    Somebody is claiming that the King James version of the bible describes a cure for diabetes which surprises chagrins atheists & doctors.

    Years ago, I had a King James bible originally owned by my mother, which got lost or left behind when I moved many years ago.

    The claimant did not quote the biblical passage which is alleged to be on page 1117.

    I think it is in the book of Daniel.

    Does anyone have a copy of the King James bible?

    I would like to know the contents of page 1117.

    It's a vegetarian/ vegan diet. I don't know why you would think atheists are surprised, people have known that rich food causes health problems forever.

    In the one I'm looking at:

    The Books of the Old Testament has 627 pages.

    The Books of the New Testament has 194 pages.

    A "cure"? Or just the suggestion to keep a Kosher diet?

    I would expect a vegan diet to cure gout or at least lessen the symptoms.

    Not sure why it would help diabetes, unless it suggests avoiding foods high in sugar content

    A vegetarian diet will, by its nature, contain foods with low glycemic index. (It's not the amount of sugar; it's the rate of conversion)

    Unless it includes lots of sweet fruit or juice.

    Do you seriously think every King James bible has the same page 117?

    They just go by Chapter and Verse. Also this Biblical diabetes cure is a huge spam scam, preying on gullible fat theists (basically most Americans).

    Foolish of me: I guess I was not thinking.
