I think I am going to opt for that for now...I am off to the store to make

soem homemade ADAPTOGEN.

Codonopsis root 100 mg,

Devil's Club bark 50 mg,

Astragalus root 100 mg,

Fo-ti herb 100 mg,

Wild Yam root 100 mg,

Siberian Ginseng 50 mg,

Ashwaghanda root 150 mg.

Yeah, when I was tested a few yearsago, they said I was runner up to the

worst unstable blood sugar they had ever seen.

I am toptally NOT ABLE to do a low carb diet, but I guess I will have to

keep on findng a balancing act.

wonder worker, does not seem to help much either.

Confused and craving,
