Need more information on diabetes n what I can do to get away from taking meds.
Hello Viki,
There is a lot of information about naturally balancing blood sugar levels in my book, WEIGHT LOSS. http://www.naturalnurse.com/products/books/alternative-medicine-magazines-definitive-guide-to-weight-loss-10-healthy-ways-to-permanently-shed-unwanted-pounds/
Depending on your specific health condition, type of diabetes, the kind of medication you are referring to, and other individual factors, you may be able to decrease
medications with guidance from your doctor.
Have stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer and am on Lupron and Zytiga. Situation is said to be noncurative. Have recently as per my request gotten a holistic doctor on my cancer team. Have been a long time user of curcumin BCM 95 for arthritis. Now with the cancer I am up to 9 grams per day of curcumin using bioperine with it as well. Am curious to learn if that is enough to eventually keep the advancing of the prostate cancer while it is located in the T12 and L2 vertebrae. Dr. Ajay Goel’s book has become my cancer Bible and presented both my oncologist and urologist wit a copy of said book.
