I agree, especially in light of the fact that no one - not even the doctors - may have experience with the combination of medications. My aunt was put back on her insulin and that was it. I think that many times the docs want to do something so they prescribe a medication. If you ask if the patient really needs it, most of the time the doc will say no, so why should she take it?

My advice is to find a good homeopathic physician. I've seen one for over 20 years. I am 60 years old and take nothing other than a good vitamin supplement. I'm in better health than 99% of people my own age. I eat a mainly plant based diet, meat only so often and in moderation and do weight bearing exercise daily. I could pass for someone 15 year younger than my age and am no where ready for retirement.

We need to take control and responsibility for our own health, for me it has worked.

I have a younger sister who has diabetes. She weights close to 500 lbs, eats whenever or whatever she wants and then is upset because she's back in the hospital again. She's had her leg amputated, almost died from gangrenous gall bladder and now they are chipping away at her other foot and leg. With all of that it is not enough to keep her away from the foods she should not be eating.

Oh, that's horrid...
