Chakra Healing For Diabetes!

31 03 2010

   Diabetes is the end of life. Well, not literally and not always. But for many diabetics it is certainly the end of living. How will you enjoy the crunchy brown- gloden apples pies, the creamy chocolate cakes, the strawberries with cream, the delicious blueberry muffins and the mouth watering creme brules, with the threat of high blood sugar looming large?

   Many brains have tried to come up with an answer over the years. A daily blood sugar test, frequent dozes of insulin, herbal medicines and stricts diets. So much so, some companies are also engaged in building a glucose-sensing microchip that could help diabetics read their blood sugar levels without having to prick their fingers and draw blood several times a day.

   And for those who are ready to believe in unconventional forms of medicine, there is aura healing. Energy healing (aura and chakra) is one of the most profound and fundamental alternative therapies in the field of alternative medicine and holistic health. Chakras are entry gates of the aura. The word “chakra” in Sanskrit translates to wheel or disc.

   there are seven main chakra located along the spine of the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head. These chakras are constantly rotating and vibrating. The activities in them influence our body shape, glandular process, chronic physical ailments, thoughts and behaviour. When one or more chakra is blocked and the energy does not flow harmoniously through them, it  will result in imbalance that is manifested in all areas of life.

   Each chakra is expressed on the physical body in one of the endocrine glands that regulate physical and emotional processes in the body. when a person has diabetes, the following chakras will be blocked- Swadisthan, Manipur and Anahat.

   Aura healing, or pranic healing, is an ancient art or science of medicine, rediscovered by Master Choa Kok Sui from the teachings of his master Bodhisattva Padmasambhava, Master Choa, a chemical engineer and entrepreneur, is of Chinese descent, living in the Philippines.

   This type of healing is based on the belief that there is a luminous energy, or aura, surrounding every person physical body. This aura cannot be seen by the naked eye. Believers say that only those who have recieved training in this sphere can see the aura. Aura healing and chakra healing can help people with diabetes, but most practitioners advise that this is only an add-on therapy and patients should continue their medication prescribed by doctors.

   Aura healing and  chakra healing, a type of alternative medicine, is practiced by the transfer of fresh rejuvenating prana to the patient through techniques that do not involve physical contact, or the use of any instruments or drugs. It is based on the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself. Regular aura cleansing is also considered to be an effective way of preventing any ailments.



Herbs and Diabetes

30 03 2010

   Since ancient times people became ill and suffered from various ailments. People from then on relied on herbal remedies derived from herbs and spices. Herb have been used to treat many diseases including diabetes. In fact there are more than 500 herbal remedies to manage diabetes and many still continue to use these plant extracts to treat the disease.

   Sugar in the form of glucose is the main source of fuel for body cells. The hormone insulin allows glucose in blood to enter cells. In diabetes, either the body doesn’t produce enough insulin and cells are resistent to effects of insulin. If the glucose levels in the blood persist, it may damage the eyes, heart, kidneys or nerves.

   Gymrena Sylvestre is a herb derived from a tree found in India and Africa, and has been known to curb the longing for sweetness. It helps to decrease blood fats and reduces blood sugar levels. Gymrena is supposed to increase the beta cells in the pancreas.

   Cinnamon which is got from the back of a tree, has been found to increase the conversion of glucose into energy and black out free radicals. This means that diabetes complications are retarded. Research in India indicates that the effects of this herb in controlling blood sugar levels are astonishing.

   Fenugreek has been used in India for a long time as an anti-diabetes drug. The fenugreek seed power is known to significantly reduce blood glucose levels and also reduce triglycerides. 15 gms daily is seen to produce and effect especially in type 2 patient.

   Jambolan, which belongs to the species of cloves, also reduces blood sugar levels quickly and the best part is that it is virtually without any side effects. It contains alcanolic acid and hence inhibits the production of free radicals.

   Bitter melon, also known as balsam pear, is a tropical vegetable widely cultivated in Asia, Africa and South America and is extensively used in herbal medicine as a remedy for diabetes. The blood sugar lowering action of the fresh juice or extract of the unripe fruit has been clearly established in both experimental and clinical studies. Bitter melon is composed of several compounds with comfirmed anti-diabetic properties. Cheratin, extracted by alcohol, is a hypoglycaemic agent composed of mixed steroids that is more potent than the drug tolbutamide which is often used in the treatment of diabetes. Memordica also contains as insulin like polypeptide which lowers blood sugar levels when injected into type 1 diabetes patients. The oral administration of 50-60 ml of juice has shown good results in clinical trials.

