4th annual: Are shoes the cause of diabetes?

[James Semm]

TO: All diabetes researchers, doctors, and patients.

The purpose of this yearly post is to stimulate interest and
discussion about the biomechanical effects of shoes on
"age-related" degenerative diseases, such as type-2 diabetes.
Chiropodist Dr. Simon J. Wikler pioneered efforts to
understand the influences of shoes in the 1950's, but his work
was neglected during the subsequent drug- and diet-based
approaches to medicine. However, the prolific footwear
historian and podiatrist Dr. William A. Rossi clearly
demonstrated throughout his publications that shoes influence
the posture of the human body. Therefore, using the
posture-based approaches to medicine of the distinguished
orthopedist Dr. Joel E. Goldthwait, I have expanded Dr.
Wikler's insightful work to include a variety of illnesses and
conditions whose causes remain unknown.

Diabetes is just one example of diseases that are related to
the use of footwear, because countries that use shoes heavily,
such as the United States, exhibit a high incidence, yet
countries such as Japan that minimize the use of shoes,
exhibit a lower incidence. Dr. Goldthwait actually described
case reports of diabetes controlled by improvements to posture
and body alignment alone, and in his 1952 book about posture
and disease, he writes, "The pancreas cannot be displaced, and
therefore it is subject to pressure, first by the celiac axis
as it is pulled downward by the stomach, and secondly by the
stomach itself. Dissecting-room specimens have actually shown
a groove across the body of the pancreas caused by the
pressure of the celiac axis."

for considering my novel approach.

Let me get this straight. If I start going barefoot, my
diabetes will go away? Sound of loud snickering from my
corner....

No, but if you avoid wearing shoes your entire life, you may
not get t2 diabetes. To avoid getting t1 diabetes, make sure
your parents don't wear shoes!

I love this one :D I expect I owned a pair of shoes when I was
borderline GTT when I was 10, but they were for special
occasions - most of the time I went barefoot, even to school.
These days I tend to wear shoes outside the house, but never
inside (different climate) - as I recall, many of the
Australian diabetics do the same.

Gee, on this theory perhaps women get breast cancer because
they paint their fingernails.
