First and foremost requirement is to have an open mind, it must be wide open to the contents of these pages . Then exercise your mind thoroughly to understand and feel the spirit behind our endeavor before plunging to abolish diabetes from you.

DeWayne McCulley in his book Death To Diabetes terms the effort to abolish diabetes as a wellness strategy integrating Body-Mind-Spirit. The Body, Mind and Spirit must work in harmony and balance for the entire being to be healthy. It is very true.

Our mind does not control the body but the body controls the mind. This happens because the mind is weak. Though our mind is unable control the body, it can play an important role in our handling the body. This will happen only when the mind is strong. Diabetes is a condition of the body and in many ways it controls our mind.

According to one teaching, there is no bad person, no crazy person; each person’s flaws are part of life, which is itself flawless. Each person’s struggles are a great mystery to be revealed, each struggle becomes a story, each story becomes teaching, each teaching becomes medicine, and such medicine makes the people whole and well in spirit.

Just like the 5 cosmic elements from which all in the universe are born and constituted, there are five elements to control the way we handle the body.

FAITH,HOPE,KNOWLEDGE,INSPIRATION and DETERMINATION. We can call the 5 together as “Wheel of Cure”.

These 5 ingredients together is a powerful engine that can bail us out from the crisis.

What is diabetes?

Some say that it is a disorder of metabolism—the way the body uses or converts food for energy and growth and some say that it is a type of disease that is related to the sugar present in the blood. Whatever may be the definition, all agree that diabetes must be abolished.

What are the benefits of abolishing diabetes ?

1. Free from perennial testing and intense medication.

2. Healthy vital organs free from all adversity of drugs.

3. Normal vision.

4. Well protected nervous system.

5. Good heart.

6. Balanced health.

Is it easy to get back what is lost by diabetic condition by drugs and insulin shots and transform into a diabetes free life ?

It is awesome to wade through the variety of information available on diabetes . But it is not without the folly of excess-information and even misleading information . One doctor prescribes a certain type of drug, the other a different type and many advocate cure without medicine. There are plenty of tools like diet chart, calorie calculator, GI charts, Dos and Don’ts list, handbook, manuals etc. All are very useful and valid in their own sense.

Medical science has progressed by leaps and bounds in recent past. Today many impossible have become possible with the help of medical science which were a dream in the past. Many people lead a happy life only due to the advancement of modern medical science. Difficult and critical operations are performed today with high success rate.

Then why not a diabetic free society ?

The peculiarity of diabetes is that following the mainstream medical approach alone is not enough. It is our health. We have to rely on ourselves to monitor our health. Thoroughly involve in the process of controlling and abolishing diabetes. Let our heart and soul be the leader. Avoid taking any medication that could be harmful. Be completely concerned (not undue worry) about your health. Happily come forward to do all that is needed to abolish diabetes from your body.

Where is the road for recovery ?

When you say that you are a diabetic, the immediate question posed is “how are you going to manage it ?” No one dare to talk about abolishing diabetes completely by effecting simple alterations to what we eat and drink.

There is a saying “one man’s food is another man’s poison” . It sounds very logical that if food can be a poison it can also be the most powerful cure. Please be convinced that “you can use food to cure a disease”.

But what about curing diabetes using food ?

It is said that animals in the wild too are afflicted by ailments similar to that of human beings and that they cure themselves by taking antidotes in the form of eating stems. flowers and leaves of certain shrubs/plants which have the medicinal value of curing that ailment. The animals, probably do so by intuition.

What could animals possibly know about today’s diseases and today’s medicines?

But this method seems to be more accurate than anyone could have ever imagined.

We know that most of the elderly people suffer from arthritis. I have read that there is a tribe of New Zealand that show virtually no signs of arthritis. Even in their 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, member of the Maori tribe reported to remain healthy, active and pain free. It is amazing that elder members of the Maori tribe can run and climb like a teenager.

Their secret?

Members of the Maori tribe regularly eat a certain type of rare seafood only found off the coast of New Zealand. Scientists have found that certain fatty acids within this seafood actually prevent and cure arthritis.

Just think for a moment.

Normal food curing a serious disease ! But what about diabetes? Has any one attempted it ?

YES

Introduction

 WHO’s finding is that every fourth diabetic in the world is an Indian and as per their projections, the 30 million to 33 million diabetics in India will go up to 40 million by 2010 and 74 million by 2025.

It is reported that the propensity to become a diabetic is higher in Indians. It is said that the Americans develop diabetes when the body mass index is 30 and 35. Indians develop it when the BMI is only 25. (For BMI calculation visit http://www.healthepic.com/tools/calculators/body_mass_index.htm)

The medical professionals say that with the onset of diabetes, a person’s metabolism changes drastically that diabetes becomes incurable. The complications of diabetes start much before one can realize as having diabetes .Treating diabetes is considered as a lifelong process. Bringing  the blood sugar value to normal is a real challenge.

According to the researchers, women with family history of diabetes should initiate diabetes prevention at 20 to 25 and men who are obese, must start thinking about diabetes once they cross 25. Family history of diabetes is a very important risk factor for all .

Very young people in IT industry have emerged as a new class of diabetics. Stress at work, irregular  work timing,  pressure of deadlines, irregular meals, lack of even minimum physical exercise etc have increased the risk of diabetes in such young people.

What is diabetes ?

 Cells in our body need energy  to function. Primary energy source is simple sugar(glucose) obtained from the digestion of foods that contain carbohydrates. That glucose remain in the blood as an energy source for the cells. Insulin is a hormone produced by cells in the pancreas (located behind the stomach). Insulin is the key to open the doorway into the cell through which glucose can enter. Some of the glucose can be converted into stored energy reservoirs like glycogen or fatty acids for use in future . When there is a shortage of insulin produced or when the doorway no longer opens with the insulin key, glucose stays in the blood instead of entering the cells.

To balance the level of glucose , the body will immediately attempt to dilute the high level of glucose in the blood (medically the condition is termed as hyperglycemia) by obtaining water from the cells  into the bloodstream in an effort to dilute the glucose and expel it in the urine. It is the reason for people with diabetes to feel perpetually thirsty and drink large quantities of water, and urinate frequently to get rid of the extra glucose. This creates high levels of glucose in the urine.

When the body is trying to get rid of glucose from the blood, the cells starve for glucose and compel the body to eat more food, thus making the person extremely hungry. To supply energy for the starving cells, the body also tries to convert fats and proteins to glucose. The conversion of fats and proteins for energy causes acid compounds called ketones to form in the blood. Ketones will also be excreted in the urine. As ketones build up in the blood, a condition called ketoacidosis can occur. This condition can be life threatening .

Need of the hour

There is a strong mindset in accepting diabetes as a preventable/curable disease, though many chronic diseases have been accepted as curable. The need of the hour is a drastic change in our approach .
