Q: Diabetes Cure?
Do you think that diabetes will ever be cured? And if so, how and when? A friend of mine has had diabetes all his life and I feel sorry for him, so I decided to ask this question to see what people think.

A: Yes, I think that they are getting closer all the time. The Edmonton Protocol is looking promising. It involves Islet cell transplants.
Millions of dollars are being spent on research, all over the world.
We all just gotta keep contributing to the research funds, and keep hoping.

Q: Diabetes cure?
I think I have diabetes. Last year I started a job where I am on my feet most of the day and parts of my feet went numb. at first I thought it was my shoes but it doesn’t go away even on the weekends. I think it is diabetes.
Is there any thing I can do to stop this, like a chnge of diet? I’m going to the doctor soon but I’d like to know what you people think.

A: diet and exercise are very important. but sometimes you need medication, either soclled AHA (oral) or insulin shots

Q: Where can I find arguments against an approaching Type 1 diabetes cure?
I’m researching the possibility of cure for Type 1 diabetes, and my argument is that there will be a cure in the near future, if funding improves and if beta cell and immune research continues. This is for my AP research paper, and no, I’m not making others write it. Suprisingly, I can’t find a sufficient article arguing that a diabetes cure WON’T come soon, so i’m simply asking, does anyone know where I can find one? Any tips or sites are helpful, thank you!

A: …as much as I dislike the fact that you are asking yahoo-answers for an AP Essay….I’ll help you, my approach would be through stem-cell, maybe grow a healthy pancreas and have a transplant it in, and irradiate your immune system and transplant bone marrow

Q: What can you tell me about a natural diabetes “cure”…?
mentioned by Kevin Trudeau in his updated edition of his “Natural Cures” book. He references an interview with a Dr. Yung Su Kim and a “combination of herbs researched at the University of Calgary, called by the Asian Diabetic Association” the final cure for diabetes.

I’ve googled this as best I could but come up with a variety of different things. Has anyone found this product or even used it that can tell me more?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

A: Global trotter is half right. Allow me to amplify on his/her answer.
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) is not curable but it is REVERSIBLE.
The first step, if you are overweight, is weight loss. This in itself may be enough to reverse your BG numbers.
Tofu and other soy products are harmful and should be avoided; the only safe soy is that which has been FERMENTED: tempeh, miso and natto.
Quality protein is necessary for good health. Fish is terrific but high in mercury; choose small fish, low on the food chain, like sardines and herring, or choose a quality fish oil like Garden of Life or Carlson’s. Go for organic meats and poultry if at all possible (you may be able to find an affordable local source) since commercial meats are pumped full of undesirable hormones and antibiotics.
Choose veggies that are not starchy and not calorie-dense. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, spinach, chard, mushrooms – you get the idea. Stay away from potatoes, yams, etc.
Avoid grains, yes, even whole grains. No refined flours, white rice, pasta. I’ve found oatmeal (5-minute, not instant) to be the only grain that does not spike my blood glucose. No sweeteners, or course. In fact, it should be obvious that sugar in any form is off the menu if you are serious about reversing DMT2. The only non-calorie sweetener that is perfectly safe is stevia.

Whole eggs are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. Include healthy fats as well to help you feel full: butter, lard, raw cream, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil. Avoid Omega-6 fats like margarine and vegetable oils; not only are they GMO, they upset our Omega-3 vs. Omega-6 balance that is instrumental in heart disease.

Global trotter is right about exercise too. A half-hour of walking a day would be ideal, but any activity is helpful, even 10-minute bursts of this and that. The more activity, the faster those numbers come down.

There are a whole series of supplements and herbs that are supposed to help lower BG or improve insulin receptivity. I’ve tried them all – cinnamon, bitter melon, GTF chromium, ALA, Gymnema Sylvestre etc. – none of them helped me at all. Diet and exercise are what’s working for me. Good luck and stay focused!

Q: How come you can not cure diabetes?
I know there are treatments for diabetes but I do not know the reason on why you can not cure diabetes, any type of diabetes. Please Help! Thank You.

A: It all boils down to the fact that it is just too complicated to cure.
Many people have had pancreas transplants but the transplant is difficult due to the fact that the pancreas is very delicate and not everyone is an organ donor. Right now they only do these transplants when someone is dying from diabetic complications. My uncle had a pancreas/kidney transplant and lived for 15 years until he had a heart attack.

