D iabetes is a dreaded disease which is known to mankind from time immemorial. In India there are about 35 million people who are suffering from diabetes. This accounts for about 25% of total diabetic patients in the world. Majority (90%) of these individuals suffer from type 2 diabetes which is usually detected accidently or in advanced stage. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has estimated that by the year 2025, the population of diabetic people in the world would reach 300 millions (presently 150 millions) and in India 57 millions. WHO has declared India as the Diabetes capital of the world.

Majority of Indian individuals suffer from the misconception that diabetes is due to excess intake of Sweet Items and will be Cured if they stop their intake. Moreover, diabetes is a disease which can be controlled but rarely cured by modern medicines. It has been observed that many diabetic patients improve dramatically when they combine Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Yoga, Magnetotherapy, Acupressure, Colour Therapy, Music Therapy and Feng-Shui with allopathic medicines.

In order to provide all this information for a layman, I have ventured to write this book and hope the readers will find it very useful and enjoyable to read.

A t the outset I must thank Shri Ram Avtar Gupta, the Managing Director of Pustak Mahal who has given me the opportunity to write this book for laymen on an ailment which is widely prevalent around the globe. I am grateful to the patients who came to our clinic for treatment of Diabetes and benefited from the alternative forms of treatment provided to them. I am indebted to Shri R.L. Jaggi, retired Senior Accounts Officer (Northern Railways) who has been successfully practising in Chromotherapy and had provided me with abundant literature on different systems of Alternative Medicine. (Dr.) Swami Ananta Bharati, Chairman and Founder of Swami Keshwananda Yoga Institute has thoroughly guided me and taught me the art of Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation. Shri N.S. Dabas, an eminent astrologer and Vastu Shastri who is a staunch believer, follower and practitioner of Magnetotherapy has also assisted me in these fields. Dr. Ruma Banerjee, a practising physiotherapist and Naturopath has guided me in her field of practice.

My wife Dr. Sunanda Sethi, an Ayurvedacharya and a Traditional Reiki Master has been a source of inspiration. I thank my children Rupal and Mitali without whose cooperation this book would not have been completed.
