I use one of my Ayurvedic remedies to help with appetite suppression - its
ingredients are mostly unknown and unpronounceable to Westerners! But I
know a vitamin that CAUSES MASSIVE APPETITE PROBLEMS: The B complex
vitamins! And yet they are widely prescribed FOR diabetes.

Chromium is pretty much required for all diabetics, but only the GTF form
works. It’s one of my best sellers as a result, and I take it DAILY. You
can get it lots of places, but we need about 1000 mcg a day and I was lucky
to find it in 500 mcg tablets…almost all I’ve found commercially are just
200, so those you’d need 5 a day.

I am not so sure your SUGARS are diving after exercise: normally, this is
because of electrolyte or MINERAL depletion. Have you actually done a
reading to confirm it’s sugars? But thank God you aren’t listening to your
Mom! Sugar is NEVER the answer! Not for ANYONE!

Please…pardon my French…but centrum is PURE CRAP. I wouldn’t give it to
a dog. That’s why it’s so cheap, it’s made of mostly the cheapest
ingredients they can find. No wonder it constipates you. Calcium through
Tums also does not work, as calcium in them CANNOT be absorbed because of
their antacid activity. It gets into the bloodstream and causes havoc with
the joints and arteries.

The amount of disinformation out there is overwhelming.

For David:

You are right: there are causes for all illnesses. But Type II diabetes is
NOT an illness in the classic sense of an invading bacteria or virus. It is
a byproduct of ABUSE…abuse of food (carbs! and hydrogenated fats), abuse
of our bodies with too much stress and too little exercise, and other as yet
unknown factors, which may include pollution, toxins, pesticides, chemicals,
and their effects on us, and therefore cannot be "CURED" in the same way as
eradicating a virus. But we CAN make the symptoms go away. I’ve done this
myself and helped hundreds do the same. But the moment we go back to the
old ways that put us here, it will come back, just the same as one can
re-break a bone if one repeats the fall or action that broke it in the first
case.

There is no magic pill to cure this. But if one reads the basic premises on

Dear Debra,

I’m assuming I’m the right Linda? I know there are two of us here! I don’t
think magnesium tablets are bad by themselves, but I’d also want to be sure
she’s getting adequate calcium. I really like to keep the cal/mag situation
in balance - 2/1 in favor of calcium. What is she using them FOR
specifically? What does she think they are doing for her?

Hi,
What about magnesium tablets? My aunt is diabetic & takes them daily &
swears by them..But I have heard of other reports their bad on the
heart…….

Dear Phyllis,

YES - I agree. SOMETIMES YOU DO need drugs. I, too, have had MAJOR, VERY
SEVERE PANIC AND ANXIETY DISORDER, over a 30 year time period, but, unlike
most of us, I SEARCHED AND SEARCHED until I found NATURAL THINGS to
help…and I DID FIND THEM. I’ve seen many lives RUINED by Zoloft and
similar products, and I simply was NOT willing to do that. I went through a
living hell for 5 years about 25 years ago with panic and anxiety. I now
know of an arsenal of things against them, and THEY ALL WORK, but not all of
them on everybody. The most common things, however, like St. Johns Wort,
Kava Kava, hops, passion flower, or valerian, DO NOT.

I know of only ONE mental type condition for which we have absolutely
NOTHING natural, unless one counts lithium, which is a mineral, and that’s
bipolar disorder. NOTHING touches it but drugs.

Hi…I’m new to this chat room…was wondering if anyone is using
chelation to improve their diabetes or any other health problems????

Take heed, folks, about the warning Jewell posted. Of course, I do not take ANY
drugs, and would ONLY do so in the event of an extreme, life-threatening
emergency situation, such as a clotbuster for a stroke, or some such thing.

According to what I have read, less than 10% of ALL NEWLY APPROVED DRUGS are
still on the market just FIVE YEARS LATER. WHY? Because they killed, maimed,
injured, or incapacitated too many people.
