There are so many vested interests it's like slowing, stopping and reversing a juggernaut then pushing it back uphill. The money invested in keeping people addicted to junk and the profits generated will keep that juggernaut rolling for a while yet.

However the genie is out of the bottle and won't be jammed back in. And it's the likes of savvy people like you and I and others here with access to the internet and inquisitive, critical minds will provide the impetus for change.

Very true MikePollard ..... and while doing that...our mind should be open...not biased with something....we must keep our mind open to all ideas....

Here is nice verse from Sanskrit....

अमंत्रमक्षरं नास्ति नास्ति मूलमनौषधम्‌ ।

अयोग्यः पुरुषो नास्ति योजकस्तत्र दुर्लभः॥

It means-

there is no sound that is not a mantra, no plant that is not medicinal |

there is no person unworthy, what is lacking is an 'enabler' ||

We should look at everything with positive mind.....we won't reach anywhere with biased mind....unbiased pursuit of truth is the only path to find facts....

homeopathy...Ayurveda...nature cure...everything is useful.... we have to apply our mind...and select what is beneficial for us.....by becoming swan and not stork....

Good one cure ...

Not even plants (If you further expand your views on medicine )...but water , air , breathe, sight , listening, talking everything is medicine ...it just need a change of vision towards the beautiful world full of so many resources to reach the same goal(Like with different ways/forms we realize God , but he is same) ...just a change of vision one day changes the world around you and inside you ...and healing starts from there ...you start feeling you got new eyes , new ears , new mouth and every sense is changed , which perceive the world all together differently :) and thats feeling of anti aging :D :D ...

i have something for you. I just read that ghee is prohibited in ayurveda. Now that's your territory. Please find for us. Because here we recommend the use of ghee very strongly.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply tosuramo

is it??? I don't think so.... but let me find out....

rather...diabetes is suppose to be problem of agnimandya=low fire....and to make it burning again ghee is best....

But....sometimes ghee is not sufficient....

remember dialogue between Agni Deva and Krishna Arjun before 'Khandav van dah'??

Story tells us that one day Agni/God of fire approached Krishna and arjuna....he was looking pale....on asking the reason...he replied...due to various yagna and Ghee pouring in yagna his appetite has gone low...

And if at all he consumes Khandav van along with animals birds and herbs ...then he will burn bright again....

So alongwith ghee animals fats are also good for health...

here is story..

quora.com/When-Krishna-and-...

As per the texts, God Agni is the priest of the Gods. All the offerings to all the Gods were made via Agni i.e. one would pour those offerings in the sacrificial fire. During the times of Mahabharata there lived a King who performed large number of Yagnas and as a result of those Yagnas, Agni had to consume large amounts of Ghee (clarified butter). Consumption of so much Ghee caused some sort of stomach problem for Agni. Lord Agni took is ailment to Lord Bhrama who suggested that his ailment can be cured only if he consumes a lot of animal fat.

So..large quantity of Ghee is prohibited....rather anything in excess should be avoided....

drsoumitrakhadilkar.com/tre...

see what he says....

DIABETES AND AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

Treatment

According to Ayurveda the line of treatment of diabetes is strictly on individual’s constitution.

1) The prakrithi of the patient

2) Dosha predominance of disease

3) Dooshya vitiation

4) Obstruction in srothus

5) Manasika Prakrithi

6) Ahara & Vihara

7) Hereditary factors etc…

In general Diabetes Mellitus {Vathaja prameha}Patients are advised to have Bhrimhana medication & diet which increases dhathus in the body

So really speaking....it depends...person to person.

But let me get confirmed....

Although Ayurveda promotes its consumption for a variety of benefits, it also warns the obese to use this frugally.

According to B S Raheja, the ex-director of All India Institute of Diabetes, the present epidemics of diabetes, heart disease and some cancers is due to not including ghee in our diets.

