All about DIABETES and its NATURAL CURES!!!
DIABETES:
More than 1 percent of people in the West are affected by diabetes. In America, the land of sugar and junk food, it is the direct cause of one in seven deaths.
Diabetes manifests when the body fails to regulate the metabolism of glucose via a pancreatic hormone. If the pancreatic hormones are unable to convert a sufficient amount of glycogen into glucose, then other organs — primarily the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands — will become involved, leading to their eventual decline. In some cases, diseases or dysfunction of these glands can actually result in diabetes.
If there is a history of diabetes in your family, it is advisable to take preventive action through childhood and into adulthood.
Those who have diabetes before the age of twenty-five are classed as juvenile diabetics, and it is believed that autoimmune factors may be involved in their condition. After the age of forty it is classified as late onset diabetes. Conventional treatment of the problem involves daily insulin injections, but those with less severe diabetes can measure their urine periodically and use tablets to control their blood sugar levels.
If you suffer from hypoglycemia, then be aware that it is possible for this condition to develop into diabetes if it becomes severe. High blood glucose levels (with glucose-starved cells) can lead to weight loss, thirst, and an increase in the amount of urine passed each day. If untreated, the person will begin to feel weak and can eventually pass out or even fall into a coma. Trauma, stress, and shock can push a person into late-onset diabetes.
CURE IT NATURALLY;
Three to six large cloves of garlic per day would be a minimum requirement. Garlic balances the amount of sugar in the blood by producing more insulin.
No tea, coffee, alcohol, or fruit juices should be drunk. - All sugars are to be avoided. Use instead rice syrup in minute quantities, barley malt, unrefined cane juice, and sweet herb (Stevia rebaudiana). Very occasionally you can use small amounts of raw unheated honey. Also avoid fructose, dextrose, and molasses.
Nourishing, “earthy” foods will be invaluable, but make sure you choose the right ones: seaweeds and whole grains like rice, millet, quinoa, oats, and barley are good. Avoid all processed grains. Try the sweeter vegetables, like Jerusalem artichokes, pumpkins, burdock root, onion, and parsnips. Avoid potatoes, yams, and carrots.
Avoid bread but, if necessary, eat rye bread. - Six small and easily digestible meals a day may be better than three large ones.
Oats are rich in many vitamins and minerals and are generally very nourishing. They can slow the rate of sugar metabolism, thus aiding the work of the pancreas. Organic oats are best; they can be soaked over night in springwater with cinnamon powder and eaten for breakfast.
Seaweeds, especially hijiki, normalize blood sugar levels. Cook them with whole grains and add to salads and soups. - Drink one cup of homemade barley water daily.
At least one or two apples per day are the best fruit for diabetics. Wild fruits like blackberries, bilberries, quince, and pomegranate, with their naturally sharp and bitter fl avors, are also suitable. Do not drink fruit in juiced form; the sugar content will be too high. Other suitable fruits are pears, grapefruit, grapes (in small quantities), and bananas. Bananas are known to lower blood sugar levels, but use only overripe (nearly black) ones, and have only two or three a week.
Dried figs, dates, raisins, and other dried fruits are best avoided by diabetics because of their high sugar content. If they are eaten, they must be soaked for at least twelve hours.
