New To Site and a Few Questions

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Suz!

I too have diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, but have been steadily imporving

my health.

 

herbs for your heart include:

garlic (as much as you can take, raw, in salads, I chop it up fine, and

swallow a bit on a teaspoon with tomato juice or broth, or blenderize it into

tomato juice)

hot peppers, doesn't matter if cooked or raw. Blenderize in tomato juice,

eat salsa, use tobasco sauce liberally, it gets your circulation moving.

hawthorne berries..good caridac tonic

CoQ10 and B vitamins, and potassium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc are all

important for your heart

 

herbs for diabetes include gymnema sylvestre, cinnamon, bitter melon, stevia.

 

Stevia is also a sugar free sweetner.

 

Also, I don't know how your diet is, but breads, potatoes, and many

carbohydrates are high on the glycemic index, raise insulin levels. Try the

" white " diet...no white sugar, no white milk (not even chocolate...it starts out

as white milk), no mayonaisse, no white flour or anything made from it, no white

rice, no white potatoes, etc. Just lots of veggies and some fruits. Raw is

best, or lightly steamed. Cut back on meat.

 

Take milk thistle and/or schisandra berries for your liver. The liver is the

filter for the body. If it isn't healthy, neither are you.

 

I am still trying various nervines for peripheral neuropathy. hops,

passionflower, valerian, kava kava, st john's wort, lobelia. I have some good

days, and some bad days, where the pain is so terrible, I can't walk.

 

hope this helps. you can email me privately if you wish.

Hi everyone

 

Let me first introduce myself, my name is suz and im 45 and in

serious jepordy of my health. Im now classified as pallitive care and

i need some help to get off these pills and to start healing

properly. That is the first reason why i started reading on herbs and

aromatherapy. But now its moreso that i enjoy it. But im still

looking for the miracle cure. Which i know is impossible. I have a

serious heart condition with diabeties, hardening of the ateries,

Ischemic, congestive heart failure, nureopathy and that is just a

few. I know that some of the herbs can help me i know they can. Just

as some of the oils have done already. But how do you convince a dr

who is just as scared as i am to let me try doing this. The only

thing i can think of to do is stop seeing him and just do it totally

on my own. I am asking for your opinions and also your help to maybe

making some tinctures or salves and such to start the healing process

for me, i know it is going to be hard and a long time coming before i

will notice a difference. I take insulin whenever and that usually

now is never. But i see that some herbs will keep my sugars down. I

dont understand how sugars can be up in the 30's when u dont consume

enuf for a bird. But they are, they say im a uncontrollable diabetic.

Geesh lol what else is new. So please tell me your opinions and where

to start. I guess to start would be to clean everything out and get

off all these pills slowly at a time. The first that would go would

be the morphine i guess. Would you say not and what herb would i take

in its place ginsing, cayenne, i cant think of the others right now.

Ill go now and will stop babbling, thankyou and take care. God bless.

Hi Suz, and welcome.

 

I too have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and high blood pressure. For the

diabetes, you can take gymnema sylvestre. You can buy it by the pound at

www.herbalcom.com

 

They say cinnamon helps lower blood sugar. 1/2 to 1 tsp a day. Add it to herbal

tea.

 

Bitter melon (fu gua) is good for diabetes, but sometimes hard to find. Some

oriental food markets carry it. If you can, order some seeds and grow it

yourself.

 

Also, eat foods low on the glycemic index. White bread, potatoes, etc. raise

blood glucose levels just as rapidly as sugar can. Try the " white diet " NO

white bread, No white rice, No white potatoes, No mayonaise, No popcorn or corn,

Nothing made from white refined flour, no noodles, no sugar, all these things

are high on the glycemic index.

 

Eat small meals (preferably raw veggies and fruits) during the day to keep blood

sugar levels constant, no ups and downs.

 

I don't have any cures for the neuropathy. I've been told that turmeric helps

to re-myelinate the nerve sheaths, and I have started taking it, but have seen

no change yet.

 

For your heart, hawthorne berries, cayenne, and garlic. Lots of it..raw. I

blenderize garlic and hot pepper(s) with tomato juice with a dash of

worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. (a small onion or some onion powder is

good in it too. I also add the turmeric to this " coctail " ) Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup

of water to it to thin it down, as the garlic and peppers make it thick.

 

Hope this helps a bit,

I have heard that Omega oils do this, too.
