Herbal Stores and Sweets for Diabetics

[Guest guest]

Hi all

 

I'm an ex-Californian (fourth generation L.A.) and the one thing I do miss

is the wealth of health food and herb stores. The health food stores are

notorious for high prices. Look in the yellow pages for " Herbs " or even ask

at the health food store if they know of a good herb store. They will carry

a lot of tinctures, bulk herbs and anything else you want, and their prices

are a lot lower. They will also (if they are truly good) be able to give

you lots of advice.

 

This will sound rather off the wall, but the intent of the maker is very

important in the final product (tinctures, etc.). If their primary intent

is to make money, the product will have less 'spiritual' or healing

strength. If the primary intent is to help others and the simple joy of

working with herbs, it will show through.

 

As for Diabetes and sweets. One thing to do is eliminate the temptation.

Don't keep sodas or sweets in the house. I'm not a diabetic but I am a

chocoholic and the only way I can control it is to keep it out of here

<grin>! I know there are many sugarless sweets out there and my neighbor,

who is a diabetic, said some of these are really quite good now. But, he

needs to make the decision to change. Maybe if you can help him by

eliminating the temptations, it will get him to thinking. Certainly worth a

try.
