Diabetes with Concurrent Neuropathy – A Case History and Video Testimonial

This patient came to our clinic only two months ago  seeking remedies for his diabetes and neuropathy – this is an accompanying condition when the nerves in the extremeties (hands and feet) get numb and degenerate due to high blood sugar levels .

As you know, with Vaidya Mishra’s SV Ayurveda protocols, we do have remedies for diabetes, which I will mention further in this article, but first we had to find out what may have caused his diabetes in the first place so that we could address the root cause.  Otherwise, the SVA herbs would/could have some effect, but probably minimally at best.

During a client’s first visit, my protocol is to first identify any/all weaknesses I detect in the physiology. Then, based on my findings, whether those weaknesses are directly connected to the actual condition or not, I treat them first by prescribing a program of herbs to address those imbalances. On the second visit, which occurs usually the next week, we discuss all aspects of a healthy SVA diet, and in so doing, will usually identify some mistakes the patient has been making which more than likely contributed to their symptoms.

In his first visit, I established that Richard’s liver and pancreas needed attention. Usually the six stages of the disease process ending with diabetes begin with the liver. When the patient does nothing to address the liver imbalance, the disease/imbalance continues to grow, to the point where the liver can’t function properly.  One of the functions of the liver is to keep blood sugar in check. If left unaddressed, blood sugar levels can slowly rise over time.  After years of neglecting the liver imbalance/condition, the pancreas will eventually get involved.

The Liver’s Role in Regulating Blood Sugar

The liver stores as well as produces sugar.  The liver acts as the body’s glucose (or fuel) reservoir, and helps to keep your circulating blood sugar levels and other body fluids steady and constant.  The liver both stores and manufactures glucose depending upon the body’s need.   The need to store or release glucose is primarily signaled by the hormones insulin and glucagon (made by the pancreas).

During a meal, your liver will store sugar, or glucose, as glycogen for a later time when your body needs it.  The high levels of insulin and suppressed levels of glucagon during a meal promote the storage of glucose as glycogen.

When you’re not eating, especially overnight or between meals, the body has to make its own sugar.  The liver supplies sugar or glucose by turning glycogen into glucose in a process called glycogenolysis.  The liver also can manufacture necessary sugar or glucose by harvesting amino acids, waste products and fat byproducts.  This process is called glucogenesis.  I mention these important details to remind everyone to always address the liver when dealing with diabetes — we don’t just focus on the pancreas.

Early Intervention is Key

I see numerous patients in the early stages of liver malfunction whose blood sugar is gradually but steadily increasing like this.  The doctors tell them to cut back on sweets and perform annual blood work to monitor the blood sugar.  Once the blood sugar maintains high levels regularly, they resort to the use of pharmaceuticals to lower/control the blood sugar levels.  These medications are not only riddled with side effects, but they do not address the underlying imbalances creating the blood sugar problem in the first place.

These are some of the many reasons I stick with Shaka Vansiya Ayurveda (SVA) — by detecting the early stages of imbalances, one can affect changes soon enough to prevent the condition from developing into a full blown disease.  Don’t forget, the ancient doctors said try to intervene in the early stages of a disease process when imbalances are relatively easy to address.  Whereas when the imbalances are left unaddressed and develop into a diagnosed disease which typically corresponds to the 6th stage of development, things are harder, if not impossible, to fix. In the earlier stages, not only can we correct the imbalances but we can also fix the reason why the blood sugar goes into an increasing loop.

So in every case, when blood sugar levels are higher than normal, we start by addressing root factors so as to prevent the situation from developing into a full-blown chronic condition, in this case diabetes.  I am happy to report with this case history that even though this patient had already been diagnosed with diabetes, we were able to normalize his blood sugar down to normal levels. This reminds us to never give-up on a patient, even when they have been already diagnosed. Over the past 30 years of my active practice, I have encountered so many patients who came to my clinic with advanced conditions. I would initially think things had gone too far for me to be able to help them, but would soon find out they responded very well to the protocols I would give them. So was the case with Richard. Having been a diabetic for already 10 years, his condition was quite advanced, but we Vaidya’s gentle yet evective protocols, he responded extremely well. This is what we did.

I gave him Vaidya’s SVA Liver Pro Cream to apply down his spine, twice a day, and to drink Karela Soup Mix at lunch every day. In addition, I gave him the Gymnema Brew to drink after dinner every evening.  We then changed his diet to include less starchy foods, such as grains, sweet potatoes. Instead he was told to favor quinoa as his primary grain. Did you know that  quinoa isn’t a grain, it’s a seed? It thus contains more protein than grains. Richard’s diet was amended to consist mostly of healthy protein and vegetables.

On this protocol, he lost 30 pounds within two months and his blood sugar levels went back to normal. At that time, he was able to discontinue his allopathic medications – under his medical doctor’s guidance.

Addressing Neuropathy

Richard also had diabetic neuropathy.  For that, I used Maha Vedana Shanti Cream to open the channels, then Maha Sensitive Plant Cream next to heal the nerve tissue. There are other channel-opening creams Vaidya left us with which could also have been used, such as Flex ’n Flow, Super Sport, Tribindu Spray, Sancharan – circulation was key in Vaidya’s SVA approach, so each cream addresses circulation from a different angle and level. But Richard’s neuropathy was completely reversed with this approach.

Neuropathy is a serious condition that’s very difficult to treat through modern medicine, because our understanding of its underlying root causes is limited. That is why, with allopathy, at best, we can only mask the pain of neuropathy without really addressing it. Sensitive plant was one of Vaidya’s favorite remedies, used to heal an inflamed nerve (such as in tooth pain or sciatica). It can also be used in a nectar drop form – this is Vaidya’s ayurvedic homeopathic dosage of an herb. For advanced conditions and resistant conditions, Vaidya made the Sensitive Plant with Abhrak Bhasma — if you recall, the abhrak bhasma is a nano particle of silica.  This silica is burnt over 1,000 times (it takes four years!) until it becomes small enough so as to penetrate a cell membrance carrying in the balancing properties of the herb it accompaines.  This bhasma can drag whatever is with it into the cell. It acts as a carrier. Making a formula of Sensitive Plant with Abhrak Bhasma was an ingenious creation of Vaidya.  He knew that the nerve tissue damage was deep and sometimes it needed this potent vehicle to transport further into the cell.   It has absolutely no side effects.  This is one of the main remedies we use in our MS patients – I’ll cover that with another case history in the future.

Vaidya also taught me we can use Harsingar  for nerve pain as well, although this patient responded so well and so quickly it was not necessary to add any other remedies.

With Vaidya’s hundreds of formulas, we can treat just about anything that presents to our SVA clinic.  I will continue to present as many case histories as I can to show the vast array of chronic imbalances that we can fix using our unique SVA technologies.

Thank you again Vaidya for your relentless work which is benefitting thousands of patients around the world.  We will forever be indebted to you and the knowledge you shared with us.
