PROLOTHERAPY IS SAFE FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES
OR OBESITY
Ross Hauser, M.D.
As most of you know I have been doing
Prolotherapy
for many years now, having started in January 1993. In that time I have done
over 30,000 Prolotherapy sessions. I have treated people with brittle diabetes,
those on pumps, as well as many other diabetics (on oral pills and just one
insulin/day). Likewise, I have treated people who are a little
overweight to
those who were very overweight.
So what happens when these get Prolotherapy?
Usually, their pain goes away.
Obesity,
diabetes, and other medical conditions can slow the effects of Prolotherapy. If
this occurs instead of the person needing three to six visits of Prolotherapy
they may need six to ten visits. If they heal normally, they have a 75 to 82%
chance of being cured of their pain.
Over the course of the last 15 years of doing
thousands of Prolotherapy sessions on diabetics we have found it very well
tolerated. Most of the diabetics tell us that it raises their
blood sugar only
a mild amount (like 10-30 points). This is also for a short time (perhaps a few
hours).
In regards to those who are very overweight, they
do not need to loose weight for the Prolotherapy to help them. I would
encourage them to lose weight because it would mean less stress on their
joints. When there is less stress on the joints, they need less Prolotherapy.
So if they want to need less Prolotherapy, then loose some weight.
For the person with the complicated medical condition, all I can say is that it
would be best to get a comprehensive natural medicine evaluation and treatment.
The healthier you are the better you will heal from the Prolotherapy. You can
still get Prolotherapy alone, but your healing may be slower.
