Blood pressure normalised (stopped allopathic medicine viz. prisoprorol 10mg, olmastratan 20 mg, simvastutri 20 mg, antidiprive 5mg)
the loss of senses in the feet reverted back to normal sensation |
TESTIMONIAL I was
a type 2 diabetic, diagnosed some 14 years, taking up to 80 units of
mixtard a day and only just controlling my sugar levels.
A year ago I decided to try to turn my health issues
around. So I tried various diets/ fasts to reduce weight, sugar
levels, and blood pressure with varying degrees of success.
In January of this year I visited an ayurvedic
clinic in Goa for two weeks and again in March for three weeks.
The approach there was through diet,
massage/treatments and not particularly rigorous. The diet is easy to
follow and substantial. In the first
visit I reduced my weight by 10 kg and cut down my mixtard injections
from 40 units a day to zero, with good sugar control. I have not used
insulin since.
In my second visit I
lost a further 9 kg and my sugar levels remain normal.
Whilst this approach may not work for everybody I
would like to share my experience with other type 2 diabetes
sufferers.
