Diabetes

The complementary therapy for diabetes of Traditional Chinese Medicine , Qigong, Acupuncture, tui na, and Western medicine has been a great success in China.
A majority of diabetes mellitus sufferers, when using Western medicine alone, eventually develop eye problems and/or kidney problems and/or die of cardiovascular complications. According to some reports from a major modern hospital in China, based on their data on diabetes patients, correct applications of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) together with modern drugs can prevent those complications. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) (of internal herbal medicine) diagnosis are based on zheng (syndromes), which is a system of clinical diagnostics that emphasizes the overall functions of the human body. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by itself cannot provide the needed insulin for insulin dependent sufferers, but it can complement the pharmaceutically manufactured insulin to help maintain the whole system of the body if being used properly.
Note: All modern medical schools in China are teaching the same curricula as those of the medical schools in the West. All major hospitals in China are the same as the Western type of hospitals in the West but many of them have started to use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy also. Some major traditional Chinese medical schools have started to include medical biochemistry in their curricula.
Classifications of diabetes patients and herb formulae:

I. Yin deficient and heat is overactive 1. Lungs and stomach heat is overactive 2. Heart and stomach heat is overactive 3. Heart heat is overactive 4. Liver yang is overactive II. Qi and yin both deficient 1. Heart and lung both deficient 2. Heart and spleen both deficient 3. Heart and kidney both deficient 4. Heart and liver both deficient III. Yin and yang both deficient 1. Kidney yin and yang both deficient 2. Spleen and kidney yang deficient 3. Spleen and stomach yang deficient 4. Heart and kidney yang deficient 5. Heart yang deficient

Herb therapy for other complications
1. Major blood vessel problems 2. Capillary problems 3. Neurological problems 4. Infections 5. High lipids and fatty liver

The the formulae to be revealed and discussed here are pure traditional Chinese herb formulae.
Do not confuse them with the pre-packaged formulae which sometimes are not pure traditional
Chinese herbs and might contain illegal amounts of modern prescription drugs which can be dangerous.
