Guest guest Posted July 31, 2000 Report Share Posted July 31, 2000 Namaste Dear Sanjay, Rhoda and friends, Sanjay absolutely right about having to know the anatomy and the astrology for Medical Astrology. Fortunately, my understanding of anatomy is better than my understanding of astrology. So, I'm hoping this may help clear things up. I may have a fledgling understanding of astrology but my university studies and profession happens to be Biology. In a sea of BTechs, I'm happy to be able to add a different perspective and hope it is useful. Granted, I have left my work 5 yrs ago to have a family, and I may not current with the latest thinking, but this much I know. Diabetes is a disease of sugar metabolism. Sugar is normally cleared from the blood by the hormone, insulin . In normal individuals sugar is converted to glycogen and stored in the Liver and large muscles for energy. (Hence, carbo-loading for marathoners) Once the glycogen storehouses are filled the extra sugar is stored as fat (as many of us may be familiar with this). Insulin is produced by cells called Islets of Langerhans and is located on the Pancreas. I don't know astrologically speaking if the Pancreas is ruled by a different planet than the Liver or not. The Pancreas actsmore like a gland, releasing various enzymes and hormones needed for digestion. There are two main types of diabetes caused by two different problems. Diabetes type I begins in childhood and is cause by a complete or near lack of production of insulin and is treatable by daily injections of insulin. The second type is called Diabete type II or adult-onset diabetes and the latest thinking (as far as I know) is caused by a life long over-consumption of sugars and starches (venus?) and essentially causes the metabolism to burn out from an OVER-production of insulin. This type of diabetes can usually be treated by dietary changes,limiting the consumption of sugars and starches. So when looking at charts, there may be two different combinations to be looking for. I hope this was useful to the discussion. Best Wishes, Karen Skoler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2000 Report Share Posted July 31, 2000 Jaya Jagannath Dear Karen, Thats excellent info. So, there are two types of diabetes and the pancreas is also involved. Thus the basic point about the "energy being stored in the liver" is correct as I was taught. This is confirmed by your writing that Glucose is stored in the liver. Now, what I want to know is what does the bile do? Does it have any function connected with digestion like the insulin coming from the Pancreas. Secondly, if the pancreas are near the Liver, then they can also form a part of the Hasta Nakshatra, but will be a different pada than the liver. Hasta has four pada and we need to think what are the other two organs, big or small forming a part of this or whether the liver has different lobes like the heart. There is a lot of work to be done in medical astrology. I think Dr Charak being a medical man did contribute in this field.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2000 Report Share Posted July 31, 2000 Dear Sanjay, I'm glad this is useful info for you.I f you think this is not of great interest to most people on the list, please feel free to reply to me privately. I'm delighted to be of service to you. To answer you questions, bile is most definitely involved in digestion and is produced by the liver. It contains several enzymes that help breakdown food especially aids in digestion of fats. Once the bile is producted, it is stored and concentrated by the gall bladder. This organ is small compared to the liver and located right next to the liver in the right upper abdomen, and the pancreas is next to that and the stomach next to that.The liver, gall bladder, pancreas, stomach, and spleen are all located in the upper abdomen. It would be more clear for you could find a picture. The liver has 2 lobes. My question for you is why does Light On Life say that Hasta rules hands and fingers? Does it rule both?
