This is the reality of diabetes in Korea: 8% of entire population suffering from diabetes. Number of diabetes patients increasing by 300,000 per year. The highest death rate from diabetes complications among OECD countries. Diabetes is a disease that develops when the pancreas fails to properly produce insulin or when body fails to use glucose properly that blood glucose level becomes too high. Complications are scarier than the disease itself.
When a high blood sugar level persists due to failure to control the blood sugar level, the sticky sugar inside the blood damages different organs in the body and causes various complications.
For how dangerous the disease is, its treatment is way too simple. Currently, majority of diabetes patients focus on controlling their disease rather than curing them completely. Even worse, continuous administration of medication worsened insulin resistance, weakened pancreas cells, and declined autoregulation of blood sugar level. Type 2 diabetes, what most of the adult diabetes patients have nowadays, is when there is sufficient insulin but sugar accumulates in the blood vessels because the body fails to use glucose. The cause of this type of diabetes is polluted cell membranes with declined insulin detecting ability and increased insulin resistance, which decreases inflow of glucose into the tissue cells.
The wastes that get stuck in the cell membrane are phlegm toxins. The phlegm toxins also damage the pancreas. When the toxins accumulate inside the pancreas, antigenic substances are generated to develop an auto-immune reaction. Ultimately, the pancreas cells are destroyed, which leads to insulin production disorder. The phlegm stagnation treatment and detoxification therapy were applied to remove the wastes in the cell membrane, and this led to a wonderful treatment effect where the blood sugar level dropped even after reducing the amount of hypoglycemic agents and insulin injection.
A 43-year-old female patient who had a cholesterol level of 1,250 and a fasting blood sugar level of 200 received the phlegm stagnation treatment, and her fasting blood sugar level dropped below 100, and she no longer had to take diabetes medicine. Even her cholesterol level dropped below 300 that her overall health condition recovered. Such case proves that acquired diabetes developed due to bad eating habits and obesity is closely related to the gastrointestinal phlegm stagnation.
