Diabetes has become widespread. According to Ayurveda, it is caused when diluted cough accumulates in body. If we analyze the chemical composition of sugars, we find that the number of carbon atoms are equal to twice the number of hydrogen atoms and similar number of oxygen atoms. Hence the number of carbon atoms and water molecules are equal. That is the reason, when we burn sugar, we get carbon and water. Ayurveda defines all solids as Prithwi and all fluids as Ap. Their combination is decided as Madhur rasa or sweet. Since cough has a combination of both in a diluted form, it is sweet. When it accumulates in body, it remains attached to the various channels like moss in a water pipe. This slows down all systems, which creates different complications in different persons. Like the moss coming out from the tap, sometimes the accumulated cough comes out through urine. That tests sugar. All food taken are first converted into sugar first. Hence blood sugar level is not a true indication of sugar, as it can be affected by other body conditions like metabolic problems. The pharmaceutical companies conspire to test the blood sugar level and gradually reduce the level to declare more people diabetic to increase their medicine sell. Recently, seven of the top pharmaceutical companies met to decide to lower the level of blood sugar, so that more people can be declared diabetic and their sell can go up. Doctors are often bribed to toe their line. Hence people should be careful about diabetes. According to Ayurveda, there are 20 types of diabetes. One must remember that sugar is not a disease – it is only a symptom. Diabetes is the disease. But doctors try to manage the symptoms, as they are not taught to treat the system. All the doctors do is to lower the sugar level. But that is not treatment and it creates additional complications. Hence a diabetic person does not recover, but continuously require more and more treatment for one or the other diseases. Here are some important symptoms of rise in blood sugar level.
