If I have diabetes, can I be cured by a Chinese medicine practitioner?

Chinese medicine is the medical treasure of the Chinese nation, profound and profound, is concerned with the overall regulation and the interaction between the drugs, Chinese medicine acupuncture, Chinese medicine on the body can play a very good role in the harmonization. But Chinese medicine is not omnipotent, not all diseases can be cured by Chinese medicine.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease with many complications and a long course that seriously jeopardizes health and quality of life. Diabetes mellitus is mainly categorized into type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. type 1 diabetes mellitus is an absolute lack of insulin, which necessitates exogenous insulin supplementation, i.e., injections of insulin, which is not possible with Chinese medicine. This is because insulin is a biological agent that is extracted through biological means. This is something that no TCM can do. However, type 2 diabetes is a relative lack of insulin, and depending on the severity of the condition, TCM can be used for supplemental conditioning, but is not suitable as a primary treatment. Although TCM cannot be used as the primary treatment for diabetes, it is indeed the primary treatment diagnosis for diabetic complications. Acupuncture, tuina, and Chinese herbs have been shown to improve diabetic neuropathy and circulation in ways that Western medicine cannot.

Chinese and Western medicine should not be separated, especially for chronic diseases, the effect of combined treatment is far better than separate treatment. Going to a regular hospital and seeking treatment from regular Chinese and Western medicine practitioners is the way to go.

TCM can cure diabetes, but those who can are not allowed to, and those who won't are dead set on it. I don't know how it works.

Nutritionist Sugar to answer for everyone. As of now, there is no way to cure diabetes, either in Chinese medicine or Western medicine, but only to control it. The danger of diabetes also lies not in itself, but in the complications it brings. So, what are the characteristics of Western medicine and Chinese medicine in treating diabetes?

Western medicine is characterized by clear efficacy, especially in terms of will he, while Chinese medicine will not be able to achieve the Western medicine such a sugar-lowering effect, Chinese herbs sugar-lowering effect are auxiliary. However, Chinese medicine also has the strengths of Chinese medicine, the most obvious advantage of Chinese medicine lies in the improvement of complications. Chinese medicine called diabetes "thirst", sometimes diabetic blood sugar has been lowered, but still have the symptoms of thirst and drinking, this phenomenon can not be explained by Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine can use some Chinese herbs to regulate, nourish yin and clear heat, tonifying the kidney and diuresis, effectively improving the symptoms of thirst. In diabetic peripheral neuropathy, acupuncture and moxibustion in TCM can also improve the symptoms.

Sugar is of the view that the treatment of diabetes should be a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, each taking advantage of its own strengths, unlike some people who are black on Chinese medicine and hold Western medicine in high regard.

Why are there so many people hacking Chinese medicine practitioners nowadays? The main reason is that there are a lot of unscrupulous people who come out under the guise of Chinese medicine practitioners to woo people. In particular, some Chinese medicine practitioners' hypoglycemic drugs are actually mixed with Western medicines.

Agree with Sugar's viewpoints, just click like, more diabetes encyclopedic knowledge we share in the later Q&A!

Chinese medicine can cure diabetes, and the treatment of diabetes in Chinese medicine is very mature from theory to prescription, as long as the patient believes in Chinese medicine and learns the knowledge related to Chinese medicine, he or she can also be cured. Often, while we give our body to the doctor, we do not know that the best doctor is ourselves.