Doctors all over the US and Canada have been working on islet cell transplantation. I know that in Philadelphia they had cured several people this past summer. The islet cell transplantation is only in the clinical trial stages right now. The medical community has recently found a better way to transplant these cells and they have had better results but it will be years before this is available to all diabetics. I was in the clinical trial in Philly and only know all of this info because I asked. I unfortunately had other health problems and had to drop out.

The medical community has been working for years on an artificial pancreas or implantable insulin pump. There have been way too many problems with these however.

There seems to be new discoveries and hope on the horizon everyday. I’ve been reading for years that a cure is just around the corner. Hopefully one day soon someone will find the thing that finally works perfectly.

Q: How does gene therapy work to cure diabetes?
Can someone please talk me through step by step the process of gene therapy! and how potentially in the future it could be used to cure diabetes. Thanks! And if you have any sources post the link to please

A: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/21c/genetics/geneticdiseasesrev2.shtml

Have a look at the website above – it helped me to understand Gene Therapy better. The website is really good in explaining the simple steps. Hope you find this useful.

Q: Can you tell me the story that how to cure diabetes?
I am interested to know how cure diabetes by the treatment of homeopathy. There are lot of remedy in homeopathy to copeup with diabetes symptom. So far I am concerned specifically there no remedy for diabetes.

A: There is no cure at the time for either Type I or Type II Diabetes. Diabetes can only be controlled. It sure would be great if you could come up with something that will work! You’d be very wealthy! Good luck!

Q: I have read that there is a intestine surgery method to cure diabetes?
I read that now diabetes can be CURED by a surgery, replacing small intestine parts, which are know as producing some insulin, to stomach where they can secrete insulin..is that true?

A: the only surgery even contemplated now to cure diabetes is a pancreatic transplant – is it really worth going down that direction?

keep in mind that a) whilst you will not require insulin
b) any transplant involves subduing your immune system which means you have to be extremely careful for any type of illness / infection and also there is no guarantee that whatever caused your diabetes in the first place that it will not happen again.

i am diabetic but would not consider that an option, they are constantly coming up with new ideas though, so best wait and see a few more years down the line – something like using your own cell tissue to fix your pancreas sounds more realistic, even if it is still a long way off

Q: How do you cure diabetes?
What is the cure for diabetes?

A: There is no cure. It changes your entire lifestyle.

Here is a great site to learn more!

Q: What is the natural cure for Diabetes and Multiple sclerosis?
You always hear about natural cures for diseases, but you never hear of what they are or even the treatments. I’ve heard there is a natural cure for Herpes, diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, and hypertension, but no one ever seems to know what they are, or where they can be found. I have even read that book ‘Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About’ by Kevin Trudeau and he just beats around the bush. Is there anyone out there with solid evidence and answers?

A: I am sure that if there was solid evidence backed by real proof of natural cures for diseases that _many_ healthcare professionals would be talking about them, they would be in respected journals, even the so-called ‘evil’ pharmaceutical companies would be manufacturing ‘enhanced’, ’safer’, ‘more effective’ natural cures. Just look at all the various companies that make different kinds of Vitamin C, Rosehips, Iron pills, and the like for your local grocery store.

IMHO, I think you’re best bet is to work with a professional doctor.

===============
Be cautious when referencing Kevin Trudeau’s “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About.” Do a little reading on this guy, then decide for yourself. Personally, I think he’s a huckster out to make a buck using ridiculous claims backed by pseudo-science and possibly outright untruths .. but that’s just my opinion .. and some other people like doctors, respected journalists, etc.

Q: What makes Dr. Faustman think that treating people with Diabetes with BCG will cure it?
I understand she successfully cured Diabetes in mice but this treatment has already been studied in prior research and has been given as part of standard vaccinations to people in Europe. If anyone with a good background in science can explain why her method would be more advanced, that would be most appreciated.

