Homeopathy Medicine For Diabetes Type 1

Dr. Prasanta Banerji Homoeopathic Research Foundation

Diabetes & Homeopathy Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which our body’s use of food for production of energy is affected. Most of the food we eat is carbohydrates, and this is broken down by the digestive juices into a simple sugar called glucose. Glucose is the main source of energy for the body. After digestion, the glucose passes into our bloodstream where it is available for body cells to use for growth and energy. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, facilitates the entry of glucose into our cells. When we eat, the pancreas is supposed to produce the right amount of insulin to move the glucose from our blood into our cells. In diabetics, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the body cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. Due to this, glucose levels rise in the blood, floods into the urine and passes out of the body, making the body lose its main source of fuel. In one national study on diabetes completed in 1989, about 2% of the 12,000 people surveyed in Indian villages were found to be diabetic, and more alarming observation was that half of them did not know that they had diabetes. This infers that there are at least 20 million diabetics in India, which is the highest ever reported number from anywhere in the world. "…The overall incidence of diabetes was 20.2 per 1000 person years of follow up while the overall incidence of pre-diabetes was 13.1 per 1000 person years of follow up. These figures appear to be much higher than those published from the west showing once again the well known increased susceptibility of Indians to diabetes…"…Incidence Data on Diabetes from India by Shashank R Joshi* There are three types of diabetes. Type I - occurs when the pancreas produces very little or no insulin at all. Approxim Continue reading >>

Homeopathic For Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus speak of a set of ailments that have an impact on the use of glucose by the organism. Glucose is the essential ingredient for a human’s well-being. It is the largest source of the energy for the cells that build different forms of tissues as well as for the brain The individual that suffers from diabetes (regardless of type) has higher than average concentration of glucose in a blood stream that may result in serious health issues. Type 1 and type 2 represent chronic conditions that in most cases require hormone replacement therapy (injections of insulin). Prediabetes, on another hand, is a theoretically revocable change in insulin production when the concentration of the blood sugar is above normal limits, but below the point that considered as pathologically high. Another form of the so-called reversible diabetic condition is gestational diabetes, which is well-known in the obstetric clinic because it happens during pregnancy and gets healed by itself after the delivery. Type-1 diabetes Type-1, which is also known as “juvenile diabetes,” is the form of the insulin-dependent disease. The body system of the patients with Type-1 diabetes cannot fabricate insulin, which is responsible for converting the carbs from the food into energy. Type-1 diabetes takes place more often in youngsters and grown young persons and represents merely 5-10% of all diabetes sufferers in the US. Type-2 diabetes Type-2 occurs when the pancreas can synthesize insulin, however, the created and supplied to the system insulin is imperfect. Another word, the fabricated by the pancreas insulin is not high enough and to digest and convert all carbs in the bloodstream into the source of energy. Very often patients with Type-2 diabetes need no additional insulin, and their condi Continue reading >>

Diabetes Mellitus And Homeopathic Approach

DIABETES MELLITUS AND HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH Introduction Diabetes Mellitus is a condition associated with disturbance in the metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein, coupled with relative or absolute insulin deficiency. Those who are Diabetic have an increased blood sugar. It was considered to be a rich man’s disease till few years back; however, the recent surveys shows alarmingly increase in the incidence of Diabetes even in less affluent group of people. The latest estimates indicate that there are 382 million people living with diabetes worldwide. By 2035, 592 million people or one person in ten will have the disease. A further 316 million people are currently at high risk of developing type 2 Diabetes, with the number expected to increase to almost 500 million within a generation. What makes the pandemic particularly threatening is that in many of the countries, it remains undetected. Up to half of all people with diabetes globally remain undiagnosed. Diabetes is not restricted only to developed nations and is increasingly affecting the developing nations as well. It does not discriminate on the basis of nationality, gender or economic status. According to WHO, about 80 percent of diabetes deaths occur in low and middle income countries. The most intersecting aspect is that diabetes is preventable to a great extend. Another fact is that once affected, it needs long treatment, at time even throughout life with possibility of several complications. India is the diabetes capital of the world. About 40 million people are suffering from diabetes in India and the number is estimated to increase to 70 million by 2025. This suggests that every fifth diabetic in the world would be an Indian. Keeping view of the alarming rise of this disease the World Health Organizatio Continue reading >>

Homeopathic Treatment For Diabetes: Remedies To Control Blood Sugar And Nerve Damage

