Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 > > Hi Bee, > > My friend that has the Hep C and type II diabetes says that a couple of years ago she had tried using cinnamon but had insignificant results lowering her sugar level. She has begun using it now and is having tremendous results. We were wondering what might be the difference. Back then she used cheap cinnamon from the dollar store probably not organic. ==>The reason is because all commercial spices are irradiated and only those that are certified organic or organic are not. > Now she is using organic cinnamon fresh from Mountain Rose > herbs. Then she was drinking it in hot water as a tea. Now she is > drinking it in cold water. She is using the same amount of 1 teaspoon. Now she is also consuming several tablespoons of coconut oil daily. Would boiling water make the cinnamon ineffective? Do you know if there is an upper limit to the amount of cinnamon that should be used? ==>If the water is boiled and set off the heat and then add the cinnamon and steep for 20 minutes the heat will not destroy the goodies in cinnamon, like any other tea. I do not know the upper limit, but more is not better - 2 tsps per day should be plenty. There are other more important factors in the diet which are more important for controlling blood sugar.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Cinnamon is awesome. I use it as a sugar substitute when I prepare homemade gluten free/wheat free pancakes & waffles. I have read a lot of positive things about Cinnamon helping Candida. Until I hear otherwise, I will continue to use it. From: katcorrell <katcorrell@...> Subject: Cinnamon candidiasis Date: Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 9:12 PM Hi, I just read an article where studies show that cinnamon kills bacteria and fungus including Candida. Has anyone tried this? Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 > > Want to order cinnamon from Mountain Rose herbs. They sell sweet and cassia cinnamon. Wondering which one I should order. Is there a difference other than taste? Thanks! ==>Hi Nina. You could ask MRH about them, but an internet search got this information about different types of cinnamon: http://www.forkandbottle.com/pantry/pantry1.htm " You might think it's just a spice, but did you know that there are different kinds of cinnamon? Neither did I until Penzeys educated me – and now that I know there are four kinds available from Penzeys I must stock them all! (Read about my semi-annual Penzeys orders here). Note: It seems like Penzeys is a book of some kind, but I didn't have time to find out. " My favorite is the Extra Fancy Vietnamese which I tend to turn to for all of the breakfast spicing or sprinkling. The Ceylon tastes like " English Cinnamon " (I can really put my finger on why I think that) and I like it for baking (it's my second choice for breakfast). Korintje is my least favorite… even though I'm sure that's what my mom used – use it wherever you need a cinnamon flavor that's integrated. China Cassia is stronger and would be good if you were baking or cooking and really needed that cinnamon punch – like if you were making your own 5-spice powder or if you are making cinnamon sugar. Penzey's descriptions: 1. Korintje Cassia Cinnamon sweet and mellow, this is the cinnamon we all remember from our childhood. 2. China Cassia Cinnamon is strong and spicier than Korintje, with a potent, sweet flavor. 3. Extra Fancy Vietnamese Cinnamon (is) the highest quality, strongest cinnamon available in America today. 4. Ceylon " True " Cinnamon: complex and fragrant, with a citrus overtone and rich buff color. " Luv, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Does anyone know if this has caused a problem for your child? My grandson(non verbal) actually called me requesting my homemade cinnamon rolls. Naturally I make them for him. His Mom let him have 2 he enjoyed this so much smiling knowing when using his voice he got what he wanted. I will cont. making them for him when he ask. I use very little brown sugar & cinnamon I don`t want to do anything stifle his healing. He has been dairy free for 8 yrs we know this causes a huge problem for him also artificial colors & too much sugar. Everything else difficult to say. He is very thin & a very picky eater so its nice to see him enjoy these rolls. Any opinions? Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi Carole, Dr. G forbids cinnamon in the diet.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi Carole, could you please share your homemade cinnamon rolls recipe? We can change the cinnamon for allspice and use some stevia and a little bit of sugar Thank you in advance Delacroix El 01/03/2010, a las 08:28, Delacroix <vadelacroix@...> escribió: Hi Carole, Dr. G forbids cinnamon in the diet.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Guys  I would be very careful with all spices, As an example Nutmeg has some psychopharmaceutical or psychotropic traits ( http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/195652/nutmeg_high_the_psychoactive_pro\ perties.html ). Others have a wide range of allergenic effects and can cause immune reaction. That is why cinnamon is off limits. My logic is along the same lines of supplements. If I can not ID all of the ingredients or have tested them. they are off limits. Birch bark is acetylsalicylic acid /aspirin. Many are diuretics ( root beer/sasafrass ). In conversations with a plant pathologist with interest in his kid with ASD, he said that many of the traditional seasonings are a offshoot of herbal medications and can play havoc with the immune system. I do not research each spice but I limit them across the board. Just be careful.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 It doesn't surprise me that cinnamon would be avoided. My daughter didn't get a large amount of foods when tested for allergies (blood test), but cinnamon is something that I try to avoid for her. Her skin turns very red in areas where it comes into contact with cinnamon. If she eats something with cinnamon in it....her mouth will get a reddish ring around it. It is just odd in general. There is definitely something to that! > > > > > > Carole, > > > > > > Dr. G has nixed cinnamon for our kids, so when their grandmother bakes for > > > them, she uses allspice (though the name ²allspice² sounds like it is a mix > > > of spices, it actually is not) instead of cinnamon.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Bill, Excellent post regarding spices... thanks. Every food is a drug (good or bad). It goes way back to sailors on ships knowing what they needed to eat to prevent scurvy. I remember Dr. G saying one time that he thinks diet will play an increasingly important role in treating patients as its role becomes it better understood.
