Twenty-five years ago, if your doctor told you that you had
diabetes, it could be a life shattering moment. Diabetes, by its
inherent nature, or call it simple coincidence, descends upon people
when they are in their mid-fifties. Whether you were a highly successful
person or someone struggling to make ends meet, in medical terms, there
were no choices. It would not be long before you were confined to the
"pill and the syringe" routine. And hoping for the best. At worst you
could volunteer a murmur: "What a nuisance!" and get on with your life,
or what was left of it.
Times have changed now. Gone are the days when the world began and ended with what happened in the USA, U.K. and possibly a couple of European countries. The world is a global village today. Information Technology has spread its tentacles all over. And, if medical science has not met that illusive success it had hoped for, it is certainly not for the want of trying. One such disease is diabetes. After the discovery of insulin in 1921, no new or worthwhile treatment has been introduced in almost a hundred years.
Yet, diabetes, as a disease is on the rampage. In the last three decades it has increased ten-folds. And with 7 million cases reported every year, medical specialists and research experts predict that in the year 2050, one person in three will suffer from the disease. Could there be anything more catastrophic?
To add to the medical woes there are more than 10 million people out there living with diabetes today... and don't even know about it! That, these people suffer in such ignorance is perhaps worse than suffering from diabetes of the worst kind. A large study conducted in Europe found that such people with high blood sugar levels are at an increased risk of developing cancer even when they have no overt signs of diabetes.
The most important causes for diabetes appear to be genetics and obesity. While there is little that one can do about one's genes, there is much that can be done to keep one's lifestyle under check. Are you aware that on an average, an American consumes at least 150 pounds of refined sugar every year. Add to that a sedentary life, indisciplined eating habits and obesity, and you have the recipe for diabetes on your finger tips.
What if you could return to a normal life again? And a life of good health, happiness... and increased longevity of life. For this, you need to know that diabetes cannot be cured but it can be treated very successfully. The use of herbs and plants to treat diabetes successfully date back 4000 years. According to the World Health Organization, India is the largest producer of medicinal herbs and is known as the botanical garden of the world.
Some of the condiments like fenugreek, cinnamon, ginseng, gooseberries and bittergourd have always found a place in your kitchen. Metaformin, the only pharmaceutical drug, that has been relatively successful in controlling blood sugar levels owes its origin to botanical sources.
Amazingly, Gymnema Sylvestre, a leafy plant, that grows wild in the South Asian countries has proven to boost the production of insulin and reduce blood sugar levels beyond expectations. Such has been the measure of success that some of the top colleges and medical centers in the USA, and the world over, have sat up and taken notice. And for the more discerning, medical tourism to countries known for their nature cure facilities, is fast gaining popularity. The treatment is reported to be effective and inexpensive.
This is not about Food Giants and the Big Pharmas. This is about you. The aim of any diabetes treatment is to keep blood glucose levels as near to normal as possible. And as you probe deeper you will realize that there are so many natural and scientifically proven methods to do that. Diabetes and nature cure is a vast subject and the more you explore... the more you will discover.
