Reversing Type II diabetes
Myth -
Diabetes is not hereditary, it cannot be controlled controlled by exercise or medication.
We believe that it is due to excessive sugar in blood and if it is under control, we think that we are safe.
Truth -
Carbohydrate is converted to sugar starch and fiber and can be broken down to glucose in our body. Insulin is the key to open the cells in our body to put this inside.
Sugar means insulin resistance and the medicines force the muscle, organs and fat cells to accept more sugar.
Why cells refuse insulin that "I don't need sugar anymore" ?
Because they are already having enough sugar in them.
Cells are stuffed with more sugar by the medicines and are suffering.
Normal medicines taken are - Malformin, Glyciphage, Glycomet, Actose, Glipzide, Glyburide and finally to insulin injections.
After all these medicines what happens is -
- Kidney becomes weak
- Eyes deteriorate
- Heart problem
- Numbness in hands and feet
When the sugar is pushed in the liver, Pancreas, muscles and fat cells, that will cause severe damage to them. No dietary fat will cause fatty liver but sugar does. So after sugar, fatty liver and then varieties of damage of the organs. Vitamin B12 supplement is very important.
Steps to reverse
Step 1 : Make dietary changes.
Stop putting in sugar, in all the forms. We cannot solve the dietary disease without changing the diet.
- Half the plate to have vegetables
- ii. In the other 1/2, 1/3rd should be ghee, 1/3rd should be carbohydrate and 1/3rd to be proteins.
- Ghee is a good fat and so it should be doubled. This gives a feeling of contentment and takes time to digest.
- Chew for 33 times or for 10 mins because undigested food will be come sugar fast.
Below are some of the food we think as OK, but are NOT.
- Wheat in the market are hybrid and is having high sugar. i.
- Digestive biscuits, have high sugar.
- Skimmed milk is very harmful.
- Diet Coke has high sugar and high chemicals.
What can we eat?
- Go back to the fruits which your grandmother could recognize.
- Dheshi cow's organic fat is good for health. Means Local/Deshi cow's milk products.
- Green leafs (Spinach etc) are very good
- Say NO to oats. Because it is processed.
- Don't drink juice, but eat the fruits with the fibres.
- Eat more nuts
- Natural sugar will decay fast and the processed food will have artificial sugar in it.
- Bitter ones like methi seeds and karela are good.
- Fruits like pomegranate and papaya are good
- Sweet potato is better than potato.
- Millet is good. Stick to those which our ancestors ate.
- Deshi ghee or cold pressed oils from seeds such as peanuts, mustard and coconut are good to use.
Step 2 : Intermittent fasting
Burn away the excess sugar stored in the cells.
This is proven by WHO for being young.
Human body is meant to fast and feast.
Never eat six meals, more than 3 meals is harmful.
Eat only three meals with nothing in between.
How to do fasting?
- Start with 12 hrs of fasting, between dinner and breakfast.
- Tea without milk in the morning is very very important.
- Slowly change that to Dinner and 8 pm and then the lunch at 12 pm. This is the best possible medicine.
How fasting helps?
- When the body starves, it pulls sugar out of the cells and organs for energy.
- Liver and pancreas can no longer be fatty.
- They begin to secrete hormones properly again.
How to prevent acidity during fasting?
- Drink alkaline water early morning before starting the fasting. Note that drinking plain water will not help. (Alkaline water preparation - Put a piece of lemon and 2 long pieces of cucumber in one liter of water and keep it aside for 12 hrs. After that the water is alkaline)
- Mixture of turmeric powder and amla powder in 1: 4 ratio put in one glass of warm water can help in reducing sugar and acidity.
- With water little lemon and honey can be taken during fasting.
Step 3 : Weekly once take oil bath.
Heat in the body is one of the main reasons for sugar. To reduce the heat, like our ancestors take oil bath. (In tamil diabetes is called as "Neerazhivu noi", death of water in the body, which means high heat.
- Weekly twice or once put oil on the whole body or at least on the head.
- Keep it for one hour.
- After that take a nice bath with sheekakkai or shampoo.
Better to use hot sesame oil which can cool the body well.
