Control diabetes with Homeopathy !

Having to give up on pudding is not really the worst thing about diabetes. Diabetes can cause blindness after 15 years; approximately two per cent diabetics turn blind, while about 10 per cent develop severe visual handicap. This apart, it can also cause disability of the lower limb and escalate heart diseases and kidney failure. And though heavily underestimated, diabetes is actually the fifth leading cause of death worldwide.
And if you thought diabetes affects only the old, it would be good to let you know that at present there are 40 million Indians affected by diabetes, out of which almost 35- 40 per cent are people in the 25-35 years age group. More than 1800 cases of diabetes are diagnosed everyday. India has the largest number of diabetics in the world.
Studies show Indians carry certain genes that increase susceptibility to diabetes and lack those that provide protection. Primarily an urban disease, causative factors include family history, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and a faulty high fat and energy diet. Primarily, however, fact is that Type II or non-insulin dependent diabetes that accounts for around 90 per cent of all diabetes cases worldwide is essentially a lifestyle illness that makes homeopathy the treatment of choice. Studies and clinical evidence prove as much. In one instance, in hundred cases of diabetes treated with homoeopathy, 84 per cent cases showed normal blood sugar levels. Another group that supplemented treatment with homeopathy showed 97 per cent improvement as compared to 47 per cent without homeopathy. Homeopathy lowers the risk

factor of diabetic complications like diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy.
According to a study carried out at Glasgow Homeopathic, a double blind
randomised, placebo-controlled study for diabetic retinitis showed that 47 per cent patients given homeopathic medicine experienced improvement in central blood flow to the eye whilst a further 52 per cent patients showed improvement in blood flow to other parts of the eye.
Homeopathy controls diabetes by improving the patient’s immune system thereby helping the body absorb insulin better. It is both effective and safe, as it does not have dangerous side effects like hypoglycaemia that can lead to cardiovascular failure. Homeopathy can be used in the early stages of diabetes even as the first line of treatment. Homeopathy can also be used for those diabetics already on medicines without tampering the effect of the other medicines.

Homeopathic medicines for diabetes:

* Syzygium Jambolanum Q : Diabetes with great thirst, weakness, emaciation, profuse urination.

*Insulin 6c — indicated in diabetes with skin irritation, boils or varicose ulceration.

A New Sofa... How big is your family ?

You just can’t get rid of that stain on your old sofa, the fabric doesn’t match your taste anymore, or you’re moving to a new place and need something to fill a bigger (or smaller) space, so it’s time to retire your old couch and get a new one. If you’re in the market for a new sofa, here are some things to know before you buy.

THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU NEED TO SIT:
When thinking about the size, think one cushion per person. A three-cushion couch seats three comfortably, whereas a two-person couch will only fit three if those people don’t mind snuggling.

HOW MESSY YOUR FAMILY IS:
If you have kids or pets, keep in mind that a sofa with a pattern will hide stains better than one without. In addition, if you think your sofa will undergo a lot of wear and tear, pick a sofa with a sturdier fabric.

WHAT YOU FIND COMFORTABLE:
Comfort means different things to different people. Do you have a favourite chair that you just sink into? If so, do more than just look for that same cozy feeling when shopping for a sofa: actually measure your favourite chair’s dimensions, including the back angle and the depth of the seat.

HOW MUCH SPACE YOU HAVE:
You should have at least three feet around a sofa for people to pass by—any less and your room will feel crowded and cluttered. Measure the footprint of any sofa you’re thinking of getting so that you’ll have an idea how far it comes out into your living room.

QUALITY:
Even if you’re on a low budget, you should look for a good-quality build when buying a sofa otherwise you’ll just have to replace it again, and sooner than you probably want to. To check the integrity of the frame, try lifting one front leg up. If the other front leg stays on the ground after you’ve lifted the first more than an inch, move on the frame is too flexible and weak. Your sofa’s feet should be part of the frame, not bolted on.

COLOUR AND PATTERN:
Before buying a sofa, ask for a swatch of material to take home. Colours and patterns can look very different under different lighting. Taking home a sample is always a good idea.

YOUR USAGE HABITS:
If you’re planning to do more TV-watching and book-reading on your new sofa than entertaining—you’ll want a sofa that holds up well and that is comfortable.