A: To respond to the second posting:
Dr. Faustman used the well-known immune stimulant called CFA (complete Freuds Adjuvant) initially in her mice research. As you state, one can not use CFA in humans as it is not safe. However, you did not mention that she searched for an equivalent substance known to have the same stimulatory effect that she could use in humans. She found the generic, safe and readily available substance called BCG. She has publicly stated that she also used BCG in mice with the same original effects as CFA. The human trials are currently using BCG. Faustman has shown, along with other scientists from other labs, that these immune stimulants stimulate the production of TNF alpha in the body. It is also shown that in the presence of elevated TNF alpha levels, the targeted autoreactive T cells responsible for continually killing the islet cells die off.
Dr. Faustman’s later experiments revealed that the role of islet regeneration may come from precursor cells in the spleen, or splenocytes. This belief has no part in whether her treatment will work in humans or not as she never planned to use these cells in her protocol. Dr. Faustman is attempting to eliminate the underlying autoimmune disease by first “selectively” killing off the autoreactive T cells while sparing healthy cells. Once the autoimmune cells are truly eliminated, it is believed and heavily supported by other research that regeneration of islet cells can occur even in those who have lived with diabetes for many years. Research has found that regeneration of islet cells may occur from existing islet cells in the pancreas, or from stem cells found in the pancreas, or what Faustman’s research has shown from one’s spleen. By the way, Dr. Faustman’s research showing regeneration of islet cells from splenocytes was replicated by an NIH group showing 100% replication results. In any case, Faustman and others believe that the ability of regeneration of islets can occur probably from different sources. However, it’s the elimination of the underlying autoimmune disease that may very well be the key for this to happen as a cure. The goal of Dr. Faustman’s project is to remove the disease with a safe substance so that the body can then have time to regenerate new islet cells.
It is also important to point out that since Dr. Faustman’s discovery many human clinical trials in the field of blocking the autoimmune disease and regeneration have started. Most, if not all of these are recruiting only newly diagnosed patients. Most of these trials continue to use different immune suppressant drugs, some with a history of severe side effects when used for life threatening diseases like lymphomas. Not one of these human trials is attempting the selective removal of disease.
Dr. Faustman’s phase I human clinical trial using BCG started in January of 2008 and is estimated to be completed this summer. Phase II of the human clinical trial is expected to start at the end of the year depending solely on funding.

To answer the first posting:
You are right when you say that other scientists in the past have used BCG in mice and even in human clinical trials. However, these human clinical trials only used “one vaccinated dose” of BCG while they looked for an end result of reversal of diabetes. They also did not know the mechanism of why BCG had an effect in mice but, proceeded to human clinical trials anyway.
It is known from Dr. Faustman’s studies and others that BCG, as an immune stimulant, stimuates the natural production of TNF alpha in the body. In the presence of elevated TNF alpha levels, the targeted autoreactive T-cells (responsible for killing the islet cells) die. Dr. Faustman’s studies show that it will take “a lot more than one vaccinated dose” of BCG to show any sort of end result of reversing diabetes ( ie: decreased insulin doses or off of insulin totally).
It is very important to mention that Faustman’s human clinical trial has the means of reliably measuring the killing off of these autoreactive T-cells with TNF alpha. Therefore, determining increased dosing of BCG has the best chance of being successful in phase II of her human clinical trail. Past BCG trials did not have this means.
A good analogy is the use of antibiotics to treat an infection. Imagine if science only tried one dose of an antiobiotic to test its ability to clear an infection? We all know that it takes a lot more than 1 dose to see the end result of clearing that infection.

Q: Ethical issues for gene therapy to cure diabetes?
Is there any ethical issues in gene therapy to cure diabetes. This is where they take insulin genes from a donor and inject them into a diabetic so they can produce their own insulin.

A: None that I can see as long as the donor is willing.

Q: When will scientists find a cure for diabetes?
I have a sister that has diabetes, im really hoping that scientists will find a cure very soon.

A: I’ve been a diabetic for 15 years. Trying to determine when scientists will find a cure for diabetes is akin to determining when God will return to rapture the church…it may happen tomorrow, next week, next month, next year…50 years from now!? Only God and time will tell.

The Bible says that in the end of times, doctors will find cures for many diseases. We see more and more cures everyday, so I feel that his return will be sooner than we think…when God comes back, those who’ve made the decision to follow him, won’t worry about a cure…we’ll be cured as we meet Jesus in the air! Either way, whether cured by science or God, we’ll be cured one day!

