When it comes to managing diabetes, a condition that can slowly but surely kill a human being , many people are looking for a promising, non-invasive, painless cure. A review paper titled "Diabetes: A New Age Cure Made Possible" explores the potential of molecular hydrogen (H₂) therapy as a complementary treatment for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and its long-term complications. While it's not a standalone cure, the document suggests it can be used to prevent, control, and slow down the progression of the disease.
The Root of the Problem: Oxidative Stress
The paper highlights a conversation between molecular hydrogen (Mh2) and diabetes (Dm), where Mh2 proclaims it will put an end to Dm. When Dm asks how, Mh2 states it will "wipe out all of the human body's oxidative stress".
Oxidative stress, an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants, is a major contributor to the dysfunction of the body's physiological environment in T2DM. By acting as a powerful selective antioxidant, H₂ can neutralize harmful free radicals and protect cells from damage.
Metabolic Syndrome & The Promise of H₂
The document also touches on Metabolic Syndrome, which is a cluster of conditions that includes high blood pressure, high triglycerides, and high fasting blood sugar. These are all risk factors for diabetes, and oxidative stress is associated with many components of metabolic syndrome.
In a metaphorical dialogue, Mh2 claims it can "make more insulin, charge up all the glut, and wipe out all of the human body's oxidative stress". While the document does not call H₂ a permanent cure , it suggests that this therapy may hold the key to managing the disease and its long-term complications.
Is This the Answer?
The document is a "humble work done on the basis of reviews and research" on the subject. It suggests that the "cure is already in front of us and we are not aware of it".
