Cut a lemon or lime into halves or slices, sprinkle about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of salt and same amount of black pepper. roast/ oven bake/direct on gas fire/ barbecue/ cover it and micowave for 40 seconds, salt and pepper side on top till bubbly juice comes out. Let it cool down but don't let it go completely cold, it should be hot. Suck with the pulp direct from the lemon slices/halves as the peel has secreted some juices that you need. Same method can be used with sour oranges or tangerines.
This recipe came from my mum who used it on all her kids as natural alternative which would not give any side effect, to cure headaches, migraines, cough and colds, flu, as well as when someone feels sick as if they want to vomit. This is a ideal alternative medicine for diabetics and ideal for everyone as you don't have to go shopping, everything you'll have in your home when you have any of these problems. All of us brothers and sisters have been using this all these years, may be it might help someone who wants to try natural alternatives which would not give them any side effects especially if they are diabetics.

Anj from London, please elaborate concerning lemons or limes with salt and pepper for treatment of diabetes type II. Have you particular experience or certain knowledge of successful results? I am very interested in trying it. Was it combined with use of medication or other treatment? How often should it be used? Thanks!

From everything I've read, I thought salt was toxic to diabetics.

I think the mechanism here is to extract the bioflavenoids from the white part of the peel. You can get the same effect by boiling some ACV, lemon, lime, orange slices (whatever you have), water and cayenne pepper. Not sure of the measurements. Add honey when it cools down a bit and drink like a tea. I knew an old healer who told me this. Helps when you have a cold or sore throat.