Now one more question. I read in one of your links that coconut oil is prohibited for D. Would you please let us all know because we are recommending vco to everybody. Those who follow vegan diet also have no objection to using coconut oil.

sach bolu bhai suramo VCO se I am not convinced....

VCO se toh eat coconut meat....

VCO is western concept.....I guess they don't get fresh coconut oil...so use VCO

Further,fish fried in cold pressed coconut oil are lovely....

And I think even with LCHF....we must restrict our calories intake.

Ayurveda always say....MitBhuk...

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply tocure

Cure

eating coconut meat is good but how much can one eat that ? It's very heavy. I spread grated coconut on my legume and veg dish.

We need oil for cooking. Well frankly i'm using coconad from klf - coconut oil for cooking. It contains 91% sfa and 47% lauric acid. It's comparable to vco. But price diff is big 170/ l v/s 500/. This all mind boggling is to get anti oxidants. Vco is better in antioxidant and antiinflammatory contents. Just a bit better. Somebody should do a comparative study between vco and co.

Yes. If we want to burn fat calorie restriction is must beyond the point where body compensates for reduced calorie intake. We have to switch our body mechanism to using fats as fuel from using carbs. Nutritional ketoacidotic diet.

cure what is your opinion about coconut oil available in manufacture in Kerala and other states which is pure one also and used for kitchen purposes. Is it good or equivalent to V CO. as you mentioned coconut oil is cheap of Rs 150-160 / kg but V CO it may more than 500 / Kg Are you used VCO orCO

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply to

dear Hidden

I never used VCO.....Cause I am not convinced with the concept of VCO.

Process of making VCO is something like taking out cocnut milk then fermenting the same.....the oil floats on top of residue which is collected....

I feel...(I may be wrong) VCO is for the western countries where availability of coconut is rare.... coconut is also very costly in western countries...

For us coconut is easily available cheap....just 20 Rs.per piece...one coconut is sufficient for full day... you can have it as cocnut milk.......instead of VCO if we consume coconut meat...it is more satiating....enjoyable..tasty....and supply us more fibers with many other nutrients which VCO lacks...

And about coconut oil....I use it for frying fish..... I love the taste.....

read this very interesting...same site....

easyayurveda.com/2013/01/11...

I would like to know about the connection between ojas and diabetes from the point of view of the diet, a diabetic person can take in. As I know, Sattvic food is very important for building ojas. But, doesn’t sattvic food in general have a sweet vipaka? If yes, will sweet vipaka affect blood sugar levels? If yes, do diabetics have no way of building up ojas?

now here is answer given by Dr hebbar..owner of site....

How to increase Ojas?

Regular intake of ghee, milk, and such other nutrition rich food.

Yoga, Pranayama, exercises, physical activities.

Mental exercises to improve concentration.

Prayer, Homa, Pooja and such other spiritual practices.

Being pious, righteous.

...Another reader asks – Home remedy to improve ojas for Vata Pitta person?

For Vata Pitta person, there is nothing better than ghee to increase Ojas. As per Ayurveda, cow ghee balances Vata and Pitta and it also improves Ojas. So, for people with such body type, regular (but limited) use of ghee in diet is recommended. Amla is also good to control Vata and Pitta.

ye ayu hai na wo aap k bas ki baat hai. Aap ki links padhate padhate chakkar aa gaya. Kitne sare words samajane padte hai.

Well yoga, pranayam and exercise all increase our lung capacity from 60-70 % that we are using normally to around 90% so that more oxygen gets absorbed into the blood. we people generate lots of ros and the increased oxygen in blood help to clear it - ros. There is less oxidative damage to the body.

In ayu ghee always mean cow ghee. I have never seen a bhaisa around lord krishna. I don't know when, why and how buffalo milk and its products got introduced in our society.