Diabetes is a growing concern in the world, with an estimated 30.3 million Americans suffering from it. What’s worse is that about 84.1 million Americans are thought to have prediabetes, which means their blood sugar levels are high enough to pose a risk of diabetes.1 Over time, high blood sugar can cause a range of problems from heart disease and eye problems to kidney disease and nerve damage. So what can you do to deal with diabetes? Conventionally, medication to lower your blood sugar, insulin treatment, as well as lifestyle changes like having a healthy diet and exercising regularly are recommended to help manage this condition. Natural and alternative remedies can be used to fight diabetes as well. For instance, homeopathy, an alternative medical system that originated in Germany over 200 years ago, offers many solutions for dealing with diabetes.2 Here’s a detailed look at what homeopathy recommends.3 4 Homeopathic Treatment Is Tailored To The Individual In a departure from conventional medicine, homeopathy uses a process known as “individualization” for treatment. According to this concept, a homeopathic doctor will first draw a detailed pathophysiological profile of the patient and then select a remedy based on that. They take a detailed history covering various factors like individual preferences, emotions, family history, sleep habits, and the way a person reacts mentally as well as physically to things. In other words, homeopathy treats the patient not the disease. And since treatments are tailored for each individual, different people suffering from the same medical condition may be prescribed different treatments. There is some scientific evidence that individualized homeopathic treatment can be a helpful supplement to conventional treatment for pe Continue reading >>

Homeopathic Cure Of Patient With Diabetes Type 1

Background: Type 1 (formerly Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) is usually juvenile onset but may occur at any age. It occurs when the body’s own immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (called beta cells). Normally, the body’s immune system fights off foreign invaders like viruses or bacteria. But for unknown reasons, in people with type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks various cells in the body. This usually results in a complete deficiency of insulin. Patients always need Insulin and are prone to ketoacidosis and weight loss. It is associated with other auto immune disease (> 90% carry HLADR 3 and/or DR4). Case Analysis A.R., a girl aged 6 was visited because of diabetes type 1 on Dec.19th 2012. She was referred by Dr. M.H.E. an anesthesiologist and homeopath from Germany. She was affected by the condition with urinary frequency and polydipsia since Oct. 27th 2010.

An Overview: Diabetes And Its Cure With Homeopathy

Diabetes is a metabolic disease. It is a result of the pancreas not producing sufficient insulin, or body cells not reacting accurately to the quantity of insulin produced. Diabetes is a dangerous and intricate situation; at times it results in life-altering body changes. People who suffer from diabetes have high blood glucose; it is usually identified as high blood sugar or hyperglycemia. It is good to adopt a diabetic friendly diet and physical exercise along with an effective homeopathy treatment for diabetes. Some of the best homeopathic medicines for diabetes are produced by natural elements and are free from any kind of side effects. There are two main types of diabetes; type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A third category is also common these days, Gestational diabetes which develops during pregnancy. Diabetes is caused by flaws in specific genes, diseases of the pancreas, several drugs, infections and other maladies. The Type 1 diabetes occurs in children and adults, though it can develop at any age. In type 1 diabetes immune system destroys the beta cells of the body. Heredity also plays a crucial role in determining who is destined to catch type 1 diabetes. The environment factors such as foods, viruses, toxins may play a significant part in the advancement of type 1. What causes type 2 diabetes? Type 2 is the typical kind of diabetes. Here, a body's resistance to bear insulin and a condition in which the body's muscle fat and liver cells do not use insulin create room for diabetes. It is hard for the body to generate enough insulin to remunerate the impaired ability to use insulin. It is common in middle-aged people and adults who are likely considered as overweight. The main reasons for the development of type 2 diabetes are: Obesity and physical inactivity History Continue reading >>

Diabetes Mellitus

Janet Gray explains how homeopathy can contribute to the management of this condition, improving quality of life and helping to control complications Diabetes mellitus* is a condition in which the normal mechanism of the body for controlling the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood stream has gone awry. A hormone called insulin, which is produced by the pancreas, is responsible for controlling the movement of sugar, in the form of glucose, across from the blood stream into the individual cells of the body. Intracellular glucose is the “fuel” of the cells, without which they cannot work. In diabetes, either the pancreatic beta cells fail, and thus insulin is not produced; or the body become insensitive to the action of insulin with the same end result. So diabetes is really a condition of “starvation in the midst of plenty” where the glucose piles up in the blood stream and spills over into the urine, but the individual cells are starved of glucose. In the case of pancreatic beta cell failure, insulin is the only possible treatment, and must be given regularly by injection. This type of diabetes is known as type 1 diabetes or formerly “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus”. Let me say at this point that there is no homeopathic alternative to insulin, although some remedies may help to reduce the insulin requirements. People with type 1 diabetes are often quite young at the time of diagnosis, and will often have lost a lot of weight before diagnosis is made. In the case of the cells being resistant to insulin, management can often be achieved by a healthy diet, regular physical activity, drugs and sometimes insulin – this is type 2 diabetes and used to be known as “non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus”. These people are often in their middle years at Continue reading >>