Don’t worry, Darlin’, you’ve got many, many people praying with you for God to bless us with a cure. Until then, stay steadfast in your faith and claim the cure and healings from the Lord.

God’s blessings on you and yours…Always!

Q: How can diet be effective in the prevention or cure of diabetes?
How can diet be effective in the prevention or cure of diabetes ?

A: Diet and exercise are equally important in reversing type two diabetes. (note that I did not say “cure”). It is vitally important that the type two diabetic adjust their lifestyle to include lots of healthy raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains and to exclude any and all refined, processed, enriched, packaged, preserved, man made carbohydrates (especially high fructose corn syrup) from their diet. It is equally important for the type two diabetic to get daily moderate exercise. I emphatically disagree with the good doctor. I am living proof that the disease is reversible. It is only progressive if the patient persists in living the lifestyle that brought us here in the first place. Very few doctors seem to realize this. Bear in mind that type two diabetes is a modern disease and it’s existence was practically unheard of 200 years ago, when factory processed foods were rarely found in people’s diets. Look up the Pima Indian’s plight for more on this. There are a few doctors that have done their homework and have found as I have that with healthy diet and regular exercise, a type two diabetic can live a long, healthy, and medication free life. All it requires is a lot of research and some practical application of that knowledge. I was getting worse and worse until I became desperate enough to learn for myself how to deal with the disease. The chances of gleaning this knowledge from a conventionally trained M.D. are slim. But there are a few out there that have learned. Search Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard, and Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Or simply click the diabetes info link in my profile.

Q: Can someone suggest natural cures for diabetes?
I am tired of taking medications for years for my diabetes. As I grow older I want to reduce medication and switchover to natural cures if possible.

A: Diabetes is not reversible. Please don’t discontinue any medication without discussing it with your doctor, and PLEASE don’t take advice from people who know so little about diabetes that they refer you to bastions of quackery like Mercola and Natural News.

You don’t give your age, and you don’t say whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or whether it’s insulin you are taking.

But in another question you talk about your love of junk food and how you don’t understand how it can be bad for you.

Type 2 diabetes can often be controlled by diet alone; mine is. And junk food has no part in a diet for controlling type 2 diabetes. At my 6 monthly check ups, my average glucose level for the previous 3 months is regularly around 5.2; I don’t know where you live or how that translates, but it’s very good control. But I know that however controlled it is, however low I keep my blood glucose levels – I’ll still always be diabetic.

There are no ‘natural cures’ for diabetes. It’s a bugger; I wish I wasn’t diabetic too, but it’s with me for life. It is for you too. I manage to keep on the straight and narrow by asking myself which I want more, chocolate or my feet? Junk food or my eyesight? No contest. If I had to take medication for diabetes my attitude would be the same.

Please don’t run the risk of uncontrolled diabetes and the dire consequences that can have by abandoning your meds and going for any of the dubious (at best) ‘cures’ that may be recommended here.

Q: Has anybody had any positive experiences with diabetes cures or treatments?
My dad has type 2 I think. (It’s the one where you don’t use insulin). The problem is he lives in Africa where the drugs can not be trusted. This is obviously very worrying as I am in the U.K and cannot oversee anything.

Anyway, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it as you can imagine it is driving me to dis-pare. Another option is bringing him here for treatment. Can anyone advise on this or have any ideas for me?

A: I have type 1 myself but,for type 2 as with type 1 his diet is very important. Avoiding starchy things like pasta,bread and potatoes. eating lean meats fruits and vegetables in proper quantities would hopefully do the trick. I have heard talk about cinnamon being helpful to type 2s but I don’t know if that has proven to be effective or not. Best of Luck to you and your dad.

Q: Are there underground cures for diabetes?
I am not looking to bring out the truth or share what I discover.

I am just seeking if I can cure diabetes so I won’t have to suffer through any more treatments. I feel like I wanna die.

If it is being underground I wanna know for Me plz I am sick of No hope.

Are there any cures for type1 diabetes????

A: Um, no, if there was a cure to diabetes, it certainly wouldn’t be underground, it would make whoever discovered it unbelieveably rich.

Q: does canary seed milk helps loose weight and cures diabetes?
i read inthe univision forums that canary seeds are good for diabetes and loose weight,but properly handled.is that true? maybe a doctor can anwer too

A: If canary seed cured diabetes, why do 350,000 people have diabetes in North America?

