He came for chiropractic care but when he showed her the large oozing ulcers on his legs she suggested that he try ozone therapy. He said that his medical doctors could offer no solution except amputation.. His legs were both swollen. At first they broke out in blisters, which broke open and grew to about 2 inches in diameter oozing puss, which dripped down his legs. He used a portable ozone generator from Del Industries designed for water purifying. Following Dr. Kolker's directions he put a large plastic bag around his legs one at a time and inserted the ozone hose. He did this twice a day for about 30 minutes. In 3 to 4 days his ulcers stopped oozing and within a week they had shrunk to less than an inch in diameter. By the end of January the swelling of his legs had reduced substantially and his ulcers were almost gone. He used the portable O3 generator from Del Industries (DEL ZO 103) NOTE: Ozone is used in German and Swiss clinics to cure gangrene.

As per Indian Vedic System of diet, one needs to consume as much food as much one can take in BRAHMCHARY ASHRAM( 0-25 YEARS), 32 kore in GRAHASTHA ASHRAM(25-50 YEARS), 16 Kore in VANPRASHA ASHRAM ( 50-75 YEARS) and 8 Kore in SANYAS ASHRAM( 75-100 YEARS) But since every body's life style is different so this theory cannot be blindly followed but one has to do some experiments to find out the correct quantity of food to be taken at his age and for his body. This theory of Vedic diet seems to be universally valid in all time and all region since all over the world, more than 90 percent people gain weight from the age 25-50 years and with this extra fat on their bodies, all kinds of diseases come to one's body. I was suffering from type-2 diabetes since 2003 and I could maintain my blood sugar level by completely stopping sugar and taking herbs till 2008 without taking any medicine but from Jan, 2009, it became impossible to keep my blood sugar in normal level , no matter what effort I made, Then I came across the VEDIC STYLE OF DIET. I started reducing my diet slowly over a period of 10 -12 months till I felt little dizziness weakness once in a week or so and I presumed that quantity of food to be the right diet for my age and for my body. There is another way of finding the right diet for oneself. One should keep reducing one's diet till one does not feel hungry before taking his regular food and one does not feel his stomach full even after taking his regular meals I.E. One does not feel any difference in his stomach, before or after taking one's meals. This feeling is really so great that it cannot be described in words, one has to do experiments to find its true worth. It may take six months to one year for achieving this target of finding the right diet for oneself but once one reaches this target, THE FEELING ONE GETS IS SUPERB. NOW AT THE AGE OF 58 YEARS MY BLOOD SUGAR IS 80/110 AND BLOOD PRESSURE IS 70/110 FOR THE LAST ONE YEAR OR SO WITHOUT TAKING ANY KIND OF MEDICINE OR HERBS EVEN. THIS INFORMATION MAY BE MADE USE OF BY DIABETIC PATIENT BUT DOING EXPERIMENTS WITH ONE'S BODY, ONE HAS TO BE VERY CAREFUL AND ONE SHOULD CONTACT DOCTOR IF ONE FEELS ANY UNDESIRABLE EFFECT ON ONE'S BODY. Since I reduced my weight from 66 kg to 52 kg in 15 months by following Vedic system of diet so I got myself checked by Apolo Hospital Gurgaon for Annual health check up on 05 04 2011. All the organs were found to be working normally and all the parameters of body were found to be normal so it seems that Vedic diet is the best option available for us to prevent health problems.

I have been on insulin for nine years. On June 19, 2011 I started drinking 2 glasses of water, 12 oz each with one tablespoon of acv, I sip it with a straw during the day. As the days went by I started feeling better and within weeks I noticed I had to use less insulin. Now, instead of taking 3 to 4 units of humilin I only need one with my breakfast of egg and toast. In the last few days, this being July 23, I realize I need less of my night time insulin--lantus. My BS dropped to 54 last night and I had to drink a regular soda pop to bring up my BS. This morning my BS was 129. On July 29th I have a Doctor's appointment to get my A1C test. I will write back and let you know the results. My last A1C was 7.1.

