Tau

Terry,

Unfortunately, the site you link to does not list what the product is made up of - it only claims what it will do. Like your posts, there seems to be more hype than substance.

As someone who seems to promote themselves as well versed in herbal treatments, I'm surprised that you are unaware of Ms. Gladstar. Shes a pretty well recognized master herbalist. (and let me be clear - I am not)

My point in bringing her up is that herbs have been around for a very very long time. Unless Eastwood Companies is inventing new and amazing herbs (which would challenge the whole "natural" ideal), then what is out there is already pretty well established and understood.

I'm certainly willing to accept that there is advancement in the understanding of what certain herbs can do. In such a case, I'd like to know what herbs you're referencing, and what research is revealing this.

Likewise, if you are aware of this research center - please link to it and their peer reviewed studies that share their results.

I am aware that you did not create the product - but it is "yours" as it is the only product that you are promoting for purchase on this site. I am a little dismayed to learn that you understand so little about the remedy that you are claiming will "cure" diabetes. That seems pretty risky, in and of itself.

I guess, as a thoughtful consumer, I am unwilling to accept on blind faith the miraculous claims of any product - especially when the person informing me has a financial motive behind the pitch.

Well said Tau.
I am all for natural remedies when I feel I can use them... but if they don't work we will turn to traditional medicine.

Since diabetes is present because the islet cells of the pancreas had stopped producing enough insulin, how in the world can there be a "cure" that doesn't involve a pancreatic transplant?

It is wise to look at the causes of conditions before buying into anything claiming to be a cure.

Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau

Is this book of any value?

I have not read it. The only thing I know is what I have read on the Internet, and anything I read on the Internet I don't immediately assume is valid information.

Since I have very knowledge on this subject, I can not say what is valid or invalid. My advice is verify the information from sources beyond those recommend by those selling\marketing the product.

What bothers me about miracle cures, get rich quick schemes, and other short cuts to instant solutions to health and personal problems, is that those individuals pushing those amazing solutions are more often than not targeting desperate people and\or elderly who are too easily manipulated. The average person will double\triple check information, but a desperate person will invest what little money they have into a product that simply is a sugar\caffeine pill (so-to-speak).

Terry claims that the product will regenerate new pancreatic cells and "receptors" in the liver and muscle tissue.

HOW the pills will do that, and what the active ingredients are, is still unknown.

Even Terry doesn't know.

Jtee,

I havent read the book - but I have heard reports that the author is under investigation for fraud.

SageMother

The though of receptors regenerating just makes my flesh crawl. What if they mutate during regeneration? Could you imagine them turning into hemorrhoids or something?

I heard that aspirin is still the singularly most useful drug available... and that new uses for it are being discovered all the time. Most recently it was found that it can be of great assistance in battling heart disease. I don't know the details. The point is that aspirin is now a common property commodity item - there is zero financial incentive for drug companies to fund research into its uses and benefits. Why would they? Why would someone go out and spend $45 a bottle on Drug X to cure their Disease Y when they could get the same benefit from a couple of aspirin and a good night's sleep?

To my mind this is the one remaining legitimate argument for a centralised government in a capitalist world: that there comes a time when the financial interests of certain groups (who are morally entitled to make a profit if they're able to, of course) don't work in favor of society as a whole (climate crisis anyone?).

$45!!! No way more like $450!!! lol

euh...I've been type 1 diabetic since I turned 18...which means 10 years of monitoring my blood sugar, taking 4 insulin injections a day and basically calculating my life in increments of 4-6 hours between my injections. There has been great advancements in the cure for diabetes...transplanting islets from pigs, pancreas transplants etc...but do you realize that even with islet transplant, you have to watch everything you eat for the rest of your life in case it triggers type 2 adult onset diabetes? so you realize that even with a pancreas transplant, you still have to monitor your diet as well as follow dialysis treatment before and after translplant until your body accepts the organ? and that's not to say that perhaps your diabetes, by that stage, hasn't affected your kidneys or liver already? Unfortunately, I have accepted the fact that in my lifetime, my children's lifetime and maybe even grandchildren's lifetime, diabetes will not be curred. They can't even decide if it's genetic or environmental (type 1, NOT type 2). I watched my father die an early death due to hospital mess ups and I take care of myself as best as I can...but we're not perfect and I expect one day to die because of my illness or complications due to it. And YOU try to live "naturally" with diabetes...type 2, will take about 6 months before succoming to a diabetic coma...type 1...less than a week...and if you'rve ever been severily hypo or hyper glycemic before, you know you would NEVER go "natural" being a diabetic...
