My wife has diabetes type 11 and she is taking a few pills per day including a new one "Avandia" which is expensive. It has helped a little bit, but his diabetes is still too high. My wife is not on CS at this time and I do not recall many people claiming that it had helped reducing diabetes. How much CS is your wife taking per day pls and how long on CS so far pls? Is she continuing taking pills (if she was taking some) pls ? Is she doing anything else special to reduce diabetes, other than cutting of dairy products ? You said that her diabetes seems to be reversing, by how many points did it come down so far pls ? Thanks and best regards, Gaston Hi Gaston Since diabetes, like any other disease, stresses and weakens the natural body systems, I immediately took the following steps to provide some extra protection. 1. Put my wife on 2 oz. of colloidal silver daily. One ounce at breakfast and one ounce at bedtime. The purpose of this is to maintain a constant body level of CS as a sort of back-up system to the immune system. Colloidal silver only stays in the body's system about 4 days as it is gradually used and flushed out. Regular daily doses maintains a constant level and presence and helps take some of the pressure off the immune system in its constant combat with virus and bacteria and yeast and parasites. 2. I purchased the one-a-day type multiple vitamin and mineral tablets from Walmart and give her 2 a day - double the amount. She doesn't eat much..... is pickie .... so it's necessary. I'm aware that the "enteric coating" on the outside of the tablets is way too heavy, preventing proper absorption (sometimes no absorption at all - and the whole tablet just passes thru without any beneficial effect). So I cut the tablets in half with a pill cutter that I got at Walmart and she gets 1/2 a tablet 4 times a day. (breakfast - lunch- supper-bedtime) 3. She gets a 1000 mg. capsule of MSM at bedtime. She gets a capsule of Echinacea at Lunch She gets a capsule of Ginko Biloba at supper She get a capsule of natural vitamin E at breakfast 4. Her prescriptions call for 5 mg Gliburide 4 times a day for a total of 20 milligrams. When she was first diagnosed her blood sugar levels were in the 250 range. She started off with 5 mg and at every subsequent visit the doctor increased the dose by 5 mg more until she was up to 20 mg per day. At that level her blood sugar count came down and fluctuated in the range of 90-210 which was a lot better but still not where we wanted it. Her other presciption is for Prinivil, 2.5 mg once a day to help protect the liver. This regimen went on for about 4 months until I discovered the information you will find on the website http://www.notmilk.com . At this point out went the milk, butter, all cheese, sour cream, dairy products of all kinds including the powdered coffee creamer (casin - a milk by-product). Also anything with aspertame in it (nutrasweet) like diet pop. The improvements started almost immediately and gradually the fluctuations in the blood sugar started to be less and less. After 6 weeks they started trending lower. When they were consistently under 150, I reduced her Glliburide to 3 tablets a day. When it got consistently under 140, I reduced her gliburide to 2 a day, which is where she is right now. However, I can add that we are getting a lot more readings in the 40's and 50's right now, and that never happened while she was taking dairy products. I can only assume that she is starting to produce some insulin on her own now, which is why I said that it appears to be reversing. Needless to say, the doctor isn't aware of any of this (HMO indifference) but some common sense observations, frequent testing and gradual adjustment of the prescription dose has brought us to this point with some hope for further future improvement. I hope this is something that will benefit you. Regards, Robert Bartell -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
