If you can provide any data to support this claim, please, do so:
1)# of control samples taking GS and total number of your diabetic clients
2) dosage of GS taken daily
3) length of experiment until FBG <100 is achieved
4) % of success
5) other supplements, medications taken
I just wonder, if you are an MD, ND, RN, NP or in medical profession field at all? You reffer to your "clients" being cured by GS, so those are your patients? I also see you advising on supplements with a high regree of assurance, like someone with a medical background would. Diabetics thought to be low on most vit/minerals for 2 reasons:
1) impared digestion, prevention full absorbtion of nutrients
2) urinating more often (when glucose is high) and basically peeing out water soluble Vit/minerals.
But with impared digestion, wouldn't it be hard to digest supplements as well, unless they are in injectable form and bypass digestion?

People on the board have had good results with the regimen also.

is it because of GS regimen alone or taking a dozen of other vitamins, minerals and such in addition to GS?
Pardon my sceptisim, but since being Dx I've tried almost any herbal remedy that claimed to help controlling BG and cure diabetes, and yet I am still in the same place where I started in 2002. I also take all recommended vitamins and minerals without seeing any difference in my numbers. This is why I am a bit sceptical about GS and other herbs claims. The only evidence we have is ability of GS to control sweet tooth, as a sugar destroyer. So it does help ppl that have troubles controling their sugar cravings and sweet tooth to lower BGs and may be even lose weight simply because they stop craving and eating sweets...
But in order to utilize this mechanism, one has to
chew the raw GS leaves, which contain gymnemic acid and sort of "numb" sweet receptors on the tongue. Does taking pils containing tiny amount of dried herb works the same way? Just a thought. May be it does not work for me since I don't have sweet tooth and don't eat sweets, who knows.
I also interested what is the mechanism of regeneration pancreatic B-cells, AFAIK once they are gone, it's forever. I was trying to find an unbiased information (free from sales ppl claims) regarding GS on the web with no success.
I would appreciate if you can provide a link to some unbiased information on GS.
