3. DEFINITION
 Diabetes mellitus is a persisting state of hyperglycemia
due to lack or diminished effectiveness of endogenous
insulin.
 It is premonitory stage of glycosuria
 10% of population are affected

4. PANCREAS

5. INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT & CURE
 Karyum :Symptoms
Objective (macro and micro)
Subjective (mental and body)
 Karanum :Causes
Food excess and deficiency
macro and micro toxin
Internal and external toxin
Remote and recent toxin
Changes in age, seasons, regimen

6. Liver and Pancreas

7. Holistic treatment
 Prevent the complications
 Slow down the absorption of glucose from intestine.
 Increase the insulin secretion
 Promote tissue sensitivity to insulin and other enzymes
 Reduce the reabsorption of excess glucose from renal
tubules.
 Improve the overall health.
 Control the everyday problems of living

8. ANABOLISM & CATABOLISM
 Glucose  3% Glycogen formation.
 30% Protein and fat formation
67% Energy synthesis
 Energy synthesis with insulin 30%
 Energy synthesis with oxygen 70 %
 Expel Co2……. Take O2

9. HYPERGLYCEMIA SYMPTOMS
 Polyuria, lethargy, excessive thirst, increased
appetite, and dehydration.
 Polyuria facilitates loss of water-soluble vitamin and
minerals, dehydration and haemo concentration.
 Other symptoms are rapid breathing, visual defects,
pruritus, paresthesia, neuropathy with pain and skin
infections.

10. HYPOGLYCEMIA SYMPTOMS
 Headache, Dizziness, BlurredVision,Anxiety,
Tachycardia, Palpitation, Slurred speech, Sleepless,
Anger, Criminal thoughts, Irritability, Confusion, Fear,
Tremor,Tissue swelling, Cold sweating , Numbness,
Nausea, Insomnia and Fatigue.
 Anxiety is developed in hypoglycemia due to
release of stress hormones. Seizures and coma may
be developed in severe stage.

11. PREDISPOSING FACTORS
 Stress effects: Gastric and Pancreatic digestive weakness
Endocrine insufficiency Adrenal hyper function
 Constant use of steroids Chronic pancreatitis
 Haemo chromatosis of pancreas and liver (alcohol &
wine)
 Autoimmune factor Liver weakness
 Thickness of cell membrane of neurons (deposition of
cholesterol) and muscles

12. PREDISPOSING FACTORS
 wheat crops polluted with uranium toxins (Radiation
toxicity to renal tubules)
 Soluble fibre, and Inulin.
The soluble fibre (fructose) persist in blood in long
period without transporting to lymph fluid.
They include oats, coffee, barley, banana, garlic, onions,
Jerusalem artichokes (sunflower root) and chicory.
 Oats (vanadium, chromium, ergot, magnesium high, soluble fibre)

13. PREDISPOSING FACTORS

Lithium, Opium, Sympathomimetics,Tobacco,
Nicotinic acid, and Paracetamol
 Pungent is homoeopathicity, and anti kafa medicine

14. PREDISPOSING FACTORS
 Endocrine insufficiency secondary to consumption
of sugar crystals, sweets, soda drinks, beetroot,
potato, corn powder, cooked vegetable, dry fruits,
sweet vegetables and fruits.
 White rice, white bread, white flour products,
refined starch
 Maida (added alloxan - bleaching agent-protein acid
-toxic to beta cells)

15. PREDISPOSING FACTORS
 Disaccharide like sucrose, lactose, maltose (barley)
and raffinose.
 Sucrose contains one molecule of glucose and one
molecule of insoluble fructose.
They are deposited on RBC, nerve cells and renal
filtration pores.Thus, the efficiency of these organs is
reduced progressively

16. PREDISPOSING FACTORS
 The diet contains excess of insoluble fibre-
cellulose, condensed starch, and polysaccharide can
adversely affect the pancreatic digestive efficiency.
 High molucular weight soluble sugar fibers persist
in blood in long period due to not transporting to
lymph fluid.

