no but the diabetes subsides and goes away when eating better…. again you do not have a clue as to what you are talking about.

avoiding nuts ( i.e. not ingesting them) prevents the ALLERGY from kicking in and killing you.

Modern science has associated lots of cancers with behaviors (eating certain types of foods, smoking, not exercising, etc etc) that can just as easily blame the cancer patient for their own cancer.

The body of the alcoholic (like it or not) processes alcohol differently than the body of the non alcoholic. It is an allergy of the body and an obsession of the mind.

Because you want to be cutesy and try and pretend you know something about it only makes you look small and pathetic. The alcoholic din’t want to be alcoholic any more than the cancer patient wanted to be a cancer patient.

Your arguments are really poor. What do I care if you’re foolish.

“The alcoholic din’t [sic] want to be alcoholic any more than the cancer patient wanted to be a cancer patient.”

Forget what anyone “wanted.” The alcoholic has the distinct advantage of being able to change his/her condition by deciding not to pick up the next drink.

A lung cancer patient, even one who brought about his/her disease by smoking, can’t stop the disease by not lighting up again.

Saying alcoholism is a disease akin to cancer only excuses the alcoholic’s behavior. It’s not so much a disease as an addiction due to psychological issues, and those can frequently be overcome through AA or similar. You can’t go to a support group meeting to cure cancer.
