WHAT CAUSES DIABETES

I take acupuncture seriously - and alternate medical system's powerful healing ways has induced a lot of skepticism in me. It has reinforced the view that allopathy is not as scientific as it is made out to be. Let me give you an example. I just searched for "causes of diabetes" in google and landed up in the following link "http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/causes/"  I am reproducing it below for your benefit. Please read my view AFTER this excerpt.

The two main types of diabetes are type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. A third type, gestational diabetes, develops only during pregnancy. Other types of diabetes are caused by defects in specific genes, diseases of the pancreas, certain drugs or chemicals, infections, and other conditions. Some people show signs of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. 

What causes type 1 diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin due to the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. In type 1 diabetes—an autoimmune disease—the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells. Normally, the immune system protects the body from infection by identifying and destroying bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful foreign substances. But in autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body’s own cells. In type 1 diabetes, beta cell destruction may take place over several years, but symptoms of the disease usually develop over a short period of time.

Type 1 diabetes typically occurs in children and young adults, though it can appear at any age. In the past, type 1 diabetes was called juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) may be a slowly developing kind of type 1 diabetes. Diagnosis usually occurs after age 30. In LADA, as in type 1 diabetes, the body’s immune system destroys the beta cells. At the time of diagnosis, people with LADA may still produce their own insulin, but eventually most will need insulin shots or an insulin pump to control blood glucose levels.

It APPEARS logical. Is it not? Let us analyze.

Lack of Insulin is the reason. Why?

Bcos autoimmune disease knocks off beta cells. Why? This is the important "why" but it is not even attempted.

Why does autoimmune disease knock off beta cells?
What causes this autoimmune disease?
Why was this disease not attacking the beta cells earlier? Or What was preventing the destruction of beta cells upto the point of time when destruction started happening?
Why it attacks only the beta cells and not any other cells? Is it beta-cell targetting auto immune disease?

TRUST ME - ALLOPATHY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.

IF this reason can be found out - then diabetes can be cured. But unfortunately, if a cure is invented, then a huge business of selling diabetic drugs, checkups etc will go into huge loss. In India, approximately 40% of the population is diabetic - which is roughly 48 crore people. Even if each one spends 20 rupees a day to buy diabetics medicines - it is approximately 960 crores daily business. I speak to patients and their normal monthly bill is around 3000/= If each one spends 3000 a month, then it means a business of ,Rs. 1,44,000 crores a month.

With such a huge business in place, do you seriously believe that they will find out a cure? They will NEVER find a cure. Instead, they will spend a lot of money to convince you that you need to keep taking medicines regularly (in other words - keep giving them profits regularly).
