Question
I have read where the hydorginated oils that we used before we found out how bad they are stay in the cells & cause typeII diabetes due to the fact they can not except the insulin as they are full of this garbage.    My husband has typeII & controlls it by diet & exersize.  He  takes Gymnema Sylvestre & Alpha LIpoic Acid.  We also have the Ionic Foot bath.  His blood sugar is still a little higer then we like.  This AM it was 139.  It is always a little higher in the AM.  However what would you recommend that he use to totlly detox his cells?  

Thank you,

Roberta

Dear Roberta,

My apology for the delayed response.  My internet has been down and unable to log on to attend to all questions.  Each question is very important to me to do my best to provide the appropriate information.

Chinese herbs work very well to manage diabetes and other ailment of the body.  However, it needs to be properly prescribed in the right amount with the right type of herbs working harmoniously in combination.  It is best to visit an acupuncturist or Chinese herbalist to be examed in order to receive the proper herbs for your husband's condition and his body constitution.
