My husband (age 82) has been prediabetic for several years, his A1C recently went over 7. so his doctor put him on a weekly injection (very expensive) the first one went ok, the next week he became very ill, vomiting and diarrhea..... stopped that medication immediately. I had read here about taking kefir; we bought a store brand at our health food store that contained L. casei and L achidophilus, he drinks a cup in the morning on an empty stomach, some days he forgets so it is about 4 days per week, in about a month his blood sugar has gone from the 140s to 100-110. If you are diabetic this is certainly worth trying.

I have been taking kefir for no less than 6 months. This is my 2nd time trying. After taking about 4 months with no improvement I added Vit C 1500 mg and chlorophyll/ spirulina. Fasting b/g still high. 2hours After meal b/g 195. I'm not great with making fresh kefir mine always separates. But I was told it is still good.
Please tell me what I need to do for this to work.
Really want to cure my Type 2 diabetes. Btw I am taking Jardiance 1x per day.
Additionally, should 1000mg of Vit C NOT be taken with the 1 cup kefir? Trying to find out if it destroys the kefir probiotic.
Thanks,
Rose

1. Can I take "Water Kefir" instead of Milk Kefir?
2. How long should I not take any other food or medicine after taking water kefir?
Thanks in advance and appreciate your great work!

I wanted to give an update on my experience with the probiotic capsules that you are recommending. I have been taking them (as you directed) for over 31/2 months and am still experiencing high morning readings. When I woke up this morning my reading was 221. That seems to be my average. Just to experiment the last month or so I have taken two capsules in the morning instead of one and am still not experiencing any change. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thank you!

1) Daughter of my own sister who is about 53 years old, feels that she became Diabetes II with high blood pressure problem after an antibiotic treatment one year ago. She took Kefir Routine about 12 weeks back. She took blood tests recently. The test indicates her A1c level 5.5 and her blood pressure is normal. She is very happy now since there is no need for her to take any diabetic or blood pressure medications.
2) A business associate of mine who is about 55 years old, believes that he became Diabetes II because of stress. He took Kefir Routine about 4 months back. After Kefir Routine, he went to his doctor for a check up. The doctor tested his fasting blood sugar level and blood sugar level 2 hours after eating. The doctor asked him what he took to reduce his blood sugar levels. He told the doctor that he took a probiotic food called 'Kefir' for about 8 weeks in the morning on empty stomach. The doctor was surprised to hear that a probiotic food can cure Diabetes II. The doctor told him that Diabetes II is supposed to be a life-long disease. His fasting blood sugar level used to be about 235 level. His doctor told him that maintaining that 235 level for him is very difficult using current allopathic medications. Doctor told him that he is cured. Then the doctor told him jokingly " This kind of probiotic treatment will affect the revenues of doctors who are specialists in diabetic care and also pharma companies which are manufacturing large quantities of diabetic medications. He is now trying to lead a stress free life.
3) A factory worker who is about 30 years old feels that she became Diabetes II due to stress caused by her alcoholic husband. She took Kefir Routine about 4 months back. Then she went to a government hospital for a check up. Her fasting blood sugar level was usually around 300. During check up, her blood sugar levels were near normal. The doctor asked her whether she took anything to reduce her blood sugar levels. She said she took nothing since she could not explain Kefir to his doctor. The doctor asked her to come back after one week. The next time also her blood sugar levels were near normal. The doctor told her " you are lucky and you are not diabetes anymore. But I can not give any reasons for that. ".
I hope the above information will be helpful. Kefir will cure not only Diabetes II but also high blood pressure problem since Kefir contains nitric oxide generating probiotic bacteria, L. Plantarum, L. rhamnosus and L. Fermentum.
Best Wishes P. Raghavan.

Also, you say in the morning the Kefir should look like yogurt. However, mine does not, it still looks like milk. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!
Rsw (Oh) on 05/25/2016:
Here is my report on the kefir. I don't have diabetes but it runs in my family, so I bought the Mr.& Mrs. Kefir grains and have been drinking about a cup every day for a month. My glucose is usually 99, although with probiotic supplements it was 89 six months ago. After the milk kefir, it is now 82! I have been able to share the extra grains with about ten other friends so far, who want it just for the probiotics. I have gotten used to the taste, but usually add fruit and/or raw honey to the kefir. It has had no adverse effects on my body, and has lowered my glucose. Thank you!

My son had a staph infection on his leg that we could not completely get rid of even with turmeric, which generally works very well for staph. When we added kefir to his treatment plan, he quickly healed in a matter of days.
So, now I see that a certain strain of bacteria is likely in the kefir we used (L. Casei).
I was in a Costco this week and saw a plain yogurt and checked it out - "Fage" Greek Yogurt. It has L. Casei and L. Acidophilus in it. It also does not contain the additives and preservatives that many yogurts have. I bought some and it is delicious, by the way. I thought I would pass this along for those looking for a product that contains these important bacteria.

The bad bacteria responsible for Diabetes Type II is : Staphylococcus Aureus (S. Aureus). The probiotic bacteria ( also called Friendly Bacteria) "L. Casei" can eliminate this bad bacteria. One will become Diabetes Type II if there is no sufficient quantity of L. Casei in ones digestive system to kill this bad bacteria. Only way to cure Diabetes Type II is to increase the count of L. Casei in the digestive system.
We bought milk kefir starter (Brand - Mr and Mrs Kefir) from Amazon.com. Milk Kefir is a Fermented Probiotic Food and it contains L. Casei. One can use any other starter as long as it contains L.Casei. We used 12-hour fermented fresh kefir for this cure. We used ordinary cow milk at room temperature for fermentation. The 12-hour fermented Kefir looks similar to yogurt and there is no need to do liquid-solid separation. It is advisable to do the following procedures under the supervision of a doctor :
1) Take one cup (100 cc) of ordinary cow milk at room temperature and add one teaspoon of Kefir to start the fermentation at night.
2) Next day morning, one cup of 12-hour fermented Kefir is available. Save about one teaspoon of Kefir for next fermentation and save it in the middle section of refrigerator. Take the remaining one cup of Kefir in the morning on empty stomach.
3) Follow Step 1 And Step 2 for about 8 weeks.
4) Then check for the bad bacteria S. Aureus in the stool as well as in the blood in a Lab. If there is no S. Aureus in both, the person is cured. If there is some S. Aureus either in the stool or in the blood, then follow steps 1 and 2 for another 4 weeks. Then go to the beginning of this step 4.
If a milk kefir starter is not available in your area but Mung Bean is available, one can use Mung Bean soaked fermented water to cure Diabetes Type II. Mung Bean soaked fermented water also contains L. Casei. One can follow instructions under the tittle " Mung Bean soaked Fermented water for Diabetes Type II" .
Best Wishes P. Raghavan.

Four people (diabetic - 2) in my town took one cup of kefir on empty stomach in the morning for 8 weeks. They are now free of this problem. Has any one tried this?
