An ulcer can be viewed as a consequence of body degeneration. Ulceration can occur with any body tiisue, but the usual connotation of ulcers has to do with the skin. Tissues are distroyed. the body ulcerated, forming an outlet for the poisonous buildup. The toxic sufferer experiences a multiplication and worsening of symptoms while the pain intensifies.
Modern medical practice is usually to continue drugging, and often commence with surgery and other forms of treatment at this stage. Remember, diabetic foot complications are the most common cause of nontrauma-based lower extremity amputations in the industrialized world. Neuropathy, a major etiologic component of most diabetic ulcerations, is present in more than 82 percent of diabetic patients with foot wounds. The incidence og gangrene is twenty times higher as compared to nondiabetics, and the risk of lower extremity amputation is fifteen to forty-six times higher in diabetics than in people who do not have diabetes mellitus.

Stage 4: Inflammation
The enervated body is now suffering the results of toxemia. The cells have initially become irritated. The next step of cellular changes and body degeneration is inflammation. The inflammation process produces the common "-itis". With skin it is dermatitis. In the throat it may be tonsillitis and, further on, esophagitis. In the stomach we find gastritis. In the small intestine, ileitis. In the colon, colitis. The heart may have carditis. With the liver it is hepatitis. You can have an inflammation ( an-itis) anywhere in the body.
The medical community has named many of the 20,000 distinctly different diseases. Allopathic practice tends to name the disease after the site where the toxins have accumulated and precipitated their symptoms. Once the set of symptoms is named, doctors usually prescribe pharmaceuticals at Stage 4, which do not remove the underlying causes that we are now familiar with. With diabetes and its complications, we see this stage of disease in the heart, kidneys, pancreas, liver, and nervous system. By allowing the accumulation of toxemia to advance, the body will continue to decline in energy and vitality. Further cellular changes will be found. Left unchecked and unheeded, the next stage of disease is ulceration.

Stage 3: Irritation
The body becomes irritated by the toxic buildup in the blood, lymph, and tissues, and the interstitial space between the cells begins to resemble a toxic waste dump. The cells and tissues where buildup occurs are irritated by the toxic nature of the waste, resulting in inflammation. The waste products interfere with the proper oxygenation and feeding of the cells as well as causing the accumulation of excess water in the tissues. Pain signals coming from the tissues have at least three causes: lack of oxygen, lack of nutrition ( cellular food), and pressure. The cells, subjected to the lack of oxygen, the lack of food, and the increased pressure from the retained water, begin to send out pain signals. The cells are hence irritated. The conventional answer is either to ignore the pain and discomfort, or to take a "pain" pill, adding more to the toxic burden as the sufferer continues living in the same manner. The toxic sufferer can feel exhausted, queasy, irritable, itchy, even irrational and hostile. This leads to the next stage of disease and body degeneration, inflammation.

Stage 2: Toxemia
The stagnation of Stage 1 leads to the buildup of toxins in the body, and these substances begin to saturate the blood, lymph, and cells. Stage 2 is typified by sluggish energy, and in the case of diabetes, we already have cells that are developing the preconditions for being insensitive to the signaling of insulin due to their toxic state. John Tilden writes in the chapter "Toxemia" in Herbert Shelton's The History of Natural Hygeine:
"The toxin theory of the healing art is grounded on the truth that toxemia is the basic source of all diseases. So sure and certain is this truth that I do not hesitate to say that it is by far the most satisfactory theory that has been advanced in all the history of medicine. It is a scientific system that covers the whole field of cause and effect-a system that synthesizes with all knowledge, hence a true philosophy.
When this truth first began to force itself upon me, years ago, I was not sure but that there was something wrong with my reasoning. I saw that it would bring me very largely in opposition to every established medical treatment. I held back, and argued with myself....I fought to suppress giving open utterance to a belief that would, in all probability, cause me to be hissed at-subject me to the jeers and gibes of the better class of people, both lay and professional.
Little by little I have proved the truth of my theory. I have tried it out daily for the past twenty years. I myself have personally stood the brunt of my experimenting, and have willingly suffered because of it. Every day this trying-out of the theory has convinced me more and more that toxemia is the universal cause of disease.
As has been stated continuously in my writings for the past dozen years, the habits of overeating, overclothing, and excesses of all kinds use up nerve energy. When the nerve supply is not equal to the demands of the body, organic functioning in impaired, resulting in the retention of waste products. This produces toxemia."
Common sources of toxemia include various exogenous and endogenous toxins, which will now be recognizable as the diabetogenic pre-conditions for diabetes.
Endogenous toxins include:
*Metabolic waste, ongoing, toxic byproducts on the cellular level
*Spent debris from cellular activity
*Dead cells
*Emotional and mental distress and excess
*Physical fatigue, distress, and excess
Exogenous toxins include:
*Unnatural food and drink
*Natural foods deranged by cooking, refining and preserving
*Improper food combinations that result in endogenous toxins
*Medical, pharmaceutical, herbal, and supplemental drugging
*Tobacco, alcohol, and all forms of recreational drugging
*Environmental, commercial, and industrial pollutants
*Impure air and water

I can't seem to keep up with this blog. It's been two months, but I'm back.
This is taken from the book by Gabriel Cousins; There is a Cure For Diabetes
Stage 1: Enervation
Enervation is the reduction of nerve energy, by which the body's normal maintenance and elimination functions are impaired, especially in terms of the elimination of endogenous and exogenous toxins, those created from within ( through normal metabolic processes) and from without ( in modern times including the 65,000 human-made toxins in our environment, and the excitotoxins, food additives, and toxins created by the cooking and processing of food). A person who is enervated is generally inactive, living in a toxic environment and consuming toxins that are not being released from the body in a timely manner.
Enervation is also created by stress, which uses up the vital energy in the body that would be applied to maintenance and elimination. Constipation occurs in the bowel, lymph, and tissues of the body. This is the diabetogenic diet and lifestyle we have been illistrating through out this book.
