BASED ON TRUE STORY: HOW TO CURE MEN YEAST INFECTION – PART 2


Well, in this post I would like to continue the story about David. After David take medication as I have suggested, the disease still has not recovered and he admits he is suffering from other diseases. He suffered from diabetes, but not at chronic level. I took his glucose readings, and I found his glucose above normal levels. So I recommend David to reduce the amount of sugar in each food.
I did not give David diabetes medication because David was not serious diabetes, glucose levels just above normal levels. David promised to follow my advice and would reduce the amount of sugar in each food.

After that, I always ask David about his illness. He told there was no any change on yeast infection he suffered. He told me that he was reducing the amount of sugar in food. David was disappointed because my advice did not help. Day after day, David came into my pharmacy and happily he told me that he had fully recovered from the yeast infection. He said that after he took the medicine from me, he had met with homoeopathist and tells the problem. The homoeopathist asked David to stop taking ice cubes. David practiced what homoeopathist told and after that his glucose level back to normal and his illness of yeast infections is getting better.

I can hardly believe what his told as far as I know the ice cube is not a cause of diabetes. After that, I asked several homoeopathists and all they said ice cubes are one of factors contribute causes of diabetes.
I also asked some doctors (allopathic doctor) and only two of them claiming that the ice cubes can be a contributor to diabetes. From what I think, the possibility of ice cube contents that causes diabetes is difficult for diabetic patients to reduce the glucose level.

In conclusion:
-David must stop taking ice cubes to lower the sugar level.
-yeast infections can be stopped if the patient is unable to control the sugar level.
-yeast infection is difficult to cure if the patient is suffering from diabetes.
-to get rid of yeast infections, patients must have normal sugar levels.
-until today, I still don't know what is relationship between diabetes with ice cubes.

You may also wonder to what was happening, but this is the true story of the experiences of my friends. If you have the same problem, maybe you can do as was done by David, or if you want to know more about yeast infections, please visit here.
