Diabetes.. An integrated approach


Diabetes is a multi-factorial metabolic disease characterized by either inability of tissue to uptake insulin or lack of insulin production. No single satisfactory modality of treatment is available; which is not surprising due to multi-factorial cause in manifestation of Diabetes.

A combined approach using recent advancements of medicine, balancing of body constituents as mentioned in Ayurveda, lifestyle and dietary changes, and guided meditation uniquely customized for individual can bring about complete reversal of Type 2 Diabetes Mellites.

It is well known that sugar level fluctuate during stress. There are recorded cases of partial reversal of disease when treated for Depression, Anxiety and Multiple personality disorders. A deeper detailed study led me towards recorded cases of numerous MPD, where one personality was diabetic and another non-diabetic, and transition happening in matter of seconds. This triggered the question, "IS DIABETES A DISEASE OF BODY OR MIND or both?" Being a graduate of Life sciences, "fate of interest" brought me to MBBS, inability to give complete relief as I dreamt, led me to study alternative systems. Yoga, Ayurveda, Accupressure, homeopathy, hypnosis and array of quackery techniques seemed to give more relief then standardized techniques.

Unique aspect of every individual seem to carry the answer to the issue. Every person has a unique mind, unique environment of physical, geographic,familial and social upbringing. This resulted in distortion of mind , way beyond standardization technique.

The particular "range" of parameters used in advanced scientific medicine becomes as generalized as Sun signs of astrology. "You belong in this range of this parameter, you have this disease" turns no different than "you are born in this month, you have this character". The neglect of study of uniqueness of body and mind, as done by alternative systems; and inability to integrate recent advancements with older modalities is reason diabetes is not adequately treated. We must not forget, diabetes is not a new disease, our view regarding the therapy is.

However it is noted that a regular systematic approach with regular physical and mental exercise , proper tailored diet, balancing body constituents as mentioned in Ayurveda, reversal can be brought about.
