Thanks Suzy,
 Probably after 6 or 7 thousand people die from it the FDA will consider 
removing it from the market.  As I understand from Gaston, its pretty expensive 
... therefore it is going to be prescribed often and regardless of 
consequences.  Typical!  Stay in the info loop, darlin' -- We need you and 
others like you!

  Hi Robert.  Have had contact with several people who have had some problems 
  with Avandia.  One lady (a nurse) believes Avandia may have caused several 
  episodes of congestive heart failure.  We found some good research here   
  Drug-Induced Lung Diseases  .  She is no longer taking it.

    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