   Onion extract reduces blood sugar levels during oral and intravenous glucose tolerance. 25 to 200 gms of onion extract of raw onion affects the hepatic metabolism of glucose. The additional benefit of the use of garlic and onions has a beneficial cardiovascular effect. They are found to lower lipid levels, inhibit platelet aggregation and are anti-hypertensive.

   Bitter gourd is a vegetable found in the Indian Sub Continent and its juice is found to have positive effects on elevated blood sugar levels in the body. Lutien is a dietary supplement  which contributes to eye health in general. It is found in yellow and orange fruits and is also present in dark leafy vegetables. It protects the eye cells which are important for vision.

   The search for more herbs to cure diabetes still on and nature with its bounty of natural vegetation provides the necessary raw material. It will be prudent to consult your doctor before taking any alternative form of medicine.



Qi Gong and Diabetes…

29 03 2010

   Yet another method from China is Qi Gong. This method is more than five thousand years old in practice in China. It is a unique combination of martial arts, medical technique and spiritual aid although there is no religious aspect involved. Plus it is easy to follow for people old and young. The techniques are simple and there is no specialized equipment involved. All you need to do is learn how to practice the techniques from a qualified instructor. Once you have learned the techniques you can practice Qi Gong at home regularly.

   Qi Gong is also known as Chi Kung. It was earlier known as Nei Gong before the current name of Qi Gong became widely accepted. The Chinese script use symbols for words and each may have many meanings. Qi or Chi symbol can mean air, breath, gas, anger, smell, spirit, natural force and mental status. Gong or Kung word can mean skill, effort and time. When put together Qi Gong or Chi Kung means both the signal to control body functioning and the actual control of the body functions.

   So the practice of this technique essentially involves a combination of breathing techniques, visualization exercises, focused meditation, and alert movement. Qi Gong is not specific to any disease but is a holistic approach to healing the full body. Yet this Chinese energy increasing practice is very helpful to patients. It concertrates on all three aspects of the body, mind and spirit. So when used daily the techniques do help in the stemming of the symptoms of diabetes.

   A typical Qi Gong work out would involve you getting into sync with your breathing. Awareness creating breathing techniques are taught to you to do this. This deep penetrated breathing helps to oxygenate the blood and regulate the blood sugar levels. This will also help you calm your stress levels and thus reduce any hypertension that you are suffering from as well. Some basic fitness techniques are also there to improve your physical toning of the muscles. These must also be included in each Qi Gong session. Again remember that while Qi Gong will help control the symptoms it will nut cure the disease.



Acupuncture and Diabetes…

28 03 2010

   Think of acupuncture and the sight of needles being stuck into the human body comes to mind. This ancient Chinese art is actually a well respected profession amongst alternative healers. The treatment of acupuncture needs to be carried out by a well reputed and experienced person. Do not go to a quack who might do you premanent damage, but if you have access to a genuine acupuncturist it is well worth a visit for niggling symptoms.

   The Chinese believe that the life force in the body is controlled by an energy known as Chi. This has two parts called Yin and Yang which are opposite but complementary to each other. Diabetes is seen as an imbalnce of the Yin according to the tenets of acupuncture. The deficiency in Yin leads to an imbalance in the Yin and Yang forces in the body leading to disease due to the impairment of the body’s Chi.

   The treatment of daibetes in the acupuncture system would involve a combination of needling prescriptions and dietary medicine based on the differentiation of the disease type. This analysis will involve researching the person symptom’s to determine which of the three main organs is most deficient in the Yin energy. These organs are the lungs, the kidneys and the spleen. The treatment will be a combination of upper, middle or lower burners.

   The main points that will be used are quchi, sanyinjiao, zusanli, yuj, guuanyuan, baihui and yishu. This is not to say that other points will not be used. In some acupuncture sessions up to twelve points will not be used. In some acupuncture sessions up to twelve points may be simultaneously treated. Those diabetic patients who have undergone treat of acupuncture for diabetes have revealed that the blood sugar is easier to control after the treatment. There is about a session a week done over a long term. It is not expected to be a one time remedy.

   It is to be understood that while the acupuncture seeions will help to control the symptoms and provide relief for them, the treatment can not cure the disease. Those with recent diagnosis of the disease and milder symptoms will find that they are benefited greatly. Chronic patients will not see a major improvement right away, but over a long period of time they will be some visible difference. The medically acceptable diet and herbs are also essential to the treatment. So the dietary restrictions are to be adhered to strictly while undergoing treatment.



