Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I wonder if " bitter melon " might be of benefit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_melon I eat the rind of one about once per week spread out over two or more days. I find bitter melon in South Asian/ Indian stores and try to go for fresh rather than frozen (don't know if it makes a difference). Last summer I even grew a few here in Connecticut. I also take resveratrol. I think it may be alleged to be anti-carcinogenic. As it is found in red wine and concord grape juice, I try to drink a little of one of those a few times a week. Walter @...: tina@...: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 13:21:43 -0600Subject: [ ] Blood sugar question Hi there! I've been on the list for over a year and do so love all thediscussion. It is very valuable to me.I'm type 2 diabetic with a dx of breast cancer that has spread to my brain.I'm happy with my protocol that I'm doing right now, but I have a question.As a type 2 diabetic, I am dependent on insulin. It's a little more naturalthan the other stuff. I'm looking at hydrazine sulfate right now. My bloodsugars, while well controlled, are still higher than normal a good part ofthe time. I'm wondering if the hydrazine sulfate would help block thecancer cells from taking advantage of the higher blood sugar levels that Ioften have.Any input?Tina from Kentucky[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] _________________________________________________________________ Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live. http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Carolyn, no, blood sugar isn't that much of an issue to a candida patient because the absolute amount of sugar we're talking about isn't that high, and as Wil pointed out and I agree, candida numbers are very low in the blood despite any blood sugar swings you've had in the last months and years That specific should be good news and the rest of it is that the candida in the gut don't get a crack at blood sugar either. So, though there may be " many " candida in the bloodstream altogether, their numbers are very small and they are under control enough to not cause toxic shock. I think xylitol is OK because it is an alcohol and can't be eaten by candida, which creates alcohol as a waste product. I don't like stevia either; I prefer sucralose (holy cow:) all good, Duncan > > > > Duncan, > I thought it was a " no no " . If it is a " yes yes " , I will gladly re-introduce it.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I agree with the xylitol thing. It has never caused me any problems and I have eaten large amounts of it on occasion. greg h > > > > > > > > Duncan, > > I thought it was a " no no " .

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 , Candida don't get the bloodstream at least you be severely immunocompromised. There isn't evidence in the medical literature that this has happened. Candida Related Complex is an intestinal overgrowth that excrete toxins as a result of its own metabolic cycle. This toxins are so simple that pass the intestinal lining and get the bloodstream. When this happen, you feel extremely bad as a result of the toxic state they produce. A simple test is to take any antihistamine (sp?) during this reaction and you will notice how the symptoms subside. Candida itself don't get the bloodstream but only when you be close to death. . > > >>Carolyn, no, blood sugar isn't that much of an issue to a candida patient > because the absolute amount of sugar we're talking about isn't that high, > and as Wil pointed out and I agree, candida numbers are very low in the > blood despite any blood sugar swings you've had in the last months and years > That specific should be good news and the rest of it is that the candida > in the gut don't get a crack at blood sugar either.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 What protocol, and anti candida diet? It shouldn't lead to high glucose readings, no, beacause it contains very little high glycemic food AND low total carb loading.