Diabetes mellitus Chinese medicine disease called thirst, treatment of diabetes mellitus called thirst. According to the "Ming Medical Palm" theory, the sky is a life of water, the kidney is the main. The bladder is the internal organs of fluid, can promote the line of kidney water, upward moisturizing in the lungs, so the lungs for the organ of fluid. From top to bottom, San Jiao viscera, all confined to the Tianyi real water, such as the water package heaven and earth. Huangdi Neijing. Su Wen" cloud: water in the kidney, the end of the lungs, but the real water is not exhausted, why the thirst? People only wine and color is delayed, addicted to spicy and strong flavor, or bait Dan Shi medicine, so the fire inflammation on the smoked, internal organs hot and blazing, fluid dry and the disease of the three elimination is born. Heat upward, the heart is subjected to, so the thirst to attract drink, urinate frequently and more, said thirst. Heat stored in the spleen, the spleen, volatile sun steam stomach, good hunger, can eat muscle thin, not very thirsty, stools, said the elimination of the middle. Heat in the lower, the kidneys suffer, legs and knees withered fine, bone joints sore, exhaustion of the marrow withered, draw water to save themselves, drink with the drowning, thick and cloudy as cream, said the kidneys to eliminate. Good treatment, make up for the kidney water real yin deficiency, diarrhea heart fire burnt potential, in addition to the intestinal and gastric dryness and heat of the very, Ji heart fluid failure, so that the road is scattered and not knot, fluid is not withered, gas and blood Li and not astringent, then the thirst evidence of the self-supporting. The above is a discussion of the causes and specific symptoms of diabetes.

Understand the causes and symptoms of diabetes, to say is how to treat. But all Chinese medicine treatment, is the need for mutual trust between doctors and patients, mutual cooperation in order to collect good results, here to give diabetic patients a few suggestions:

First, food therapy is the mainstay, reversing eating habits.

Diabetes is commonly known as a disease of affluence and is mainly caused by years of poor eating habits. Reversing dietary habits is to adjust the diet structure, change your original favorite diet including food and cooking methods. Try to eat less or not eat the previous food, eat more food that you did not like to eat before, with dietary modification of the body's intake of food ingredients, change the intake of nutrients, seeking the body's food structure balance.

Second, internal Chinese medicine as a supplement to help the body function repair.

Diabetic patients rely entirely on dietary structure adjustment, is not able to achieve the effect of disease recovery, need to rely on the role of medicine to help the body through the difficult times, at this time you need to take a period of time of traditional Chinese medicine, when the body recovers, there is no need to take medication.

Third, appropriate exercise to promote blood circulation.

Appropriate exercise, can promote blood circulation and metabolism, but exercise to master a degree, anything will be the opposite, do not blindly pursue how many steps, walk how many kilometers, but with the body constitution, seasonal climate and other factors combined is the best way. Basic to summer exercise to sweat, winter exercise to sweat slightly, other seasons reference to adjust the amount of exercise can be.

IV. Recommendations for taking medication

The medication should be taken in a course of treatment to count, each course of twenty-one doses, seven days to stop taking medication for two days, such as medication in line with the symptoms of the heavy drug half a month to show the effect of the medication. The end of a course of treatment follow-up, if you need to serve again after stopping one to two months according to the situation of serving the second course of treatment, the general situation should be cured in three courses of treatment or receive miraculous results. The prescribed Chinese medicine should be prescribed original medicine home with a tile pot decoction for good.

V. Formulas and dosages

Chinese medicine books have thirst-quenching prescriptions, according to their own disease conditions to choose the appropriate prescription to a specialized Chinese medicine practitioner to confirm the diagnosis and dosage of the formula, and follow the doctor's instructions to take the medicine. For safety reasons, patients should not prescribe their own medication.

Diabetic patients can do to reverse the dietary structure (tube to the mouth for the cure of diabetes for the first thing), appropriate exercise, reasonable medication, Chinese medicine to cure diabetes is not difficult, if you can not do these three points, non-Chinese medicine is incompetent, it is the patient's fault!

I don't think Chinese medicine can cure diabetes, if you believe you can take your chances, it's a chronic disease anyway, if you can be cured you are lucky, if you can't cure it then take western medicine.

Can Chinese medicine cure diabetes? Diabetes is a disorder of endocrine metabolism in the human body, which is said to be diabetes in Western medicine and thirst-quenching disease in Chinese medicine.

Regarding the dangers of diabetes, it is expected that anyone who has diabetes knows how bad it is. It's not alarmist, it's very serious indeed.

