Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 *** I've been reading about fenugreek and diabetes. What is everyone's take on this? There is much information about how it lowers blood sugars.Pam *** Hi Pam, I have a dear friend who had diabetes and is now healed. She used to weigh 365 lbs. She is 6'4" tall. She was near death. Through changing her life style to all organic and losing 130+ lbs. she has completely healed her body. She is living proof that a person can be their own healer. I have experienced similar health recovery from many different issues. I hope to continue enjoying good health. Here is something I have in my files that you might find helpful. I wish you all the best. Love and many blessings. Micki ____________________________ Herbs, Nutritional Supplements and Vitamins for diabetes 2Chromium – Chromium is an essential trace mineral. It plays a major role in sugar metabolism. There is a growing body of evidence that shows that chromium may help bring blood sugar levels under control in type 2 diabetes. A typical dose of chromium for diabetes is 200 to 400 mcg per day.Fenugreek – Fenugreek is a spice commonly used in India and the Middle East in cooking. Numerous studies suggest that fenugreek can reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels in people with diabetes. Fenugreek seeds can have a bitter taste, so people sometimes prefer to take it in capsule form. A typical dose range is 5 to 30 g three times per day with meals. Known side effects of high doses include mild digestive distress. Fenugreek should not be used by pregnant or nursing women.Gymnema – Gymnema is an Ayurvedic herb that is believed to have a marked effect on blood sugar control. Doctors often prescribe gymnema for mild cases of type 2 diabetes, in conjunction with standard treatments. A typical dose range is 400 to 600 mg per day of an extract standardized to contain 24% gymnemic acids. Vanadium – Vanadium is an essential trace mineral that may mimic insulin to help regulate blood sugar. It is found in black pepper, dill seed, and unsaturated vegetable oil, as well as in vitamin supplements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I would try Benfotiamine. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2007/jan2007_report_benfotiamine_01.htm Its a fat-soluble version of thiamine (vitamin B1). It turns out that diabetics (type 1 and 2) lose thiamin 15 times or so faster than non-diabetics. Since Benfotiamine is fat-soluble, and not water soluble,it may not be lost as quickly and it is supposed to penetrate the tissues better to prevent/reverse neuropathy and other damages from diabetes. I shipped some to my mother-in-law who lives overseas who has Type 1 diabetes for over 20 years now. Hopefully they will get there safely and she can start taking them. I am not sure if you can find it in health food stores. Two online sources that I know of are: Vitacost: http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Benfotiamine Life Extension: http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00920.html?source=mag0107 Let us know how it goes. , " singhmahendrain " <singhmahendrain wrote: > > Dear , I need medicine for above and peripheral neuropathy.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I also recommend reading " The Schwarzbein Principle...The Truth About Losing Weight, Being Healthy and Feeling Younger " by Diana Schwarzbein, MD and Nancy Deville. This books give excellent explanations for how our bodies work, how our diets affect our hormones, how hormones affect everything, and simple explanations of how to remedy the problem. Her first foray into NOT following the route she was trained to follow was with her diabetic patients. oleander soup , " Wani " <jocanas wrote: > > You can get rid of the diabetes naturally.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Tracy, Read up also on Fenugreek for diabetes. Whenever i eat food that i know will spike up my blood sugar, i take a tea with fenugreek and cinnamon in it. It prevents the sugar from going up a lot.