Homeopathy

Tweet Homeopathy treatment is based on the use of highly diluted substances. Scientific research has shown homeopathic medicine to have no evidence of benefit beyond a placebo effect. Homeopathy should not be taken to treat any health condition including any type of diabetes or diabetes related complications. It must not replace any prescription medication you are currently taking. What is homeopathy? Homeopathy was developed in Germany and has been used for more than 200 years. A homeopath will select the most appropriate medicines for you based on your symptoms, then heavily dilute and shake these substances in water. Whilst practitioners claim these substances can be used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, research shows no scientific evidence that the treatments are any better than using a placebo. A placebo effect is when people experience a benefit that is psychological and not brought on by any therapeutic effect of the medication. Does homeopathy work? There is no evidence to support the use of homeopathy for treating medical conditions. In the UK, the House of Commons' Science and Technology Committee called for the NHS to withdraw funding of homeopathy; concluding that there was no evidence that homeopathy works beyond a placebo effect. The British Medical Association supports the view that homeopathy is not supported by evidence and therefore should not be funded on the NHS. [280] It is not only the UK that has found no scientific basis for homeopathy. The Australian Government’s National Health and Medical Research Council states in a 2015 review: “Based on the assessment of the evidence of effectiveness of homeopathy, NHMRC concludes that there are no health conditions for which there is reliable evidence that homeopathy is effective. “Homeopathy s Continue reading >>

Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a condition that occurs when the body can't use glucose normally means increased level of glucose in the blood.. The levels of glucose in the blood are controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is made by the pancreas. Insulin helps glucose enter the cells. In diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough insulin, that is type 1 diabetes or the body can't respond normally to the insulin that is made, that is type 2 diabetes. This causes glucose levels in the blood to rise, leading to symptoms such as increased urination, extreme thirst, and unexplained weight loss. Blood sugar levels: Fasting blood sugar (FBS)-70-100mg/dl-Normal FBS-101-126mg/dl-Early diabetes FBS-more than 126mg/dl-Diabetes FBS-below 70mg/dl-Hypoglycemia FBS-less than 50mg/dl-Insulin shock Post prandial blood sugar (PPBS)-70-140mg/dl-Normal PPBS-140-200mg/dl-Early diabetes PPBS-more than 200mg/dl-Diabetes Random blood sugar (RBS)-70-140mg/dl-Normal RBS-more than 200mg/dl-Diabetes Types of Diabetes mellitus: Type 1 diabetes Type 2 diabetes Gestational diabetes Surgically induced diabetes Chemically induced diabetes Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) 1.

Diabetes Mellitus(DM) in simple terms means high level of sugars in due to failed glucose metabolism. All the cells in human body for energy require Glucose and requires Insulin hormone for glucose utilization. Insulin hormone is produced by beta cells situated in the endocrine part of the pancreas. Any disorder in this metabolic process or disease of the pancreas will lead to Diabetes disorders. Diabetes is a systemic disease and in long term will cause many complications and also lead to other dangerous diseases, so the basic knowledge about Diabetes is must. As Diabetes is on a raise, knowing the causes of Diabetes is important. A single cause is not responsible for Diabetes but multiple causes/factors act together and trigger the mechanisms responsible for Diabetes.

It is a set of symptoms which shows us the increased level of sugar in the blood. It happens because of the deficiency or inactivity of hormone “insulin”. Insulin is necessary to monitor or maintain the glucose metabolism of the body. Type 1 Diabetes is frequently seen in children though it can also affect the adults. It is spreading in the whole world. If we will not pay heed to it, it may lead to a serious condition. We have homeopathic medicine for diabetes whether it is type 1 or 2. Causes of Type 1 Diabetes It may occur because of the decreased production of “Insulin” by the pancreas. It happens because of the loss of insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Auto-immunity is another cause of IDDM where the body defense mechanism starts attacking their own organs and tissues. Genetic factors are also holding the main role to alter the immunity. You can face type 1 Diabetes by some viral infections and stress-related environmental factors etc. Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes Polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst), Polyphagia (excessive hunger/appetite) are the basic symptoms.

