Dealing With Diabetes


Learning to deal with diabetes is never easy. It is bad enough we have to live in a greed-based world filled with confusion, violence, media junk, and so on. Still, those with diabetes can live healthy providing they adhere to diet, medications and exercise. Diabetes is a serious condition. The disease is the mother of all disease in the world and it is a killer.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that you can get if you do not eat right or take care of your body. Genetics play a part in diabetes as well. In fact, hereditary is a hard cause of the problem. The disease can cause blindness. The disease can lead to amputation of legs, or feet. Diabetes is a disease that when your body does not produce enough insulin to break down sugar in the bloodstream. Diabetes includes two types, yet various levels are considered. Diabetes includes Diabetes Insipidus and Mellitus.

The first diabetes is where your body is incapable of producing enough insulin to do what its supposed to do. This type of diabetes is treatable. You will need medications, exercise and strict diet to maintain your health. Diabetes Mellitus has five types. Each type results from insulin interruptions whereas the system is disrupted. The disruption causes chaos within the body’s ability to function. The body cannot act naturally and it takes insulin shots to treat this condition depending on the type.

How would I know that I have this disease called diabetes?
If you go to your doctors on a regular basis, your doctor will monitor your health. If you have family history of diabetes, let your doctor know so he/she can conduct random testing. A glucose test is necessary to find diabetes. Blood lab tests are useful also to spot diabetes.

What you should watch for?
Drinking but not filling your thirst quench. If you feel fatigue often and don’t know, then you should be tested. Diabetes, depending on the type makes a person feels weak, endure pain, lose weight, gain weight, etc. The disease is so confusing to the bodily functions that it doesn’t know the direction to head.

What can I do to help me not to get this disease?
No one has control over disease but you. If you adhere to regular checkups, the doctor can spot the disease at an early stage, which the disease then can be managed. You need to eat right and do excises daily to help maintain your weight, since diabetes takes delight in feeding the disease to the point of death.

What happens to those with diabetes?
Unfortunately, the disease is not partial. The disease targets young and old alike. Once the disease develops it puts the person at risk of blindness.


Some people lose their legs or other limbs resulting from diabetes. Most people with diabetes are at risk of kidney failure. If you already have diabetes then listen to your doctor and follow all instructions. One of the top recommendations to diabetes patients is to consume much fluids. Your body is losing fluids as diabetes drains your bodily organs of its natural elements. You will also need to avoid saturated fat foods and basic sugars. In addition, your doctor will need to test you regularly to control your illness.

You want to take care when diabetes is present since it can lead to meningitis, headaches, tachycardia, dehydration, muscle weakness, pain, and so on. In addition, you may endure blurred vision, sexual dysfunctions, slow healing, and so on. Again, diabetes is a killer; so take care of your health.

Herbs Against UTI


Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infections that can plaque women. Symptoms of UTI, as outlined in Dr. Earl Mindell’s Secrets Of Natural Health (Keats Publishing, 2000) can be : burning or cramping sensation in the lower abdomen or behind the pelvic bone ; burning pain on urination ; urgency or the feeling of a strong need to urinate ; foul – smelling urine. Here’s some of Dr. Earl Mindell’s natural herbal diuretics that can help encourage the flow of fluids that cleanses the urinary tract.

·          Uva – Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)
·         This is an honored old folk remedy for UTIs. It acts as a diuretic, antibacterial agent, and astringent.  A tea is the most recommended way to take it. Caution : Do not take more than the recommended dose, as it can be toxic at high doses.

·         Parsley (Petroselinum sativum)
·         This herb is also a diuretic and it contains nourishing chlorophyll and minerals that are healing to the urinary tract. It also happens to be good for digestion and is a wonderful breath freshener. Caution : Do not drink parsley tea if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

·         Garlic
·         Garlic is a potent antibacterial agent. Eat raw garlic in your salad, use it in cooking, or if
·         You don’t like the odor, take the odorless capsules.

·         Cranberry Juice
Scientists have discovered that a substance in the cranberry prevents bacteria from clinging to the wall of the uretha, allowing them to be washed out during urination. Caution : Don’t buy cranberry juice heavily sweetened with sugars, which will negate any good the cranberry is doing. Either mix it with the smallest possible amount of a sweeter juice, such as grape juice, or water it down enough so that you can drink it unsweetened. Drink at least two 8-ounce glasses a day, Dr. Mindell suggested