17. PREDISPOSING FACTORS
 Pesticide: 1, 3 dichloropropene contaminated items
( used in Tobacco, Cotton, Onion, Potato,
Beetroot, Peanut, and Carrot-ground food toxin)

21. DIET
 Take Carbohydrate(fibre) 50%, Fat 30% and Protein
20%.(5:3:2)
 Take balanced diet proportionate to body weight and
work with adequate calories.
 Daily total calories = body weight x 25 calories with
composition of high protein for lean
person(Hypoglycemia-4:3:3)

30. SOUR MEDICINE Very weak acids include acetic acid, citric acid,
phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid
 They can clear the waste debris present at pores of
cell membrane.They can promote haemo dilution
directly.
 Acids and pungent promote protein digestion and
prevents formation of auto immune factors
 Consume pungent medicines (spice) include ginger,
cinnamon (tissue sensitivity), curcuma, and pepper to
promote proper digestion of protein

31. BITTER MEDICINES
 They can increase the size of vacuoles in cells and
give the space inside the liver and muscle cells for
glucose storage.([Prevents cirrhosis;Astringent
promotes cirrhosis)
 They open pores

starch digestion. It may promote gas formation.

33. TISSUE SENSITIVITY
 Insulin is essential to help the entry of glucose from lymph
fluid (30 litre) to muscle cells, fat cells; and glycogen
formation. Molucular weight of insulin is in between7000 to
5000(5801.6/g/mol). Small size insulin with potassium ion
(act as vehicle) enters through cell membrane pores easily.
 Glucose is entered into RBC, liver cells, eyes and brain cells
(350 crores) without insulin. Entry of glucose is reduced
when the cell membrane of neurons become thickened due
to deposition of cholesterol in middle layer by hypoxia.

34. INSULIN SECRETION
 Para sympathomimetic(Fenugreek), high
Potassium(Emu meat), Calcium(lime water), low
Magnesium and Sulphur (Jack fruit seed) can promote
release of insulin from pancreatic cells depot.
 Alcohol (high dose-sympatholytic) not only stimulates
beta cells and insulin release but also increases tissue
sensitivity.
 Alcohol drops dose is sympathomimetic
(adrenogenic)

35. TISSUE SENSITIVITY
 Medicines promoting Acetylcholine (Para
sympathomimetic-Fenugreek, Ipecac, Jaborandi And
Physostigma ) are helpful to increase the size of
pores in muscle and fat cells.
 Galega, Zingiber officinalis and Cinnamon increase
insulin sensitivity of tissues. (Pungent opens pores)

36. EXERCISE
 Promotes utilization of glucose by skeleton muscles.
 Practice breathing exercise regularly to increase the
efficiency of alveoli (total alveoli are about 150 crores),
to increase the oxygen reserve for the aerobic glucose
metabolism, and to expel the carbon dioxide.
 Take sun bath (March haemoglobinuria) to promote
renal excretion by increasing the size of filtration pores.

37. MANIPULATIVE MEASURES
 Take spinal manipulation near mid thoracic region
T6 to T10.
 Apply sesame oil on abdomen.
 Rub with concentrated salt solution on whole skin
before bath.
 Rub both palm and sole many ties daily

38. HYPERKALEMIA in adrenal insufficiency, atherosclerosis.
 Mild hyperkalemia (<5 mg %) is better in individual
those have sustained high blood sugar level.
 Increased K+ and Ca++ with low Mg++ in lymph
facilitate pumping insulin from pancreas depot.
 the normal blood level of Mg in adult is about 1.5-
2.5mEq/L
 Fruits and whole grain contain good quantities of
Potassium.

39. HYPERKALEMIA IN ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY,
ATHEROSCLEROSIS.
 Slow pulse, ECG changes (Bradycardia, raised ST
segment, wide QRS interval, and low R wave voltage)
and periodic weakness are the common symptoms in
hyperkalemia.
 Adrenal insufficiency, low aldosterone, renal disorder,
continuous use of NSAIDs, Sulpha drugs, and diuretics
can predispose hyperkalemia.Though increased level of
Potassium and Insulin in blood can lower blood sugar
level, it may cause Atherosclerosis.

40. ATHEROSCLEROSIS
 Excess of insulin
 Lack of oxygen-lipolysis; 2/3 goes for formation of
ketone and Cholesterol(1/3 is transformed to
glucose)
 Lack of thyroid hormones
 Vascular injury due to crystal deposition by
dehydration & acidosis
 Treatment: Promote saliva by proper chewing and
make alkalosis.Take breathing exercise.
