Suggest Treatment For Type 2 Diabetes

I am 68 years old and have Agent Orange related type 2 diabetes (since 2000). In 2005 I had a related stroke (Rt. medulla CVA). I take insulin injections. Recently I developed a rash with itching on my right lower leg. I am trying to figure out if this is food related and what I can use to stop the itching (cortisone does not work). Thank you, Dennis Maddox

Hello
Thank you for writing to us on Health care Magic.
Based on your history the response to your question is as follows.
1. For itching, antihistamine like loratidine or cetrizine will be helpful.
2. Also apply calamine lotion over it.
3. Right lower leg, only, look at local cause. Possibly socks or foot wear or environmental. Not food related.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you

Dear Denis , your sufferings from Agent Orange related type 2 diabetes (since 2000) , had a related stroke (Rt. medulla CVA). and reached to stage to take insulin injections .
And Recently developed a rash with itching on right lower leg.
For your info Every day, we are bombarded with toxins in our environment and in our food which is why detoxification is such a critical process in your body & weakened immunity . If the detox process is hindered, toxins will build up in your body eventually causing acidity and toxemia. These are the root causes of nearly all diseases ,requiring modification of life style and food habits to strengthen Immune system .

Only Gulping on medicines and surgeries won't help much , unless Immune system is strengthened by modifying life style and food habits ,

Increasing activity level by regular yoga ,pranayam deep breathing , with Proper and sufficient diet including essential nutrients & supplements full of antioxidants , Modification in your life style , food habits -include healthy diet as fiber,vitamins minerals ,cheeze, milk , supplements full of antioxidents , in natural form --fruit ,green veges , lemon juice with water and salt and pepper before meals , ginger ,garlic , Aloe vera 30 ml , Amla ,Turmeric powder a level spoon + almond oil a Tspoon with hot milk ,at bed time, with required work out ----

from diseases .
I would like to suggest you to keep a check on your diet and see which food is the culprit to cause you a rash with itching . Try to figure out if this is food related and avoid to eat those items .

Apply fresh aloe vera jel on the effected part to help alley rash with itching .
