Q: Is there a natural diabetes treatment?
My mom’s recently have diabetes. I would like to know if we can avoid drugs and just stick with anything herbal or natural?

A: Some diabetics are able to control their disease with diet and exercise and losing weight. Most, however, do need drugs.

Herbs ARE drugs. The thing about herbs is that you will never know just how much of the active ingredient you get when you take herbs, as it will vary according to how the plant was raised. At any rate, while some herbs and spices have shown some promise, for the most part, they only SLIGHTLY decrease blood sugar, if they’re effective at all. And a slight decrease is not enough to avoid organ damage.

Anyone who tells you any differently will usually have some of this magic herb or treatment to sell you.

You might have heard that cinnamon helps diabetes. There was ONE study that showed that it lowered blood sugar. Subsequent studies didn’t show that result, so don’t count on cinnamon to treat diabetes.

Q: Is there a natural treatment for diabetes?
My dad has diabetes but he doesn’t like taking his pills (lysinopril) and he wants to find a natural alternative.

A: This is not something you mess around with easily, and make sure your doctor knows what you are doing, however that being said you can try:

Chromium Picolinate
Fish Oil
and some whole food products that have an effect on diabetes and insulin resistance like Acai Berries

Eat:

7 to 8lots of fresh vegetables,
4 to 6 servings of good quality protein (whey concentrate, meats, cheese, soft cheese, eggs etc.),
3 to 4 servings of oils (olive, grapeseed, coconut),
3 to 4 servings of fruits,
1 to 2 servings of wholegrains
IN THAT ORDER OF IMPORTANCE PER DAY

and NO white stuff at all!

White stuff? anything made of white flour, or white rice, sugar, pasta, etc..

and last but by no means least: Exercise daily for at least 30 mintues (walk, swim, use a vibration platform, join a fitness center, move your body, etc..

This is just information not advice so please let your doctor know what you are doing, so that he can monitor the insulin levels carefully.

Q: Natural remedies for diabetes?
Has anyone stopped their diabetes drugs and started on natural treatment
like apple cider vinegar or cinnamon or anything else natural? Please say how long
you have had diabetes, what drugs you were on, for how long? when did you give up
and how long are you on the natural remedy, what are you taking and how do you feel now?
hi 20/20 i have written u an email, pls tell me all u can ..whatever will help me. thanks.

A: Sorry, JC, but 20/20 is selling you a pig in a poke (look it up here if you don’t understand what I mean by that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_in_a_poke ).

There are NO herbs and supplements that cure diabetes.
If you are a type 1, then you will always need to receive insulin. Always.
If you are a type 2, then major lifestyle changes, which should include better nutrition, can reduce the symptoms the the point where you no longer show any indication of having diabetes. However – that situation only lasts as long as you maintain those changes. Even with dedication to more exercise and careful diet, many type 2s eventually end up on pills or insulin.

If you are presently eating a totally cr@p diet, then better nutrition will help a lot, but no amount of supplements will provide a cure for diabetes.

The current medical treatments allow diabetics to live a long and normal life, if they are careful about following that treatment and monitoring their condition.

Herbal supplements encourage people to think that all they have to do is to take those capsules and they can forget about anything else – like exercise and measuring their blood sugars. That is a sure way to end up in the the hospital emergency department.

Q: What is the natural cure for Diabetes and Multiple sclerosis?
You always hear about natural cures for diseases, but you never hear of what they are or even the treatments. I’ve heard there is a natural cure for Herpes, diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, and hypertension, but no one ever seems to know what they are, or where they can be found. I have even read that book ‘Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About’ by Kevin Trudeau and he just beats around the bush. Is there anyone out there with solid evidence and answers?

A: I am sure that if there was solid evidence backed by real proof of natural cures for diseases that _many_ healthcare professionals would be talking about them, they would be in respected journals, even the so-called ‘evil’ pharmaceutical companies would be manufacturing ‘enhanced’, ’safer’, ‘more effective’ natural cures. Just look at all the various companies that make different kinds of Vitamin C, Rosehips, Iron pills, and the like for your local grocery store.

IMHO, I think you’re best bet is to work with a professional doctor.

===============
Be cautious when referencing Kevin Trudeau’s “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About.” Do a little reading on this guy, then decide for yourself. Personally, I think he’s a huckster out to make a buck using ridiculous claims backed by pseudo-science and possibly outright untruths .. but that’s just my opinion .. and some other people like doctors, respected journalists, etc.

Q: i have pcos and want to get pregnant but i dont have health insurance is there a natural treatment?
i am over weight and went undiagnosed for at least 2 years i was on metformin, but it made me sick so i stopped taking it then i lost my health insurance. i have a family history of diabetes, colon cancer, and heart disease. i am very active but never seem to loose any weight. i want to be healthier and get better but i dont know how to make this happen.. i want to have children in the next 2 yrs. and i am not sure if that is possible. if i could find a natural treatment to help me that’d be great, but if not i’d like to know the best way to treat pcos……please help

A: Dont listen to these people about being overweight, obviously they are ignorant. Yes, it is ideal you be at a healthy weight before getting pregnant, but it is not a priority.

