  3. Introduction • Human body has the inbuilt capability of healing itself completely of diseases. At Our Native Village, an eco-resort for holistic health, an environment is created that is conducive for the body’s self-healing mechanism to work. • The fundamental belief behind the 21 day holistic healing program is that the human system in general and the body in specific, has the capability of healing itself completely of diseases of the body, mind and soul. • The 21-day holistic health protocol for diabetes practiced at Our Native Village is a combination of ayurvedic therapies, acupressure, naturopathy, sound healing, meditation, yoga, pranayams, mudras, re-birthing breath work, past life regression, and mind body medicine knowledge.

  4. Study Objectives • Primary Objective: • Study the effect of 21 day holistic therapy on reduction in blood glucose level. • Secondary Objective: • Study the effect of 21 day holistic therapy on lipid levels, HbA1c and the consumption of antidiabetic medications.

  5. StudyEnd Points • Primary endpoint: • Reduction in fasting blood glucose from baseline to end of the study period (21 days). • Reduction in postprandial blood glucose from baseline to end of the study period (21 days). • Secondary endpoints: • Change in HbA1C from baseline to end of the study period (21 days). • Change in the use of antidiabetic medications from baseline to end of the study period (21 days). • Change in cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, VLDL, HDL from baseline to end of the study period (21 days).

  6. Study Procedure • 21 subjects enrolled in the study • Parameters measured (at baseline, day 0 and end of study, day 21) • Fasting Blood Glucose • Postprandial Blood Glucose • HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) • Cholesterol • Triglyceride • Direct LDL cholesterol • Very low density lipoprotein • HDL cholesterol • Antidiabetic medication usage Lab parameters were compared before and after the administration of holistic therapy.

  7. Results Change in Lab parameters at the end of the 21 day Holistic Therapy

  8. Results: Fasting Glucose • Out of 21 subjects enrolled in the study, 12 subjects showed reduction in fasting glucose levels at the end of 21 day holistic therapy. • Mean fasting glucose value reduced from155.29 mg/dl to 141.71 mg/dl.

  9. Results: PP Glucose • Out of 21 subjects enrolled in the study, 14 subjects showed reduction in postprandial glucose levels at the end of 21 day holistic therapy. • Mean postprandial glucose value reduced from 240.91 mg/dl to 211.29 mg/dl - a fall of about 29 units.

  10. Results: HbA1c • Out of 21 subjects enrolled in the study, 20 subjects showed reduction in HbA1c levels at the end of 21 day holistic therapy. • Mean glycosylated hemoglobin showed a decrease from 8.44% to 7.72%.

  11. Results: Triglycerides • Out of 21 subjects enrolled in the study, 13 subjects showed reduction in triglycerides level at the end of 21 day holistic therapy. • Mean triglyceride level reduced from 167.24 mg/dl to 158.52 mg/dl.

  12. Results: VLDL • Out of 21 subjects enrolled in the study, 14 subjects showed reduction in VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) level at the end of 21 day holistic therapy • Mean VLDL values showed a reduction from 33.45 to 30.94 mg/dl.

  13. Results: Maximum Change Maximum Change seen in Lab parameters at the end of 21- day Holistic Therapy

  14. Medication Usage Antidiabetic Medication Usage at the End of Holistic Therapy *No information on prescreening medication for 1 subject and 1 subject was not on any antidiabetic medication. **No information for 3 antidiabetic medications at the end of study period.

  15. Study Conclusion • With 21 day dietary therapy (plant based diet) and other modalities of holistic healing like yoga, meditation, acupressure etc., reduction was seen not only in blood sugar levels (fasting and postprandial blood glucose), HbA1c but also some of the lipid profile parameters like triglycerides and VLDL. The consumption of antidiabetic medication was also reduced at the end of the 21 day period. • The results of the study conducted by “Our Native Village Eco Resorts” on the effect of 21-day Holistic Therapy on Diabetes Mellitus indicate that the program supporting lifestyle change can be very effective in diabetes prevention and control.
