Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda
Posted by Angieb (Greater London) on 07/12/2024
★★★★★
Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda have worked excellently well for me in lowering my blood sugar. I am finding it is now raised at around 6.4 bmol after 8hrs of fasting which is pre diabetic blood sugar. To bring it down, I just need to add a teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water containing 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar, and within an hour, my bmol comes down to about 5.5 bmol.

Supplements
Posted by Florida Man (USA) on 01/13/2024
Hi, I've been taking these supplements lately:
- Kirkland Organic Multivitamin
- Apple Cider Vinegar/Manuka Honey
- Black Seed Oil
- Vitamin K2 100MCG MK-7
- Physicians Choice Thin 30 Probiotic
- Moringa
- Baking Soda Capsules
- Cayenne Complex (Extract)
- Ashitaba
- Sea Moss + Bladderwrack
- Quercetin
- Cranberry Concentrate
- Apricot Extract
- Maca Root
- Korean Ginseng
- Ginko Biloba
I'm taking these for various reasons, mostly preventative, to keep blood sugar/pressure regulated, keep kidneys healthy (some relatives having kidney issues had me paranoid and increased awareness of the fragility of them, plus the stats on people with kidney disease), The bladderwrack for bladder repair for years of kratom use (peeing very often). Quercetin for immune system support, which has helped me not get sick.
I have a few questions
1. Do any of these counteract each other?
The reason I'm making this post is because recently after eating my blood sugar has gotten too low (a bit of dizzyness), I tested it 15 min after eating dinner and dessert and it was 115.
A lot of these have the same effect of lowering blood sugar, so it seems to have gotten too low after eating by taking all of these
2. Which ones should I cut out if I had to?
Thanks

Hi Cindy,
Fascinating! I watched the videos and figure, no harm!
Today I was taking a break in a rocking chair and realized one naturally does these “push ups” as part of rocking!
Over the summer I posted about rocking chair benefits. Maybe these “push ups” contribute to the benefit!

I've ben doing the soleus pushups for a couple of days and I have to tell you that, this morning, though my legs feel super good, they also feel like I ran 5 miles. The pushups are still super easy and the soleus doesn't have that good "worked out" feeling, at all, but it seems ALL of the other leg muscles DO! Which is awesome and extremely interesting. The soleus muscle simply doesn't appear to fatigue like a regular muscle...despite the very real probability that it's very seldom been flexed for 65 years! It's quite fascinating! And if it is strengthening the rest of the leg, even MORE awesome than it first appeared!

Soleus Pushup - (not just for diabetes)
Discovered this discovery yesterday around noon and did soleus pushups, sitting at my desk, off and on the whole day and then up to bedtime, slept like a log and feel...different this morning. Not sure how as I nearly always feel good. It's just different. Like my batteries have been recharged or something.
Rather than make a whole long post about what I've found so far, I strongly suggest everyone google soleus pushup +University of Houston or search youtube and watch the University of Houston or Dr. Sean Hashmi or any of the other informational videos that come up.
I'm a little bit shocked that the information is out in the open. It almost smells like a hoax but upon further investigation...it looks more like a leak. I don't know but try it. See if you can find a satisfying adjective to describe how you feel the next day. I can't. It's subtle but also not subtle. I suppose, if I was diabetic or ill, the effect might be more defined...

Earlier on today I wondered whether Milk Thistle was sending up my blood sugar. However, it occurred to me whether the culprit was the milk I'd put in my coffee and I've discovered it is. I've cut out milk since breakfast and just done another test and my blood sugar has gone down to 5.4. Who would have thought! Problem is I cannot stand any of the nut and seed milks on offer. and I do enjoy coffee and tea with milk.

I was just reading Ted under type one diabetes and he says ginger and L- threonine are important for kidneys, I use both most days. L threonine has an R in it. I had a hard time realizing that theonine and threonine are very different, because I had a hard time locating threonine. I thought people were just misspelling the word. I found it online Bulk brand. Coconut oil cold pressed is also amazing for kidneys and liver health.
Also, chanca piedra is nicknamed stonebreaker and also helps with kidney health.

Thanks for posting this! I went off the zero carb rails, which was bad enough, but THEN I went off the keto rails, altogether, Christmas Eve, with both wheat and sugar - plus I'm dehydrated which all came together as kidney pain and a nasty burn-type rash - as if my own sweat was pure acid - yikes! Old school baby powder (talc) helped a lot with the pain and discomfort but didn't clear up the rash. Activated charcoal loaded petroleum jelly seems to be clearing it up but the slightest sweat and the pain and itching starts right back up. So, since you can't just rehydrate overnight, I'm definitely going with the formula you posted.

