DID YOU KNOW?
Diabetes Mellitus, popularly known just as diabetes, is a major disease which
annually affects more than 80 million people
worldwide.
1. Nearly
30.3 million people in the US suffer from some form of diabetes
2. Out of them nearly
24% or 7.2 million people are unaware of their condition
3. An estimated 84 million adults have prediabetes – nearly 33.9% of the total adult population in the US
4. More men (36.6%) than women (29.3%) have prediabetes
5. Diabetes is the
4th leading cause of death in developed countries.
6. Undiagnosed diabetes poses risks to develop other serious conditions such as
blurry eyesight and loss of vision, cardiovascular diseases, amputations, stroke, liver problems and chronic kidney diseases.
There are 2 major types of diabetes corresponding to unique set of causes.
Type 1 diabetes is a congenital condition which can either be detected as early as within a few days or weeks of birth, or it can manifest in adulthood. In this condition the body fails to produce insulin which ensures proper absorption of glucose in cells. The patient must be administered insulin as it is not produced by the body.
Type 2 Diabetes is the other, more prevalent kind of diabetes. It has a wide variety of causes that range from genetic predisposition to dietary habits and even chronic stress. In this type of diabetes, insulin is produced by the pancreas but isn’t received by the cells, leading to malabsorption of glucose and high blood sugar levels.
Both the types of diabetes can be diagnosed by measuring Hemoglobin A1c levels, which indicate an average measure of blood sugar levels for the past 2-3 months.

However, Ayurvedic texts do not describe Diabetes as merely a high blood sugar condition, but also point it to be a result of irregular eating habits and relative carelessness. There are 20 different kinds of diabetes listed in Ayurveda, ascertained according to the predominant vitiated dosha in each type.
Diabetes is known as
Madhumeha in ancient Ayurvedic texts. ‘Madhu’ stands for honey and ‘meha’ stands for urine, literally meaning the disease that causes urine to be sweet. High blood sugar levels spill over in the urine and can be detected.
It has been classified as a Maharoga or major disease, as it causes serious health complications if not treated.
No need to be scared, though...

Conventional medicine works to alleviate the symptoms rather than the root cause of any disease. Faced with a lack of in-depth understanding of the disease, most patients have to remain on
medication which progressively increases, leading to loss of productivity and poor quality of life. Skyrocketing medical expenses do not help the case either. Not hitting at the base of disease can also inevitably lead to more serious complications such as nerve damage, loss of vision, renal failure and liver diseases. This course can help in reducing your healthcare costs and actually
address the underlying cause of the disease, leading to
long term health and possible reversal of effects.

empower you by helping you understand the nuances of useful markers like Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load, Carbohydrate Density and Blood Sugar Dysregulation, so that you can
become an authority on your own health and well-being. By availing this unique, integrative wellness course you can get an in-depth understanding of your body, the disease affecting you and its remission and even complete recovery.

“Being on Dr. Akil’s program, I learnt to solve the root of disease and think from a preventive point of view ..... The best part about Dr. Akil is that he is interested in your spiritual and emotional health as well. He is interested in treating not just the disease but the whole person and that makes all the difference!”
Normally, an appointment with a doctor can cost you anywhere between $300-$500 for a single consultation. Regular appointments mean a pretty heavy medical expenditure, which is imperative to bear. Contrast that with buying this course, and availing the expert recommendations of Dr. Akil without having to go anywhere. The difference in cost is huge! So is the nature of information you’ll receive. An integrative approach will go far and beyond modern medicine to tackle your blood sugar levels.
Dr. Akil’s stellar track record of treating patients with varied health conditions fully and comprehensively speaks for itself. He delivers the course in his trademark down to earth, warm conversational style which makes heavy duty concepts easy to understand. Normally, booking an appointment with him would mean a long waiting time but thanks to this course, you can benefit from his recommendations whenever you want!
The distinctive quality of this program is that it understands that each person is unique. Everyone has a unique fingerprint, unique dosha combination and unique triggers. Therefore it is mandatory to tailor the treatment method according to one’s unique requirements. One-size-fits-all approach is deeply flawed and this program avoids the pitfalls of generalization by recognizing this vital distinction, hence making for a more effective way of approaching diabetes.
Many patients come to me and tell me that their doctors had told them that they would never get better. But how could their doctors know? The body has a tremendous ability to heal, often more rapidly and completely than you might expect and that is something that you should never forget. Whether you are taking this course in order to learn tools to help your patients, or interested in working on healing yourself, the first thing to remember is that YOU CAN GET BETTER. I have created this course to give you the knowledge and understanding to help begin the journey of healing and transformation …. and you will love being on it.
