REVERSE DIABETES

REVERSE DIABETES

Diabetes—is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough, or does not properly respond to, insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas. Insulin enables cells to absorb glucose in order to turn it into energy. In diabetes, the body either fails to properly respond to its own insulin, does not make enough insulin, or both. This causes glucose to accumulate in the blood, often leading to various complications. To prevent the complications the best way is to reverse diabetes. Information regarding diabetes and its reversal is presented below.

Whether it is possible to reverse diabetes ?

Yes.

Which type of diabetes can be reversed ?

Type II diabetes can be reversed. Both IDD ( Insulin dependent diabetes) and NIDD (Non insulin dependent diabetes ) can be reversed.

Is it necessary to reverse diabetes when blood glucose levels are under control after taking medication ?

A big yes. Because even though blood glucose level is under control , the function of controlling is done by medication and not the organs which control under normal conditions. Gradually the organs lose their functionality and drug dosage only increases and organs become more dysfunctional with every meal. Hence it is better to make the organs functional and bring the blood glucose levels to normalcy without medication.

What is the effect of long term medication to control diabetes?

Long term medication increases dosage and increases drug dependency than organ dependency. Further, persons who are non insulin dependent may become insulin dependent to maintain blood glucose level. Due to long term medication there will be many complications, they are presented in detail below.

Which are all the organs that are affected due to diabetes?

In fact when kidney, urinary bladder, spleen, pancreas and liver are less energetic glucose metabolism suffers resulting in increased blood glucose levels. Hence the right way of controlling glucose levels is by increasing the energy levels of these organs and not medication. Dysfunctional organs result in diabetes and diabetic drugs increase dysfunction of organs resulting in many problems. In fact other organs like heart, brain etc., are also affected due to diabetes.

What are the complications of long term diabetes?

Increased frequency of urination, urinary incontinence, retinopathy, neuropathy and kidney failure. Gradually it results in frigidity in women and impotence in men. Worst part is gangrene.( please see the detailed information given below).

From which stage it is reversible?

It is reversible from the worst stage of diabetes viz., gangrene.

Once it is reversed can we take normal foods?

Certainly.

After reversing diabetes can diabetes come back?

We have a defined approach to prevent recurrence of diabetes. Those who adhere to the guidelines would not get diabetes again.

Can diabetes be prevented in young persons whose parents are diabetic?

It can be prevented even if both the parents have type II diabetes.

How to reverse diabetes ?

It can be reversed by an integrated approach involving Acupuncture, Acupressure, Exercises / Yoga, Proper diet, Suitable life style changes. Duration varies from 6 months to two years depending on severity of diabetes and pulse diagnosis.

LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES

There's probably not much time in your life for wondering what's happening next weekend, let alone time to consider how having diabetes affects your future. But thinking about your diabetes a little bit now — and taking some steps to prevent problems — may make things easier down the road.
You may have wondered why doctors talk so much about keeping blood sugar levels in a healthy range. Here's why: Long-term diabetes problems — sometimes called complications — are often linked to higher blood sugar levels over a long period of time. These complications can affect several different parts of the body.
But blood sugar control isn't the only thing that determines a person's risk for diabetes complications. Other factors, like genes, can also play a role.
Many of the complications of diabetes don't show up until after many years — even decades — of having the disease. They usually develop silently and gradually over time, so even if people with diabetes aren't having any signs of complications, they may still eventually develop them.
Talking or thinking about long-term complications can be scary. And, let's be realistic, it can be hard for anyone to make changes in how they live today to decrease the risk of health problems that may not show up for decades. But it's important to start now. Reverisng your diabetes by eating right, getting regular exercise, doing suitable yoga and taking acupuncture / acupressure treatment is the best way to reduce the risk of developing complications.
What Parts of the Body May Develop Complications?
The parts of the body that can be most affected by diabetes complications are the:
eyes
kidneys
nerves
heart and blood vessels
gums
feet
4
Eye Problems
People with diabetes have a greater risk of developing eye problems, including:
Cataracts: A cataract is a thickening and clouding of the lens of the eye. The lens is the part of the eye that helps you focus on what you see. Cataracts can make a person's vision blurry or make it hard to see at night.

