Symptoms:

Diabetes, or Diabetes Mellitus to give it its proper medical name, is a disorder of assimilation. When the pancreases become sedentary or wasted and cease to explicate insulin, the body is weak to convert the sugar into free energy for the muscular tissues. Its central symptoms are weakness and loss of weight, great thirst and increase in the amount of urine passed. This is an accumulative appetite to the patient. Gradually turns more and more emaciated. Owing to bad energy of the tissues, various skin eruptions like boils and carbuncles materialize. There may be itching in the groins and eczema. A strategic complication could be gangrene of the skin of the feet, starting with the toes. A strange phenomenon is that the younger the patient, the more rapid is the course of the disease.

Allopathy depends generally on management of insulin to, dissolve the sugar in the blood and preventing starchy and sugary foods to the patients. Pioneering science has not been able to nail the factual cause of the disease. What is available is only generalities such as, obese persons are more vulnerable to the disease, it assaults males more than females, or that it runs in the families etc.

Treatment:

As in examples of other diseases, naturopathy recommends a diet and no drugs. The primary aim is to aid the body to ingest the sugar into the system and that can be accomplished by a special diet. I would advise about one kg of curd created from cow’s milk and varied gourds without salt. The greener the vegetables, the helpful it would be. Sour fruits like tomatoes, oranges, pineapple, rose apple (jamun), scolanum (makoy) could as well be taken with advantage. The patient can also take one or two chapattis made of flour, which has not been passed through sieve. The person struggling from diabetes must take long walks (preferably ten kilometers) daily. Remember that the disease strikes broadly on those who lead a sedan effort life, and are victimized to a rich diet.

Cereal and sugar preparations should not be considered for some time. The other method of treating the disease is by fasting for a couple of days and then eating sour fruit only for a week during which green vegetables may also be switched with the fruits. Curd made from cow’s milk must form and inevitable part of the every meal. If the curd is not available, about 50 grams of sprouted gram may be taken with every meal. After about two weeks of this regimen, the patient can consider bread made of whole flour.

Diabetics must take physical work to use the blood sugar. Walking, preferably jugging is an advisable exercise I can advocate. Hipbath recommended by Kunhe is highly beneficial in the case of diabetes, especially for patients suffering from stultification. For a rubbery skin that most diabetes develops, the best exercise is energetic rubbing of the skin with a rough towel for fifteen minutes before a bath with cold water.

Allopaths urges a sugar face-free diet to the diabetic, dictates a superior protein diet like fish, eggs, meat and lentils leading to instability in his food. Notifying patients to take saccharine instead of sugar, the allopaths discover them to the danger of sluggish poisoning. The subtle effects of saccharine have recently been observed.

The diabetic must also try to remain cheery and keep his balance. There are some asans recommended by yoga specialists which have proved helpful in dealing with the disease.
