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.

L-acidopholis and L-casei. I plan to buy it since I could not find a kefir starter with these two strains. Thank you.

As long as Stoneyfield Yogurt contains sufficient number of L. Casei, it will work to cure Diabetes Type II.
Good luck P. Raghavan.

What concentration of L-Casei should a yogurt such as Stoneyfield (that Mary asked about) have to be suitable to overcome Type 2 Diabetes? And how often & how much should be consumed per day? Thanks for your important inputs. - Larry / Fairfax, VA

You may contact milk kefir starter manufacturers to find approximate quantity of L. Casei we can expect in one cup of kefir. I looked at probiotic capsules containing L. Casei in the net. They are mentioning the following values per capsules:
By weight, 75 mg to 150 mg per capsule.
By CFU (colony forming unit) 300 to 680 million L. Casei per capsule.
I hope this information will be helpful. For best results, take it as one shot in the morning on empty stomach.

The probiotic I use shows 5 billion viable organisms on the label for L. casei so there appears to be a very wide range in different probiotics and synbiotics.

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.

Kefir contains usually about 30 probiotic strains whereas ordinary yogurt contains only 2 probiotic strains. You have to find a milk kefir starter that contains L. Casei strain out of about 30 probiotic strains.
When four people in my town initially took one fourth cup of Kefir in the morning, there was no improvement in Fasting blood sugar level. Then they took one half cup of Kefir in the morning. There was a slight improvement in fasting blood sugar level. But when they started taking one cup of Kefir in the morning, there was a good improvement. You can also do some trials to find the good dosage. It is better to monitor Fasting blood sugar level every 5 days.

P. Ravhagan on this site has posted information about the relationship of Type II diabetes and the MRSA germ. Here is a link to an article about this:
"Antibacterial activity of L. Acidophilus and L. Casei against methicillin-resistant Staphococcus aureus" by Barbara Karska-Wysocki.
It is something that is very easy to try by eating some homemade milk kefir everyday for eight weeks or possibly by buying the two probiotics listed.

Diabetes Type II is caused by the probiotic deficiency of L. Casei in the digestive system. It can be cured by Kefir, Probiotic Yogurt containing L.Casei, Mung Bean soaked fermented water, etc. If one became Diabetes II because of an antibiotic treatment, it is possible that the antibiotic treatment might have eliminated not only L. Casei but also some other probiotic strains. There are a number of diseases associated with probiotic deficiencies. Probiotic deficiencies can be identified by counting the number of each probiotic strain per unit volume of stool and comparing them with those of healthy adults. There is an advantage to treat Diabetes II with Kefir over other methods.
If one goes through available research papers on probiotics in the net, some of the diseases associated with probiotic deficiencies are as follows:
1) High Blood Pressure - There are some types of probiotic bacteria that can generate nitric oxide from the foods we eat. These nitric oxide generating bacteria can be classified as follows:
Tier I (Critical) = L. Plantarum.
Tier II (Useful) = L. Rhamnosus and
L. Fermentum.
Nitric oxide generated by these bacteria will join blood stream and will dilate all stiff blood vessels. If one is deficient of these bacteria, high blood pressure problem may develope. Kefir contains all these bacteria to cure high blood pressure. I knew two people who were Diabetes II with high blood pressure problem took kefir routine. They are not diabetes anymore and their blood pressures are normal.
2) Vitamin D3 and B12 Deficiencies - The probiotic strain called ' L. Reuteri ' assist in the conversion of Vitamin D to Vitamin D3 and also helps in the synthesis of Vitamin B12. If a person has probiotic deficiency of L. Reuteri, the person may get Vitamin D3 and B12 deficiencies. These deficiencies may create many health problems like Asthma, Wheezing, Allergy, Muscle pain, Vitiligo, etc. Kefir contains L. Reuteri. Four in my took blood tests about a year ago. Blood tests indicate three out of four in my family(75 %) had Vitamin D3 and B12 deficiencies. One person who escaped from Vitamin D3 and B12 deficiencies never took any antibiotics. I took Kefir to correct this problem and my recent blood tests indicate that I am not Vitamin D3 and B12 deficient. It appears that many popular antibiotics eliminate L. Reuteri in the digestive system causing Vitamin D3 and B12 deficiencies.
3) Heart Disease - The levels of bad cholesterol (LDL), good cholesterol (HDL) and Triglycerides (TG) in our blood are mostly determined by the probiotics and enzymes in our digestive systems. The probiotic strain associated with heart disease are:
Tier I (Critical) = B. Longum
Tier II (Useful) = L. Plantarum, L. casei
and L. Fermentum.
Tier III (Good)
= L. Reuteri and L. Achidophilus.
If these probiotics are deficient, one may get heart disease. These probiotics are in Kefir. These probiotics will try to bring the LDl, HDL and TG to the normal level.
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!
Replied By P. Raghavan (Virudhunagar, Tn, India) on 08/28/2016
You can double the quantity of Kefir starter to 2 teaspoon and wait for 24- hour to see whether Kefir looks like yogurt. If it is not, there is something wrong with the Kefir starter.
The probiotics in kefir will not survive in high temperatures and also in very low temperatures. The entire fermentation process should be at room temperature.
Also, you should not add kefir starter when the milk is hot. You can consult the supplier of kefir starter to resolve this problem.

