➡️ Description:

As of June 2023, more than half a billion people live with diabetes worldwide. In the next 30 years, estimates say that this number will mostly likely double to 1.3 billion people.

The presentation will show a study of 123 females who have diabetes. The data collected are conditions and disorders mapped along the Chinese Spleen/Pancreas meridian and the Earth Element.

Interestingly, many conditions in my research today are typical in mainstream medical data linked to diabetes. However, adding the knowledge of the Meridians and the Five Elements can provide evidence of an ancient understanding of the workings of our body. Humans from previous historical eras lived in harmony with nature. Ill health was a cry from an imbalanced body that needed attention, thereby preventing severe diseases.

A few samples of mainstream observations overlapping with the Spleen/Pancreas Meridian follows:

• Thyroid disease and diabetes are common comorbid disorders, which means many people with thyroid disease also have diabetes and vice versa.
• After menopause, women are at higher risk for weight gain, which raises the risk for type 2 diabetes.
• Hard, fibrous masses in one or both breasts can manifest in type 1 or 2 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. These masses are non-cancerous and irregular in shape. However, women with diabetes have a 20 to 27 per cent increased risk of developing breast cancer.
• The risk for heart disease is six times higher for women with diabetes than those who don’t have diabetes.
• Females with diabetes are at higher risk for irregular or unpredictable menstrual cycles.
• Bunions are a diabetes complication that causes diabetic foot pain and can lead to other difficulties and complications. It is more common in females who also have weight gain.

The presentation will discuss the data obtained and support a broader understanding of sensitive reflexes and how to deliver preventive treatment protocols.