Homa pooja havan etc to purify the atmosphere. In temples ghee is used daily twice in agnikundas. I always find the air in the temples refreshing and stress relieving. Sweetness of ghee always pleases me.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply tosuramo

suramo

are bhai nahi..... here is catch.....ppl think yoga and pranayam increases lung capacity....so we get many benefits.....

but I guess...they teach body to use oxygen more efficiently.....

Dekho...more oxygen....more oxidative stress??

Now look at those ppl who stay at high altitude.... most of ppl who lived long are high altitude ppl...there oxygen is less....so they use whatever oxygen available more efficiently....

so less oxidative stress so less free radicals?? so slow aging....

what happens with us....we do good exercise....burn lots of calories....but do not take antioxidants....

U know you can observe this at platforms on mumbai....there you will find many tribal from western ghats.... very fresh air....regular lots of walking....but they age so fast....

kyu?? for the same reason....

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply tocure

Nope. Oxidative stress means more nascent oxygen generated. To neutralize this o- we need more oxygen.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply tosuramo

Mitochondria (the “power plants” of cells) are believed to be one of the main sources of free radicals. Endurance sports use more oxygen, which sends more energy through your mitochondria. In theory, the higher your metabolic rate and energy needs, the more free radicals your mitochondria will produce.

completehumanperformance.co...

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply tocure

you are looking from the wrong end. Higher metabolic rate as during exercise etc produces more ros. The body tries to get rid of these ros by increased oxygen consumption.

Hi,

Suramo...canyou please explain how O2 is utilized to get rid of O ion ...it is interesting and how does antioxidant work for this ? (We are walking chemistry lab it seems :) ...so many reactions are going in each cell of our body )

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply tokarch

Karch

you have to refer to the biochemistry for this. One can't remember all the chemical reactions going in the body.

But in simple words there is aerobic and anaerobic metabolisms. aerobic when there is sufficient oxygen. The end product is water and co2. Both are inert and disposed off by the body easily.

Anaerobic occurring in absence of oxygen. The end product is acid, e. g. lactic acid. Makes the blood ph to fall damaging the cells.

karch profile image
karch in reply tosuramo

Anaerobic : is like fermentation ...

how come these free ions of oxygen generated ?My point is how can we minimize the generation of ions of elements in body ...if somehow we get to know how the ions are generated ...we can find out a way

See ...what I got ...short yet very basic and powerful article how free radical formed in body and how can we avoid them...dont forget to read the comments ...

The question is how much antioxidants and what effective AO we can get easily ??

suramo profile image
suramoStar in reply tokarch

Karch

these free radicals come from metabolism. Nature has made our body in such a way that we need oxygen as a fire to the fuels that we use for our metabolism. The free radicals/ ros etc is the debris of that process. We can't reduce generation of ros. Hibernating creatures can do but not us.

The only thing we can do is to train our body to imbibe more oxygen from the atmosphere. Also anti oxiidants are the substances which can neutralize these free radicals.

I felt many times ...by doing yoga and pranayam we get same benefits of antiaging ...as antioxidants give...you feel more elevated energy level ... brain function ...and many articles says fasting has same benefits...

Indian diet is deficient in antioxidants...so I guess now people are getting diseases in early ages as they used to get in old ages...this is also part of aging fast

Antioxidant ki baat to samajh mein aayi par ...Question is what happens to free radicals if we do yoga and paranyam or say even meditate(just by using brain) or fast ?

from your ojas comment. I have observed that those who practice yoga daily in the morning for an hour or more have a great ojas on their face. I have met many and i recognize soon. I ask them if they are doing yoga and they say yes. You have examples of actresses Rekha and Shila Shetty before us.

hmmmm suramo basic principal of Ayurveda is imbalance of Kafa-vata-and pitta..

So accordingly Ghee is recommended or prohibited...

we can not make general assumption ....

here are two good sites...

ijppsjournal.com/Vol6Suppl1...

bhj.org.in/journal/2001_430...

