Hi all,
Has anybody tried Essiac tea?. It's supposed to stop diabetes in it's tracks.
I know that the claims are probably horse s**t, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
cheers,
timo.
Yes I've tried essiac tea and it was brilliant for my type 1 Diabetes. My insulin requirement dropped hugely. I used to take 14 units of insulin in the morning and 10 units at night time.
When I was drinking essiac tea I was then taking 3 units of insulin in the morning and 2 units at night time. If I had kept up the healthy eating, very physical job and drinking the tea, I would probably not be needing insulin at all now, as that tea was the only thing I've ever tried that worked.
My problem was that suffering with depression and always having alot of hunger made me then become unhealthy again and I just stopped drinking the tea along with that.
If you are really good and consistent with healthy eating and exercise, then I think this tea really does work wonders for anyone with Diabetes. That was my experience anyway.
