The relationship of biology, medicine, and politics - If 8.4 Million Americans with Diabetes Were Denied Access to Insulin Like In MOTHER '?' AFRIKKKA.


In Western countries, type 2 diabetes has been increasing among white populations, particularly due to sedentary lifestyles, high-calorie diets, and obesity. Type 1 diabetes, which is more linked to autoimmune factors, is actually more common in white populations than in many other groups.


The human body is a circus of biological engineering, but even the most finely tuned systems can get messed up. For the 8.4 million Americans who rely on insulin to manage diabetes, this life-sustaining hormone is not a luxury—it is a necessity. 

Without it, the body’s delicate balance unravels, and the countdown to mortality begins. The timeline to death, however, is not uniform. 


It is a harrowing spectrum dictated by the type of diabetes, the severity of the condition, and the body’s residual capacity to produce insulin. What would happen if insulin were suddenly inaccessible to these millions? The answer is both urgent and unsettling.



Type 1 Diabetes: A Matter of Days

For individuals with Type 1 diabetes, the stakes could not be higher. This autoimmune condition obliterates the body’s ability to produce insulin, rendering patients entirely dependent on exogenous insulin for survival. Without it, the body’s cells cannot absorb glucose, leading to a catastrophic cascade of metabolic derangements.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the inevitable outcome. As blood sugar levels skyrocket, the body begins to break down fat for energy, releasing toxic ketones into the bloodstream. The result is a life-threatening trifecta of acidosis, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and confusion rapidly progress to coma and, ultimately, death. For those with Type 1 diabetes, the timeline from insulin deprivation to mortality is measured in days to a week—a stark reminder of the fragility of their condition.



Type 2 Diabetes: A Slower, Yet Inevitable Decline

The trajectory for individuals with Type 2 diabetes is less immediate but no less dire. Unlike their Type 1 counterparts, many people with Type 2 diabetes retain some degree of insulin production. This residual capacity can delay the onset of acute complications, but it is far from a reprieve.

Without supplemental insulin, blood glucose levels rise unchecked, leading to hyperglycemia. Over time, this persistent elevation wreaks havoc on the body’s systems. Cardiovascular complications, renal failure, neuropathy, and vision loss become increasingly likely. For some, the timeline to severe health consequences or death could span weeks to months, depending on the severity of their disease and their ability to mitigate blood sugar spikes through diet, oral medications, or other interventions. However, for those with advanced Type 2 diabetes or significant insulin deficiency, the outcome would mirror that of Type 1 diabetes, with DKA and death occurring within a similarly abbreviated timeframe.





A Public Health Catastrophe in the Making

The denial of insulin to 8.4 million Americans would not merely be a medical crisis—it would be a public health catastrophe. The sheer scale of the population affected underscores the critical role insulin plays in sustaining life. For those with Type 1 diabetes, the situation is particularly dire, as their survival hinges on uninterrupted access to this hormone. For individuals with Type 2 diabetes, the consequences, while delayed, are equally devastating.

This scenario is not merely hypothetical. It serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of affordable and equitable access to insulin. In a world where pharmaceutical pricing and healthcare disparities already place undue burdens on patients, the prospect of insulin deprivation is a chilling thought experiment with real-world implications.

The fragility of life for those dependent on insulin is a evidence to the relationship of biology, medicine, and societal responsibility. Ensuring that insulin remains accessible to all who need it is not just a matter of policy—it is a moral imperative.

Complex layers of human social behavior. Could it be that these are subconscious echoes of ancestral encounters between us modern Humans- Homo_Sapiens ALIAS '' Homo diddyoil'' and Homo_Neanderthals?

  What if some of the traits we see in people from Europe, Africa, and Asia—particularly in India [ Dalits or their so called Black untouchables] —are in today's world of free education / much improved scientific chivalry and honesty from even European/ Arab/ Asian ETC scientists blatant manifestations of deeply embedded Neanderthal genetics, subconsciously influencing behavior even today? Does the intelligence of anyone who thinks this has no basis or who finds this deduction totally illogical need to be questioned, scrutinized before God, Man and Data.   One striking example is the town of Orania in South Africa, a place where racial segregation continues as you read, and Black residents are notably absent despite being in the heart of a predominantly Black continent.  Orania is in South Africa which is a country, a prominent country in Africa. While this isn't an attempt to cast blame solely on the so described and titled separately, the separatists called Oranian...

Elon Musk Is the Perfect FAKE White Man: The Epitome of FAKE White Mentality—This Is Why FAKE White People Hate Him (Beyond His Wealth). The Ancestors Sent Him to Expose the Nature They Have Killed Us for, ''FOR''... Merely Highlighting Since They Came From The Caves Of Planet Closet Nazis..

For centuries, white people have built a global myth —the idea that Black men are irresponsible fathers, abandoning their children, leaving broken homes. This lie has been used to justify every racist policy imaginable, from mass incarceration to economic disenfranchisement. It has been a psychological weapon to strip Black men of dignity while upholding whiteness as the moral standard. But now, in the year 202X, the perfect white man—the whitest of them all —has arrived to shatter their carefully constructed illusion. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, a walking monument to white entitlement, is proving that white men have always been the blueprint for reckless reproduction, strategic neglect, and the abandonment of their own blood. He has fathered at least 11 children with multiple women, scattered them across the world like colonial outposts, and yet—where is the white outrage?  Where is the global condemnation that Black men face for merely existing?  Where are the...

Supercavitation: UAV's, Whatever's Zipping Through Our Skies, Time Dilation [ Travel ] Drag Cancellation And Jump Rooms/ Jump Points Technology

 Technology, Time, and Mystery: Are UFOs Hiding in Plain Physics? The world of cutting-edge technology and unexplained stuff often converge in  bat shit crazy ways, leading to provocative questions about the limits of our understanding.  Take, for instance, the principle of supercavitation, a technological grey-out used in high-speed underwater weaponry. This innovation creates a gas bubble around a projectile, drastically reducing drag and enabling astonishing speeds. Imagine applying this principle not to torpedoes slicing through water, but to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) zipping through our skies and beyond. Could similar mechanisms—on an entirely different scale—explain some of the irrational, nowadays unavoidable reported global cases of UFO sightings? Supercavitation: Redefining Speed Supercavitation technology, seen in devices like Russia’s VA-111 Shkval torpedo, shows how innovation can defy conventional limitations. By creating a "bubble" of air around an ...
