NATURE CURE FOR DIABETES:

* Diet plays a vital role in the treatment of diabetes. The diabetes patient should be a strict lacto-vegetarian and take a low calorie, low-fat, alkaline diet of high quality natural food. Fruits, nuts and vegetables, whole meal bread and dairy products form a good diet of the diabetic. These foods should be eaten in a dry condition to ensure thorough salivation during the first part of the process of digestion.

The anti-diabetic effect of garlic is due to the presence of a sulphur- containing amino-S-Allyl acid cysteine sulphoxide (SACS). This chemical is believed to either increase the secretion of insulin by the pancreas or heighten the transport of blood glucose to the bounding line tissues.