Doctors think that people with diabetes are more likely to develop cataracts if they have high blood sugar levels over a long period of time.
Retinopathy: Another eye problem, called diabetic retinopathy (pronounced: reh-tih-nah-puh-thee), involves changes in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. These changes happen because of damage or growth problems in the small blood vessels of the retina. Usually, changes in the retinal blood vessels don't appear before a person has had diabetes for several years. Retinopathy is more likely to become a problem in people with diabetes if they have high blood sugar levels over a long period of time, if they have high blood pressure, or if they use smoke or chew tobacco.

One reason why teens with diabetes need to have regular yearly eye exams is because people with retinopathy may not have any problems seeing at first. But if the condition gets worse, they can become blind. If a person develops retinal problems, he or she will need to visit the eye doctor more often. A person with diabetes may be able to slow or reverse the damage caused by retinopathy by improving blood sugar control, PREFERABLY BY REVERSING DIABETES.
Glaucoma: People who have diabetes also have a greater chance of getting glaucoma. In this disease, pressure builds up inside the eye, which can decrease blood flow to the retina and optic nerve and damage them. At first, a person may not have trouble seeing. But if it's not treated, glaucoma can cause a person to lose vision. The risk increases as a person gets older and has had diabetes longer.

5
Your doctor will probably check your eyes for early signs of these problems during routine exams. He or she may also recommend that you see an ophthalmologist (pronounced: opf-thul-mah-luh-jist, a doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the eye) or optometrist (pronounced: op-tah-muh-trist, a person who examines your eyes and tests your vision).
Hence keeping your blood sugar under control by reversing diabetes and avoiding tobacco may also help you avoid eye problems associated with diabetes.
Kidney Disease
When blood sugar is high, it can cause damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to kidney disease. This is sometimes called diabetic nephropathy (pronounced: neh-frah-puh-thee).
Kidney disease is more likely to happen in people who haven't controlled their blood sugar levels over a long period of time. If a person develops kidney disease, it can get worse if he or she has high blood pressure or uses tobacco.
In its early stages, kidney disease doesn't cause symptoms. Over time, though, kidney disease can cause kidney failure, which means the kidneys stop working. So kidney disease is a serious health problem.
If a person has gone through puberty and has had diabetes for several years, doctors will probably test for kidney disease about once a year. Doctors may do a urine test to measure the amount of protein called albumin (pronounced: al-byoo-mun) in the urine. If the amount of protein in the urine increases beyond a certain point, or if there are other signs of kidney disease, doctors may look at a piece of the kidney under a microscope to make sure a person really has kidney disease.
If doctors detect kidney disease early enough, the damage can sometimes be reversed with proper treatment. Doctors may tell a person with diabetic nephropathy to eat less protein. They may also prescribe medications.
If the kidney disease gets worse, a person may develop kidney failure, which requires dialysis (regular use of a machine to clean the blood as the kidneys normally would) or a kidney
6
transplant. The good news is that these days kidney disease is less likely to end up as kidney failure because of earlier detection and better treatment than in the past.
The best way to help prevent diabetic kidney disease is to keep your blood sugar levels under control by following your diabetes treatment plan and reverse diabetes. It's also important to get regular blood pressure checks and urine albumin tests .
Urinary incontinence
Persons suffering diabetes for a long time would develop a serious problem called urinary incontinence. They would not be able to hold urine. There would be a continuous leakage of urine or there would be a sudden urge to pass urine and inability to control. This results in bedwetting or sudden leakage or needs use of diapers, which results in embarassment. This problem can be overcome through reversing diabetes.
Nerve Damage
Another complication that people who have had diabetes for a long time may develop is a type of nerve damage called diabetic neuropathy (pronounced: noo-rah-puh-thee).
Diabetic neuropathy can affect nerves in many different parts of the body. The most common early symptoms of the condition are numbness, tingling, or sharp pains in the feet or lower legs.
If it's not treated, nerve damage can cause a number of problems. For example, because of the numbness, people with nerve damage might not realize that they have a cut, and it could become seriously infected before they discover it. Because nerve damage can happen anywhere in the body, problems can occur in almost any organ system, including the digestive tract, urinary system, eyes, and heart.
Doctors usually diagnose nerve damage by giving a person a physical exam. A biopsy of nerve tissue or other special tests may also be necessary. The doctor might recommend that the patient see a nerve specialist (neurologist).

