GOD’S PLAN FOR DISARMING DIABETES
I. Cause of Health Problem:
Diabetes is a degenerative disease of some part of the digestive tract, nearly always the pancreas. It is when the pancreas is unable to carry out its normal functions and does not produce enough insulin that diabetes occurs. Related conditions are Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia. (Hyper – not enough insulin produced by the body / Hypo – too much insulin produced by the body.)
Malnutrition is considered to be a major underlying factor. Another cause, especially in obese person can be attributed to an unbalanced diet. High intakes of sugars, fats, refined starches, meat, tea, coffee, tobacco, liquor, and soft drinks are usually prevalent in the unbalanced Standard American Diet (SAD).
II. Symptoms of Health Problem:
Mental depression, weight loss or being overweight, frequent urination, constant hunger, progressive weakness, inordinate appetite, great thirst, dry red tongue, irritability, restlessness, artery problems. (one may not exhibit all symptoms).
III. Known Conditions Contributing to Health Problem:
Improper clothing of the limbs, resulting in imbalance of circulation; and inadequate fresh air circulating throughout the house are contributing factors. Fresh air provides negative ions that are necessary for increased oxygen flow in the body. Other contributing factors are dampness in the home or around the outside of the home; mildew; inadequate sunlight in the home and lack of sunlight exposure to the body. Chemicals externally used on the body; such as cologne, deodorant soaps, and deodorant with aluminum; also contribute to health problems.
IV. Habits that Need to be Changed:
Daily life-style habits; such as exercise, eating, mental, emotional, and spiritual; which are incorrect must be changed. Also improper dressing must be corrected.
V. Applying God’s Plan:
Apply to the specific health problem. Below is a suggested outlined plan for helping the body in re-establishing right conditions in the system.
1. Godly Trust:
An abiding faith in a loving God will help you rest as well. Rest your life in His hands. He has made every provision to forgive every sin and cleanse every sinner of all our past mistakes. Ask Him. He promises to blot out all those mental records of sin in the heart, the love for sin, that tempt us.
He has also put Himself on record in the Bible to keep us from sinning and help us obey His law from love, if we will only “be willing to be made willing”. He wants us to work our minds so that we want to do right, as well as to supply is with power so that we will, indeed obey Him. His laws are really promises. Every promise that He has made by way of a law, is part of our inheritance. (Deuteronomy 33:4; Galatians 3:17-19) In order to start obtaining our inheritance from the heavenly Father, we must be “born again” or be adopted into His family. We then have the right to go by prayer to His throne in the courts of heaven and present our request to Jesus, the Executor-Mediator, of the estate. If we go by faith after repentance and dedication to Him, the request will be freely granted if our request is according to the “will” of God.
Jesus said in His prayer for the disciples: “The kingdom come; Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven…”
2. Open Air:
Pure fresh air is very important. That means good air with negatively ionized particles from forests and oceans. Breathe deeply as part of your exercise. Do not smoke tobacco or breathe second-hand smoke. Avoid smog and all chemicals, cleaning solutions, solvents, paint removers, insect sprays, deodorants, hair dyes, disinfectants, pest strips, etc.
3. Daily Exercise:
“Conditioning” exercise is what you need. This is the type of exercise that will increase tour endurance gradually. You may use three things to help you guide yourself I the intensity that you exercise.
Guide (1) Learn what your safe ten-second pulse rate for your age should be during exercise. Learn how to count your ten-second-pulse beat and exercise up to that degree.
Guide (2) Exercise to the intensity that you are barely able to carry on a conversation with someone as you exercise.
Guide (3) If you should develop chest pain during exercise, stop at that point. Follow the advice of your physician.
Exercise a minimum of 20-30 minutes at the peak of endurance daily if at all possible, at least every other day. The body forces seem to “escape” from good condition rather casily.
Walking is good exercise. Act your age – use a walking stick for stability and for protection against stray dogs.
Exercise is vital in maintaining and regulating proper blood sugar lever.
Massage can be helpful increasing circulation.
