Hi Robert,
Interesting about your wife, hope it continues. 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