7
Doctors believe nerve damage is linked to high blood sugar levels over time. So controlling blood sugar levels by reversing diabetes can help reduce a person's risk of developing this.
Heart and Blood Vessel Diseases
People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing certain problems with the heart and blood vessels. (These are called cardiovascular diseases.) Some of these problems are:
heart attack (caused by a blockage of the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart)
stroke (caused by a blockage of the blood vessels supplying the brain)
blockage of blood vessels in the legs and feet, which can lead to foot ulcers, infections, and even loss of a toe, foot, or lower leg
How well a person controls his or her blood sugar probably plays a role in heart and blood vessel problems, too. And if a person smokes, is obese, has abnormal levels of blood lipids (triglycerides or cholesterol), high blood pressure, or a family history of heart attack or stroke before age 50, he or she definitely has a higher risk of these problems.
One thing you can do to reduce your risk of cardiovascular diseases is to be a healthy weight. If you're overweight, your doctor can suggest ways to help you lose weight and stay there. The doctor may also check your blood lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides) and blood pressure regularly to be sure they're in a healthy range. Following your diabetes meal plan, getting regular exercise, and taking diabetes medications as prescribed may also help prevent or delay the development of heart and blood vessel problems. But reversing diabetes is the best way to prevent heart diseases. Smoking increases the risk of heart and blood vessel problems, as well as other diabetes complications.
Gum Disease
People with diabetes are more likely than others to develop gum disease (also called periodontal disease) because they may have:
more plaque and less saliva (too much plaque on the teeth and not enough saliva can contribute to tooth decay)

8
higher blood sugar levels (a person has more sugar in their mouth, which can also lead to tooth decay)
some loss of collagen, a protein that's in gum tissue
poor blood circulation in the gums All of these factors can contribute to gum disease. Signs and symptoms of gum disease include bleeding, sensitive, and painful gums. A person's gums may also recede (receding gums is a term that means the gum tissues no longer cover the root surfaces of teeth), or be discolored. Dentists can diagnose gum disease during regular checkups.
Foot Problems
After a person has had diabetes for many years, he or she can develop foot problems like gangrene because of poor blood flow in the feet and nerve damage.
Your doctor will check your feet for any signs of problems. You should tell your doctor about any foot problems you're having, such as ingrown toenails, calluses, and dry skin. Even if your feet just feel irritated because you've been wearing certain shoes or because you've had a minor sports injury, you should tell your doctor.
To prevent foot problems, wear comfortable shoes that fit properly and keep your toenails trimmed to the shape of the toe. Exercise, which increases blood flow to the feet, can also help keep feet healthy. Smoking can increase the risk of foot problems or make them worse.
Staying Healthy for the Long Haul
Some complications of diabetes occur after years — even decades — of having the disease, and sometimes people don't even have any noticeable symptoms. That's why it's so important to reverse diabetes .

Patients who do get confirmed with AIDS just consider this as an extended life sentence. I mean just consider what would have happened if you had got diagnosed with the disease? If you had a family the first concern would be who will take care of them when you are gone, right? Its not a disease that you can expect a cure for very soon.

Dengue Facts

2009-11-22T05:26:00.001-08:00

If there's one insect that can truly be called a pest, it's the mosquito. Incredible as it sounds, this tiny insect can cause a host of diseases ranging from malaria, filariasis, yellow fever, and encephalitis (the inflammation of the brain).

One of the most common diseases transmitted by mosquitoes is dengue and it's found in over 40 countries. Since it first appeared in Southeast Asia in the 1950s, dengue outbreaks have increased and have been reported in Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Burma, and Thailand.

Over 2.5 million people are at risk, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Millions of infections occur yearly and about 500,000 people are hospitalized because of dengue. Ninety-five percent of those affected are children.