4. Sunshine:
Sunshine has several benefits to the body. It furnishes the natural vitamin D and helps to lower cholesterol. It increases the volume of oxygen in the blood. Sunshine also aids in getting insulin to the cells and tissues where it is needed. Start with 10 – 15 minutes exposure to the face and hands daily up to 30 minutes daily. The body stores the vitamin D readily for over a week. Avoid burning.
5. Plenty of Rest:
Get adequate restful sleep. A light supper will help. Try to avoid stressful circumstances. Establish good habits and this will help. Anyone familiar with “jet lag” knows how well the body works with habits. A relaxing soak in warm water may help you unwind enough after a stressful day so that you will not need that harmful sleeping pill. Regular times for going to bed and rising will also help. The best time to go to bed is between 9:00 – 9:30 P.M. and no later.
6. Lots of Water:
Internal use of water: The body needs water for optimal function. Drink daily eight to ten glasses of pure, distilled water, and more if you sweat much. This will help your endurance. Carry a supply with you. Drink water upon arising; between meals, but early enough before bedtime so that you do not have to get up from sleep to empty your bladder. Upon rising, drink 2 glasses at room temperature with a freshly squeezed lemon in it.
External use of water: DO NOT USE HOT TREATMENTS – use warm treatments in the groin area only – never on the legs or extremities.
Salt Glow: consist of rubbing moist salt (Epsom salt or fine salt) over the body. The granular salt will irritate the skin and cause a reaction without the cold being the stimulant. Give 3 times weekly.
Contraindications: 1. Avoid skin lesions or sores
2. Must not be used so often as to produce skin irritation.
Equipment and Supplies:
1. 2-4 pounds coarse salt in a suitable basin
2. Stool (only if patient needs to sit for the treatment)
3. Drape sheet and towels
4. Tub for foot bath
5. Available shower or pail for pail pour
Treatment:
1. Add just enough water to the salt to make it sticky (not too dry or too wet)
2. Prepare a hot footbath at 104 degrees F (or 40 degrees C.)
3. Have the recipient stand in the footbath.
4. Drape the recipient with a sheet exposing only the part to be treated. Keep the recipient warm.
5. Pre-wet the part to be treated with water from footbath.
6. Rub the part briskly with salt until the skin is pink.
7. Do all parts of the body in turn; arms and hands, shoulders, chest and abdomen, back, thighs, and legs and feet.
8. Remove the salt using a shower or pain pour.
9. Dry the recipient well and keep him warm.
7. Always Temperate:
Abstain from all harmful substances. Absolutely avoid coffee, tea (except herb teas), colas and soft drinks. For a few weeks avoid any hot or cold/frozen foods or drinks. The stomach has to work hard to either cool or warm the food to the proper temperature to digest. Eat no flesh food or canned “fake meat”. They contain too many carcinogens. Us no dairy products (butter, milk, cheese-even cottage or cream cheese – or whey. Read labels and buy nothing with chemicals as an ingredient. A safe rule: if you can’t pronounce the name it probably isn’t safe to eat. Use no eggs or egg products. Use no vinegar or products containing it (pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise, salad dressing, etc.) Use no spices. Spices are parts of trees or plants that grow in tropical regions. Herbs are parts of plants that grow in temperate regions. (Examples of spices: allspice, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, mustard seed, and nutmeg). There are many good herbs to take their place (basil, bay leaf, coriander, cilantro, cumin, dill, fennel, marjoram, mint, paprika, parsley, rosemary, saffron, sage, savory, tarragon, thyme). Use no irritating peppers (black pepper, white pepper, or hot peppers – jalapeno, chili, or pepper sauce). Cayenne pepper can be used medicinally. Bell, pimento, cherry, banana and all “not hot” peppers are O.K. Use no baking soda or baking powder even if they have had the aluminum removed. Eat bread products raised with yeast or hydrogen peroxide or unraised crackers/breads. Watch labels because many items contain baking powder or soda (crackers, cookies, cereals, even some bottled water). Reduce the oil or fat consumption. For the first few weeks eliminate margarine and do not fry any foods. User no sugars, brown sugar, artificial sweeteners or products containing them. Replace with honey, molasses, or maple syrup.