Q: How can we stop people from promoting scam cures for diabetes?
There is one guy on here that I have flagged dozens of times, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.
Anita, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I know that you know what I’m referring to. I won’t say it here, because thay might draw more attention to it.

Emailing the FDA is good, too.

A: Good question. I know it takes yahoo about a million years to investigate these violators too. Perhaps those of us that are regulars to this category could band together and all thumbs down these scam artists. Then perhaps when people are coming here to seek honest knowledge, they may think twice about believing something with so many thumbs down. I’ll do my part.

Q: What companies are doing research on cures for diabetes?

A: Lots of them.

Start by eating well – very little fast food. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

I know Amylin Pharmaceuticals is doing research.

I’ve googled this as best I could but come up with a variety of different things. Has anyone found this product or even used it that can tell me more?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Q: any natural diabetes cures or ways to help fight off type 2 diabetes???
are there any natural ways to help fight off diabetes using natural herbs and foods, if so please list them, i am paying out $250+ a month on medications that do not seem to be helping, and have been doing so for the last 3 years, i follow a strict diet with little to no sugars and carbs, but all i manage to do is go deeper in debt and get sicker.

A: You should check-out, Kevin Trudeau’s Natural Cures book. I haven’t read this book myself but I have heard many good things about it. I believe he addresses diabetes in length and things you can do to bring it under control.

I wish you the best of luck and good health. I really feel you on this issue because my dad passed away from diabetes.

Q: Do you know that the bark of an Indian tree cures diabetes?

A: I didn’t think there was a cure for diabetes. What is the reference for that?

Q: What do you think? Are diabetes and cancer curable but cures are hidden so doctors can make more money?
Treating an illness stimulates the economy. Curing it does not.

A: I am so sick and tired of hearing all of these goddamned conspiracy theories about the medical industry TRYING to keep people sick so they can milk them for all they are worth.

THAT IS NONSENSE.

No matter how many diseases we “Cure” there will be 100 more developing or mutating that will need to be fought…

A friend of my father just won’t shut up about how it is this massive conspiracy to put corn syrup in EVERYTHING so that it makes everyone sick and the BIG BAD EVIL PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY can sell us drugs to fix us just enough to keep selling us drugs… Drugs that will keep you sick so they can KEEP SELLING DRUGS!

This is retarded…

She also believes that AIDS was created by the government or whatever to kill off blacks and gays…

Hell… Just look up the BBC Doc about Thalidomide and how it takes Blood Cancer from an automatic death sentence and turns it in to a manageable condition.

The same people screaming about ‘conspiracies’ are the one screaming about stopping stem cell research and cutting the funds to research…

Q: I am looking for natural cures for diabetes and depression. What is a good source?

A: go ask people personally that already have it

Q: Are there any known alternative cures for Diabetes?
Looking for an alternative or otherwise cure or aid in dramatically reducing the blood sugar level of diabetics.

A: Not a one. There is a widespread back of the mind conviction among many that there exists an entire alternative medical structure (ancient knowledge, traditional approaches, …) which offers cures or treatment ordinary medicine does not. That’s a false belief, by and large. Any natural cures which worked as well as ordinary medicine would be quite prominent indeed and wouldn’t remain alternative for very long.

consider, in the case of diabetes alone, that a plant long known to help with diabetes (goat’s rue) is the source of Glucophage (metformin) and the biguanides generally. Gila monsters (the poisonous lizard from the N American SW desert) is the source of a new diabetes drug nearing approval and release for clinical use. An herb, used in cosmetics because it makes the pupil larger in small doses, is the source of digitalis, still one of the primary drugs in cardiovascular medicine.

The common sorts of diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2) is a condition without a cure. And it’s a real pain literally and figuratively. There is a lot of quackery and snake oil om consequence. so far, diabetes related research has earned 4 Nobel Prizes, and any advance as effective as some of the advertising claims about ‘traditional’ cures or treatments would be high on the eligible list for another.

We now understand diabetes about as well as we understand broken legs. There’s little treatment for a broken leg aside from setting it, splinting it, treating it carefully, and waiting. And for good reason. Likewise there’s good understanding of what’s going on in diabetes (type 1 and type 2) and what would be needed to fix them (mostly). We can’t do that yet, just as we can’t get a broken leg to mend in a couple of days. And that’s the state of the art in diabetes treatment, alternative included.