Homeopathic Medicine For Relief From Diabetes Mellitus

Calling this article homeopathy for diabetes is somewhat misleading, since I continually stress the fact that homeopathy does not cure diseases. Homeopathy cures people. Homeopathic treatment does not target one illness, an organ, a body part or a symptom. Remedies are prescribed based on an assembly of presenting symptoms, who the person is, and how he or she experiences and copes with their stresses in life. Treating diabetes is no different. Diabetes is experienced differently by each sufferer, with the only common denominator being elevated blood sugar levels. In fact, your homeopath will likely give you the same remedy whether or not you tell them you were diagnosed with diabetes. I’m sure every homeopath has experienced a patient who has come back for the second or subsequent visit and reported the disappearance of a significant symptom they never reported in the first place. One of my diabetes patients is a prime example. The reason for Alicia’s visit was her life-long battle with fatigue. In order to have sufficient energy to get through the day, she swallowed a fist-full of vitamins, drank herbal tinctures, exercised every morning and tried to eat light meals, but never past 6pm. Deviating from this routine would leave her feeling exhausted and unmotivated. During our first meeting, I asked my customary questions about her fatigue, energy level, sleep, appetite, personality, temperament and so on. Homeopathic Phosphoric Acid was the suitable remedy for Alicia. She reported more energy and motivation during each subsequent visit. She was sleeping deeper, felt happier, and was socializing more. During her fourth visit several months later, Alicia told me her medical doctor was weaning her off insulin. Surprised and excited by this new revelation, I searched h Continue reading >>

No Need To Fear Diabetes

No need to fear DIABETES THE BEST STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION AND THERAPY S U G A R Never before have we consumed as much sugar as we do now. Which is part of the reason why diabetes mellitus is becoming more and more of a problem. Even children are suffering from an acquired insulin deficiency, type 2 diabetes – often as a result of dietary errors. Endurance sports and a healthy diet are the best actions to protect yourself from getting diabetes. Measuring your blood sugar levels regularly is important in order to keep a dangerous increase or decrease (hypoglycemia) under control. More and more people are developing type 2 diabetes, the so-called adult-onset diabetes. In comparison to type 1, it affects the majority of all people suffering from diabetes, that is, 90 % in Canada and 85 % in the U.S. And there is a high number of unrecorded cases. Therefore, education is more important than ever. Because the more you know about this disease, the less it will scare you. Type 2 diabetes is a disease that develops primarily as a result of dietary errors, excess weight and lack of exercise. As opposed to type 1 which is congenital, it is possible to prevent its onset. The connection between a person’s lifestyle and this metabolic disorder has become so obvious that some even refer to diabetes as a lifestyle disease. While in the past these relationships were simply not discussed, the first and primary goal should be prevention. Because the most commonly occurring form of diabetes – type 2 diabetes – is avoidable, and can be healed in many cases. This type of diabetes used to be called adult-onset diabetes. But medical professionals no longer like this term. Because in the meantime, approx. 90 percent of all diabetes cases are type 2, with more and more young people bei Continue reading >>

Your diabetes healthcare team will focus on these three areas to help you achieve optimum health: Nutrition Physical Activity Medications People with diabetes, deal with health problems every single day. If diabetes is poorly controlled or left untreated, it may lead to blindness, kidney disease, blood vessel damage, infection, heart disease, nerve damage, high blood pressure, stroke, limb amputation, and coma. We give you the list of home remedies for diabetes that includes food remedies for weight control and blood sugar levels. Diabetes Management The main goal of diabetes management is, as far as possible, to restore carbohydrate metabolism to a normal state. To achieve this goal, individuals with an absolute deficiency of insulin require insulin replacement therapy, which is given through injections or an insulin pump. Keeping your blood sugar levels within the range recommended by your doctor can be challenging. That's because many things make your blood sugar levels change, sometimes unexpectedly. Following are some factors that can affect your blood sugar levels. Food - Diet for Diabetics Make a diabetes meal plan with help from your health care team. Choose foods that are lower in calories, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, and salt. Eat foods with more fiber, such as whole grain cereals, breads, crackers, rice, or pasta. Choose foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, bread and cereals, and low-fat or skim milk and cheese. Drink water instead of juice and regular soda.
