Hypnosis Inductions

Alternative treatment for diabetes

Alternative medicine is a health-related processes not formally classified as a Western medical practices. Also known as complementary medicine, alternative medicine may include dietary and lifestyle changes, and includes everything from acupuncture to supplement use. In some cases, alternative treatments undocumented or even dangerous, so it is important to identify treatments that are safe and those which pose a potential treatment. Always consult a doctor before including alternative therapies in your diabetes management routine.

To illustrate this point, it is important to recall ephedrine (aka Ma Huang) ban in early 2003. It was the first herbal stimulant ever banned by the FDA. A popular part of the anti-obesity medicine, ephedrine was found to cause more harm than good, with side effects including insomnia, high blood pressure, glaucoma, urinary retention, and stroke. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you always consult a doctor before the introduction of alternative therapies in your health regimen.

Dietary supplements. Perhaps the area where you should take most care is in the arena of nutritional supplements. There are many snake oil salesmen out there, happy to exploit your desire for better health. Here is a quick reference list of supplements that are frequently associated with diabetes management.

• Magnesium has been a subject of interest in medical circles for its potential to improve blood sugar levels, as a lack of magnesium have been correlated with abnormalities in insulin secretion.
• There have been several studies that support the use of chromium used for diabetes control although there are no formal medical recommendations for the use of diabetes management.
• Some studies have suggested that vanadium, a plant derivative, can increase a person's sensitivity to insulin.
• Some other food supplement believed by some to control their diabetes include garlic, ginger, ginseng, hawthorn and nettles. ALWAYS with your doctor before you introduce significant of these elements in your diet.

Weight Management. Weight and diabetes are often linked, so weight management is often a cornerstone of diabetes treatment. Many people with diabetes turn to alternative therapies to help with weight loss. Some possible (though unsubstantiated and potentially dangerous) weight loss supplements include chitosan, Momordica charanta, sauropus androgynus, aristolochic acid, camsogia Garcinia (Hydroxycitric acid), pyruvate, germander, Momordica charanta, chromium, pyruvate, germander and Momordica charanta. ALWAYS discuss weight management with your personal physician before introducing some of these in your diet.

Crop and Natural Foods. Brewer's yeast, buckwheat, broccoli and other related greens, okra, peas, fenugreek seeds, and sage are all examples of plant foods just some to help with diabetes management. The vast majority of plant foods are high in fiber, which is certainly useful in monitoring both glucose levels and appetite. Similarly, a recent report in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that individuals who drank 3 to 4 cups of coffee (decaf or regular) had a 25 percent lower risk of diabetes than those who did not. Further studies are required, but there may be a link between coffee beans and diabetes prevention.

Alternative Physical Therapies. Exercise is really the only FDA-approved physical therapy, and even with exercise, it is important to consult a physician before implementing drastic changes in your exercise regimen. In addition to exercise some alternative therapies include meditation, acupuncture, yoga, aromatherapy, massage and even hypnosis. Again discuss this practice with your doctor before including them, as they can be expensive and is not proven diabetes management tools.
