Agave Nectar Exposed

[Guest guest]

They'll wipe the majestic Blue Agave right

off the face off the earth!!!

Consumers need to support their local bee keeper and not destroy their

health with HFS.

If you use Agave Nectar, I suggest you read the

article Anella posted.

 

Thanks Anella for bringing this to our attention.

Yes, well the Pasta and

the sweet tooth have to go. It really is a question of changing your

habits here.

A change of lifestyle. You both need to adopt the viewpoint of, "I'm

not a 'Sweets Eater". I'm not a Carboholic."

The both of you are suffering from self inflicted wounds here, and just

need to decide to "make the change".

And the change HAS to be permanent. The number of people who've gone

on diets, lost the necessary weight and then immediately put it back on

once the diet was over is in the millions.

People just don't get it, and never ask themselves "How did I get into

this condition in the first place?".

One has to look at Cause and Effect. You're either the boss, or your

body is. Regardless, the choice is yours.

I do use Astragalus and a few others to help control my blood

sugar levels. Both my Steve and I are diabetic. I control it mainly

with diet and exercise and the help of some herbs. Steve on the other

hand is insulin dependant at this point, he has a wicked sweet tooth,

he will use stevia at times but is more honey or sugar. I'm liking that

it helps remove the want of sugar as much as the help with diabeties.

I'm slowly getting him to eat better, working my way to an all organic

diet (lost my job recently now bringing my business up a notch, so

money is so tight, it's not affordable for a family of four). We are

growing our own gardens this year. Herbs and veggies. Another month we

will be spending some weekends until farmers markets begin in the blue

hills of mass and see what we can recognize and hopefully wildcraft.

Must say the step-kids are not liking not having so many "treats" in

the house! Oh well, side effect is the very overweight 13yo is no

longer so overweight and has even started going outside for walks

several times a week! LOL

This week I've challanged Steve to not eating sweets or pasta's

or even bread this week! Pasta is my weakness! Though lately I've been

using Enoki mushrooms as my "pasta".

I've had no

personal experience with it, but I've heard some good stories about

it. I'd say it was definitely worth checking out, and perhaps some of

our "Eastern" Friends on Herbal Remedies would have more data on it,

and be willing to share their knowledge of it.

 

However, my personal favorite Eastern Herb that I DO know a lot about,

for balancing Blood Sugar Levels is "Astragalus" which also balances

Metabolism, Hormone levels and builds up, and fortifies the Immune

system.

 

This is why I put Astragalus into my Total Nutrition Formula. It is

that potent of an herb. I also believe this is why neither I nor

Valorie have had a cold or flu in over a dozen years.

Doc,

Have you had any experience with Gymnema sylverstre? It's

supposed to help with diabeties (type 1 and 2) and is called "sugar

buster"? Supposedly if you drink this tea you don't want the sugar

afterward or something like that.

I've just started learning about this the last few days, I'm

curious to find out more about it.

Just recently found out

that Whole Foods is owned by Corporate America = The Duponts, etc. 

This company has more than compromised with its integrity.

Once I find the Whole foods around here (still learning the area)

I know it's in Weymouth. I'll have to check it out. Would like to find

the herb itself though.

Hi Pam,  I have been taken gynema sylvestre for a few

months now.  I even found it in organic form from Whole Foods.  It

comes in caplets.  They dont smell too good though.  This one is from

the Himalayas.  Though I am skeptic of its  possible heavy metal

contamination as  we have been warned of these aryuvedic herbs.    I am

a type 1 and so far my craving for sugar has decreased substantially. 

I am also feeling that I need to take less insulin for the carbs I am

eating. THough at times  I am having trouble with highs.  I have read

possitive studies about this herb helping type 1 diabetics handle

this.   I may have to take this herb for a few more months and see if

this really works or not.  

 

Doc, I can send you some information via the mail about

this herb if you like.  This may be something you can think about

carrying.

Those

measurements are way too high.

I'd use no more than a teaspoon in a cup of hot tea with some lemon,

and no more than once a day, when taking it internally.  Externally on

a wound, use as much as you'd like. 

We need to get into the habit of not cooking or preparing food with

sugar or honey or any sweetener at all. 

Again, only use Stevia as your sweetener.  Best is to get rid of your

sweet tooth altogether, and just don't succumb to your body's demands

for "sweet". 

Love,

Doc

Doc,

 

What is the measure of your "small quantity" of honey? Like in a cup of

beverage, is one teaspoon too much? Is a half cup a lot too when used

in baking bread?

 

Thanks.
