Dear Debra,

I never cease to be appalled at the abysmal ignorance of our medical
profession when it comes to restoring, rebuilding, and regeneration of our
bodies!!! No calcium? NO HEART BEAT. NO MUSCLES. No lots of things.
That is INSANE ADVICE! ! !

WE MUST HAVE 72 TRACE MINERALS DAILY FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH, no ifs, ands, or
buts. But they are very hard to come by. I get mine from a company in
California that has the best I’ve found. But since I also make them
available to others, I’m not going to say who they are here. I will only
give that out privately.

Cinnamon in the store is OLD, not processed under conditions meant to retain
potency. Same thing for turmeric. I’ve seen several online sources for the

Hi,

carry it.I also tried the cassia cinnamon & they didnt know what I was
talking about….what is the difference in cinniamon we buy at the store in a
seasoning form?Is cinniamon toast with wheat bread & s plenda bad .I think
that is a good sweet satisfier too me.I also wondered about the weight
watchers points diet? Has any tried this? one of my friends swears by it.but
she isnt diabetic.she said you stay full you just count points. as for
calcium it plugs me up.I have problems with that alot.any advice on a good
natural laxative? a nurse told me (a Dr. said)minerals work agaisnt your
heart, it scared me….too take any…my aunt uses minerals daily to keep her
regulated.she is diabetic.Thanks,Debra

Can you bake with it?

Thanks,

I make them. You can find the recipe in most cook books, but I think it

3 egg whites
3/4 cup of sugar - I use 3/4 cup of splenda
Cocoa
nuts - optional

Mix egg whites with a mixer until foamy, then add splenda. Beat on high
until stiff. Then I stir in Cocoa to taste and nuts. Drop on baking pan in
big clumps and bake 1 1/2 hours on 250. Then let sit in the over for another
hour with the over off.

They come out very crispy. You can also beat heavy whipping creme with
splenda and make a very low carb whipped creme and put on top of them. Very
chocolately and tasty with very low carbs.

STEVIA is a MODERN MIRACLE PRODUCT. We use it constantly, though some
people don’t care for the little aftertaste that can occur if you put it in
something REALLY HOT. Stevia is also a diabetic’s BEST FRIEND. Stevia leaf
has absolute sugar reduction power and also helps curb cravings. We LOVE
IT!

The majority of hair analysis labs are on the level, though a few are not.
It also depends WHERE the hair came from and how much shampoo residue there
may have been on it, though.

Sodium/potassium imbalance in that direction is normal…unfortunately, THAT
IS BAD. MOST of us are out of balance that way. I disagree about no
calcium supplements: women need them. Just depends on what KIND of
calcium.

Also, the potassium seems a bit high.

One of the most helpful books I’ve ever read on the subject is The Carbohydrate
Addicts Diet, which I know is considered a staple in the weight loss field.

Unquestionably, the junk foods, potato chips, cakes, cookies, pie, etc., are
poisoning us, yet we crave them. This book taught me how to recognize what it
calls "trigger" foods - those foods that TRIGGER UNCONTROLLABLE FOOD CRAVINGS.
ALL sugary stuff pretty much will do this, but other quite surprising things
can. So for years now I’ve noticed when I feel like eating myself out of house
and home, I’ve HAD SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I pinpoint that and try NOT to do it
again.

One of my most important triggers is Sucrolose (Splenda). I can take it in VERY
small amounts, but that’s about it.

Orange juice did…but of course, I had to give that up entirely as a diabetic.

i have known about being diabetic for just over a year. I know
exerice and diet are the answer, but what diet, I have used high
protein and I have enegery but it causes other problems, you have to
take too many suppliments, I take coral calcium and other suggestive
herbs. I am dooing well but I am still on doctor subscribed
medication, which I take kicking and screaming. Please some of you
who are doing well tell me what diet you follow—I need to loose
some weight too.

I am Diabetic since 1988, have been on three different oral
medicine. However, latletly my sugar is higer than 195. I am also
taking three kinds of herbal medicine such as Gymnema 400 mg,
Fenugreek 610 mg, and Glucobetic (this since last weak). I am taking
three time a day. My doctor wants me to start insulin. I am try to
avoid it.
If any body have any suggestion to reduce my sugar. I will
appreciate very much. Thanks. Sibte
