Personal Diabetes Essential Oils Trial
The Method:
1) Remove synthetic trans-fats from the diet as found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils such as: vegetable oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, vegetable fat, corn oil, mono-, di-, and tri-glycerides of fatty acids. These oils are not just found in bottles but also find widespread use in many processed foods, especially those in tins and packets. Bottles for liquid oils are usually clear glass or plastic. These oils are not required to be labelled as hydrogenated so always assume that they are if in any doubt.
2) Replace the above oils removed from your diet with natural essential cis-isomer oils as follows:
For the first six weeks of your trial take up to four tablespoons full of linseed oil (also known as flax oil) daily. These oils must not be hydrogenated!
Thereafter take up to 2-3 tablespoons full of linseed oil and one tablespoon full of hemp oil and one or two teaspoons full of fish oil such as cod liver oil daily.