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply tocure

The ancient texts tell us that ghee has anti-pitta properties and that small amounts of it can stimulate agni without aggravating pitta [2, 4, 6]. Ghee is relatively high in a volatile FA called Butyric Acid (BA) and it is this acid in the free form that gives the rancid smell of spoiled dairy products [1, 72]. BA is an important short chain (4 carbon) FA, and is one of the several short chain FAs that is also produced by anaerobic fermentation of undigested dietary fibers in the colon. Recent data have shown that colonic irrigation with solutions of BA not only relieve the inflammation associated with Crohn’s disease, but also results in transcriptional changes in gut mucosal cells that are associated with increased FA metabolism and decreased oxidative stress [27, 28, 73].

Ghee is said to increase agni [2-4, 6]. Increased agni can be viewed as an increase in energy expenditure. When one is burning calories effectively, the body will respond by increasing hunger to take in more food to support that expenditure. In the diabetic mouse model, BA has been shown to increase energy expenditure and reverse insulin insensitivity, which from an Ayurvedic standpoint is viewed as compromised agni of Kapha origin [74, 75]. Further, BA has been shown to have anti-tumor activity [29, 30] which can be attributed to pacifying Kapha dosha. These data can be interpreted as increasing agni by pacifying Kapha but without aggravating Pitta.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply tojingale

@jingle

Don't know....but they say it is useful for diabetic...

diabetesselfmanagement.com/...

Abnormalities in the body’s production of nitric oxide have been implicated in high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries), diabetes, erectile dysfunction, and stroke.

Scientists are furthest along in their understanding of nitric oxide in the area of heart disease. Normally, cells lining the inner wall of blood vessels secrete nitric oxide, which travels to the muscle cells around the blood vessels and causes them to widen, allowing easier blood flow. Impaired nitric oxide production may contribute to constricted blood vessels, high blood pressure (especially in the 90% of cases with no identifiable cause), and atherosclerosis. Scientists now know that nitroglycerin and similar drugs dilate blood vessels and help alleviate angina – temporary chest pain resulting from insufficient oxygen to the heart – because the drugs release nitric oxide.

now a days there is a trend MI > angiography > angioplasty or bypass before giving patients time to think. Patients and relatives are in panic and surrender to the advice.

There is person living just opp to my house. Heavy body. 3 vessels blocked 4 yrs back. Advised bypass but he didn't consent. Started walking and pranayama. Reduced weight to great extent. He is still fit and fine at 70+ age. You should have patience. And my friend underwent bypass without any complaints.

But pranayam and yoga do work.

Cure, I know you understand the problem, and know you have a good heart. You probably believe that cutting out the cause is the answer. What I don't understand is your insistence in muddying the the waters with the ancient mystery. Insisting I have should an open mind to the possibilities is plain silly. I have been researching the subject of diet and health for 8 years now and can assure you that if there were a wonder pill, needle, herb or cow urine 'cure' I would have turned it up.

I can assure you have an open mind that is amenable to change. I believe in facts, and if the facts change, so does my mind. That is why I absolutely believe in hard science and data and why I am insulted when the only challenge to my stance is to suggest the data is compromised. Data is the ONLY thing we have to tease out the truth, and why double blind, randomised trials and peer reviewed publications are there to eliminate as much as possible bias and conflicting interests.

The plain facts are that if you continue a diet full of carbohydrate, which I assume you believe to be the cause diabetes, your diabetes will continue unabated. Try it - discontinue the Metformin or whatever and just try the wonder pill, needle, herb or cow urine in any combination of your choice and see what happens to you blood sugar. However science doesn't work like that - it's called confounding variables - so if there was an improvement, what was the element that did the trick?

Then why bother when the answer is staring you at you from a computer screen?

Look at the biggest low carb site in the world (and growing exponentially) and look at the success stories. Look at the heavy hitting contributors - check their provenance and challenge their conclusions if you can:

dietdoctor.com/diabetes

I can absolutely guarantee there will be no wonder pill, needle, herb or cow urine cures.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply toMikePollard

MikePollard

Hmm..I never thought there is some wonder pill or herb which will cure my diabetes....

