My friend recommended this organic food to my husband saying that It can cure my husband's diabetes?

Question

My friend recommended this organic food to my husband saying that It can cure my husband's diabetes . and we don't have to pay him if it doesn't work. But my hubby have to fast for 3 days. Do you think he should try it? I worry that the dieting part might affect him adversely

Answer 1

I do not know about fasting with diabetes, could throw blood sugar way out of whack, there are ways to put diabetes into full remission, I know because I helped my brother do just this. His sugars are fully stable and normal.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

I woudn't trust it. As far as I know, no one knows of any way to cure diabetes, only make it a bit less harmful and annoying (and even that depends on what kind of diabetes a person has). I most especially wouldn't trust the fasting for three days part; if you want to try the stuff, have him switch to the new diet immediately, don't keep him off food for three days before switching.

Also, it would be helpful if you could get an explanation from this friend as to HOW this system works.

Answer 4

I wouldn't. I've done a lot of research on this subject. Here's what I've found and you don't have to fast:

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I‘ve listed below… they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

Answer 5

There is no cure for Diabetes at this time. Your friend's "remedy" may indeed help with the symptoms but I would be extremely skeptical of someone offering a cure. You also said that "you don't have to pay him if it doesn't work". So is the guy willing to wait for say, 10-15 years of low (non diabetic) A1C test numbers? Probably not. To me that would be the only way I would be convinced I was "cured".
I would also be skeptical of someone you think is your "friend" that is willing to put your husbands life at risk.

Answer 6

You can't fast when you have diabetes! And nothing will "cure" it, it will just help with symptoms.

Its a problem with your pancreas, not something that you can cure! I can't believe your hubby has this and you seem like you don't know too much about it.

Be careful... Ask your doc for a final answer...

Answer 8

I'm not religious, but I do have heavy sociological / anthropological background. If you feel the need to "fear" your God, then it's because you feel guilty for something, or you want to feel victimized. Most folks don't fear their God. They love their God. God is like the ultimate leader. As Machiavelli said, a good leader must be both loved and feared. If he is just loved, then people will still do what they want against his wishes at times. If he is just feared, then they won't love their own lives, only doing what he wants out of fear of ramifications. If they love and fear him, then they will do what he wants out of love and respect first, and out of fear second. Let me try to use a different analogy for God... God, in most peoples' eyes, is like a good parent. A good parent uses 2 parts love and 1 part discipline to ensure people lead a good life. 1 part love is unconditional. God loves you unconditionally, because you are his creation. (Just as a parent loves their child unconditionally). 1 part love is for positive reinforcement. God shows you love to reward your good behavior. This is what most folks call "blessings", "miracles", etc. Parents do the same with them children; give them hugs when they succeed. 1 part discipline is used for negative reinforcement. God punishes people when they've been bad. Parents do the same to children. Now, most people will follow a Godly life simply because they respect and love God due to 1 part unconditional love, and 1 part positive reinforcement. If that doesn't work then they fear the 1 part discipline. However, what's "blessing" and "punishment" from God is subjective. Different religions, and even individuals, may see something as a blessing while others see it as a curse. Everyone can see whatever they want into something. When a mother hugs a child, it's pretty tangible that it's a hug. But, when a person finds $5 on the street is that a blessing? What if it just enables them to do something bad? I think the better way to look at God is that he gives people chances. The $5 is an opportunity. How the person chooses to use that opportunity dictates whether it's a "blessing" or "curse".

Answer 9

There is no cure (yet) for diabetes. It's not worth endangering your husband's health.

Answer 10

Yes you should try it. My uncle had tried it before. It worked. He tried nutrilite supplements. It definitely kept his glucose normal even without taking the doctor's medication. He had been taking doctor's medication for 14 years without any signs of improvement. In fact the doctor kept increasing his dosage, till one day the doctor told him he had to be taking insulin injections, together with medication. He decided to try alternative treatment because he hates jabs. After taking the supplements, he stopped taking all of the doctor's medication. But he still goes for his monthly check-ups. It's been 2 years. He's still maintains a normal glucose level. The doctor recommended that he continue taking his supplements as it obviously worked better than medicine.