Be moderate even in the good things. Do not overeat of even good foods. Do not eat too many varieties at one meal. Three or four items are plenty. Eat food at meal times. Drink no water with meals. Chew slowly and let the saliva in the mouth mix with the food. Don’t swallow it until it’s “creamy”. The saliva is needed to help the stomach digest the food. Even any small amount if juice or liquid at a meal should be swished around in the mouth to mix it with the saliva. Do not mix fruits and vegetables at a meal. Grains may be eaten with either fruits or vegetables. See God’s Plan Basic Menu.
Wait at least 5 hours from the time one meal is ended before the next is started. The stomach needs about four hours to digest its food. It also needs to rest before more food is introduced. Most people overwork the stomach, and it is never allowed to rest. Two meals a day is the best plan (8:00 A.M. and 2:00 – 3:00 P.M. are good times). If you want three, 6:30; 12:00 & 5:30 are about the best times. Several hours need to elapse after supper before bedtime since digestion ceases when sleep begins. All food needs to be digested before bedtime. Food that does not digest in the four-hour time period begins to ferment, and upset stomach may be the result.
Eat NOTHING between meals. Any little crumb of food makes your stomach start the entire process of digestion all over again. That means don’t even “taste” something being cooked for another meal. Chewing gum is also a “no-no since the mouth continues to produce saliva to digest it since it thinks the gum is food. Drink water between meals.
Clothing should be modest and keep all the extremities warm, but wear as many layers on them as are worn on the trunk to avoid congestion of blood in the trunk. No tight bands or belts should be used. Suspenders are usually better than a belt to hod up pants. Weight from clothing should rest upon the shoulders and not on the waist.
8. Nutrition:
The aim of the diet is to help you (1) avoid all refined foods; (2) select proper foods for adequate intake of balanced amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements; (3) choose types of nutrients which will help you lose weight as needed and clear the body of excess cholesterol and other unwanted materials that cause degeneration of the tissues.
The general health must be improved if one expects to recover. Correcting the diet will eliminate one cause of diabetes – improper diet. A mild food diet is highly recommended. Diabetics who eat a high protein diet consisting of flesh foods that produce pathogenic and putrefactive bacteria in the bowels do not synthesize the nutrients needed for the pancreas.
Infection from the bowels can spread to the gall bladder, liver, pancreas, and even to the throat and gums. Therefore, it is very important in treating chronic disorders such as diabetes, to cleanse the bowels and change the bacterial flora in the large intestine.
Alkaline diet – plenty of whole grains, especially buckwheat, and raw vegetables – especially Jerusalem Artichokes, green beans, ripe avocados, and fruits and beneficial.
Fresh fruits contain a natural sugar, which does not need insulin for its metabolism, and is well tolerated by diabetics.
Natural carbohydrate foods are necessary in the diet of diabetics (whole grains, especially buckwheat, millet, and oats).
Emphasis should be on raw foods. About 80% of the diet should consist of raw foods. These foods stimulate the pancreas and insulin production.
Avoid overeating; eating refined foods such as sugar and white flour; and everything made with them. Avoid salt.
Diabetics have a tendency for over acidity because of a slowed-down protein and fat metabolism. Therefore, the diet should be alkaline, with an emphasis on alkaline foods: vegetables, fruits, and milk (soy). Cucumbers, string beans, Jerusalem Artichokes, and garlic are especially beneficial. Garlic has been shown to reduce blood sugar in diabetics.
Never eat between meals. Never overeat. Do not drink with your meals. Eat vegetables at one meal and cat fruit at another. Avoid ALL fried foods.
Therefore, we use the following rules:
1. No refined foods:
No oil, margarine, shortening.
No sugar, syrup, or free starch.
No white bread, white rice or degerminated cornmeal.
No gluten.
2. No animal products:
No meat, fish or fowl.
No eggs or egg yolk.
No milk products – milk, cheese, cream, ice cream, etc.
3. Special items NOT allowed:
No alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee, or cola drinks.
No sprayed, sulfured, or canned (in metal) fruit.
No peanut butter.
No sprayed or canned vegetables. When fresh vegetables are not available, frozen are prefer able to canned.
No condiments such as vinegar, mustard, catsup, hot pepper sauce, commercial mayonnaise, and other similar products.
