“Diabetes is a preventable and curable disease; all you have to do is watch what you eat. We have to go back to the garden, the natural ways if we want to cure our diabetes.”
This hearty recommendation is one coming from the founder of Doobay Medical Center, Dr. Budhendra Doobay. He revealed this during an awareness session focused on the disease, diabetes, which was hosted yesterday at the Cara Lodge Lot 249 Quamina Street, Georgetown.
Lecturing over 200 diabetic patients yesterday, Dr. Doobay explained that there are alternative ways which individuals can use to lower their diabetes besides using medicine and drugs. The doctor added that these best practices can cure the chronic disease.
According to Dr. Doobay, diabetes can happen when your blood sugar cannot be metabolized by the insulin in your body. “High sugar is a toxic substance in your body, so no matter our age we must monitor our sugar intake.
“We do need sugar in our body; our brain needs it and we use it as a source of energy, but we do not have to get sugar by consuming glucose related items or carbohydrates. We can get sugar from fats and proteins.”
Dr. Doobay warned that the average person should not be consuming more than one tablespoon of sugar per day. “The generation of today is moving away from the natural products. People are now using preservatives.
“The habit of consuming soda drinks is not good for your general health. We must go back to the soil because the produce that comes from the soil is known to cure some diseases that doctors claimed are incurable.
“In the garden there are fresh products and there is nothing like fresh products to enhance your health,” Dr. Doobay explained.
He also stated that most of medications that are prescribed by doctors to help treat diabetic are doing more damage to the body than the diabetes itself. The doctor listed one of those drugs as ‘Statins’ which is prescribed to persons with Type- two diabetes.
Dr. Doobay stated that although the drug is widely given to patients by doctors and even sold at several pharmacies, it has a lot of bad effects on the body such as causing damage to the muscles and other soft tissues.
He also related tragic cases to the audience about what had happened to persons who used “Statins” to treat their diabetes.
In one case, the victim was unable to walk due to the severe muscle- damage he sustained following using the drug. To date, that person has not regained strength in his legs.
According to the Medical Doctor, over the years cholesterol has been given a bad name when it should not because the body produces over 3000 grams of cholesterol per day. Hence, balanced cholesterol is important for our hormones, enzymes, among other.
He further added that although cholesterol is good to the body it should not be in combination with diabetes because that chronic condition makes cholesterol bad.
Currently the two main types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2; Type 1 diabetes, widely known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is a form of diabetes that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin in the body.
In the case of diabetic patients taking insulin as a drug, Dr. Doobay described such as bad for the body.
“Besides inflammation of the blood vessels in the body insulin causes cancer; cancer loves insulin. Researches shows that if you have a dish and you put a cancer cell along with some insulin inside, the cancer cell grows very rapidly but if you removed the insulin from the dish the cell will stop growing.
“Sugar is toxic but more toxic than sugar is insulin,” the doctor noted. He also made reference to substitutes for insulin are natural, garden produces, exercise and intimidate fasting.
Director of Doobay Medical Center, Dr. Roop Persaud also spoke at the event.
