Complementary medicine and diabetes type 2

Quoted message said:

Dear all,
First happy new year to everybody.
I'd like to know if acupuncture could help me to reduce the amount of
medication I am taking. And if it could help my body to heal from this
disease.
Thanks and regards,
f.

I am told that Acupuncture may be helpful for the pain from peripheral
neuropathy. Also, I hear that it may help with the frequency and urgency of
night-time urination.

If you are taking pain meds or meds for bladder control, Acupuncture _might_
make you comfortable enough to reduce your medication.

Stress reduction can improve glucose control somewhat, so to the extent
that accupuncture can reduce stress, it might help modestly. Don't expect
miracles, though, and don't use it as a substitute for other forms of
stress reduction like exercise, which will make a lot bigger difference
(regardless of whether or not it leads to weight loss).

No. It's a lifestyle disease, and your lifestyle has to change.

The most effective treatment for type 2 Diabetes is a proper
diet, regular moderate exercise, and losing some weight.

And eating right may include adding cinnamon to the diet. This one's
been all over the news lately, but I haven't seen any of our
"natural healing" lads and lasses bragging about how they knew it all
along...

Probably the most honest and accurate statement I have seen from you. Bravo!

Now, just what is a "proper" or "correct" dietary that has been shown to
produce the desired results?

Does this mean Diabetes can be reversed?

Once again, Acupuncture MAY reduce the amount of medication, but not the
diabettes meds. Acupuncture MAY reduce the pain of peripheral neuropathy,
reduce nighttime urination, and help the person sleep more soundly.

That's because such behavior is beneath the dignity of the enlighted
practitioners and students of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Gui Zhi, Ramulus Cinnamomi Cassiae, has long been used in the TCM treatment of
some varieties of Xiao Ke, or what we westerners call Diabettes.

moderate protein, fairly low fats, heavy on the fresh fruits and
vegetables and lightly processed grains (oatmeal instead of
Choco-Crunchies, foir example).

Minimizing processed foods - eating more things that are close to
their natural form - is one way to do this. Apples instead of
apple pie.

Type 2 Diabetes can apparently be minimized, delayed or even
reversed i the corrections to the lifestyle are promptly applied.

It might help, but 30 years is a long time.

Way to go TDN. I thank you very much.

I would offer the person interested in improving their health the additional
recommendations of:
Learn how to avoid indigestion.
Learn how to acidify the colon.
Learn more about the body's acid/alkaline balance.

Have a great day.

Learn more about how your body goes to great lengths to ensure that
its acid/alkaline balance stays within very tight limits (and how you
would die in short order if it did not).
