Diabetes - What now?

A Type 1 Diabetic looks at Life

Diabetes originates on the emotional

level as a result of feelings being

penned in. If no attention is paid to

feelings, they cannot be expressed;

there is no reflexion. This gives rise

to pain, and one feels isolated. The

repeated fear of separation, of being

alone, results in withdrawal and in

one’s feelings being checked and

finally locked away.All expression

of one’s own personality is increa-

singly restricted, the stream of vital

energy grows thinner and thinner.

The playful child, joy, expression,

light-heartedness, lack of restraint,

all are sentenced to death, since in

any case their emotions are ignored.

Furthermore, children often take on

their parents’ emotions or behav-

iours. Emotions, which are denied

expression, maybe in order to avoid

friction and maintain a harmonious

family life, generate tensions which

a child cannot cope with, and so it

withdraws into itself. It doesn’t

venture to express how it is feeling,

out of a wish not to upset the „ap-

parent“ harmony. So, even in early

childhood, it learns to keep a check

on its emotions.

It is not the sweetness (nourishment)

in life that the diabetic does not

allow himself to enjoy, but the fact

that he is no longer capable of

experiencing fullness of life, the

sweetness of it, even if he receives

this in the form of food. Seen in this

way, the diabetic disease has the

function of teaching the body how

to feel once again, by withdrawal

or control of eating, by the body’s

over- and under-reaction to sugar.

However, the appearance of the

disease marks the beginning of a

vicious circle. Instead of feeling, the

diabetic checks up on himself even

more. He checks his blood-sugar

level, he checks what he is eating,

checks his life, and in doing so, he

gets further and further away from

his emotions. Even eating is over-

organised and becomes a con-

sidered, rational process, in order

to keep the blood-sugar levels

within a predetermined range. This

makes it difficult to access what is

really essential for him. The diabetic

concentrates on his illness and

identifies himself with checking.

Thus, checking becomes an ob-

vious component of his life and, in

the final analysis, it determines the

pathway of his life. Even if the

diabetic believes he possesses full-

ness of life, he is mistaken. His own

permanent state of checking

unconsciously forbids him from en-

joying sweetness, the joy of feeling

that he is part of the here-and-now,

and enjoying it. Reason is the body’s

internal checking authority. How-

ever, it can only carry out its

checking function, if the thoughts

are captured in the past or the

future. As no checking is possible

in the „now“, reason tries with all

the resources at its disposal to pre-

vent this state.

Healing is within the reach of a

diabetic, if only he can become

aware of his feelings, express them

and affirm them. However, the

diabetic must become aware not

only of his feelings, but of himself.

He cannot deny his own feelings and

live out the expectations of another.

He must rediscover himself, his true

wishes and feelings in the here-and-

now. Once this state is attained, the

diabetes has fulfilled its task and is

redundant. The diabetic, who no

longer needs to be one, can enjoy

the sweetness of life for himself once

again.

The Treatment of a Diabetic Toe

- a Case Report

by Devi Hauser, Naturopath

Semmelweis-Institut GmbH

Verlag für Naturheilkunde • 27316 Hoya • Germany 1

I have been treating this 68-year-

old farmer, Mrs. I.M., for about

three years for Type I (insulin-

dependent) diabetes mellitus. She

is obese, has prominent varicose

veins, arthritic hips and knees on

both sides, and her fat metabolism

is disordered on account of the

diabetes mellitus.

Suddenly at the end of April 2007

an inflammation broke out on the

second toe of her right foot. As I

was away at that point, Mrs. I.M.

went to her family doctor, who X-

rayed the toe, and dressed the

wound, applying a dressing with

ointment. He advised the patient to

seek early amputation of the toe.

Over the next few days, the swelling

and inflammation of the toe in-

creased. In the meantime, I had

become contactable again, and

Mrs. I.M. came to see me at my

practice on 1.5.2007, so that I

could get an impression of the state

of her toe (see Fig. 1).

The patient agreed to follow my

instructions to the letter.

The dark-field microscopy of the

blood produced the results as set

out in Table 1. These results indi-

cate a congestive state, i.e. a disease

picture that was the work of Mucor

racemosus.

Treatment was begun immediately.

While she was still in consultation I

administered 1 measuring spoonful

of Pleo ALKALA N in hot water.

Meanwhile I cleaned the toe and

then set weals at the acupuncture

points MP2 (pancreatic functional

deficiency) and MP5 (master point

for weakness of connective tissue),

using Pleo NOT 7X and Pleo FOR-

MASAN. Using the remainder of

the injection solution I applied

urtication directly on and around the

affected toe.

The patient was to come to the

practice each day for a check-up.

