Kathy (Grandville, MI) on 11/21/2024:
I heard a doctor's testimony of getting his wife delivered from 2 years of losing her sense of taste by chewing nicotine gum. He said a plaque had accumulated on her nerve endings and in 3 days she had her sense of taste back. She chewed 4 pieces of gum a day for 10 mins. She continued doing this for 30 days. I had been experiencing occasional numbness and stinging in my feet for MANY years. I also had an attack on my hearing, which can be nerve related, so I gave the gum a try to go after any plaque that I may have had. I have never been a smoker. I took the lowest dose of gum (2 mg.). I knew that tobacco leaves were toxic, but maybe God had given us them to us for such a time as this. A friend had a daughter, who doctors were unable to help. She was getting some amazing results from nicotine patches. I chewed the gum on an empty stomach (starting 1 1/2 hours after eating breakfast) . On the second and third day, when I took the last gum before bed, I got nauseous. I only eat 2 meals a day, and my last meal is at 1:00, so my stomach is the most empty before bed. Due to the nausea, I stopped after 3 days (I have since tried the gum again, chewing it for only 5 mins.) After 3 days, I noticed the tiredness I had been feeling for YEARS every morning after a full night's sleep was gone! I noticed an improvement in my eyesight. I also noticed improvement in my feet. I didn't know why I had gotten such amazing results from taking this gum only 3 days until I listened to an infomercial (endorsed by Barbara O'Neill) last night on a product called GlucoPure. A man discovered that Type 2 diabetes is caused by Prevotella, a bacteria that overproduces in your gut at night while you sleep. He was selling a supplement that kills the bacteria and treats the diabetes. Don't buy any supplement like this (which has a money back guarantee) from any place other than the originator. There are many (cheaper) counterfeit supplements out there that do not work. About 5 years ago, I had been given a prescription for Metformin by my integrative medicine doctor, but I didn't take them. This past year I had noticed unusual weight gain (especially in my stomach and upper arms). I was eating the same or less than I was before the gain and I had the same activity level. Almost all of those above mentioned symptoms, which are now gone, were connected to the diabetes bacteria, Prevotella increasing in my gut while I slept. I will continue to chew the gum to experience the easy weight loss that results as these excess bacteria are cleaned out.
