Wow…. ok, fair enough!

Appreciate that… thank you…. (I was mistaken in my perception(s),
despite not having much/any love for either the ADA, JDF, etc. none of em do
much for me on any kind of "personal level"… but as advocacy groups go….

Catch you soon I hope…

One of the Standard Process products for diabetics is DIAPLEX. It’s supposed
to help people who are either hyper- or hypoglycemic. It is made from over
20 nutrients.

CHEZYN is also sometimes recommended for diabetics. It’s a zinc product with
other minerals and other nutrients such as vacuum dried beet root juice.
It’s also good for healing soft tissues, fighting acne and improve immune
function.

Lastly, they have CATAPLEX GTF to stimulate pancreatic cell function.

I’ve never tried "blind testing," but it’s a good idea! I think I’ll devise
a test where we put different substances in the bottles and cover the
bottles then see which test "good" and "bad." We’ll just mark the bottles
#1, #2, #3, etc. and then test, then open up and see what was in each one!

Hi All,

I just joined this list yesterday and was reviewing the archives to see the
tone of the group. What I saw was sad cause arguing over who’s method is best
defeats the purpose of helping each other.
I will give you my 2 cents for the record.
There are quacks who claim many things, there are doctors who know very

Having said that the issue as I see it is to find help for ourselves any
place we can.
The talk of "the medical community does all the studies and knows what’s best
is a myth."
Is this my opinion, yes but I am in the medical community as a professional,
with extensive experience with type 2 diabetes.
There are many "NEW" drugs which have not been tested in the long haul but
