Guest guest Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 it is apple vineagar I've tried it, but man,whoosh! instead i use it as a salad dressing and i do take cinnamon capsules twice a day, this has helped my A1C with in time sugar APPLE CIDER VINEGAR DOSAGE AND RECIPE 09/08/2008: Earth Clinic writes: " We are going to revise our recommendations for daily use of apple cider vinegar. As you know, Earth Clinic has recommended the standard 2 teaspoons in 8 oz of water 3x a day for years now. For more severe conditions, we recommended 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in 8 oz of water 3x day. We are coming to believe, however, that less is more in the case of apple cider vinegar. Less vinegar, more water. Our revision to this remedy is as follows: 2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar 16 ounces of water Sip, don't chug! We now suggest 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 16 ounces of water that you'll sip throughout the day, rather than drinking the whole concoction at once 3 times a day. You will be keeping your pH in a constant, alkalized state by sipping this highly diluted dosage. Usually one tall glass of the concoction is all you'll need each day. If you drink a lot of water throughout the day, consider adding just a splash of apple cider vinegar to your glass/container each time you fill it up, rather than drinking the one, 16 oz glass of acv and water mentioned above. Remedy # 1 This one is not actually a remedy, but it is the most important thing you must do in order to keep your weight in a normal level. And that is, stick to a healthy diet. The following are the dietary guidelines you must follow in order to keep your waistline healthy: - 1 Do not overindulge in eating any one type of food. Keep your diet balanced. 2 Keep the intake of sugars and fats to a minimum. The fats to be avoided are the saturated fats and the trans-fatty acids. 3 Too much carbohydrates build weight. Hence, the intake of rice and potatoes must be reduced. Wheat, barley and maize are ideal substitutes for rice in people who has weight problems. 4 You must have at least one bitter vegetable per day. This helps in the proper metabolism of fats and do not allow them to accumulate in the body. 5 Never eat to full capacity. 6 Consume a lot of fluids in the day. This helps to eliminate the undigested foods effectively. 7 Exercise is extremely important. It is necessary to indulge in mild physical activity after each meal even if you cannot make time to go to a gym. Remedy # 2 Have a totally salt-free diet once a week. This helps reduce weight. Also skip a meal once in a month. Remedy # 3 Prepare chutney of mint leaves. This must be taken with every single meal. It helps in the proper breaking down of the fats. Also begin your day with a cup of mint tea. Remedy # 4 Vitamin C is very good for people who are looking to reduce their weight. Since amalaki (Emblica officinalis, Indian Gooseberry) is the best source of vitamin C in the world, it is good to eat two three fruits of the amalaki each day. Also have a glass of any one citrus fruit - orange, lemon, etc. - each day. Green leafy vegetables also have good vitamin C content. They can be consumed raw in the form of salads. Remedy # 5 Honey is very good for mobilizing the fats in the body. Take a spoonful of honey half an hour after every meal. A good remedy is to mix a teaspoonful of honey and lemon juice and have it twice a day. Alternatively, you can take a bowl of warm water, put a teaspoonful each of honey and lemon juice and drink it in the morning on an empty stomach. This is a very good remedy to dissolve the excess fats. Remedy # 6 The Indian plum, i.e. jambula, is renowned for its weight controlling properties. Jambula dissolves the excess fats and gets them properly utilized in the body. Take four leaves of the jambula plant and soak them in a glass of water overnight. In the morning, discard the leaves and drink the water on an empty stomach. If you do this everyday, then you will find a positive reduction in your weight in three weeks or a month.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Perhaps an old wives' tale, Don, but hard to say. There is generally no such thing as magic when it comes to managing diabetes. Although, there are some foods and even spices, such as cinnamon, which help when it comes to digestion and knocking down subsequent blood sugar spikes.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi everyone. I just wanted to tell you that I take a cinnamon supplement twice a day with lunch and dinner. My doctor suggested it a few months ago. You can buy it at WalMart. They are 1000mg capsules. It says to take one to two capsules twice daily. I can't say whether they are a miracle or not but my blood sugar readings seem to be a little better when I test a few hours after a meal. Plus, they have chromium in them which is supposed to help with weight loss. I have nothing to say about that part of it!!! There are also cider vinegar tablets that you can buy. I'm not sure about those either. Just wanted to share. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 There are some studies with vinegar as part of a meal. It has positive results and the suggestion is that it inhibits the metobolism of glucose and aids insulin esistance at the cell level. We produce vinegar all the time in our large gut as the product of bacteria fermentation. Those products which include vinegar have been connected to benefits for glucose control. > Hi Folks: > > Someone told me that vinegar in water helped control blood sugar. Has > anyone heard of this?

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hello, Don, I read this, too, and n Whitaker touts vinegar and water. Some people disparage Dr. Whitaker, but I remember the farmer turned veterinarian and then turned medical doctor who made the " Dead Doctors Don't Lie " materials in the 80s, which touted the importance of minerals. People called him a quack but what he said is now widely accepted to be true. Because of this vinegar and water idea I changed my salad dressing from lemon to vineger. Haven't noticed much difference in the blood sugar levels, but the weight has stopped rising and has begun to fall again. Dotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
