Guest guest Posted September 8, 1999 Report Share Posted September 8, 1999 Hi , What are cedar berries? and sources, Health food store? My Mom uses the Stevia and is completely happy with it as a sweetener. She has commented that her blood sugar readings are very stable, where as they used to vary more, with any little thing, a cold, feeling tired, foods, etc. I don't know that she takes it everyday, or if her readings are stable because of the Stevia. I have read articles saying doctors in other countries prescribe Stevia for both hypoglycemia and diabetes as it regulates blood sugar levels in many patients. She also has learned to buy only pure stevia, and asked for a high grade. The rice maltodextrine it is frequently cut with is, I believe, not good for diabetes, or probably any of us. I think its only use is to cut the Stevia so you can take it in an amount that seems similiar to what you would take with sugar. I think Stevia is 200 times more potent than sugar, if I remember my info correctly, so you don't need much. Stevia comes from the leaves of the plant, so you can get the crushed or ground leaves. The white kind has been bleached, Mom says it dissolves in cold drinks a little easier. Some find it has a slightly bitter aftertaste. I have had several people try one brand, some said it was fine, some detected a tiny bitter aftertaste. Also the grade of the product I understand from my web searching may make the difference here. Nice to know you can sweenten up and may actually be doing something good for yourself at the same time! There are cookbooks available. A websearch is very useful on this topic. ---------- > From: Marcus <cmarcus@...> > oxyplusonelist > Subject: Re: low blood sugar > Date: Wednesday, September 8, 1999 8:07 PM > > From: " Marcus " <cmarcus@...> > > Good suggestions, but I would add one more thing... > > Dr (and Dr Schulze) found that the use of > cedar berries rejuvenated and regenerated the pancreas, > wherein lie the 'islets of langerhorns', which are > responsible for insulin production and blood sugar > regulation. > > -- > > Marcus > > --------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently taking insulin, a low blood sugar also triggers the adrenals to release adrenaline (it's a fight or flight thing telling the body on a very primal level to go get food) creating " cold sweats " , shakes, floaters in the eyes, etc. The symptoms are not always consistent. Every person is different. I am no expert. Very educated folks with lots of medical background debate this issue, and are inconsistent in opinions and treatments. Our bodies don't read all those books but do what they can to keep us going. I am very interested in the cedar berries as it is my humble opinion that I trashed my poor pancreas in my youth from too much ...well partying. Where does one get these berries? Will they be in a health food store or does someone have a link to a supplier? Stevia is also loaded with chromium that assists in blood glucose regulation. I am very interested in this subject! Have been using the homozone this week followed by citrus and am feeling cleaner! A healthy liver (as the name implies) will do a lot for a body.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 > Have been using the homozone this week followed by citrus and am feeling cleaner! A healthy liver (as the name implies) will do a lot for a body. Lash Homozon has been used to successfully treat Diabetes for well over a hundred years Lash. I first heard about it from Dr.GAF several years ago, he writes allot on this list at times. I can't point you to any reading at the moment but you can look in the archives and see if there is any thing on Homozon / Diabetes from Dr. GAF. I know that Homozon is good for many things and that it was first used to treat sugar diabetes, that's what it was originally called. There is also some evidence that Diabetes is related to dehydration in the body. Del Snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Is she experiencing dumping syndrome, wt regain, or what specifically is her problem besides low blood sugar? Magnolia.D.Letendre@... wrote: I have a pt that is about 12 years out from surgery (at that time she had a VBG which was converted to a RYGB). She states about 1 year ago she started to have low blood sugars. She said if she eats chicken and vegetables (which was norm for her until 1 year ago) her blood sugar will drop into the 50s. So now she is eating oatmeal toast w/butter for breakfast, english muffin with butter and PB for lunch and 1/4 of a grinder from subway with salami and pepperoni for dinner. Between meals she snacks on CHOs b/c if she doesn't she will have a low blood sugar. Any advice? I was thinking maybe she is eating too much CHO and triggering dumping but she swears chicken and vegetables will cause her BS to drop.The only thing that has changed is her parathyroid was removed in 2003.TIA for any input.

Magnolia --- end of quote --- I thought it might be latent dumping but she swears her BS will drop after eating chicken and vegetables. She regained about 30# in the past year - mostly likely r/t her frequent snacking. Her only complaint is that she cannot eat like she used to (chicken and vegetables) because her BS will not stay up.

Have her keep records and reactions and that way you can help her figure out how much CHO works for her at each meal while still allowing her variety and weight loss without low blood sugar. Her inbetween meal snack portions can probably be reduced also. Magnolia --- end of quote --- Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi Sheila, I have just remembered a question I wanted to ask ages ago.I suffer from 'symptoms' of low blood sugar.I say symptoms,as I've been tested and told I'm o k.Even if I have eaten a short period ago and I mean short,I only have to walk a very short distance and I start shaking all over,get really clumsy,headache,disorientated,tearful and feel like I havent eaten for days.My question is,is it hypoglycemia,as my heart also races when I get like it and I dont know if thats a symptom,or its something else Best wishes Sharon.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Sharon, Yes, all those symptoms can be hypoglycaemic. However, provided you are not diabetic and on insulin, it is only an uncomfortable experience, and will not put you in a coma (as would an IDD). The liver stores glycogen and when it senses the blood sugar going low it will send out more glycogen. Which means you will recover from this within 20 minutes or so. The only time it would not do this is if you are on an extremely low carbohydrate diet. Do what diabetics do and carry some sweets with you, but do not make it an excuse Lilian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 We have about 1800 post op bypass, as long out as 15 years. RH is not that prevalent and most luckily can be managed with diet but the practice has had 3 cases of neisideroblastosis requiring pancreatic resection and has sent patients to endo for medical management (precose). I’d guess that a couple of hundred people would fall in the RH category. Our former NP did a study about 5 years ago and presented at ASMBS but I no longer have that info-sorry Ellen , MS, RD, CD Bariatric Dietitian Fletcher Health Care 353 Blair Park Road Williston, VT 05495 (802) 847-4844 From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of inmaykiely@...
