Barb's definition was completely useless. Something about when a remedy is given according to homoeopathic principles and this is followed by a cure. In one fell swoop, total failure to explain "homoeopathic principles", and redefinition so that homoeopathy can claim 100% cure ('cos if there wasn't a cure, then it wan't homoeopathy - no matter what the patient thought they were paying for).Sarah-I said:I believe that Barb has already defined this for you in another thread however, as far as I am concerned, Classical homeopathy means giving remedies in accordance with both Hahnemann and Kentian principles, being one remedy at a time and not mixing remedies and waiting long enough to see what a remedy does.
Kumar said:Sarah-I, Rolfe is right, I am suspicious that excess diabetic insulin increasing medications (oral medicines & injected insulin) can cause persistant high blood sugar in some conditions as insulin resistance. Regular informations are much available on one of the best LINK of ADA(American Diabetic Association) I provided in my previous posts.
Sarah-I said:BSM,
Homeopathy has nothing at all to do with this. Did you hear me mention it?
The answer to your question is NO by the way.
Kumar,
Insulin resistance, as well as being part of diabetes is also thought to be part of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). A lot of women who suffer from this syndrome are given the drug Metformin as treatment, as it is felt that the causation is insulin resistance, so treating the insulin resistance might help in these cases. However, not all people with insulin resistance are diabetic.
Sarah-I said:Kumar,
For certain substances to enter the cells to be utilised by them, they need protein carriers to do this. Ways of doing this are Active Transport. Active Transport uses what is known as the Sodium/Potassium Pump and substances move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration against a concentration gradient.
Kumar, perhaps you are becoming slightly confused by the use of the term Sodium in this respect? You do know that there is a higher concentration of Potassium inside the cell and a higher concentration of Sodium outside the cell?
Kumar said:As far as I understand, insulin level in body should never be low nor higher & both can probably result in persistance hyperglycemia(high BG/BS levels) depending upon the condition. Our body cells may be more sensitive to higher insulin level that higher BG level--so their resistance should be towards insulin first that to BG.
You are confusing cause and effect. High insulin levels are the RESULT, not the cause, of high BG. Now, it is possible that a very high insulin level due to faulty administering of insulin where sensitizing had been appropriate might speed up the developement of insensitivity, but that comes under the gross misprescribing I mentioned.
Mr.Hans, your reply this time is not so strong, pls try again in view of my indications. Have you manipulated insulin senstizer ignoring diabetic oral medicines which increases insulin secretio?
I am bit surprised that why proper replies could not be given inspite of so many clues provided by me.![]()
WHAAAT? Come off it! Not only do you expect me to answer your endless overly naive questions, most of which turn out to have a hidden agenda, but now you are taking on a school-master tone? Proper replies, indeed. My answers are based on facts. If you don't like facts, I suggest you slink back to your woo woo boards and discuss your dream-world with Bach, Wim, Divina, et al.

Anyway, can reduction in salt intake lower/control blood glucose levels in consderation of my previous postings/referances?

No, he doesn't like facts.
Remember this thread? More than a year ago. Kumar was told all this then, and he's just behaving as if the thread had never happened. In spite of everything, he still thinks that treating a diabetic makes them worse. Because of something he thinks he observed, the details of which he won't tell us, and which he is almost certainly misinterpreting anyway.
Let's talk about something else.
Rolfe.

Are you just going to keep asking the question until you get the answer you want to hear? Jeebus.
-TT
carbohydrate absorption
Carbohydrate absorption tends to occur at the small intestine brush border:
fructose:
absorbed passively down a concentration gradient
binds to a specific carrier protein in the apical cell membrane
either:
diffuses passively out of cells and into capillaries
forms lactate which then diffuses into portal blood
glucose:
absorbed mainly in jejunum by active process
enters via a co-transporter protein on the apical side of the enterocyte
co-transporter requires presence of sodium ions
sodium ions pass down electrochemical gradient into cell to replace sodium ions which are actively being transported out of cell on basolateral membrane by Na+/K+ ATPase pump
glucose diffuses out of cell into intercellular space and from there to local capillaries
chloride ions and water accompany the movement of sodium and glucose; they may travel through the cell or through the intercellular space
galactose: absorbed by a similar sodium-dependent co-transporter as glucose
The dependence of water and salt absorption on the absorption of glucose is the reason why oral rehydration solutions contain all three components.