After my fasting glucose went down from 99 to the low 80's using the kefir milk, I suggested it to a friend who is prediabetic. Her fasting glucose also declined twelve points! She said, however, her A1C went up. Is this from consuming too many carbs?
The kefir grains suggested (Mr.&Mrs) tells us to use whole milk that is not ultra-pasteurized for best results, and I found this to be true, as did my yoga teacher. I am trying whole grass fed milk currently, and it isn't as thick as the suggested milk, but is still OK for me. I keep mine on the counter for about a day, then refrigerate if I don't use it. Not sure if the bacteria in whole not ultra pasteurized milk that Ben mentions is killed by the culture process or not, but it definitely seems to lower fasting blood glucose. Thank you!

My kefir did not do very well when it was in the low 70's in my house. It thrived in the winter when I was running a woodstove and the temperature was in the upper 70's.

Is the blood sugar level taken two hours after eating is O.K. for your friend? If it is not O.K. even after consumption of Kefir for 8 weeks in the morning, it may be due to many reasons. Some reasons are: insulin secretion from pancreas may be low, or insulin is not being used efficiently by body cells, etc.
Your friend may try remedies suggested by me for "Blood sugar Spikes after Cure"

Can you store the Kefir milk in the fridge after fermentation, and then consume? Or do you have to consume from room temperature for best results?
Replied By P. Raghavan (Virudhunagar, Tn, India) on 10/11/2016
You can store Kefir in the middle section (not in freezer section) of fridge after fermentation and then consume.

Thank you for the reply.
I was diagnosed as type II diabetic about almost two weeks ago. My bsl was 26.9mmol (UK standards/units). I had exericsed and eaten less than hour before my blood was taken. This might have been the cause for the high reading.
About six days later I provided a fasting blood sample (I didn't consume anything for about 14 hours prior). The bsl came back over 14mmol. And the longer term reading was in the 130s or 140s (I am not sure what - I haven't been back to discuss this result yet).
I started the Kefir about 8 days ago (Saturday), and have been consuming approx. 250ml (250cc) daily, in the mornings on an empty stomach. I plan to continue this for two months, or until my next blood test. I am keeping a diary with this information.
Is there anyway I can test the blood myself - perhaps purchase something from amazon (if not too expensive) that will give reliable results. This way I can monitor if the kefir is working for me.

You can buy a good blood glucose monitor online based on its rating.

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

Rose,In addition to the Kefir, it would be worthwhile to look into Berberine and Intermittent Fasting. Bring your vitamin D level (25 OH d level) well into the reference range of 30 to 100 ng/ml and spend time in the morning sun and later afternoon sun.
