Question by jimmy_tst: Have you read that lady’s fingers and barley could be used to treat diabetes?
I posted this question yesterday, and it got reported this morning for violation. I don’t know why anyone would report something that might be life saving. Anyway, here’s posting the question again with the information.
I received an email from a friend with the following information. If you are diabetic or if you have friends who are diabetic, perhaps you could consider the following information? The recommendation isn’t meant to replace insulin treatment – rather it is to complement the existing treatment – I suppose there is no harm trying the recommended treatment, since lady’s fingers and barley are natural, healthy vegetables and grains.

“Please note that another name for Lady Finger (Bhindi ) is ” OKURA “. Last month in one of TV program I learnt of a treatment of Sugar (Diabetes). Since I am diabetic, I tried it and it was very useful and my Sugar is in control now. In fact I have already reduced my medicine. Take two pieces of Lady Finger (Bhindi) and remove/cut both ends of each piece. Also put a small cut in the middle and put these two pieces in glass of water. Cover the glass and keep it at room temperature during night. Early morning, before breakfast simply remove two pieces of lady finger (bhindi) from the glass and drink that water. Keep doing it on daily basis. Within two weeks, you will see remarkable results in reduction of your SUGAR. My sister has got rid of her diabetes. She was on Insulin for a few years, but after taking the lady fingers every morning for a few months, she has stopped Insulin but continues to take the lady fingers every day. But she chops the lady fingers into fine pieces in the night, adds the water and drinks it all up the next morning. Please. try it as it will not do you any harm even if it does not do much good to you, but U have to keep taking it for a few months before U see results, as most cases might be chronic.”

“Diabetics should eat more barley as the fibre will prevent blood sugar levels from rising too high. It also provides relief from constipation or diarrhoea for those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome.”
I am not sure how much scientific support and research have been done on this recommended treatment. I suppose you could google “lady’s fingers”, “barley” and “diabetes”. It is up to your discretion on whether you want to implement this treatment, and how best to implement it.
I guess some westerners may not know the asian natural methods of healing and health. They have no concept of heatiness and cooling effects that food can give, though it’s a generally known fact amongst asians. Lady’s fingers are common in asia, especially in third world countries, though I think many supermarkets in USA should sell them.
Thanks for your faith-filled words, bro gj3. Thanks for your kind words too, sis Tallulah. I received the testimony from a friend’s email, so I thought it’s encouraging to share with people here. I think complementary medicine sounds great – I agree with your doctor’s advice.
