Diabetes

Natural Healing:
Hot and cold showers will help but longer on the cold than hot.
Juniper essential oil in bath water or added to a massage oil.
Stress and shock (past and present) are a huge factor in diabetes. Work on enjoyable exercise, relaxation and yoga / meditation.
More detailed advice must be given to every patient in order to address their particular details needs, be they overweight, underweight or have any other important and individual trait.
If the pancreas is swollen, then try hot castor oil packs.
Nutritional Advice:
Three to six large cloves of garlic per day would be a minimum requirement. It balances the amount of sugar in the blood by producing more insulin (check that your stomach can cope with this, the majority of people can cope).
Eating enough of the right things at the right time is important in the control of diabetes. At no time should the person ever go without food. Diabetes is all about maintaining correct carbohydrate metabolism. Food should be high in fibre and complex carbohydrates. Six small and easily digestible meals a day may be better than three large ones.
Do not drink tea, coffee, alcohol or fruit juices.
All sugars are to be totally avoided. Use instead rice syrup in minute quantities also barley malt, unrefined cane sugar. Very occasionally you can use very small amounts of raw unheated honey. Also avoid fructose, dextrose and molasses.
Nourishing 'earthy' foods that are rich in low burning carbohydrate will be invaluable; whole grains like millet, quinoa, oats and barley are all good whole grains. Avoid all processed grains. Try the sweeter vegetables like Jerusalem artichokes, pumpkins onion and parsnips. High glycemic index (GI) foods should not be consumed either at all or not very often like potatoes, yams and carrots. They affect the blood glucose levels badly, the faster a food is broken down during digestion, the quicker blood glucose levels will rise. Foods that cause a rapid rise in blood glucose will have a high GI. Low GI foods which are beneficial are peas, sweetcorn, beans, lentils, citric fruits, oats and rye. Blue green algae are also good at normalizing blood sugar levels. See also Glycaemic Index Foods.
Try Superfood for both plant ingredients which will really help to balance blood sugar levels.
Avoid white bread and preferably consume rye bread or oat cakes.
Oats are rich in many vitamins and minerals, they are generally very nourishing. They can slow the rate of sugar metabolism, thus aiding the work of the pancreas. Organic oats are best, they can be soaked overnight in spring water and cinnamon powder, and eaten for breakfast.
Seaweed's, especially hijiki normalize blood sugar levels. Cook them with whole grains and add to salads and soups.
Drink one cup of home-made barley water daily.
At least one or two apples per day are the best fruit for diabetics. wild fruits like blackberries, bilberries, quince and pomegranate with their naturally sharp and bitter flavours are also suitable. Do not drink fruit in their 'juiced' forms, the sugar content will be too high. Other suitable fruits would be; pears, grapefruit, grapes (in small quantities), and bananas. Bananas are known to lower blood sugar levels, but only use overripe (nearly black for levelled amounts of carbs and fruit sugar) ones and only have two or three a week as they are rich in sugars. Diabetics due to their high sugar content best avoid dried figs, dates, raisins and other dried fruits. If they are eaten they must be soaked for at least 12 hours.
Cut down or cut out meat, especially red meat. Use vegetable protein sources instead. Avoid milk and cheese. Fish, particularly oily fish can protect against heart problems. With this in mind choose 'low salt' foods to avoid high blood pressure and strokes. It is processed, manufactured foods that have the most salt in them. With homemade food you can control salt intake to a better degree.
To nourish and keep blood sugar levels steady consume Superfood and drinks containing nettles and alfalfa amongst others are invaluable giving almost instantaneous energy, and provide good nourishment between meals.
All vegetables raw and steamed are helpful, particularly those that are opposite to sweet in taste, i.e. sour and bitter like chicory, dandelion leaves, artichokes and olives.
