***UK Diabetes Support Appeal - Raise money and it will not

Darren · Joined: 26 Jul 2007 Posts: 2

Hi,

Firstly, let me apologise for cross posting this email, but this is
definitely on topic and hopefully with enough exposure should be of great
help to the diabetic people of the UK.

My name is Darren and my daughter was diagnosed type 1 in February this
year. Don't ask me how we're doing - it's kind of a rollercoaster ride but
overall I think we are riding pretty well. My own personal anguish has been
feeling like I am unable to do anything more than just be there to help my
daughter. Guilt? For those parents who have kids with diabetes you will
know this one. On the good days - you are fully aware that you are not to
blame and it is just one of life's unfortunate things.... on the bad
days.... you try to blame yourself, you want to take this condition away or
least do what you can to ease things right? Part of our step to
understanding and living with diabetes has been to call upon the wonderful
support available at Diabetes UK as well as our local support group. Our
local diabetic care is actually with good considering we do not have a
dedicated diabetic nurse due to staffing problems (this will change soon -
we are hoping!). As a result we are leaning on out local support group a
lot and they have been very helpful to us.

We continue living with diabetes and growing stronger in dealing with the
problems that arise but in a bid to do more to help - help the support and
resources available and the research into a better future, I have set up
collections campaign (associated with recyclingappeal.com) and I want your
rubbish! - well your old printer cartridges and toners as well as any old
mobile phones you are just going to throw away.

It won't cost you a thing! -

If you or your business wish to help, I can send you some FREEPOST address
bags which will accept about 6 items or if you are able to collect 20
or more items, I can arrange FREE courier collection.

If you can help - that would be really great. Each item, depending on make,
can raise up to £4.50 each. You may be going to throw these out anyway, so
why not help support a good cause as well as help the environment instead!

Please email me at info@connect2biz.co.uk if you are able to help or to find
out more. I have put these details on my own comapny website
www.connect2biz.co.uk so you can find out a little more.

I have arranged with recyclingappeal.com that monies raised will be split
between Diabetes UK and our local support group and cheques are paid direct
to them.

I hope that nobody is offended by my post or take this as spam. This is
totally genuine. Should you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks
Darren

Hi,

I know it's not the end of the world, far from it. My daughter is 8 now.
Back in February when diagnosed, she had collapsed, very close to coma - at
the time.... this really was bad. Ever since, we have been dealing day to
day and my daughter is doing extremely well, managing her own injections and
asking questions on her worries. We do have bad days though - surely that's
understandable? We recently attended a family support weekend and the tears
we saw and shared there certainly indicated that feeling guilty that somehow
you may have inflicted this on your own child was something that many
parents had at least felt at some point. As said though, these feelings are
on our bad days which are getting fewer now but do still occur. On the
other 'good' days we think straight and know full well that it is all just
part of life and not the end of the world. And rollercoaster is pretty
true - my daughter has really positive days but occasionally she just cries
and cries, again this is improving but heartbreaking for us to watch.

As I am still learning lots and wanting to do what I can to support the
cause, the collection idea came about, I myself, throw many cartridges away
and thought I may as well do something simple like this to generate some
fundraising. It also giving my daughter something to focus on. She has her
school involved, and a collection bin there which is good. It is all new
but we have raised over £60 so far and until now I have not done any
promotion. I knew that once I started approaching the web, it may look like
spam but it sure isn't. And since the monies I raise split between DUK and
out local group some people may not want to help...but there's nothing
stopping them doing something similar and setting up an account to raise
money for their local support groups. It's all very simple.....the people
at recyclingappeal.com collect your cartridges etc free and send cheques,
payable to whom you set up.

Am happy to discuss anything further with anyone, on or off the group.

Thanks
Darren

I am not answering about raising money. I'm just concerned for
diabetic and I've lectured twice in the UK. So many times aspartame
is pushed on them (Canderel/E951) and this no doubt has caused the
epidemic of diabetes. Aspartame can precipitate diabetes, aggravates
and stimulates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, keeps blood sugar
out of control, destroys the optic nerve and can cause diabetics to go
into convulsions. It also interacts with insulin.

H. J. Roberts, M.D. is a diabetic specialist and was selected as the
Best Doctor in the US in l984. He has now published a 1038 page
medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic,
www.sunsentpress.com (in the US 1 800 827 7991) It has a large
chapter on aspartame and diabetes and the problems it causes. Also,
aspartame can trigger an irregular heart rhythm and interacts with all
cardiac medication - discussed in the medical text. It damages the
cardiac conduction system and can cause sudden death. People are
actually dropping dead from this deadly neurotoxin. Even Tony Blair,
a Diet Coke user has experienced the cardiac problems and his wife has
been notifed.

On www.dorway.com , scroll down to experts and read Dr. Roberts
paper, aspartame and diabetes and hypoglycemia. Also read the 16
pages in the Diabetic Journal of India by Dr. Barua on this web site.

You can go to www.wnho.net and read Dr. James Bowen's paper on
aspartame and cardiomyopathy. There is also the press release on
President Bush who is an aspartame victim too.

If you have used aspartame you can read neurosurgeon Russell
Blaylock,M.D.,'s paper, What to do if you have used aspartame.

Aspartame is a chemical hypersensitization agent and even interacts
with fluoride and vaccines.

When you follow the link Peter C gives, you have to click on 'Newsletters'
at the side and then goto October 2003 issue. If you then search for
'aspartame' you will find a story that some one had posted in that 'after
stopping using aspartame a reader claims that all sorts of aches and pains
had stopped'. As they say in the article there is much debate about
aspartame especially in America so they asked *if* any one with similar
claims can write in they possible will look into it. Please note the word
*if* because Peter C did not see it. I do wish you would learn how to read
Peter.
The trouble is by trying to get brownie points against IDDT Peter C gives
publicity to some spam that should have been ignored and reported.

He`s off again! What exactly do you have against your allies, Peter? They
are in the fight against diabetes, same as the rest of us.

Oh gee, I just had a feeling that Mad Betty would be paying us a visit soon
since "someone" dropped a little innocent sounding Aspartame question over
on the diabetic food NG. Run along now. We don't need to read more of your

It must be a new complication I never heard of before - the immune system
attacking the sense of hunour. (Hint for Alan, that is also a joke.)
