Diabetes

Be sure that you have read carefully the cayce philosophy page as missing any one of the principles there could cost you in some form – we know we have done it.
One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important treatment.

Conventional treatment

Diabetes is a disease in which the body simply does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. There are two major types of diabetes:
Type 1 - A disease, in which the body does not produce any insulin, most often occurring in children and young people. All people with Type 1 diabetes must take daily insulin injections to stay alive. Type 1 diabetes accounts for between 5 - 10 % of diabetes.
Sugar is the basic fuel for the cells in the body, and insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. If the sugar builds up without going into the cells, it can cause major problems:
1, your cells may be starved for energy.
2 Over time, high blood sugar levels may damage your eyes, kidneys, nerves or heart.
The pancreas, an organ near your stomach, produces insulin. The pancreas contains cells called beta cells. Beta cells do a vital job: They make insulin, a hormone that helps cells take in the sugar they need.
Sometimes, the beta cells get wiped out. Many things might have killed your beta cells, but in most people with Type 1 diabetes, the immune system makes a mistake. Cells that normally protect you from germs attack your beta cells instead. The beta cells die. Without beta cells, you make no insulin. Sugar builds up in your blood, and you get diabetes.

Type 2 – This is a metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to make enough, or properly use, insulin. It is the most common form of the disease. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 󈟋% of cases Sugar is the basic fuel for the cells in the body, and insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can cause two problems:
1.Right away, your cells may be starved for energy.
2.Over time, high blood sugar levels may damage other parts of your body i.e. eyes, kidneys, nerves or heart and other important parts of your body.

The goal of treatment is to lower your blood sugar and improve your body's use of insulin with:
Meal planning and getting regular exercise can help your body maintain healthy blood sugar levels. If you're overweight, losing weight can be another big part of your diabetes treatment. It will help your body use insulin better. The best way to lose weight is to exercise and follow a meal plan. With a weight loss meal plan, you will eat fewer calories. Decide with your health care provider how much to lose. Occasionally a 10-20 pound reduction in weight can give excellent results
Of course you can measure your own blood sugar levels at home using a glucose meter.
Sometimes, using a meal plan, losing weight and being active are not enough. In addition, your doctor may have you take diabetes pills, insulin shots or both.

Alternative treatment recommended from the cayce information

Causes

Cayce adds a great deal of information on this condition, pointing to the malfunctioning of the pancreas it sometimes being overstimulated and sometimes being sluggish. These two problems have a tendency to produce too much sugar and to handle carbohydrates in such a way that these also produce to much sugar. One of the causes for diabetes is from spinal pressures located in association with the 6th 7th 8th 9th dorsal sympathetic ganglia which were acting in such away as to cause the pancreas liver and or spleen to not operate properly. Also mentioned was assimilation and elimination problems which had become disturbed which caused a liver imbalance which caused payers patches and other lymphatic vessels to cease their production of substances which in turn created unusual impulses to the pancreas and liver which brought about diabetes.
Cayce advises that the body has the capacity to produce normal functions and said that therapy should aim at stimulating those functions to their normal use rather than becoming dependent upon substances where there was a possibility that these substances were robbing other parts of the system to produce a desired effect.
Treatment
1.Dr William mcgarey interpreted the cayce information and advised that change should be given gradually. No sudden changes to the body were to be given

2.He said it was advisable in all cases of diabetes to institute a course of osteopathic adjustments and manipulations given in a series of 6-8 and then rest and then another 6-8.They should coordinate the 4th lumbar and the third cervical in conjunction with the dorsal vertebrae that are being treated. He cautioned that pressure may be alleviated but correct flow of nerve impulses cannot come about unless the balance is maintained over a period of time. This is why more treatments are necessary.

3.Diet is highly important, Jerusalem artichokes are suggested in every case. These provide a type of insulin material, which helps to restore normal function of the pancreas. These should be taken in varying amounts from 3times a week and in more severe cases 5-6times per week. All of these should be cooked – one artichoke about the size of a hens egg in patapar paper and prepared with the juices and eaten. If you have severe cases requiring 5-6 a week then cook one day and then eat it raw the next.
Taking insulin in this form is not habit forming.

4.No red meats are to be eaten at all, not too much sweets, nor ever too much meats. Starches in general should be reduced, no white sugar or white bread. Pastries and pies should be kept to a minimum. Coffee and tea only once per day. Fish or fowl in small amounts for you meat eaters out there. Eat lots of leafy vegetables and little of the pod variety of vegetables. No vegetables are to be eaten which are grown beneath the ground with the exception of carrots and beets occasionally with the beet being taken with the beet top and oyster plant. No fried foods to be eaten at all

5 After the osteopathic adjustments have been given then take a course of atomidine which should be given starting with one drop twice a day increasing by one drop per day until you are taking 5 drops twice daily then continue for a further 3 days and then reduce by one drop per day until the original dose is used. Then rest a week or two then repeat this regime 3-4 times. The atomidine is for the cleansing of the glands and for the glandular forces of the body.

6.There has to be balance between the way the body absorbs food and gets rid of waste products, this was sited as being important in a few cases.
Cayce gave this information. To one gall of rainwater or distilled water add 8oz of clary water (garden sage) reduce this mixture by simmering not boiling to one quart. Then add while still warm two other solutions: dissolve 15 gr of ambergris in 1 oz of grain alcohol then add to the solution 4oz of grain alcohol with 50 minims of oil of juniper. Balsum of tolu cut with alcohol 3 drams.
Directions for use -one desert spoon full taken three times a day. As a precaution no other medications are to be taken while doing this treatment with the exception of insulin which should be slowly decreased
