PROLOTHERAPY IS SAFE FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES OR OBESITY
Ross Hauser, M.D.

As most of you know I have been doing
Prolotherapy for many years now, having started in January 1993. In that time I have done over 30,000 Prolotherapy sessions. I have treated people with brittle diabetes, those on pumps, as well as many other diabetics (on oral pills and just one insulin/day).  Likewise, I have treated people who are a little overweight to those who were very overweight.  

So what happens when these get Prolotherapy?  Usually, their pain goes away.  Obesity, diabetes, and other medical conditions can slow the effects of Prolotherapy.  If this occurs instead of the person needing three to six visits of Prolotherapy they may need six to ten visits.  If they heal normally, they have a 75 to 82% chance of being cured of their pain.  

Over the course of the last 15 years of doing thousands of Prolotherapy sessions on diabetics we have found it very well tolerated.  Most of the diabetics tell us that it raises their blood sugar only a mild amount (like 10-30 points). This is also for a short time (perhaps a few hours).

In regards to those who are very overweight, they do not need to loose weight for the Prolotherapy to help them.  I would encourage them to loose weight because it would mean less stress on their joints.  When there is less stress on the joints, they need less Prolotherapy.  So if they want to need less Prolotherapy, then loose some weight.

For the person with the complicated medical condition, all I can say is that it would be best to get a comprehensive natural medicine evaluation and treatment.  The healthier you are the better you will heal from the Prolotherapy.   You can still get Prolotherapy alone, but your healing may be slower.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
