Moms health declining from diabetes

Posted By Guerchard (Somerset West, Western Cape, South Africa) on 07/20/2012

My mother is a diabetic for many years and has also undergone a triple by-pass operation after suffering a heart attack some years ago. Because of her diabetes she has to go to hospital regularly and her latest operation (earlier this week) involved artery replacement in her left leg because her left foot had become swollen and painful. According to the doctors they will have to amputate the toes or perhaps the entire left foot (probably within the next 3 weeks) if the operation is not successfull because there is little to no blood flow to the toes. She has to take a lot of medication on a daily basis and her health is definitely declining. I have just this morning stumbled upon your website and hope to find some helpful advice with regard to a remedy to reverse the effects of the diabetes. Lots of good things are being said about Apple Cider Vinegar; Beetroot; Blackstrap Molasses; Vitaforce; Stevia? Would buying these products and administering them do any good at this stage? We are looking for a sustainable long term home remedy, but something also needs to be done right now, to prevent amputation if possible. I am looking forward to hearing from anyone with advice on this situation.

Thanks in advance, Guerchard

I found ACV and cinnamon to be helpful in bring my pressure down, Alpha Lipoic acid and Acetyl L-Carnitine helps me with some nerve damage on feet. But NO to the blackstrap molasses. It will raise her blood sugar to the roof and it takes days to bring it back down. That has happened to me. God bless.