Never thought or some 'urine therapy'...even when most of ancients civilizations followed same...including 'Semitic religions' .

I wish you to do little more search on net about herbs like Coccinia indica...cinnamon .....nigella sativa....and turmeric and double blind studies done all over the world on these herbs by scientists of various universities.

There is no doubt that a diabetic should restrict on his carbs consumption.And to compensate he should increase good fats.There is no shortcut no wonder pill no 'fountain of youth' going to help.

At the same time one must admit that just by restricting carbs you are able to control you PPBS.....low carbs have very less effect on your FBS. And therefore these herbs are most essential and helpful for a diabetic.

Mike I learned lot from you.....I always mention your statement....but wish you could think about all possibilities to win this war without prejudiced mind.

They just want to catch the moving wagon full of people and start selling their "xyz" drugs :D

What will happen if drug reduce present free radicals and generate more new ones...as if free radicals get electrons from someone to complete their orbit...the one who gave electron will become reactive and try to find someone else to get electron from ....this is a chain reaction ...the question is other ions apart from oxygen can also become free radicals ...isnt it ??

Its very confusing ...

suramo profile image

Karch

science is confusing. Simply anti oxidants + free radical isan inert product and removed from body without harming. If you know science look around you. Every metal is inert but then there are radioactive metals. They have free radicals and harmful. You have to neutralize them with substances- anti oxidants to make them inert.

All heavy metals have isotopes and the protons nucleus repel each other, so radioactive metals are reactive to get rid of high tension of repulsion in nucleous...

Hmmm it is always said that yoga helps you to increase your lung capacity and so you get some anti aging effects...

But I think if it is so..then we will see same effects to athletes...they have bigger lung capacity....

if we keenly observe various asanas and effects described that particular asanas...we see that with that particular asana the pressure/sort of massage is created on same....

Like bhramari pranayam...or khechari mudra for thyroid problem....by bhramari pranayam.. sort of vibrations are made which stimulate thyroid glands .

But its pranayam...the control on your breathing...which teaches your body to utilize oxygen more efficiently....

And so body uses less oxygen ...more efficiently used oxygen.........less oxygen....less free radicals.....

Good one...why dont you start writing blogs ...(and this is not joke )

"khechari mudra" what is that ?

Do you want to say ...with pranayam ...do we learn to tune our breathe for utilizing O2 better in body?? But what about meditation ...meditation /mind power is also amazing if talk to treat diseases or antiaging....how does that work??

I see if yoga combined with guided meditation gives amazing results...and without meditation its like body without soul

Q: Does brain is also somehow related to release chemicals/hormones which can slow down the generation free radicals and so put a brake on aging?

Concerned.

1) you can't minimize the free radicals if you have no addiction. But surely if have some bad habit like smoking and you give it up.

2) go for the best anti oxidant without any tag - oxygen. By yoga exercise etc.

How much time daily these sarvangasana and halasana tobe made for cure the thyroid problems No medicine required ?

It is difficult to consume too much liquid form You also covered Ayurveda and homeopathy in combined form both system different . In Allopathy tablets or capsules given it is easy to consume any time either in thehouse or going outside ontours also.

So any talets type medicine if in homeopathy for quickcontrol please share.

Further i carb is the main source of sugar level increaseing in the factor.

If you consume one or 2 glucosetablets immediatley after 30 minuts blood sugar rise huge no.So toavoid excessof carb isgood thing

You are iformed for blance diet In Balnce diet 50-55 % carb it may be too much for the diabetes person. Then excess of sulfunal;urea to be taken otherwise Blood sugar spikes huge no.

As a homeopathic Doctor what is your suggestion or diabetic diet to be planned

Can you share the diabetic dietplan for vegetarian how to maintained blood sugar level in normally.
