A: We received an unsolicited e-mail on October 19, 2002, from “Doctor Ho Wing” that read as follows: Drug companies and some doctors keep telling diabetes “NO CURE” “UNCURABLE” do you know why ? I CURE Diabetes Disease, Absolutely ! I CURE diabetes disease, believe me, never Insulin injection, forget your diabetes for ever. I keep your Pancreas working and Glucose under 200 mg/dl for ever with NO MEDICATION. Normal Glucose range for NON-DIABETICS is 70-120mg/dl, Normal Glucose range for CURED DIABETICS is 70-199mg/dl, The Glucose range for DIABETICS is 200-550mg/dl. I accept only type 1 diabetics or very serious cases. My cure for this disease is Chinese Herbal and natural medicine. It is a 2 to 4 months direct Treatment from doctor to patient. NO INJECTION ! NO SURGERY ! NO DANGEROUS DRUGS ! Absolutely NO SIDE EFFECT ! Remember ! You pay my Treatment after you are CURED and SATISFIED ! Otherwise, DO NOT PAY ! Before your doctor start to cut your foot and hand, please call ! let me save your life ! [Curiosity led me to search the Internet for anything reflecting Dr. Wing’s capabilities. The following website seems to be the only discussion. At EL Rincón de la Polémica, which is in Spanish, there’s a page entitled El Dr. Ho Wing y la cura de la diabetes (Dr. Ho Wing and the cure of diabetes). It seems that others have questioned his methods, and he has not responded adequately. A rough translation of the conclusion of the article is as follows.] Of all the repercussions, one letter stands out: it was sent to Ho Wing by Dr Alberto Alvarez Melero, diabetólogist, Director of Metabolism of Clinical Santa Clarita of the English Hospital of the Northwest (Tijuana, Mexico): “To dare to say that there is a diabetes cure, when we have nothing to judge it scientifically… is not an easy task. Therefore I respectfully request to Dr Ho Wing to please send his scientific studies on the matter to me. I promise him to be impartial and to put in the scientific balance his experimental results and methods. If there is the ability to reproduce these resultes in a laboratory approved by the world-wide scientific community and to be certain of the observations, I will be first in writing to the Karolinska Institute so that it is evaluated for him to receive the Nobel prize”. We received an unsolicited e-mail on November 24, 2002, that read as follows: Hello Friends,I’m sending this letter to my entire email list because I’m so excited about an article that was sent to me about a new product that has just been developed for Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol. It’s working MIRACLES!!! … The Manufacturers of Glucotor Are So Sure of This Product They Are Offering a 90 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. …But someone wrote to the website, and got the following answer: Question:Dear Healing America: I have a friend and her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 3 years old. Now he is 12 I think and on daily insulin shots. I listen to the training call last night and I know that the Glucotor helps people with type 2 diabetes but could it help someone with type 1 also? At least to control his blood sugar so that he didn’t have to be on insulin or at least cut back on his shots. Or can this in any way help someone with type 1 diabetes if so in what way and what would the dosage be? This is really someone I would love to help out so thank you for your time. Tina Answer:So far we haven’t attempted to try it on a Type1. The reason being the medical doctors on board say that it won’t work for a type 1. The guarntee wouldn’t apply to a Type 1. They need to go into it knowing it probably won’t work BUT who knows. [Hmm. Interesting guarantee. If you have type 1 diabetes, they will encourage you to buy the stuff, “knowing it probably won’t work”, but they won’t give you your money back if it doesn’t work!]

But, I read an article that there is a “factor” that is in the coffee to help cure diabetes?

Q: I read it from the link, and I forgot it, that there it is possible that coffee can be one of the remedy for diabetes, of course with the absence of sugar.

A: Dudez,While you can ‘fix’ the early/beginning stages of diabetes (such as insulin resistance and others), once you have the full onslaught of diabetes you must continue to manage it throughout your life.While studies have shown that drinking coffee can help lower the risk of getting type 2 diabetes, they didn’t state that it cured it. The second group of studies showed the caffeine in coffee may play a role in weight gain and hinder a diabetics weight management program. Caffeine is also shown to increase the blood glucose in diabetics. That’s why it’s not good for full on diabetics to drink highly caffeinated drinks. I don’t know if this will help you on your coffee drinking experience, but it’s had a great track record. Skinny Coffee is certified low glycemic by the GRI (an essential key in proper diet plans) and has been proven to be fat burning. It contains buffered/blunted caffeine so it doesn’t work against the body’s weight or glucose levels. Some of the reports have come in saying their customers have seen results on their preexisting weight conditions such as hypothyroidism and even diabetics are finding great results in regards to the lowering of their blood sugar levels. This might be an option worth looking into if you are trying to lose weight or are looking for ways to control your blood sugar levels. Regardless, if you’re looking to manage diabetes and are unable to switch your coffee brand or would rather not give up your morning fling with your coffee cup it is suggested first to use low glycemic and non-cephalic sweeteners and creamers to give you a healthier cup altogether that will help aid in weight loss. Any artificial sweetener will work against your diet, whether it’s zero carb or not (scientific link to new studies below).Hope this helps and we wish you the best.Warmest Regards,Authentically A.http://www.angelascoffeeshop.com/

Will there be a cure for diabetes within two years?

Q: Is it possible that we will have a cure for Diabetes within two years?

A: There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that the use of carefully chosen herbal and homeopathic remedies and dietary supplements can help to both prevent the disease andd keep signs and symptoms of diabetes under control in those who have already developed it. Along with the correct lifestyle changes, herbal remedies and dietary supplements can reduce or eliminate the need for prescription medication and can also aid in preventing some of the tissue and organ damage associated with uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Natural supplements to treat Diabetes can include herbs such as Gymnema sylvestre, Galega officinalis and Bilberry.A few of the herbs have proven successful as natural supplements to treat signs and symptoms of diabetes while the mineral Chromium picolinate has been proven to improve the effectiveness of insulin. Natural remedies such as Insulate Plus is can be used as natural supplements to treat diabetes. Insulate Plus can be used to help maintain blood sugar levels that are within the normal range and support the endocrine system. The herbs in Insulate Plus can also be used as natural supplements to treat diabetes and support healthy circulation which is responsible for adequate flow of blood to the feet and hands. While conventional medicine works by often treating just the symptoms, natural medicine strives to create holistic balance in the body to support systemic health, relieve ailments, and help prevent future disease. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, the natural ingredients in our remedies support overall health and functioning (rather than just suppressing symptoms).
