Re: Digestive Enzymes/ Probiotics

August 28, 2006

Hi Dale:

I wanted to add a little to what Jim said. I totally agree with Jim,

but there is another important point to mention. Obviously you're

doing detoxification, which is very good and also

essential. However, any detoxification without blood glucose control

is not very effective, although certainly being detoxified will help

your body control its glucose levels.

Many people who are on very health-conscious diets with supplements

and antioxidants etc. pay little attention to blood glucose, yet it

is the strongest promoter of aging in the human body unless you

smoke, drink heavily or take dangerous drugs.

I have found that an Ayurvedic herb, Gymnema Sylvestre, extremely

helpful in controlling blood sugar. It is more effective than the

drug Metformin and similar drugs. When I take it 45 minutes to an

hour before a meal with carbohydrates, my blood sugar will almost

never rise over 90 mg/dl after the meal. It is truly amazing and

extremely effective. I've been using it a month now and by results

measured with a blood glucose meter it is totally effective. In

addition, I get a much better level of satiety as well, not craving

more food as quickly. In addition, I've been losing fat around my

middle without otherwise trying. When I remember to take Gymnema

Sylvestre well in advance of a meal, I never have blood sugar peaks

and my blood sugar goes to a resting level much lower than before as

well - in the neighborhood of 70 mg/dl. This means much lower levels

of glycosylation and higher levels of health, and all this time I

feel better, have plenty of energy and am losing fat on my

body. Excellent! Any detox should include detoxifying sugar levels

and Gymnema Sylvestre is a powerful, inexpensive way to help to that end.