I have never been prescribed potassium, but potassium sparing diuretic drugs instead which cause intolerable side effects. I have found that drinking orange juice with each meal has helped dramatically to regulate my blood sugar. Getting adequate levels of potassium each day is paramount to my health despite attempts of today's medical professionals (17) trying to help. If the body needs potassium give it potassium not ACE inhibitors, etc. My pancreas produces large amounts of insulin so for those who do not produce insulin I would be careful with the orange juice. The orange juice has worked incredible for my digestion. I need a source for potassium bicarbonate preferably pharmaceutical grade. I purchased some from a compounding pharmacy in my area but would like to purchase online for myself if possible. Any suggestions? This is a terrific site. Thanks for everyone who shares their results. I am currently doing castor oil packs on my kidneys and abdomen to see if I can get these adrenal/kidney and pancreas regulated. I will share back if I can get my potassium to regulate without the use of potassium bicarb, this would suggest that the castor oil packs have done their job. Does anyone have a source for pharmaceutical grade potassium bicarb or having good results with the source they are currently using? Thanks.

A response from one of my private emails.... The cause of diabetes is relatively simple: sugar and oil. The cure is also as simple. Now let's discuss the fad diets that works, once you know the true cause, you know that it is an elaboration of those two simple principles. Some people who tried to cure diabetes go relatively off tangent and tell you that eating raw food works. Yes, it usually works because raw food doesn't entail the use of oils in cooking. But raw food is not the answer because you can end up eating fruit. But some raw food experts say no fruits, so that works too. Then there is the diet called the low glycemic diet, called the South pacific diet that works, unfortunately they don't work all the time and you can still become diabetic, because oils, mostly from vegetable oils just was overlooked. Then there is a Atkin's diet. Eating meats will get your blood sugar down because they don't contain carbs that caused diabetes. But this overlooks the key fact that oils is still used in cooking. The low glycemic diets overlooked the fact that no sugar are alike. Fructose bypasses your insulin, because insulin merely controls blood glucose. So you have a backdoor sugar to damage your system! As to the reason why oils cause diabetes is relatively simple: oils blocks cellular respiration and CANNOT utilize the sugar in the blood plasma. So you have to have a lot of sugar in your blood plasma to get inside the cells. The cells become more anaerobic and less aerobic, because it blocks cellular respiration. If you put a thin film of oil in a bath tub or aquarium, the fish and the mosquito larva immediately dies, because oil blocks the oxygen needed for life. Oil reduces respiration. Once it is reduced, the body simply cannot burn the sugar, so you end up with excess sugar. The worse oils are the vegetable oils because they get easily absorbed, contains long chain triglycerides which are very difficult to digest, because they ARE long chain. The coconut oils generally speaking has 50% Medium chain triglycerides and provides a back door energy mechanism called the ketone bodies that cells can burn WITHOUT the sugar. So it is a back door to energy without the use of carbs. It also prevents constipation. Try it, your stools is guaranteed to be soft. And I know this from many clients in ICU or people on long term patient care. It always works. You generally won't need any more laxative, but you still need to be alkalized and get your electrolytes in balanced. The REASON why I used lecithin is remarkably easy. It emulsifies fat to be water soluble so THAT alone increases cellular respiration and oils no longer in the way and once they are oil are water soluble, the body can get rid of it easier. Sugar are burned more easier if there is enough cellular respiration. Oils blocks hormone signals that tells the cell what to do. If they got nothing to do, because they receive no signals, they cannot burn the sugar.

Main ingredients in this juice are celery, cucumbers, parsley, ginger, and occasionally I will throw in spinach, bok choy, and other green vegetables and herbs for different taste and flavor. Absolutely no fruits or root veggies like carrots, beets, etc in this juice.

Abstract: "Synthetic ligands of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) have shown antidiabetic activity in mice, apparently owing to the fact that they stimulate the transcriptional activity of PPAR-gamma/RXR heterodimers, much like thiazolidinedione drugs. The chlorophyll metabolite phytanic acid has been shown to be a natural ligand for RXR, active in concentrations near its physiological levels. It is thus reasonable to suspect that phytanic acid may have utility for treatment and prevention of human type 2 diabetes. Phytanic acid may mimic or complement various effects of conjugated linoleic acids, which have been shown to activate PPAR-gamma/RXR and prevent rodent diabetes. Administration of hydrolyzed chlorophyll may represent the most cost-effective strategy for raising human tissue levels of phytanic acid."
