only the symptom.
Introduction: Diabetes and its complications were responsible for 8.8% of deaths worldwide in 2017. Many of those deaths could be avoided. Western medicine manages the disease with lifestyle changes and medication.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how in Traditional Chinese Medicine, all diseases are associated with the Yin and Yang imbalances, including diabetes. Although Western medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) share the diabetes treatment goals of reducing symptoms and preventing complications, their approaches to conceptualizing, diagnosing, and treating the disease are very different.
Methods: The methods used in this study were two case reports and bibliographic researches of TCM’s medical literature and Five Elements Theory on the pathophysiology of energy imbalances in diabetes, which lead to the manifestation of the clinical symptoms. Both patients had complete lack of energy in the chakras energy centers measured by radiesthesia procedure. The treatment results, looking from the energy point of view, treat the individual as a whole; not only treating the disease but the entire body, as recommends Hippocrates, the father of Medicine. The replenishment of the chakras energies meridians using highly diluted medications was used to replenish the chakras energies centers.
Results: After rebalancing the body’s energy, taking awareness and precaution about internal (emotional) triggers, dietary factors and external (climatic) triggers, and replenishing the chakras energies meridians, the symptoms’ improved in all physical and emotional aspects and the glycaemia were controlled much better reducing the necessity of using so many highly concentrated medications to control diabetes symptoms.
Conclusion: Concluding, when looking at
patients as a whole, from the point of view of Yin and Yang energy and Five
Elements Theory, and replenishing the chakras energies meridians with highly
diluted medications, we can analyze aspects of the diet normally recommended
and the use of hypoglycemic medication and/or insulin, and have a greater
balance of hyperglycemic diabetic patients, treating them according to the
energy point of view.
