Bringing down blood sugar with Naturopathic treatments

Meet Fahad, he is 30 years old, he came to the centre for 6 days. When he arrived, he had diabetes and was on 80 units of insulin a day (40 units 2 times daily), he weighed 111kg, and had sleep apnea. He would seem to drift away while talking to you.
6 days of Naturopathic treatments, diet therapy, yoga therapy, and close monitoring saw him loose 4kg and more impressively, his fasting blood sugar went down from 140 to 88mg% (normal range is 70 - 110 mg%), in addition, he became much more attentive and engaged.
I won't even attempt to describe the range of treatments he had, as he was under the expert care of the team here at all times. His programme of yoga, diet, exercise the herbs that he took, and the monitoring of his blood sugar were all done carefully, and precisely, this is not in any way a case of 'lets just give some healthy foods and see what happens', it is a precisely worked out schedule of treatments that has produced results.
However, I will say that he is not an exception, we get people here all the time with seemingly 'lifelong' chronic diseases, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, gout, arthritis, all the usual suspects of ageing. They are not always reversible fully, as it depends on their severity and many other things, but the important thing is that when positive changes are made, and the body is given the right treatments, it responds appropriately, that is, it starts to recover its balance.
6 days was not at all enough with a case like Fahad, but the important thing was that he was extremely receptive to the information, willing to make the changes required, and gave it his full commitment. He was ready to make the changes, and just needed direction, in just a couple of days, we saw the changes in Fahad.
I wish him well, and hope that he has continued the good work he started here.
