[QUOTE="Thirsty, post: 5603, member: 1270"] *Sigh* I've taken a good deal of flak here for daring to question the validity of Carefix's claims. Just for the record, I'd like to make it clear that I've no particular axe to grind over the transfats issue; I'm not a medic, nor am I involved in the food or pharmaceutical industries. Want to try the 'Cure'? I'm not going to stop you trying it; that's your own decision to make. Hell, you can try anything that takes your fancy; crystal therapy, homeopathy, acupuncture, ear-candling, scientology, the list of unproven therapies is endless. All will, however, cost you money, sometimes a significantly damaging amount. Think any of them will cure your diabetes? I really, really doubt it. Judging by my own experience, I can't say that I'm inclined to spend my cash on any of these therapies. One 80mg gliclazide tablet and adopting a sensible diet, (as recommended by NHS employees), has been sufficient to return me to a reasonable state of health, after having been very ill. None of this has cost me so much as a penny. No doubt I'll have upset people again with this post, but consider this; the alternative /complimentary medicine business is huge, and I'd say it's every bit as profiteering as the industries which Carefix appears to hate so much. (I note that he's changed his tune a little when it comes to the cause of type2.) Finally, I'm no ogre; I really do wish all of you the very best of luck in dealing with your illness. If I didn't care, I wouldn't spend my time writing posts like this. Nick. [/QUOTE]
