Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Gay is his name. Has anybody heard from him? I'm sure he'd welcome the help right now if things haven't improved greatly. When last I heard from him, he was feeling a little overwhelmed, as I recall. T in KC << Cathy - this is sort of an answer to your question about a Florida Rep - there is one but last we heard from him he was not doing well and, of course, right now I can't think of his name (Anyone - is Gray right or am I way off base). Second, where do you get these supplements - do you have to go to a health food/vitamin store like GNC or where? TTFN, >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, where do you get these supplements - do you have to go to a health food/vitamin store like GNC or where? TTFN, Herbs/PBS About 3 years ago I turned to herbal products for my pain and inflammationof the pancreas. PBS which stands for Pancreas/Blood Sugar (Burdock Root, Cedar Berries, Horseradish Root, Golden Seal Root & Siberian Ginseng Root)has helped me many times. When I get the first sign of pain- usually a burning right below my rib cage I take several of these capsules. Many times I have gotten instant relief, other times not too much. I'm sure it depends on how severe the attack is. The description says that it helps to lower blood sugar levels and decrease the inflamtion of the pancreas. I carry it with me everywhere. I found it through Natures Sunshine Products. There is also PLS II which also aids in inflammation. Maybe this will help some of you.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 " Where do you get these supplements - do you have to go to a health food/vitamin store like GNC or where? TTFN, it is made by Natures Sunshine. I have a store near me, but they also have a web site. www.naturessunshine.com. To get the complete info on-line I think you need to be a member (requires a $40 purchase). But, you can sign on as a guest. Key in " pancreas " in the product search and you will see other enzymes and minerals that suport the pancreas. It's definately worth a try!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Cathy - thanks for the website and info. I don't do any shopping on line (mainly because I refuse to own a credit card other than my JC Penney's) but I will check it out and may be able to find a local outlet in Colorado for these. Heck - it might be I will be able to take them but then again maybe not - will just have to try.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Tull and I were gone last weekend, and I was at the doctors and down Monday and Tuesday. Sorry to be out of pocket without notice. ( I am working on that). I have recently found a good vitamin and herb supplier. The products are made by Advocare. They are available through mail order. I am excited because they have a large section that focus on digestive problems. They are sugar free, and the gel caps are vegetarian safe. Many are predigested to facilitate absorption. I don't have the contact information with me, but I will post it soon. If anyone else has sources they like for obtaining vitamins and herbs give me the contact information and I will post it on the web site.
