(569) lady's fingers or ocra

My sis-in-law loves dessert. When she tested high in blood sugar, she trawled the net searching for folk cures. For almost a complete year, she soaked sliced lady's finger (one medium size) in cooled boiled water over night. The next morning she would drink the sticky water into her empty stomach and discard the vegetable pieces. After three months of continual drinking, she found her blood sugar slowly dropping even though she continued her merry way enjoying her many desserts. A few months ago she stopped taking the sticky solution and enjoy both sweet food and a normal blood sugar level. Though she tests her sugar level periodically just to be sure it is good.

My husband started this routine, within the first ten days, his blood sugar level remained unchanged but surprisingly his LDL dropped for the first time in ten years. He had been on cholesterol controlling drug for at least 5 years. On top of that, he takes raw soaked haba(an Indian spice) as well as cooked oatmeal every morning for at least a year. Now my husband in turn trawled the inter net for explanations. What he found is that the fibre in lady's finger absorbed LDL in the lower gut and so LDL is passed out of the body. You see, my thrifty husband could not bring himself to throw away his hard earned money -- the pieces of lady's finger. And so he ate them up every morning as a matter of course.

Recently I accompanied my mother to visit unwell elderly relatives who live hundreds of miles away. While chit-chatting, we brought up the above testimonies. My elderly aunt by marriage is a diabetic with lots of complications. She decided to try this folk cure, after all lady's finger is cheap and readily available round the year where we live. Two nights ago, my uncle called excitingly to let my mum know that her blood sugar dipped after just one week of the new suggested remedy. This really is the most dramatic result I have heard, for most folks, it takes months to see effects. Some give up too soon to see any benefits. Of course a diabetic has to continue her medications, to take tests as prescribed by a physician over regular check ups.
