”. Are you kidding me? Do these statements still exist? I get all fired up. My mother in law, no worries (she doesn’t read this), called to let us know that […]
