3, do prayer as teachers by Ron Roth or others healer to settle the mind so that the body will balance itself.

One absolutely needs to get into silence or what is called peace within the prayer. That is the same state as in Qigong or internal ma where the Zhen Qi starts to accumulate and balancing itself and physical can be transform. That is the state of let go let God.


most people 90% of so called martial artists cant get there and even meditator cant get there so get there via prayer. The short path and with ease.


Change the life style, change the body. that is reality. Who said one doesnt have a choice?

you know, Type I, the kind that has nothing to do w/lifestyle and all that; how would you guys approach that from a TCM perspective?

asking because my kung-fu bro's son has it, and their cost for his meds just tripled thanks to the fu*kers at Medco, so just wondering what sort of adjunctive options might be available to maybe help decrease his regular dosage...not looking for anything radical to put the kid at risk, of course, just wondering what's out there...

See her,

My grandson has type 1 also and getting him to eat right and check his sugars and take the right amount of insulin if needed, or eat high carbs if low - is a constant daily struggle.. I have tried to take him to taiji class, but he is not interested. If he was interested in external styles I would pay for him to take kung fu, but no such "luck".

Once a kid has spent a lifetime in and out of hospitals, and near death several times... there is nothing you can discipline him with, and he won't discipline himself... and his med stuff does cost a fortune...

However, now you got the name of the researcher, her university and the pub reference, so that's a good lead. Follow up on that and I'm sure it will be fruitful.

Chinese herbs may hold back diabetes: study
www.chinaview.cn 2009-10-15 14:13:58

BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- Traditional Chinese herbal medicines may help prevent the development of diabetes in the early stages, new research suggests.

The research, conducted by a research team of Center for Complementary Medicine Research at the University of Western Sydney, Australia, was carried out in April 2008 and March this year in conjunction with the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

In the study, the researchers examined 16 clinical trials including 1,391 people of 15 different herbal formulations. The results were positive, but more evidence is still needed, researchers say.

The research concluded that the herbs generally helped lower blood sugar levels in people with "pre-diabetes."

It also suggested that adding an herbal remedy to lifestyle changes doubled the chance of participants' blood sugar levels returning to normal.

The Chinese herbal mixes, which have been used for a long time to treat diabetes in China, Korea and Japan, are thought to work in many ways to help normalize blood sugar levels, including by improving pancreatic function and increasing the availability of insulin.

But Suzanne Grant, the lead researcher of the study, pointed out that the Chinese herbs are only to recommended on a patients' individual situation.

By far, the study did not find serious side effects caused by the herbs. However, Grant noted, like all medicines, herbs may have potential side effects or interactions with other drugs.

Chinese Herbal Medicines For Preventing Diabetes In High Risk People: Still Not Enough Hard Scientific Evidence

ScienceDaily (Oct. 9, 2009) — More research is required to establish whether Chinese herbal medicines can reduce the likelihood of developing diabetes, according to Cochrane Researchers. Although herbal medicines are widely used in Asian countries to treat pre-diabetes (impaired glucose tolerance or IGT), the precursor of the disease, researchers say there is still not enough hard scientific evidence to confidently recommend their use.

"People with impaired glucose tolerance are more likely to develop full blown diabetes and it may be possible to prevent or delay the onset of the disease through lifestyle changes and medication. Chinese herbal medicines have been used for this purpose for a long time, so there is plenty of anecdotal evidence for their safety and effectiveness, but we were interested to find out whether scientific research could provide a basis for recommending these alternative treatments," says lead researcher, Suzanne Grant of the Centre for Complementary Medicine Research at the University of Western Sydney in Australia.

Pre-diabetes is recognised by higher than normal blood sugar levels. People with pre-diabetes are advised to change their diets to control their blood glucose levels and prevent progress to diabetes. In China, Korea and Japan herbal pills, teas and powders have been used for a long time to treat pre-diabetes and diabetes. They are thought to work in a number of different ways to help normalise blood sugar levels, including by improving pancreatic function and increasing the availability of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.

The researchers considered data from 16 clinical trials including 1,391 people who received 15 different herbal formulations. According to their findings, combining herbal medicines with lifestyle changes is twice as effective as lifestyle changes alone at normalising patients' blood sugar levels. Those given the herbal formulations were less likely to develop full blown diabetes during the study period. Trials included in the review lasted from one month to two years. No adverse effects were reported in any of the trials.

"Our results suggest that some Chinese herbal medicines can help to prevent diabetes, but we really need more research before we can confidently say that these treatments work," says Grant. "The real value of the study is as guidance for further trials. We need to see more trials that make comparisons with placebos and other types of drugs, and better reporting on the outcomes of these trials."

Gene,

Since you aren't in the field of TCM and diabetes, you probably don't know its nothing new. We treat it daily and there are many Herbal Rx's that take care of diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Diet and exercise are the main treatment, with herbs and acupuncture being a way to buy you time for making lifestyle changes.

That researcher is but one resource...there are thousands of licensed Acupuncturists throughout the country, who if worth a darn, can all treat diabetes well.