Reiki and Diabetes

27 03 2010

   Diabetes is the short form of a medical condition Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes is a condition where the pancreas is affected. The pancreas produces the hormone insulin which helps in the absorption of glucose.  As the pancreas is un able to produce enough insulin the glucose begins to accumulate in the bloodstream. This leads to other complications and health risks. It is a noninfectious disease. Among the affected body systems by this are the nerve, digestive, circulatory, endocrine and urinary systems.

   Reiki (pronounced ‘Ray-Key) a laying on of hands healing technique thousands of years old, is the Usui system for natural healing discovered by Dr. Midao Usui, a Japananese Buddist, in the late 19th century. Closely following the formula he found in the Indian Sanskirt ‘Sutras’, he recieved the healing powers of Reiki and learned the power of transferring this power to others.

   He gave the Master attunement to 16 teachers, one of whom was Dr. Chujiro Hayashi. Before he died, he asked Dr Hayashi to accept the responsibility of preserving Reiki so that it would not be lost as it had been in the past. Dr Hayashi opened the first Reiki clinic in Tokyo and passed on the completes teaching to Hawayo Takata.

   Hawayo Takata, who had been cured by Reiki herself, was the first women Reiki Master. She gradually spread Reiki around the world. She also established the American way of Reiki practice.

   Reiki is a powerful self healing method that also promotes complete relaxarion, ‘Rei’ means ‘Universal’ and ‘Ki’ means ‘Life Force’. Reiki is not only the most simple and natural healing method we know of, but it is also the most effective way of transferring this Life Force Energy.

   Once aperson has been opened up to become a ‘channel’ of Reiki, concentrate Life Energy will flow through his hands of its own accord and he will retain this ability for the rest of his life. There are three levels of initiation which a person can undergo.

   Diabetes attains the form of a chronic disease. The Ajna chakra (forehead chakra) control the endocrine system. The solar plexus chakra controls and energizes pancreas. Diabetes could be due to insulin deficiency or inability of the body to make insulin.

   The solar plexus chakra is usually congested. In general, the pancreas is slightly inflamed. The liver and kidneys are partially affected. Reiki is given to the front and back solar plexus chakra, liver and pancreas.

   The pancreas and liver are the affected body parts and thus the treatment of diabetes by using Reiki will last long. A cycle 21 days of Reiki treatment is considered effective. Chronic cases experience a healing crisis much later or not all during the cause of treatment.

   With a gap of 7 days, the cycle of 21 days treatment can be repeated and positive effects will be seen within 3 months. It is stressed upon again that we are merely channels and the people heals himself or herself. Reiki is not given. it is made available to the person who draws as much energy as it required.



Deadly Poison!

25 03 2010

   Being in the health field for 15 plus years. And having friends and family with diabetes. I have witness and live with dealing and seeing what will happen with this disease. I have seen want medicine can do to a person, if use for long period of time. And witness seeing the after math of complications of diabetes!

   We are all told from a early age. The doctors are here to help us. And they are! But they are train to give you medicine and cure us. While they also know most of us will not do what we had to do change our health. So they prescribe medicine for us to take.  And all this does is mass over symptom’s and doesn’t cure you.

   I had a very dear friend that had diabetes. She had develop alot of complications. I call this the after math! With all the complication. She take 21 pills a day, twice a day.

He really  explain what would happen to her if she decision to go on this medicine for the long term. She choose to take Prednisone. Because she felt having a little better life while she was here.  Better then not having a life while she was still here. She knew her life coming to the end.

Her arms and hands was thinning out. She would bleed just by someone touching her.  If she had a good day you arms and hands wouldn’t bruise up or bleed. Then it wasn’t to long that her stomach was getting big. Her stomach was 10 times the sizes it was before going on prednisone. Also I need to say that her muscle, was disappearing too. She was becoming a person I didn’t know. Not just physical but her mental state too. My dear friend was no longer the person I knewnall those years ago. It was this medicine Prednisone!

Stop Lying! To Us…

24 03 2010

   Have you ever wondered why, with so many medications available, more and more people are dying from the very diseases these medicines are supposed to cure? I have!

   The first responsibility of drug companies is to help ailing people. At least, that is what most of us believe. The drug companies spend millions of dollars and countless hours discovering new drugs. They then get a patent so other companies can not copy their discovery. This patent lasts for ten years. After that, it is fair game for all the drug companies.

   Do you know that chemical warfare killing agents are being used as a treatment for cancer patients? These agents are being administered under the guise of chemotherapy. One of the agents is Nitro Mustard. Of course the companies use more acceptable names. Would you agree to be treated with mustard gas?