Not all mosquitoes transmit the dengue virus. There are over 160 different species but only two cause trouble: the Aedes albopictus and more commonly, the Aedes aegypti. Only female mosquitoes bite and they're active two hours after sunrise and two hours before sunset.

Mosquitoes normally feast on nectar and plant juices. The female needs blood to nourish its eggs. It becomes infected with the dengue virus when it bites a person suffering from the disease. The infected mosquito then spreads the disease when it bites others.

"There is no way to tell if a mosquito is carrying the dengue virus, therefore people must protect themselves from all mosquito bites," warned WHO.

Dengue mosquitoes like to hide in closets and other dark places. Outside, they prefer cool and shaded areas such as school grounds, park, and malls. The female breeds in anything that holds stagnant water like barrels, drums, old tires, pots, flower vases, bottles, roof gutters, refrigerator drip pans, and other places that collect rainwater.

Many factors contribute to the spread of dengue. These include climate changes brought about by the El Nino phenomenon, increasing urban populations, and poverty. Mosquito breeding sites have also increased due to poor water storage and sewage systems, uncollected garbage, and infrastructure projects with stagnant pools. Mass transportation has made it easier for mosquitoes to reach other areas and move infected humans.

There are two forms of dengue. Dengue fever is a severe flu-like illness that affects older children and adults but is rarely fatal. It's characterized by sudden high fever, headache, pain behind the eyes that worsens with movement, and muscle and joint pains. Later, a measles-like rash appears on the chest and upper limbs and there is nausea and vomiting.

The more severe form of the disease is dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) which is fatal in children. Its symptoms are similar to dengue fever but it causes bleeding from the nose, mouth, and gums and shock leading to death. Other signs of DHF are severe stomach pain, pale, cold or clammy skin, frequent vomiting, sleepiness, excessive thirst, rapid weak pulse, and difficulty in breathing.

And

Samambaia root is native to the rainforests located in South America as well as some of the drier forests that exist in Latin America. The plant itself is a fern in the Polypody family, which comprises in excess of 6,000 species of plants that grow in tropical regions of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. In addition there are 75 species within the Polypodium genus of plants-many of these herbal memory plants have used for medical treatments for hundreds of years. The concept of using herbs for memory improvement is certainly not a new discovery one medical science is only beginning to accept. In the past memory herbs were a part of alternative medicine that was not accepted by those in the field of traditional medicine.

Medicinal Uses

In addition to the use of Samambaia root as an herbal memory improvement option it has many other uses as well. Certainly its place in the list of herbs for memory is an important one, but memory herbs do not rank as high on the list of priorities as do herbs for other medical conditions. Some of the other ways this herb is used include the following:

* Protection of the brain cells
* Blood cleansing
* Protection of the cells of the skin
* Helps increase urine output
* Helps reduce inflammation
* Lowers blood pressure to prevent hypertension
* Relieves symptoms of psoriasis
* Stimulates the sweat glands
* Acts as an immunomodulator
* Works as a cough suppressant
* Helps reduce phlegm
* Fights free radicals in order to prevent cancer
* Has natural sunscreen properties

Chemical Composition

Samambaia root is comprised of flavonoids, alkaloids and lipids. In fact, this herbal memory plant is one of the richer sources of both lipids and fatty acids, the latter of which makes the plants essential as memory herbs. It is believed that its therapeutic properties are the result of the presence of its chemical composition. Within the active composition of these herbs to improve memory is another group of chemicals named sulphoquinovaoyldiacylglycerols. These chemicals are included in documentation and have been patents supporting their existence as the active chemical in these herbs for memory.

Several chemicals have been identified as components in the Samambaia root including adenosine, alkaloids, anachidonic acid, arabinopyranosides, calagualine, and many more including the important linoleic acids and linolenic acids that are part of the essential fatty acids and likely to be another reason these herbs are able to act as memory herbs. The presence of fatty acids within Samambaia is likely to contribute to their ability to work as herbs for memory. If you look at the relationship between fish oil, a dietary supplement containing Omega-3 and the components of this herbal memory plant family you can certainly see a favorable comparison within the chemical composition-at least as it relates to the linoleic and linolenic acids. That doesn't mean other components to not contribute to memory improvement but rather than these two chemicals are possibly the main links.
