Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Dear Yehuda Frischman; Sorry, this is anecdotal but right from the heart and my personal experience in my family. My mother was a sort of lunatic-visonary and tried some variety of cures, all of which were used on me, the guinea pig, and some stuck. I and my mother have a tendency to hypoglycaemia. I would caution you, not just chromium but chromium, magnesium and zinc are all helpful, that is our experience. I use them every day--again, just anecdotal. My experience is that i can use a very high carbohydrate diet of generally complex carbs. like brown rice and carrots, and tolerate it very well indeed with chromium, magnesium and zinc. if I forget my supplements, I start to get the whole hypoglycaemic syndrome, rushes and depression related to carbs. Yes, i use amino chelated minerals as my digestion is weak. Best of wishes, you are on a roll, keep it up, this helped our family survive a strong tendency towards issues.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I have also found a vitamin B complex with higher doses of regular niacin (not niacinamide) to be helpful. As far as the niacin, it will make you flush the first three days, if you flush the fourth day you are taking too much. --- Mark Milotay <mark wrote: > Rob, > > What dosages of chromium, magnesium and zinc are you > using? > > - Mark > > On Nov 29, 2007 8:15 AM, robb thurston > <robb7thurston wrote: > > > Dear Yehuda Frischman; > > Sorry, this is anecdotal but right from the heart > and my personal > > experience in my family.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi Robb, Thanks for the feedback. I use the three minerals you mention with many of my patients and find that there definitely is overlap. They are also all user friendly to determine if necessary: Zinc you can test orally with liquid zinc sulfate (Zinc Status): take a teaspoon of it and place in the patient's mouth for 30 seconds. If they have a metallic taste, then no deficiency. Magnesium, I look at the five criteria I have written of before: constipation, poor sleep, muscle spasms, bone spurs/calcium deposits, and unhealthy liver. And chromium would be the first thing I would think of in Diabetes II patients. BTW, I would strongly recommend cutting back on carbs, and increase fat from vegetable and/or fish sources. Check out Sear's Enter the Zone for more information on balancing carbs fats and proteins. I also don't like the idea of taking Amino Acids, as I feel that though they can compensate in a high carb diet, it is an artificial balance, and can put alot of strain on the liver, spleen, adrenals, and intestines. Your tendancy toward hypoglycemia supports my contention. I strongly believe that if we use sound conservative principles of Chinese nutritional therapy, hypoglycemia, IMVVVHO, can be resolved.
