Thanks KiwiSoul, it was exactly this study that got me thinking. Cheers!

I don't know if you'll see this or not since this thread is now old. I looked into this further after watching the full video of it and came away with alot of knowledge and desire to know even more. I showed it to my close family as well, because like I've said before while this disease impacts greatest on the one who lives with it.... it's a disease that impacts the whole family as well.

I am such a meat and potatoes kind of woman... this will be very hard for me to implement I'm sure..... but I have several family members who are now interested in trying this out with me. They do this because they love me...and because I love them, I'm willing to try it.

You were correct in that it is very moving and it's amazing just looking at their physical appearance before and after how much more healthy they all looked!!

So thank you again for posting the information!

Glad to see you found the thread and that you found it of value... that's the important thing to me. I hear you about eliminating the SHTF stuff as a lot of people are resistant to that way of thinking and the idea is to get folks thinking in terms of alternatives should the supply become non-existant or unstable and not necessarily the reasons for it becoming such.!! Thanks again for commenting!

I don't know if anyone but me is still monitoring this thread or not but I thought it would not hurt to throw this in here, what with the fears over radiation and the usage of KI (Potassium Iodide).

Realtruth has started this thread on the use of KI (they beat me to it actually, I've been working to get info together for days now) and I have posted in their thread as it would pertain to someone with diabetes. I well say again that I am in no way a Dr...but would advise everyone who reads this that has a pre-existing condition of any kind to get educated prior to ingesting any suppliment. My posting in their thread appears about half way down the first page of their thread.

Hi there! I'm glad that it was of some use. I'm glad that people are still finding this thread and passing along info in it as there were fantastic posts put up by folks. Just as an aside I will say that the use of Jerusalem Artichoke, for me, has shown amazing results. Again, I thank Asktheanimals for that information because it's such a relief to know that even if the herbal suppliment concoction is no longer available I'll be able to still get what I need from right outside my door.

Also, if you are interested in some great information on plants with various medicinal usages Asktheanimals has a couple of great threads up on this.

For those type 2s that can not use Metformin and/or Glipizide there is a non diabetes drug that does drop your blood sugar levels.

Its a anti inflammatory drug called Salsalate.
www.annals.org...

I was on Metformin and my doctor had added Glipizide plus had put me on Salsalate for inflammation from my Sarcoidosis and every time i took the salsalate i went hypoglycemia but when i did not take the Salsalate my blood sugar would run around 100-120

I have a brother in law that is allergic to Metformin and after i told him his doctor let him try Salsalate with Glipizide and he is now under control.

This is a surprise to many doctors that have never heard of the blood sugar effects of Salsalate
