Dear Rob,The man that sent this to you could do so much better and use less combetic if he ate less carbohydrates and sugar. He should not be eating all those grapes and cheerios for breakfast. He needs some protein with it. He sounds like a carbohydrate addict. Way too much fruit. Where is his protein, and where are the vegetables? Ice crteam, banana, are high glycemic fruits! He probably could cut down to 1 or even 1/2 tab if he would change his diet.Candy----- Original Message -----From: Emil SchneiderTo: CombeticFamily@yahoogroups.comCc: emils@...Sent: 6/30/2006 7:30:32 AMSubject: Re: [CombeticFamily] One of the Ingredients in CombeticRob,
Thank you for your research results.
I think that I finally found an even keel for my diabetes. I have started a
regimen which includes the following :
For breakfast I eat a bowl of Cheerios with about 30 or 40 grapes and a
little bit of milk, then I have 2 combetic tablets 400 units vitamin E;500
mg metformin tab; 1 capsule Eyes Alive from Swanson ;200 mg Alph Lipoic
Acid.
For lunch I eat ANYTHING I WANT plus I have 2 combetic tabs.
For Dinner I have a smoothie that I make from fruit- I cut up a peach or
plumb and a banana, some strawberries- a scoop of light ice cream a little
bit of orange juice and 5 or 6 ice cubesI turn up the Vita Mix machine and
make a delightful smoothie and drink it down befor I go to bed. Then I have
my nite pills which consist of 2 combetic tabs; 1000 mg vitanin C ; 200 mg
Alpha Lipoic Acid; and another Eyes Alive from Swanson. This regimen has
given me GREAT Fasting blood sugar numbers -- Between 85 and 104 ! I feel
fine am rarely tired, and though I walk and run a little slow for my age
(74) I seem to be doing very well.
I will keep you informed as to my continuing progress, and you can use my
information in any way that you think it might help.
How is Dorris doing with her eyesight ? I havent heard from her in a long
time.
Best wishes for everything you do.
REGARDS, Emil

Subject: [CombeticFamily] One of the Ingredients in Combetic
Combetic Family Members:
I have been doing some research on one of the ingredients of Combetic
called Gynostemma Phentaphyllum or Jiao Gu Lan. Here is what I found:
Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, (Jiao Gu Lan) also referred to as a "miracle
grass", is a powerful adaptogenic herb (meaning to help the body
regulate itself) from the cucumber family. This herb grows
traditionally in a mountainous region in South Central China, an area
known for the longevity of its inhabitants and reportedly low rates of
cardiovascular disease and cancer. Moreover, it is used as an
adaptogen because of its unique ability to restore homeostasis to the
body systems which includes blood pressure, reproductive function,
digestive function, immune response, mental function, physical
performance, etc.
Functions:
Jiaogulan is rich in amino acids, antioxidants and minerals. Clinic
studies in humans and animals suggest that Jiaogulan:
. May maintain the cholesterol, triglyceride and other lipoprotein
levels.
. May improve cardiovascular function and lower blood pressure by
decreasing vascular resistance and increasing coronary blood flows.
. Stimulate tissues to revitalize physiological activities and act as
an adaptogenic tonic which may assist in recovery from illness and
fatigue.
. May slow down the aging process.
. Is a powerful antioxidant, protecting the body from free radical
damage.
. May strengthen the immune system to resist diseases.
. Help protect people against radiation damage, reduce the impact of
radiation treatment.
. Assist to improve the quality of sleep.
. Stimulate appetite and help prevent constipation through its
adaptogenic properties.
In the 1970's the Chinese government sponsored a study
focused on the large number of people living to over
100 years old in certain provinces in Southern China.
They discovered the centenarians had one thing in
common. They all drank a tea brewed from a local herb
called Jiaogulan. The locals called the modest
mountain "the immortality herb. "
There is now three decades of research on Jiaogulan
(scientifically known as Gynostemma Pentaphyllum) and
its effects on health. Author Michael Blumert and Dr.
Jialiu Liu even wrote a book about Jiaogulan called,
"Jiaogulan: China's Immortality Herb."
The other 13 ingredients in Combetic also have effective results in
improving health. More on them later.......
Be Blessed,
Rob
