Someone mentioned cassia cinnamon… can you enlighten me? I’ve heard
cinnamon lowers blood sugar, but I too thought it was the kind out of the
grocery store. Is the cassia the kind that is an essential oil?

Linda, I for one applaud your efforts and am interested in all that you
have learned and appreciate very much the time you take to input with this
group. I somehow was left off the toxic email that was written, didn’t see
that, but just from the research I’ve done just on the internet in the past
couple of years since my diagnosis, I believe without a doubt that you are
totally on target, as everything you say lines up with all I’ve learned this
far. (Actually, I thought YOU were the moderator !) Keep on truckin’

A week or maybe longer ago, someone mentioned that their pancreas was
functioning X%…. what kind of test is done to determine whether your
pancreas is functioning?

From all the reading I did when first diagnosed as diabetic (Type II) I found
it’s widely written that almost all diabetics are deficient in magnesium.
Could be that her aunt has read the same thing, and that’s why she takes
it…..?
Somone new to the list or rejoinging the list recently asked if a cure for
diabetes had been found. It was generally conceded that the answer is no….
but — isn’t the cause for most Type II diabetes a severe deficiency of
certain vitamins and minerals caused by overloading the body for years with
too much sugar/carbs and not exercising enough to keep stuff moving through
the body as it should (aka lifestyle diabetes)…. and the "cure" for Type
II is then to have blood/hair/urine analysis to find out which vitamins and
minerals you as an individual are deficient in, correcting those
deficiencies, plus correcting any electrolyte imbalances … plus exercising
to make the body processes work as it was intended …..?
Not to diss the importance of doctors, but if the above is true, then seems
to me as if they go about treating Type II lifestyle diabetes bass-ackwards.
Instead of correcting what is wrong in the body, they immediately begin
treatment by putting patches on the problem by using drugs that work on the
pancreas and other body functions….. which not only leaves the basic
problems/body dysfunctions untreated, and therefore the diabetes uncured, but
also causes a new cycle of problems from the side effects of the drugs.

Jewel, Very Obviously, we would have peace on this list if you got off of it,
since you’re the only one who constantly harps on about the slightest thing
and detracts from the true goal of this list. You kept griping to and about
Linda Yates a number of emails after she was gone I was never on Linda
Yates’ "side" … I simply wanted you to shut the heck up and leave it alone,
use your delete button, and let it go, which is what everyone else seems to
do. I very much needed the information about diabetes given here from people
with experience with the diease, and have found more information here on this
list in recent weeks than all the researching I’ve done by myself in the last
2 years. But I’ve decided to unsubscribe, which I’m sure will make you happy
that you have driven us new ones off by your unrelenting jammering, repeating
the same thing over and over and over and over and over. No doubt in my
mind that you have done this repeatedly in the past to others until you drive
them away. Feel free to hammer me down for the next number of emails …
I’ll be gone and won’t have to listen to you any more. To be so
knowledgeable, you sure are toxic in your dealings with others … sickening.

Has anyone on this list ever tried the water and sea salt cure for
diabetes?
Thanks,

Hi Kady. I’m sorry - I busted up when I read your post. This picture
from ‘Castaway’ popped into my head - A ragged guy on a raft, adrift
on the sea, DEFINITELY on the water and sea salt diet, closing in
fast on the ultimate ‘cure’ for ALL the ailments of life…. But
seriously, what IS the water and sea salt diet? Sounds
interesting. -Linda R

Thank you, Mary, for following up on that. After I am done with this
course of NMT I’m doing and its results settle out, i’d like to try
the Inositol again. A couple appointments ago my Pr tested me for all
the supplements I’d been taking, and almost all of them were doing
more harm than good (!). So I am off them, for the moment. Makes me
kind of nervous, as a lot of research and personal testing went into
my choices of what to take…but the idea is that NMT has made them
unnecessary. I AM rid of all food allergies :-), and don’t get so
sore when I exert myself 8=). My Pr took me off my thyroid supplement
(Organic porcine source w/both T3 and T4) and put me on a homeopathic
remedy to stimulate endogenous thyroxin production…But I don’t even
HAVE a thyroid gland any more (Nuked 12 yrs. ago) so I’m hoping Pr
isn’t nutso. Gotta give it all a good try or not bother, I figure. I
had my husband muscle test me for my old thyroid meds yesterday, and
sure enough, i was weaker when I held the tablets in my hand. It

Hi Jewell. Cool about the doctor…Is there an easy way to determine
your blood type besides going through a physician/blood draw, etc? I
seem to remember a kit sort of like a glucometer we used in a biology
class I once took which allowed us to type each other…?

Dear Linda,
From a posting in May.
>i was weaker when I held the tablets in my hand
What does that mean, is there a meaning there?
Thanks,
Pinkie

Hi Pinkie. I don’t remember the post exactly, but it sounds
like ‘muscle testing’. YOu hold your arm straight out and have a
helper try to push it down while you resist. This gives your helper a
baseline feel for your resisting strength. Then you hold the
product/supplement/etc. that you want to test in your free hand and
have the helper test your strength again. If you are ’stronger’ -
able to resist more powerfully - the product is good for you. If you
lose strength, then the product isn’t good for you. That’s the basic
idea, anyway. Could be hocus- pocus. I don’t know. You do find
differences, though. -Linda R

Control of Type 2 diabetes depends mostly on 2 things: proper diet and
exercise.
A friend who does not take any medicine but broke her leg and therefore
cannot exercise for several months would like to know how she can keep her
diabetes
in control with food only. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Dietary inulin (sic) reduces circulating glucose levels in individuals
with high levels.
It also reduces VLDL and LDL cholesterol.
The herb gymnea sylvestris and chromium supplements both increase cell
sensitivity to insulin.
The glyconutrients found in some foods and concentrated in Mannatech
products make the cells more responsive to insulin by correcting
malformed cell receptor sites. Insulin, like any hormone, must have
properly formed receptor sites to adhere to or circulating levels will
rise.

Mornin’ Jeff;
(sic) means Spelling Is Corrrect. Dietary inulin (sic) is what I was
talking about.
