Diabetics and anyone who has bad digestion need to know what to do to help the pancreas function efficiently. Since the blood carries nutrients and remedial substances to the parts of the body it can reach, the primary requirement is to stimulate the circulation. Take hot showers or apply moist hot packs for this purpose; herbal packs are especially good. As regards medicines, only few are known to act specifically on the pancreas. One such, sour whey as contained in Molkosan, is rich in rennin and lactic acid and gives good results. Years ago, fermented bedstraw (Galium aparine or cleavers) used to be prescribed with modest success. Of course, papaya preparations can be used to good effect, since their papain content helps to digest protein. Lycopodium 6x (club moss) is useful too.
You can also set aside days for fasting and raw vegetable diets, their effect being very encouraging. My book The Liver, the Regulator of Your Health contains instructions for diets that are good for the pancreas as well as the liver. A number of food items must be avoided completely, for example all boiled protein foods and the combination of fat, protein and sugar, either cooked or fried. Hot spices should also be avoided; use culinary herbs from the garden instead. The protein foods best tolerated are sour milk products. Prepare salads with a little cold-pressed oil and Molkosan. Of curative effect are bilberry (blueberry) juice, blackcurrant juice, weak herb teas, and occasionally a little buttermilk.
