Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I have a lot of info stored on my computer at home, (after I was diagnosed, I did a LOT of herbal research) but my internet is down... If you would like me to dig some of it out for you, let me know and give me a few days (Hughes says it will be 3-5 business days til they can get a tech out to check my satelite dish) to get back to you... Dr Michael Murray has a great book " How to Prevent and Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine " Very in-depth, I have a copy and I highly recommend it. http://www.iherb.com/store/ProductDetails.aspx?c=Herbs & pid=BKS-48038 Cynthia , hepaction wrote: > > > > In a message dated 09/10/2006 17:15:57 GMT Daylight Time, > cindyvdz writes: > > I was on Metformin for 3 days, then I started throwing up...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 The more I hear about Metformin side effects the more I think I may be better off with the alternatives. Hi all I have been diabetic for several years and taking metformin. My liver tests were getting worse and worse, my doctor sent me to a gastro doctor who took me off the metformin instantly and put me on insulin only. He says its very damaging. My liver tests have returned to almost normal, I am feeling much better and my doctor is happy. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I much to use supplements and diet over either diabetic meds or insulin. My goal is to reverse my diabetic condition and the allopathic approach can't do that. > > Alobar > > On 10/10/06, Donna Magee <hotflash wrote: > > > > > > The more I hear about Metformin side effects the more I think I may be > > better off with the alternatives. > > > > > > Hi all > > I have been diabetic for several years and taking metformin.
