Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Susie, fwiw they (the well respected Horse Journal that does extensive studies)recommend magnesium and GTF chromium for insulin resistant ponies. I was taking 1000 mg magnesium a day as recommended for gum infection repair - it worked, but I also did a bunch of other stuff as well. Because of the pony article I read, now I'm taking 300-400 mg magnesium per day in the evening, because it's supposed to help evening relaxation for sleep. And it really does help me sleep - no more melatonin. Barb -------- http://www.RainbowFarm.com http://www.RainbowFarm.com/photos.html >.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Thanks for that, Barb. Once I get the bloodwork results, I'd like to add Chromium GTF too. I just wanted to mention that in today's reading at the go-symmetry site, I read that Coenzyme Q-10 (which I also take) is supposed to prevent/cure gum disease, as well as increase energy (which could lead to weight loss), improve heart function, boost the immune system, and even possibly prolong life.

I do this and not only did I get rid of it, it hasn't come back. carol __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