Been fighting 2 issues: Kidney pain, stones and blood in urine, and PreDiabetes.
Morning blood sugars are 130-150. Lots of weight gain in last few months all around my upper mid section and no change in my diet or routine. I use stevia, not sugar, and do not eat a lot of junk. I generally only eat once per day. I have been taking home made kefir, inulin, cod liver oil, chromium, biotin, flax seed, chlorophyll for a month and my sugar never budges below 120 even though I only eat 1 meal per day.
Finally woke up this morning and my urine was pure blood, fasting sugar 130. My urine will not even change the color of a pH strip it is so acidic.
After re-reading all Ted's posts on kidneys, I went in and made his PH remedy:
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Citric Acid
- 1/8 tsp Potassium Bicarbonate
- 1/2 glass Distilled Water
In about 45 minutes, I went to bathroom and pH strip was now registering about 6.7...not great but much better...
Curiously, I checked my sugar and it was 99!!!! I had just eaten supper less than 2 hours before and I can't remember the last time I had a sugar reading below 120 even after fasting.
So getting the pH alkalized had an IMMEDIATE impact on my sugar. I will continue his remedy twice per day and adjust amounts till I get the PH to at least 7 and I pray this is going to be the long term cure to both issues!!!

Resistant Starch/Raw Potato for High Blood Sugar and Diabetes:
Raw Potato and several other foods contain resistant starch which significantly lowers blood sugar. Just Google "resistant starch blood sugar" for more info. It works. Just a few bites of raw potato will do it. They also sell potato starch which you can mix into a drink. DO NOT EAT LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAW POTATO. I don't think it would kill you or anything but resistant starch is an anti-nutrient so more is not better and I'd guess you could get an upset stomach from too much. Diabetes drugs also have their drawbacks so I still think this is worth doing. Obviously do NOT eat any part of the potato that's green or sprouted. That part is poisonous. Again, just Google "resistant starch" for more info.

Hi Col,
You misunderstood my suggestion to the previous poster.
What I meant by; "It can't hurt", is that since cinnamon is a natural option vs. a pharmaceutical/chemical one, 'it can't hurt' to give it a try. I can't say the same of Metformin, etc.
I never even mentioned a dosage amount in my post; I only suggested that the poster look into cinnamon for lowering blood sugar. The rest (i.e. research and dosage amounts) is up to them.
I can suggest/explain it to them, but I can't understand it for them. :)

Hi Kelly from Cambridge,
Cinnamon is very effective. but to say it cannot hurt is not quite true. Cinnamon is so effective that it can bring the Sugar too low if too much is had at one time. I am not diabetic, but I suspect pre diabetic and when I have too much cinnamon ( ie more than half a teaspoon at a time) my sugar levels went too low. People just need to be aware even though I would use this rather than any metformin type drug, we still need to keep wisdom that too much of anything is not so much a good thing.
Thanks for sharing.

Cinnamon
Posted by Moe (Apple Valley) on 08/26/2016
Yes. Cinnamon does help but it needs to be the Ceylon type and not the Cassia that is the most common one found in the supermarkets. A half teaspoon is the recommended dose. The cheaper Cassia cinnamon has high levels of coumarin and can be toxic to the liver if taken excessively. You can buy the Ceylon at most health food stores or order it online. I too have had amazing results with cinnamon but will be buying the Ceylon which is safe.

Neem tea is effective for lowering blood sugar and blood pressure. In India neem tree is known as the village pharmacy because of its ability to heal a range of health issues - from joint pain, diabetes, high bp, asthma, to skin and dental issues. When I was growing up it was a common sight to see people break a twig and chew on it every morning. They never had any teeth-related issues. Be warned that the tea is extremely bitter but I've got used to it, lol. Amazon sells it. Read up on the benefits of neem, there is a plethora of info on the web. I also put the used neem tea leaves around my plant roots, both potted and in ground. No pests! Love when I can recycle like that. Hope this is helpful.

RP: Yes, the picolinate form of Chromium is best, and ideally add 500mg Niacinamide or Inositolhexaniacinate (flush free forms of Niacin) with it (for best results). You can buy Cinnamon in capsules but in my case is irritating on the tummy so I take an herbal sugar-aid complex of Cinnamon/Gymnema/Mulberry which works fine.
To reduce cortisol increase anti-inflammatory foods or herbs like Pineapple, Ginger, Turmeric, and add anti-stress techniques like Meditation, Yoga, and Relaxing Music or Frequency Harmonics for the body & mind.