Someday, there’ll be a cure… Would save a bundle of money and a lot of nuisance. Support diabetes research and encourage those with research money to assign some to diabetes.

Q: Are there any alternative treatments/cures for Diabetes?
In 1995 I suffered from acute pancreatitis. Surgeons removed 90% of my pancreas and this left me Type 2 diabetic. I was doing fine on pills until this past december my Endocrinologist decided to put me on Humulin R(about 15 units before meals) and and later on added Lantus(about 55 units 2x day) Insulins. In addition I’ve eaten healthier but I’ve gained about 20lbs. I really hate this and I want to get off insulin but doctors tell me that i had been using the pills (glyburide/metformin < and other variants of all these before that> and Actos) for too long and its not healthy for my liver. I’d prefer to not be on insulin dependency. I know there are stem cell studies and other research going on. But is there anything else I should be looking into ? Is insulin safe? The ingredients are horrific!
Has anyone had success with other methods???
I live in Arizona I’m a 44 year old male.
Thanks for your help.

A: For type I and type II diabetics…

I’ve found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I’m a type II, but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It’s by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it’s the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don’t have a recent relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be ‘effectively’ cured.

The book explains what’s going on in our system and what to do about it. It’s really easy and inexpensive. It’s basically diet, supplements and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorbtion? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/np/fnrb/fnrb0104.htm#pinch

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything’s under control, I’m able to have nearly normal sex again.

Q: Does anyone know a natural cure for diabetes?
I know there isn’t a real cure and it is controlled by tablets ,I need to know if anyone knows of any other natural relief, please pour your answers.

A: No. There isn’t one.

Keeping healthy in other ways, good sugar control, good blood pressure control, low fat diet, not smoking, BMI within average range (not overweight) will all help to stop or minimise the complications of diabetes

Q: Is natural cure effective in helping diabetes?
We are thinking of intercepting the concept of naturopathy in helping my step dad for his diabetes condition. Is it going to be effective? Anyone had tried before?

A: You don’t say what type your father in law is. If he is type 1 using insulin then messing with the treatment plan his doctor has worked out is dangerous. I’ve actually had people tell me I could stop taking insulin simply by going vegetarian which is rubbish I’d be dead by now if I believed that.

Q: Feline all-natural Diabetes cure??????
I have a 13 year old male cat who has been diagnosed with diabetes in the last 6 months. He was given a pill prescription, but that only elevated his blood sugar. We refuse to give him shots, because we feel that is cruel to stick him with needles every day. I am just curious if there is any food or creatable remedy to prolong his life, or even help cure the diabetes…

A: There are prescription diabetic cat foods. Ask your vet.

But let me ask you a question. If you were diabetic, and needed insulin shots, would you find it cruel to give yourself an insulin shot? Or would you look for possibly untested home remedies that may be dangerous?

Q: Can someone suggest natural cures for diabetes?
I am tired of taking medications for years for my diabetes. As I grow older I want to reduce medication and switchover to natural cures if possible.

You don’t give your age, and you don’t say whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or whether it’s insulin you are taking.

But in another question you talk about your love of junk food and how you don’t understand how it can be bad for you.

Q: alternative natural cure for jaundice and diabetes?
I am new here my husband told me to try asking my question here and I hope I can get some help.

My dad has both jaundise and diabetes. his health seems to be getting worse. Im not sure that his medications are helping him. He takes metforman and adriamycin. He seems to be getting worse.

i just want to know if anyone has heard of any alternitive natural cures and therapies that might work for his conditions. I am open to any ideas. Thankyou

A: Why is he on Adriamycin? Is there some information you are not giving? Adriamycin is a chemotherapy agent.
Metformin is an anti-diabetic drug with a possible side effect of LIVER DAMAGE and jaundice. (see reference given) Sounds like he needs to be on something different…now. Even if he has to take insulin shots for a while , I would think that would be better than those potentially life-threatening side effects. THEN you can pursue natural options once you stop the poisoning. If he gets on something with less damaging side-effects, then he can pursue other options to stop diabetes (depending on cause). Exercise included. Since you don’t mention that he takes insulin shots, that probably means his pancreas is still functional…so, dietary and lifestyle modifications will help a great deal.

eg: If your thumb hurt, you’d want to stop hitting it with a hammer before wrapping it and applying ice.