   The Journal of American Medicine reported that ‘properly prescribed’ legal drugs kill over 1000,000 citizens each year, due to reaction of toxic drugs. If  the drugs are ‘properly prescribed’, then does that mean the drugs themselves are tonic, instead of the reason for the deaths being from overdose?

   Modern medicine is a platform for profit, not health. This is a more serious situation than we realize, considering the heavy role big pharmaceuticals play in mainstream medicine. The trend is to ‘manage’ the disease, rather than curing it. Drug companies are the main contributor to fund medical research. Consequently, scientists are given almost no choice but to focus their time and effort on the most profitable treatments. This is not necessarily the most effective, but certainly the most profitable. Even though an herb may hold the secret to treating and maybe even curing a disease, since the herb cannot be patiented, the drug companies will not fund research. The reason an herb can not be patented is because it is a plant in its natural state.

   But the drug companies do not overlook this. With research, the scientists break down the plant into its various components and extract the beneficial part. They then add other ingredients. Because of this, the result can be expect the pharmaceuticals to tell you this.

   The world operates on the power of money. Before our country was founded, the early explorers used the power of trade to obtain what they wanted…

   As our country progressed, the citizens decided the method of barter was very inconvenient. They devised a way that was much more convenient. They started using money! This greatly simplified thing. And the world has been ruled by money since then.

   A good example of the power of money is the treatment of diabetes. Even though a person is a ‘borderline’ diabetic, most doctors will start prescribing medicine, sometimes two or three. Why not advise the patient to lose weight and get on a diet appropriate for diabetics? The ‘why’ is because diabetes medicines are some of the most expensive. Besides, there is no money in prescribing weight loss and good diet!



Prevent Diabetes With Fitness

23 03 2010

   Until people are actually diagnosed with the disease they very rarely learn the facts about diabetes. They never take the time to think about the fact that almost 200 million people are affected by this disease worldwide, and that some of their suffering can be avoided through natural preventatives and natural cures for diabetes. Knowledge about this disease and possible remedies for it could be extremely helpful to you.

   One of the facts about diabetes that most people don’t know is that of these 200 million suffers 95% of them have diabetes type 2, or non insulin dependent diabetes. A lot of people do not have a true understanding of what the difference is between these two diseases. I have talked to some personally that believe that all diabetics have to take insulin, which is not the case at all.

   The reason that insulin injections are required for type 1 diabetes sufferers is because their immune system has destroyed the pancreatic beta cells, which are the only cells in the body that produce insulin. In diabetes type 2 the body fails to respond adequately to the insulin that is being produced. This difference is why natural cures for diabetes tend to work more effectively for sufferers of type 2 diabetes.

   One of the biggest facts about diabetes type 2 that people don’t realize is that it is primarly a nutritional disease. It stems from all of the years that we have been abusing our digestive system by eating all of the wrong kinds of foods. What needs carbohydrates, proteins, and other essential nutrients that your body needs.

   A well balanced diet is one of the suggested natural cures for diabetes type 2, but you have to be sure that you are also taking a nutritional supplement that is specifically that is specifically formulated to peovide diabetics with the nutrients that they are so often deficient in such as chromium. A product that contains the right ingrendients is capable of enabling of enabling your blood sugar uptake, or glucose metabolism to improve.

Neuropathy is…

21 03 2010

   Neuropathy is not one single thing. It is a set of disorders that have occur when your nerves of the peripheral nervous   system get damaged. The peripheral nervous system is that part of the nervous system which is located at the periphery or outer zone of the brain and the spinal cord. This set of symptoms comes up when the nerve axons get damaged and are collectively called peripheral neuropathy.

   The most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are pain and numbness in the hands and feet. Some people may also get shooting pains up and down there limbs. Other say that they get a burning pain like liquid lava traveling through the limbs. Yet other say that the limbs go totally numb and then get a tingling feeling in them after sometime. There is no single set of symptoms that everyone who has diabetes suffers from.

   Although diabetes is one of the reasons why you are likely to suffer from peripheral neuropathy. It is not the only cause. An injury to the head region physically can also cause peripheral neuropathy. Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases also cause similiar symptoms in the person. Even if you have had an amputation or a spine surgery these symptoms may show up. While undergoing chemotherapy as treatment for cancer you can also get these symptoms.

   In peripheral neuropathy the nerves which control the movement of the muscle, known as motor nerves and the nerves which control the detection of sensations, known as sensory nerves get affected. This means that you get pain in the muscles and may not be able to move them at will, or you may feel extra cold or heat or none at all in the limbs. There is no set pattern in the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.