And yes, doctors will help you if you are overweight. They might give you shit about it, but they will help you as long as you are healthy (IE: blood pressure, blood sugar, thyroid, etc…)

I have read that a diet like atkins or south beach (not for the purpose of losing weight, but to get your pcos under control) is the best way to treat pcos. It helps get your sugar under control. You could also try vitex or fertility blend. You could just go to your obgyn and see if he will prescribe you clomid, that seems to work for alot of women.

I dont have insurance either, and am paying everything out of pocket. Depending on the Dr., office visits run between 50-100 and 1 cycle of clomid is about 50 dollars, depending on the dosage. If you dont have that much to spend, and you dont have insurance, then mabey you should wait until you are financially stable to start trying. It has nothing to do with your weight.

Q: What is the best treatment of blurring of vision. I suspect diabetes.?
What is the best treatment of blurring of vision in a natural way or by healthy foods which i suspect maybe of diabetes. Because my parents are diabetics.

A: See your doctor for blood testing. You need to have the HbA1c and a few other tests run to make sure what is the problem.

My opthamologist will not prescribe me new glasses Rx without knowing that I have gained and maintain control of my glucose levels. He says it is a waste of his resources and my money.

Q: Is there a natural treatment for diabetic nerve pain?
My husband has diabetes and he’s been experiencing pain and burning in his legs. The pain is debilitating at times. He’s told his doctor, but the ultrasound shows that his circulation is in the normal range.

Would too much sugar in his diet trigger the pain, or is this a cumulative effect of too much sugar too long? (He just told me he’s been eating bags of jelly beans at work when he gets stressed. It’s not enough that his blood sugar levels are spiking and his A1C’s are good – 5.6 to 5.9.)

Is there anything natural he could do to deal with this? I know there are drugs, but the side-effects are pretty scary. He currently takes Glucophage and blood pressure meds.

A: Have a look at this link, It might help.

Anyways, I believe in the power of prayer, I am praying for your husband’s complete recovery, God bless!

Salacia Oblongata is a herb used in Indian medicine to treat diabetes, and is recently the hot “natural” treatment for diabetes. But I find no information on the actual plant anywhere, it just appears in capsule form. I want to know if it is a tree or a bush or flower or seed or bark, etc. Who grows or harvests it and where is it obtained.

Q: Any natural, holistic, herbal or alternative treatments/supplements for rheumatoid arthritis w/diabetes?
For a young (34), athletic man who is also diabetic.

A: Have you been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis? Diabetes mimics some of the same symptoms. Anything that regulates blood sugar. Cactus is a good way. There are other dietary measures as well.

Q: Does anyone know any kind of pain treatment for Diabetic nerve damage that is natural or herbal?
My mother is 63 years old and has Congestive Heart Failure, Diabetes, Shingles, Gout, Edema, and Lung Disease. Over the past 14 months she has injured the bottom of her feet , the first injury occur ed when she stepped on an ice cube that was on the kitchen floor. She didn’t slip and she did not fall but the pain that was to come for the next 2 weeks was most excruciating and almost unbearable at times! She could not walk on either foot or bear any weight on them, it was really unbelievable the pain in both feet from so little trauma to the one foot!! About 8 days ago she stepped on a little bitty piece of macaroni on the kitchen floor and has been writhing in pain and unable to walk ever since!! She has been taking Ati van and Tram dole for the pain but its pretty much not doing anything. What Im wondering is if there is any Herbal or natural products to help ease this type of pain??

A: Capcasin Cremes.

These are available Over The Counter at most pharmacies.

Capcasin is the chemical in jalapenos that makes them “hot”. But when rubbed on the hands and feet, it deadens the pain.

But the BEST remedy is to KEEP the blood sugars in the normal range. When the blood sugars are kept in the normal range for long periods of time, the symptoms of diabetes, including the nerve pain, will reduce.

Q: in 55 years as GP never ever seen viral fevers with huge joint swellin severe pain. explain? treatment please?
# i am 80, 165 cm/69kg, male, dark, india,have periarthritis of rt knee for 6 months controlled by natural self treatment w/o steroids/NSAIDS.no BP nor diabetes nor obese. 5july i had sever viral fever that is sweeping the country/world ,no joint involv. #now suddenly 16july the rt knee hurt and threw me on to bed. each and evry major and minor joint mucle ligament hurt and body literally stiff. some fever.. cos of the throbbing pain and local swelling more than other swellings i diag as septic arthritis with toxemia, and put my self on heavy amoxy 4000 mg/day, andjust 2 darvon proxyvon/d. 21 mornig i am limping out of bed, excruciating pain better.i never evr believced in NSAID except strong Aspririn and weak Paracetamol# i did not go visit my doctor friends cos of the endless tests they rightly need, coundnt get out of bed, their doses are too low, they will ask for admission. # any medical or non med person actually suffered from this pl reply .

A: Get the tests run. Medical professionals are the worst at seeking medical attention because they feel they can treat themselves, or know what to do when a crisis arrives. Suck up your pride and do what it takes to find out what’s wrong.