Q: what is the natural cure for diabetes?

A: Exercise is the best answer

Though Not for all states, like not for insulin dependent

But it helps better glycemic control and reduces dependence

Q: any natural cure for diabetes 2?

A: Food Therapy should be followed under the supervision from your doctor. Check your sugar level frequently so that sugar levels do not go beyond the recommended level

Foods to avoid

It is always advisable to avoid some foods if you are diabetic such as refined sugar, sweets, syrups, glucose, jam, molasses, fruit sugar, ice-cream, cakes, pastries, sweet biscuits, chocolates, soft drinks, condensed milk, cream and fried foods. Fats like butter, ghee and hydrogenated vegetable oil should also be avoided. White sugar and white flour should be reduced drastically. Avoid all processed foods, junk food, pastries, cookies, canned and preserved foods. They contain harmful preservatives and lot of salt. Avoid soft drinks since these have a lot of sugar. Try to avoid fried foods from your diet. Smoking results in the using up of oxygen in the body. It will result in less of oxygen needed by the body to metabolize glucose. So smoking should be avoided.

Foods to be limited

Salt consumption should be reduced to a minimum. You will get enough salt form the vegetables and fruits you eat. Reduce animal foods especially red meats. Reduce poultry and egg. Reduce caffeine and alcohol. Do not drink tea and coffee more than 2 cups a day. Try to replace it with green tea or herbal teas like Parsley tea, Blueberry leaf, Tea made of tender walnut tree leaves, Water in which kidney bean pods have been cooked is good diabetes.

Do not consume alcohol in empty stomach. Alcohol on an empty stomach can cause low blood glucose or hypoglycemia.Foods that should be consumed in moderation are honey and other natural sugars like palm sugar, dates which can be used instead of white sugar. Remember these should be consumed in very little quantity only.Pasta, coconut, other nuts, unsweetened juices, eggs should be limited. You can replace it with whole grain, unpolished rice and Soya products. Try to eat whole grain bread instead of white flour. Fats like olive oil and peanut oil are more advisable that hydrogenated fats. Low fat food like skimmed milk and low fat home made cottage cheese can be taken in moderation. You can also substitute it with yoghurt. Sea food and fish also can be taken in moderation.

Foods to be taken

Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. An alkaline diet with natural food is recommended. Wholegrain, fruits, nuts, vegetables, and dairy products form a good diet for the diabetic. Raw vegetables can be taken in high quantities. It has been found that cooked foods raise blood glucose higher than raw, unpeeled foods. Cooking destroys many of the enzymes and some vitamins and minerals.

Eat at least five fruits every day. Fruits like grape fruit, pomegranate juice, Indian blackberry, banana, granny smith apples, fig, cranberries, black berry, kiwi fruits, and citrus fruits are highly recommended. It can be taken as a snack. Cucumber, Lettuce, onion, garlic string beans cucumber radish, tomato, carrot, leaves; spinach turnip, cabbage and Jerusalem artichoke are good for diabetes. Colorful vegetables are good for the functioning of pancreas. Drink Fruit juices without sugar. Brewer’s yeast and sprouted alfalfa and mung beans are good for the body. Unripe banana also can be cooked and eaten.

The most important of all is eating high fiber diet which lowers need for insulin. It releases energy into the body slowly. It has also been found that diabetes decreases and may even disappear in people eating a high fiber or whole food diet. High fiber diet has more chromium and chromium is very good for people with diabetes. Eat lot of potassium rich foods like raw peanuts, tomato, bananas, melons, dried peas, potatoes, apple cider vinegar, skimmed milk powder, wheat but do not take potassium supplements.

Include soluble fiber in your meals like barley, oatmeal, almond meal, dried beans, kidney beans, cooked black beans, peas, cereals, chickpeas, Bengal gram which has low glycemic index, , Black gram, lentils and corn or garbanzo beans to helps considerably in reducing blood sugar levels. Soy products like tofu, tempeh, soymilk, soya powder, soy bean sprouts, nuggets etc are also very good in containing neurological complications in diabetes. You can make bread out of any of the whole grains. Get a lot of soluble fiber into your diet. When you eat lots of bread, cereal and starchy vegetables you will get enough of starches which is very helpful for diabetes. Insoluble fibers, found in bran (oat bran, wheat bran), whole grain breads, whole grains and nuts, act as intestinal scrubbers by cleaning out the lower gastrointestinal tract. Fiber cleans your intestinal tract by moving out the food so that it wouldn’t stay there and putrefy. Butter milk and yoghurt diet are very beneficial.