Hi Redpanda...Chromium picolinate should certainly help to reduce your blood sugar levels safely.
There are various reasons for abnormally high sugar levels in the blood. When you take chromium and vanadium together every day, these two minerals actually help the insulin to deliver and escort the sugar into the host cells properly where it is most needed for energy. So it will increase the absoption of sugar into the cells, thus normalizing this mechanism, making that aspect more efficient. And that's why taking these two minerals can actually help to cure type diabetes ll. Read this. Also from the research, you must take more than 200 mcgs of chromium per day just to maintain chromium at ordinary healthy levels. So to cure a large deficiency of chromium you must first take more than that dose for a while to more quickly cure that deficiency.
Concerning high sugar levels, the other problem is the body's own mechanism for clearing(excreting) or reducing dangerous sugar levels in the blood. For various reasons (usually due to lack of proper minerals in the diet) this mechanism can become corrupted or inefficient. So you can use Chanca piedra to help alleviate that side of the problem -- 500 mgs twice a day or just take the tea form. CP excretes the sugar quickly, efficiently and safely from the body via the urinary pathway. Other benefits from taking CP are: it lowers blood pressure, relieves pain, lowers blood sugar, lowers blood calcium, removes gallstones and kidney stones, lowers blood fats, lowers cholesterol, highly protective for the liver and kidneys and it's a potent anti-viral.
Other herbs like Gymnema sylvestre will also help to both clear dangerous blood sugar levels blood and will also help to reduce the virulence of fungus, which is why I advise its use against Candida. But, because of all it's other many benefits, I still think Chanca piedra would perhaps be more suitable for your particular problem.

Thank you, Tim! I've just started taking 1000mcg of Chromium (Picolinate) in the morning. I always use coconut oil, so I'm happy to hear that's a good protocol too! I'm not sure if the Picolinate is the right Chromium, so if you have a suggestion I would really love that. I will keep you updated on progress. I'd also read that excess cortisol can be responsible for blood sugar issues, high blood pressure, etc., so I'm looking for something that will help lower that naturally too. :)

Hi RP: Many of the high blood sugar or diabetes cases are a result of infections in the liver/gut/gallblader/pancrease area. May not be your case but simple dietary items will definitely help. Prior to retiring take Oil of Oregano softgels, and eat regular servings of Kefir with the other good foods in your current regimen. Two items which specifically increase the body's ability to metabolize sugar is the spice Cinnamon and the mineral Chromium.
Hope this helps and hear good news from you.

Honey
Posted by Cjuan (Malaysia) on 05/21/2016
I suppose each person reacts differently to honey. Many years ago, it used to spike my BG too but recently I found that it could actually lower my BG, so I am truly puzzled.
Perhaps the type of honey consumed could be the causative factor. By that I mean whether the honey is raw, wild/organic and unprocessed compared to processed honey where the heat-sensitive enzymes get destroyed. Bear in mind too that there are fake honeys around too - those made from sugar water and corn syrup, so these may be the actual culprit causing the spike in BG instead of lowering it.
Diabetics can always test them out for themselves rather than adopt a generalized view of the issue.

I reversed two of my friends diabetes (type 2) in one month without pills.
Whatever you do, do not take Metformin it is dangerous and unnecessary!!
Cinnamon, as you point out is very good (make sure it is true Ceylon) - a couple of other things that are excellent is a small amount of fenugreek in tea every day NB: don't take too much (a small bit does the trick anyway) as it can cause an odour to be excreted from your skin and arm pits that supposedly resembles maple syrup if you have too much.
Another excellent aid is chromium picolinate - this is very cheap and works well.
The reason that I researched this subject was because I was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic after I underwent tests as I was feeling so fatigued and like death warmed up every morning I went to see my doctor (in Thailand). He diagnosed a long list of what I had wrong with me, including inflammation, being pre-diabetic, having high cholesterol, moderately high blood pressure, 20% NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), metabolic syndrome, spastic colon, leaky gut syndrome. IBS and elevated liver enzyme markers!!! Other than that I was perfectly healthy. After the shock had died down I waited for the normal goody bag of pills that Thai doctors normally give you, even for minor ailments.
Instead he delivered the best advice I have ever received from a doctor!! He said, right, that is what is wrong with you, do you have access to the internet? to which I replied yes, of course, he said " then go away, research it and fix yourself". I left the hospital with zero pills (which was great)!
Within the month after a rigorous regime of supplements, vitamins, minerals, moderate sunshine exposure (very important this), dietary changes and some exercise my fatty liver had disappeared, likewise, no inflammation, my blood sugar levels were normal, blood pressure was down to 110/70 (from 135/85), my liver markers showed as normal, cholesterol levels dropped too low from 269 to 180 (200 is viewed as optimal) Nb: my LDL halved and triglycerides level as good as halved as well!!
I woke up in the morning feeling like a 30 year old instead of an 80 year old (I am nearly 60). I do not get tired or fatigued any more and feel fantastic.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Coconut Oil

I am a 57 year old prediabetic male and have had FBS readings as high as 120 for quite some time. I recently began using 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil 20 minutes before meals and was astonished to see my blood sugar level drop to normal range and stay there within days. Nothing else in my daily routine was changed but I did also add one hour of exercise per day. Both of my parents died from complications of diabetes; I am determined to avoid that fate and I believe the ACV and CO have the power to do this.
Chromium Polynicotinate

Most Niacin bound chromium supplements or chromium polynicotinate come in capsules containing 200 Mcg.
If 1,000 Mcg equals 1 Mg, it will take five 200 Mcg capsules to make 1 Mg. You are recommending 100 mg twice per day. That means it will take 500 capsules two times per day to achieve the dose you are recommending if I did the math correctly. Is this correct?
