June 2010 - Dealing with Diabetic Problems

Diabetes is a growing concern in our society. Here is some information to help prevent or relieve this deadly disease.

When dealing with diabetes it is important for you to improve your circulation. This is what will prevent gangrene, help wounds heal faster, and even help prevent damage to your retina. Better circulation will mobilize insulin faster. We have found that tapping on the bones helps circulation greatly, especially in cases of diabetes. Bones are where blood cells are produced. It is know that diabetic patients are not necessarily anemic; however, we feel that in some way the vibrating of the bones does the diabetic a lot of good for the circulation. Bone tapping is the most effective technique we have found for diabetes.

Exercise:

Bone tapping should be done on any bone which is close enough to the surface to be felt: the vertebrae, the ribs, the fingers, knuckles, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, skull - but NOT the temples, which are too sensitive for tapping - jaw, feet, ankles, shins, knees and pelvic crest. In short, wherever you can feel your bones. However, though your throat may feel hard, and some very tight muscles may feel like bones, they are not what you want to tap on. Do familiarize yourself with the shape of your skeleton and the location of the bones.

This type of massage is a light, constant, quick (about three per second, just to give you an idea) tapping with the fingertips of all five fingers, with a very loose wrist and a sense of fluidity. Tap for long periods of time - a steady, rapid, drumming tap - alternating your hands. This tapping on the bones increases blood circulation and aids in bone construction. If you do not have any special weakness in your thigh muscles, you can tap with an open fist on your thigh, and the vibration will reach the femur bone, while relaxing the thigh muscles. You can do the same with your arm. If you can feel parts of your humerus (the upper-arm bone), tap on it with your fingertips; otherwise, tap with an open fist on the strong arm muscles.

Do not tap too hard, because that would be traumatic for the fragile bones; but do not tap too lightly, as this will have no effect: the tapping should be pleasant to your fingers as well as to the person who is receiving the treatment. you may find it amazing how relaxed a person can become when his or her bones are tapped.

“After being diabetic for 20 years, and being diagnosed as legally blind from its complications, I was left to either live as a blind person or seek another way.  I chose to work with Meir Schneider intensively, to immerse myself in his teachings.  What I learned in the training is personal, indescribable and life affirming.   I use the knowledge I gained in Meir’s training every day of my life.  I now have an unrestricted driver’s license.”  Rachel Riley Cox, Palo Alto, CA