In mild cases, there is itching of the skin, blurred vision of the eyes, weakness of the limbs, three more and one less, i.e., eating more, drinking more, urinating more, and weight loss.

In severe cases, it affects the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, causing cardiovascular blockage, i.e. heart attack, and cerebrovascular blockage, i.e. cerebral infarction. In mild cases, hemiplegia, and in severe cases, life-threatening!

Regarding treatment, Western medicine uses hypoglycemic drugs and insulin. Chinese medicine uses yin and yang identification to regulate with Chinese medicine. Is it a cure? There is no evidence that TCM can completely cure diabetes!

If Chinese medicine can cure diabetics, how many diabetics will it be a blessing?

TCM cannot cure diabetes!

First of all this is a false proposition. It is important to realize that both Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own theoretical systems for the treatment of diabetes. In Chinese medicine, diabetes is called "thirst-quenching disease".

Although it seems that most diabetics take oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin injections to control their blood sugar, I would still recommend seeing a Chinese medicine practitioner for some diabetics to do their conditioning.

Category 1: Pre-diabetics

This group of patients will initially remain in the state of abnormal glucose tolerance, some will gradually return to normal, and some will gradually develop into diabetes. So in this stage of abnormal glucose tolerance is called "pre-diabetes", although it is not diabetes, but there is also the possibility of high blood sugar damage and chronic complications, for this part of the population, see a traditional Chinese medicine use of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate, effective intervention on blood sugar, is better.

Category 2: Patients with good glycemic control but little symptomatic relief

This kind of patient is very common in the clinic, obviously the blood sugar control is good, but the symptoms of diabetes have always existed, and western medicine does not have better treatment, this time can be used to fill the liver and kidney of traditional Chinese medicine, qi nourishing yin, clearing heat and dampness and other ways of symptomatic treatment, and then achieve good results.

Category 3: Assisted glucose lowering, reducing the dose of western drugs

Some patients taking western medicine will have certain adverse reactions, in order to control blood sugar in a reasonable range, the use of western medicine dose is larger, in this case a large number of drugs will bring damage to the body, this time the use of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, in the case of reasonable prescriptions, reduce the dose of western medicine appropriately, or can achieve smooth sugar reduction.

Category 4: Prevention and treatment of early chronic complications

At present, Western medicine still lacks effective measures to prevent and treat diabetic complications, and good results can be achieved by combining traditional Chinese medicine with good glycemic control. There are also many experiments confirming that the treatment of western medicine plus Chinese medicine can significantly reduce the incidence of diabetic complications.

The above four groups of people with diabetes, I think it will be good for their own condition to find a Chinese medicine practitioner to work with them.

This disease don't want to cure ten or twenty medicines, itself is a long time of life habits of the disease. To recover from this disease, first accept Western medicine and Chinese medicine treatment, slowly reversing the past lifestyle, began to wake up, why let me suffer from this disease? Through thinking, change the original original lifestyle, bad eating habits, can be slowly recovered, light can be healed. The cause of this disease, nothing more than, five Zhi over extreme, that is, stress, over-eating fat and sweet, too full dinner, room labor injury to the kidneys, life is comfortable, rely on labor, do not go to consume physical energy. Do not learn the emperor-style lifestyle, that will only short life. To eat a light diet, to the five grains for nourishment. Diligent labor and exercise, the mind like water. Because trouble is born of delusion.

In fact, the early stage of high blood sugar with traditional Chinese medicine, regarded as a common disease, and there is no reason not to be able to heal, but most people's blood sugar a bias in high school the Western medicine routine, put the rope state on their necks, blood sugar disease is not afraid of, afraid of complications, in the shadow of this cover,, people day after day to eat hypoglycemic drugs, eat long time drug resistance, and hit the pancreatic islets, with the five viscera sad back, the more control of the complications more and more, and finally give up their lives, I It's really stupid.

Diabetic patients called the injustice, why all day shouting diabetes is not cured, why there is a person hosted on TV to recruit national folk Chinese medicine treatment of diabetes, to open the veil of diabetes can not be cured?
