Re: Digest Number 894
Great news, Pam.
Has anyone had success w/long term diabetes????
I was dx’d 13 years ago. On glucophage, diabeta, advantia, as well as drugs for
high blood pressure and heart (conjestive heart failure).
I’m lowering my carbs, as, even w/all those meds, my sugars were running in the
300’s. Now, w/lower carbs, I get lower numbers
I’m obese and 51 yrs old.
So, is there any knowledge of how what Pam is having success with, would work on
long term diabetes? Or can the pancreas be too far gone?

I and four other diabetics have indulged ourselves in
a research project of our own…..
We were our own guinea pigs and amazing results….
If you eat high carb diet, ie grains, rice corn etc..
and then tried to lower our BSL , all five os us found
that it takes on average twice as long to lower the
BSL vs when we dont eat any carbs….
I have a no carb diet , that is, no grains of any
sort, no rice no corn and nothing from the spud
family…..If I get a spike in the BSL (from fruit or
something else) usually within 24 hours my sugar gets
into a normal range,,,,However if I eat grains etc it
could take me as much as four days to get it into a
livable range, the other four guys experienced the
same type of results….
three of us use natural means to lower our BSL while
the other two use their meds, both the meds and
natural means experience the same time periods for
lowering the BSL
I Hope our attempt at research will spark some ideas
into some of you…

Conjestive heart failure, particularly left ventricle output is improved
ith HGH. Also, obesity is reduced. Blood pressure also responds to HGH
increase normally done without HGH shots, but with amino acids. The
science of that is on a friend’s web site. The anti-aging specialists
maintain that some of the islet cells can be regrown in the presence of
elevated HGH.
Blood pressure and circulation responds well to NitrO FX, a concentrated
Noni extract that works on the same principle as Viagra, a nitric oxide
increaser. The science of that is on my web site. Of interest is that it
may also increase blood flow to occluded arteries in the legs, heart
etc…
Blood sugar, insulin and VLDL cholesterol respond to reduced sugar and
starch, and increased inulin, the most common natural carb after starch.
The science of that is also on my web site.
Contact me or check my profile for the link and further information. It’s
heavy reading but the science is all there.

Probably the greatest natural remedy for circulation,
especially for legs and eyes is the herb "BUTCHER’S
BROOM" it is far greater item than noni….If you have
problems in this area May i suggest you research this
Herb….

Noni extract is a hands-down favorite for the breadth of support it gives
the body; the researchers who discovered that nitric oxide was used in
hundreds of essential ractions in the body won a Nobel Prize for their
work in 1998.
This would be a favoured herb for heart and kidney problems, lung
restrictions, and blood pressure for example, and for general health
improvement.
On the other hand butcher’s broom (root) extract does work to improve
circulation especially in the lower limbs. Paradoxically though, in a
quote from Altern Med Rev. 2001 Dec;6(6):608-12. "Animal and in vitro
studies show butcher’s broom to have a vasoconstrictive effect. The
mechanism of this effect remains somewhat unclear."
I’ll keep it in mind for people who have varicose veins.

I’ll stick with my first hand knowledge, you can have
the noni i’ll take the butcher’s broom and so will
approximately 20 other diabetics who have used both
(all where type II) and all showed improviement
within a week of it’s use, about half of us showed an
improvement in our BSL as for the juice all of us
experienced significant spikes in our BSL, thus the
juice is not for diabetics…
Cheers

PS…as for Alt Med web site, they are good, but at
times they put blinkers on and cant see anything else
other than what they forcus on…

Hi Jewell;
Without making a medical claim such as "cures this ailment" for a
herbal extract, which of course one can not do, if you saw some of
the research on Noni you’d have the answer. What can be said is that
according to the available research, Noni substantially increases
nitric oxide. This is what I told you. The references also indicate
the breadth of traditional remedies that use Noni.
One can also say that many ailments are linked to reduced production
or depletion of nitric oxide. When you look up the research for
nitric oxide you can find all the specific medical references with
regard to what it does.
And one can also say that Viagra, an FDA approved drug, works by
preventing an enzyme from breaking down nitric oxide. And two new
drugs that work by the same principle are going to give Viagra a run
probably in the next short while.
So in this case it’s not a far cry at all, it’s simply a matter of
connecting the dots. In this case there are only two dots, those
being rising nitric oxide, and what a rise in nitric oxide has been
proven to do. And this is all part of the research.
Don’t forget, most drugs are attempts at copying or refining
naturally-occurring molecules.