No sugar: white, brown, or raw sugar, fructose, honey (for diabetics and hypoglycemic no type of honey can be used), syrups, jams, jellies, preserves, Jell-O, or any foods containing these items.
No cheese: Cheese is not the best food. The putrefactive process results in the production of amines, ammonia, irritating fatty acids (butyric, caprylic, etc.) And lactic acid. These are all waste products which cause irritation to nerves and gastrointestinal tract. Tyramine one of the toxic amines produced in cheese may cause migraine headaches. Certain of the amines can interact with the nitrates present in the stomach to form nitrosamine, a cancer-producing agent. An intolerance to lactose, the chief carbohydrate of cheese an milk is probably the most common food sensitivity in America. Rennet is used in the curdling of milk and cheese manufacture. Most rennet is obtained from the whole stomach lining of calves, kids or pigs, and a very small percentage from vegetable sources.
4.The allowed foods are:
Note: All food should be fresh, unspoiled, “organically grown” in so far as possible. The object is to avoid insecticides and other sprays as well as to get produce with the best balance of trace minerals from the soil.
Fruits, preferably fresh. Second choice canned in glass with fruit juice or water packed.
Special Note: All dried fruits (raisins, dates, figs, etc.) are concentrated foods. It is easy to overeat on them, over loading the body with too much food. Having overworked the digestive system most people will experience an “all gone” feeling before the next meal. This sensation which many do not understand results from a sort of fatigue of the digestive apparatus. Bananas, mangoes, watermelon (difficult for some to digest), and sweet potatoes should be avoided. Grapes if taken generously, may cause or weakness before the next meal.
All greens, especially cabbage, broccoli, turnip greens, mustard greens, collar, or kale. Use spinach, chard, or beet greens sparingly because of oxalate content.
All herbs that are mild.
All legumes (beans, peas, lentils and garbanzos).
All whole grains. You need two kinds daily plus a legume to get optimal balance of amino acids.
Nuts in moderation. The better ones are the non-tropical nuts such as almonds, filberts, pecans, and walnuts.
Note: Milk made from nuts, soybeans or flour are acceptable (commercial soy milks are heavily sweetened, and are not as good as home-made, but still better than cow's milk by far).
5.All nutritional needs on a PREVENTIVE type diet can be secured from daily serving of foods listed below:
A citrus fruit plus another fruit.
A yellow vegetable such as carrots, etc.
A green vegetable, greens or herbs
A legume.
Two types of whole grains.
Tubers and nuts may be added as desired by the appetite.
6.Food supplements:
Note: These are necessary because of the depletion of trace elements in our soil.
Also, many people have malabsorption of key nutrients when debilitated from a chronic ailment such as diabetes.
a.Take nine size 0 capsules filled with juniper berries. Take four capsules in the morning, three at noon, and three in the afternoon. Along with the juniper berry powder, you must take six size 0 capsules filled with golden seal power. Two should be in the morning, two at noon, and two in the afternoon.
If you are living on a mild food diet (no flesh, no sugar, etc.) then only half as much golden seal as licorice is required. When the diet includes meat, starches, and sugars, the amount of juniper berry can vary from to fifteen capsules a day or more.
b. Drink three cups daily of blueberry, huckleberry tea, cranberry, or string bean tea.
c. Give yourself one enema a day for seven days (if necessary) and at the same time go on a colon cleanser for seven days.
Herbs (for those not on insulin – Hypoglycemia)
1. Licorice Root – 1 teaspoon 3 times a day.
2. Juniper Berries – 5 berries twice daily (chew or make tea).
3. Blackstrap Molasses – 1 Tablespoon 3 time’s daily.
7. Special instructions:
Cook in stainless steel, corning ware, or pyrex glass.
No aluminum cookware.
Avoid microwaves.
No “irradiated” produce.
8. General rules for good digestion are as follows:
Eat slowly; chew your food thoroughly, to allow the saliva to mix with the food.
Avoid liquids with meals. These decrease the flow of saliva with its digestive enzymes.
9. The drug most often used to treat this disease is Insulin. No one can determine much insulin or insulin herbs a person but that person. Do not stop your insulin (or medicine). Your body will let you know when to decrease the dosage. You will continue to cut back until you will no linger need your insulin or medicine.
