I haven’t seen any type 1’s myself, but the anti-aging specialists in
their seminars indicate that the islet cells can be regenerated by
patients who increase their growth hormone levels for awhile.
Something else can do that as well; the herb Gymnema Sylvestris which
also increases cellular insulin sensitivity.

Put another way, if it’s possible to heal and normalize, the body tends
to try and do that.

Here’s some clinical data that is relevant:

CONCLUSIONS-The insulin secretory capacity in long-term type 2 diabetic
patients is substantially underestimated, as the insulin response
following carbohydrate intake can be nearly tripled by coingestion of a
free amino acid/protein mixture. Future research should be performed to
investigate whether such nutritional interventions can improve
postprandial glucose disposal.

On Inulin, the ‘native’ inulin from any source only becomes a problem if
you can’t tolerate the 6% to 10% digestible sugar, or if the incorrect
bowel ecology you may be trying to get rid of can use the sugars and
indigestible short-chain FOS.

If either of those are the case, as in candida and other bowel infection,
and you be the judge on your sugar levels, you’d have to use a specially-
refined long-chain inulin that has had the FOS and the sugars removed.
That Inulin supports ONLY the correct bowel bacteria and that’s why we
must have retail access to this valuable supplement.

The thing to do is try ‘native’ artichoke dahlia or chicory inulin and
see how you do on it. The research is there to support its use even as
‘native’ inulin. Chicory Inulin is usually cheaper than artichoke inulin.

To extract the Inulin all you have to do is shred and boil the roots. The
inulin will then be in the water.