Q: natural cure for diabetes ?
Any true life experience, comments from medical professionals

A: Assuming that you are talking of type 2 diabetes,there was a small study carried out in the States looking at new onset type 2 diabetics.

About 12 patients were subjected to a punishing regime of diet,weight loss and very aggressive prolonged physical exercise. Under these extreme conditions about half were able to revert to normal glucose tolerance. Unfortunately this did not represent a realistic treatment option,but rather management of scientific interest.

Q: Is there a natural cure for type 1 diabetes?

A: Hi Jeremy P.
Fortunately this type of diabetes can be controlled and managed more comfortably than type 2 diabetes. However, this does not change the fact that this is a serious condition and if you have the disease, you have to be very careful. Diabetes is not a condition that you can neglect; medical attention is required as soon as it is diagnosed. If left untreated, it will lead to more serious health problems. You have to be careful about what you eat and what you do.

As the pancreas stops the production of insulin in type 1 diabetes, the treatment for this disease would include the introduction of insulin to the body. There are about 20 types of products available which could provide the much needed insulin. Which product should be taken depends on the patient and the physician providing the health care.

I wish you the best of luck and good health. I really feel you on this issue because my dad passed away from diabetes.

Q: Is there truly a “natural” cure for diabetes?
Type 1 AND 2

A: You would have to define “cure” first. According to my recent blood test, I’m not diabetic even though I was diagnosed with it over three years ago. I don’t necessarily claim to be cured, but the results are looking pretty good so far…. Here’s what I’m doing:

http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html

Q: Part 2……A natural cure for many cases of diabetes for my Christian brethren and all others…..I guess?
I will spill the beans,…..I put this in questions in the Diabetics section earlier and not 10 minutes later a orchestrated letter tried to discredit every thing i wanted to share.

You guy’s can believe what you want……..i have proof with my hyperglecemic Daughter and 4 of my realitives that have totally got off of insulin,….of coarse they had to continue a good diet but my DAUGHTER WASN’T FAR ADVANCED so she can eat sweets on occasion,…..now i’m not saying you guys can…..it must be monitered so you will know what the dosage is best……Ok here it is……it’s called “”CHROMIUM PICOLINATE” it is all natural suppliment…..Doctors will not prescribe it because it is not FDA approved,…..rule of thumb….basically anything that is natural is not FDA approved……..why you ask because they can make money off something that is so easily accessable to the public…it’s about that $$$ …My daughter takes 500 mg of Chromium Picolinate 30 to 60 minutes before a meal.
Remember you must continue to take the suppliment through out your life,….no biggy i take it and i don’t have diabetes,…..it will even help you from getting diabetes. Be good to your self….you all deserve it!! Peace out
Remember you must continue to take the suppliment through out your life,….no biggy i take it and i don’t have diabetes,…..it will even help you from getting diabetes. Be good to your self….you all deserve it!! Peace out
Yes you must do your research,…….there is proper dosages,…….Less might be better,….consult your Doctor or a Nutritionalist………..they can help…….ask questions…….The Doctor might be reluctant to tell you the truth but your nutritionalist should be more then happy.
Your a funny guy Bluto……..you silly rabbit………that was kinda funny though!
Yes it must be taken in Mcg not MG’

A: Chromium acts as a ‘gatekeeper’ which permits insulin through the cell membrane to metabolize sugars. Many diabetics are of the ‘insulin resistant’ type. That is, their pancreas makes plenty of insulin, but the cells are resistant to letting it enter (usually due to an allergic reaction from a life time of eating too many simple carbohydrates, and sugars). For these people (probably at least 50% of Type 2 diabetics Chromium Picolinate can be quite helpful. They probably should also supplement with Vanadium.

By the way, I think you mean ‘mcg’ (micrograms) not ‘mg’ (milligrams)…….