The home treatment plan con-

sisted of the following points:

milk products, and no hen's eggs

(as proposed by Dr. Werth-

mann). This dietary change was

urgently needed, as the patient

was eating pork, yoghourt,

quark, cheese etc., almost every

day, i.e. foods, which all favour

excess protein and over-

acidification.

- Every morning and evening,

1 measuring spoonful of

Pleo ALKALA N powder in a glass

of hot water on an empty

stomach.

- Twice a day before meals, 40

drops of Pleo SANUVIS.

- Daily foot-baths using Germa-

nium bath pearls (from the BIO-

FRID Co.)

- Additionally, on alternating days:

Mornings and evenings, 1 tablet

each time of Pleo NOT 5X

with 20 drops of Pleo FORMASAM;

Pleo NOT 3X ointment to

be massaged into the toe.On the

next day, twice a day, 1 tablet of

Pleo MUC 5X and 20 drops

of SANUVIS; Pleo MUC

3X ointment to be massaged into

the toe.

- Strict adherence to diet devoid

of primary antigens, i.e. no pig-

meat, no cow's milk or cow's

As the patient was coming to the

practice every day for check-ups, I

could also perform micro-blood-

Indicating:

The patient was hoping to avoid the

amputation with a natural thera-

peutic approach. After an exa-

mination and lengthy consultation I

came to the conclusion that a

conservative attempt at treatment

was certainly appropriate. Should

there be no improvement within

three days, or should the situation

deteriorate, I considered that the

amputation would be unavoidable.

lettings to give some relief to the

swollen toe.

As documented by the pictures,

even after the second day there was

a substantial improvement (see

Fig. 2).

treatment

In addition, I also injected the follo-

wing at acupuncture point Liver 13,

to stimulate the metabolism: 1 amp.

Aesculus Injeel (Heel) + 1 amp.

Lymphomyosot (Heel) + 1 amp.

Arnica Injeel (Heel).

Afortnight later, the toe had already

healed and the treatment was ter-

minated.

To celebrate this success and sta-

bilise her newly-achieved well-

being, the lady treated herself to a

3-month course of intestinal clean-

sing, according to the following

plan:

- Diet: devoid of primary antigens,

i.e. no pig-meat, nothing

containing cow's milk or hen's

eggs

The introductory phase of the

treatment extended over 10 days:

- Pleo ALKALA N powder, twice a

day 1 measuring spoonful in hot

water, to be drunk on an empty

stomach

- Pleo SANUVIS, 20 drops twice a

day

- Pleo FORT 5X, 1 tablet

twice a day

- 20 drops of Phœnix Solidago at

18.00 hrs (time of maximum

renal activity)

- 3 capsules of SILVAYSAN

before sleeping, to support the

liver at its time of maximum

activity (1.00 - 3.00 hrs)

From Day 11 to the end of the 3

months:

Monday and Tuesday:

- Pleo ALKALA N powder, twice a

day 1 measuring spoonful in hot

water, to be drunk on an empty

stomach

- Pleo SANUVIS, 20 drops twice a

day

- Pleo CITRO, 20 drops once

a day in the evening

- Pleo SANKOMBI 5X, 10 drops

mornings and evenings before

eating.

- 20 drops of Phœnix Solidago at

18.00 hrs (time of maximum

renal activity)

- 3 capsules of SILVAYSAN

before sleeping.

Wednesday:

- Pleo ALKALA N powder, twice a

day 1 measuring spoonful in hot

water, to be drunk on an empty

stomach

- Pleo REC 6X 1 suppository

in the evening before sleeping

(combats inflammations and

arthritis and regenerates the

mucosa)

Thursday and Friday:

As for Monday and Tuesday.

Saturday:

- Pleo ALKALA N powder, twice a

day 1 measuring spoonful in hot

water, to be drunk on an empty

stomach

- Pleo SANUVIS, 20 drops in the

mornings

- Pleo CITRO, 20 drops in the

evenings

- 20 drops of Phœnix Solidago at

18.00 hrs.

- 3 capsules of SILVAYSAN

before sleeping

- Pleo EX 3X, 1 suppo-

sitory each morning and evening

Sunday:

- As for Saturday, but instead of

Pleo EX 3X, 1 suppo-

sitory each morning and evening,

Pleo FORT 3X

After three months, this intestinal

cleansing could also be terminated.

commenced

The patient was given detailed

advice as to her eating and drinking.

She is still (March 2009) keeping

to these recommendations, besides

which she is continuing to take

Pleo ALKALA N baths regularly, 3

capsules of SILVAYSAN, a White-

thorn preparation and, half-an-hour

before meals, she drinks liver-bile

tea.

After two years Mrs. I.M. is still in

good health. Her diabetes has

improved considerably. Last

December the patient celebrated

her 70th birthday, and many of her

family and friends were there. Her

toe was healthy, and she was in an

astonishingly good state of health.
