Dr Sabra/Dr passkey - treatement for my mother

Hi Dr Sabra/passkey ,

I wanted to seek your opinion for my mother who is a diabetic .,

My mother is 65 yrs old and has been suffering from diabetes from the past 14 years. Her readings are 270 Fasting and 370 PP.

Her blood pressure is normal.She is currently on Allopathic medicinies.
1 year ago we got her into trying homeopathic treatment and we started her on "Pancreatin" and CB 8 ( both medicines are from "handbook of Healing" by Dr Narayani ( swami Sivananda disciple)
She did well initally and for the next 2 months the reading came to 170 fasting and 220 PP. then we started her on the second bottle of the same and suddenly her reading again shot up and wentall the way to close to 350 fasting and her PP even went to 600 and so we stopped the above medicine and put her on syzigum jambulam ( mother tinture)and there was no improvement.

so went back to allopatic drugs. To draw on a positive she was at her best when on homeopathy and seemed cheerful, had no gas problems,slept well and overall felt great.

with allopathic drugs all the old symptoms like gas/lack of sleep etc came back. also she lost weight considerably.
the doctor has recommended Insulin and she is reluctant.

is there any recommended treatment from homeopathy or she has to start insulin.
Our family is hereditary wityh both my grandparents( maternal) suufering from it and my paternal grandma also. her two brothers are also diabetic
Pls suggest appropriate remedy

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
First, please do not use Mother Tinctures, too close to the original substance and may cause problems depending on the remedy chosen.

It BEGINS with a MT and THEN remedies are made that are totally safe. One wouldn't want to take a MT of arsnic, you see?

I hope others will post as we need different networking to choose the best for your mother.

Blessings, Sabra

Thanks Dr sabra ,

I agree to your suggestion but we did that so that we could control the situation.

anyway I will wait for your recommendation. The allopathic doctor has suggested her to take insulin injections which he wants to start today. so I wanted advise on wether it is better for us to wait for your suggestions or should be start insulin and then when your recommendations come we start that parallely

Thank you once again for replying to my mail

if her weight loss is due to the diabetes rather than the allopathic drugs then she may have a lot of ketones in her system and will need insulin at this point to help rebalance her system - has she been tested for ketones? you can notice ketones also by the smell on the breath (like pear drops)? Usually this happens with Type 1 (insulin dependent diabetes) rather than type 2 ('diet controlled' or non-insulin dependent diabetes).
Is her doctor a diabetes specialist? is she seeing a diabetes specialist? If the doc is a diabetes specialist then his recommendation for insulin will probably have a good reason and could be a lot better for your mum than her previous allopathic drugs. I am not one for allopathic drugs but this is probably a life-saving situation and diabetic complications are best avoided with good diabetes treatment. Believe me - I have seen diabetes treated too late, badly and also early and well in many members of my family.
Homeopathy can still help greatly alongside insulin treatment.
In my experience though if insulin is really needed then homeopathy does not help until blood sugar balance is restored with good insulin treatment.

I do not know how a MT could help "control" the situation. Do not understand this thinking.

At this time, she must be kept stable or more things may happen and cause damage to the body from the extreme conditions.

Look into a diabetic diet listing or book, etc. Look on the net. She must eat proper foods on a very regular basis to keep her count in normal ranges. There are sugars in things one has no idea. Look at every ingredient list and be suspicious of ones you have no idea what it is.

I will be studying, good that you mentioned all you gave.

Many times one must treat with both allopathic and homeopathy as it is a physical necessity.

Am looking for a remedy that will be best under these circumstances.

Blessings, Sabra

If it is possible to control the problem with diet do that .

Insulin injections are addictive and tend to reduce the body's natural production.

I have used Syzgyium 3x or 6x and I agree with Sabra that MT's are best avoided in this situation. Try using it in this potency range . 3 doses a day.

I am sure that Sabra will be back with more valuable info -- so avoid the injections if poss.

thanks everybody for the replies.
I think we did some things without really understanding the Implications .
Anyway I think I will get my mom to start on Syzgyium 6 ( we dont get 6X potence) is that alright?
Meanwhile I will wait for Sabra and Erika also to come back with their suggestions.

Regarding Ketone test we had done that 9-10 months ago and everything was normal.
she also sleeps well.

so look to hearing from you.
and Thanks once again.

I have known szygium herbal tincture to be used to help 'control' high blood sugar - a member of my family uses this with moderate success when the blood sugar is very high.
Phos-Ac is a very useful remedy in diabetes when the sugar is so high that dehydration is beginning, with lots of urination and thirst alongwith high blood sugar, exhaustion, depression and indifference, tearfulness and maybe headaches.
Arnica (30c or 200c)has also helped reduce blood sugar levels quite drastically - this could perhaps be explained by the fact that blood sugars can rise with stress and illness as well as with carbohydrate/sugar consumption. :)
I am glad the ketone test 8-10 months ago was negative but would ask Have you done a recent ketone test?

OK Sriniraon, the remedy to try is VIOLA TRICOLOR 6C. One dose per day...every other day...for 6 doses.

If mother becomes uncomfortable, stretch out the doses to every 3 days, but only if necessary. NO, it is not side effects. It is the remedy working to relieve some suppressed stuff.

Watch her carefully. One wouldn't want her sicker because one does not want insulin.

Water, Water, Water, and NO caffeine at all, no sodas, no diet stuff at all.

Please report progress.

Blessings, Sabra
