It is found that mixture of Honey and Cinnamon cures most of the diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Ayurvedic as well as Yunani medicine have been using honey as a vital medicine for centuries. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Baan' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients also. A famous magazine named Weekly World News published in Canada dated 17 January, 95 has given a list of diseases that can be cured by Honey and Cinnamon as researched by western scientists.


Arthritis

It is noticed that the pain recedes within a minute or two. Or arthritis patients may daily, morning and night take one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If drunk regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research done at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week out of the 200 people so treated practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

Bad Breath

People of South America, first thing in the morning gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water. So their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

So are you going to your local store for all of this or are you ordering it all from one place? I'm thinking since I'm in a small town I need to find one place to order it all from instead of 5 different places. Unless I just drive to Dallas and stock up for a months worth at a time.

Interesting article on the benefits of cinnamon by New Scientist:
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994413

The article mentions 1 teaspoon of cinnamon a day. It sounds like KRL is taking 6 teaspoons a day.

Local store. Florida has everything right here.

Excercise works really well for losing weight ;)

I don't know about all that herbal stuff...even normal stuff.

Ya, I just read something about that here:
http://www.life-enhancement.com/arti...ate.asp?ID=914

It says the people taking 1 gram of cinnamon a day had the same effects as the people taking 6 grams a day. It says 1 gram may be more than enough...any opinions KRL?

Are you losing the weight because you puke after that much cinnamin?

I am gaining pounds and anything that i can do while I sit on my ass and make money is worth doing but it sounds like a lot of cinnamon.

Its all relative to your current weight..

when you said you lost 7 lbs in a week..what were you before and after..and height..?

I know some people that could lose about 4 lbs when they take a digger..

Yep, amazing and it really works.

Just start doing coke and you'll loose a lot of weight :thumbsup

No puking. It just makes your body feel like your sugar levels are set just right. That's why the cravings are gone.

I've tried lots of stuff. This natural way is the first that I've seen really work, and I can't believe how fast.

lol, that tea better have heroin in it.

Great thread, thanks for sharing... I have a friend who is borderline diabetic, type II to stress and prefers the natural way. But he is taking diabetes medication so I am not sure how he would take it...

We had a long thread going about alternative medicines going yesterday (well.. Me Vs. Everyone)... but this thread is another good example.


When KRL says cinnamon + honey + greentea + lemon is good.. everyone here is listening and believing (myself included).

Same thing goes with when the FDA, NIH, CDC, WHO tell people something is good/bad for them.

People listen to & trust what the various agencies tell them are good & bad for them.

Why can't they spend a million dollars investigate something like this?

They waste billions left and right on things we never know about, see, or benefit from.




As far as cinnamon goes I think it probably has really good anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.... that or depending on how much magnesium it has.... maybe that's what helps people.

Bottom line is _I_ (unlike bluff :Graucho) wouldn't mind if my tax dollars were spent investigating such things. In fact I encourage it.

Have your friend also look into stevia as a sweetner.

Also maybe do a dairy + diabetes search on google and google groups.

Regarding ^ that subject... you'll find lots of people suggesting dairy products cause diabetes.

Then you'll find others (citing tests commissioned by guess who) who say that people should have even HIGHER dairy intakes to help prevent diabetes. :1orglaugh crazy.

It's like they said..."hey can you guys do a test that says dairy is O.K?... hmm actually.. why stop there.. can you just make the test say that you should double whatever your dairy intake is?"

Thanks Gobigtime,

I am sure that honey won't harm him and he's to try the cinnamon an green tea and lemon combo so he can throw away his medication soon. He is not overweight just stressed out and has eye damage to diabetes.. and he is taking pills only.
He was on herbalife products for a year and his blood sugar lever became normal for like 5 years.. now he has problems again having stress. But he has the will power.

Strippers seem to have success with the Speed Diet.

Nothing like a drug addiction to get those pounds flying. :-P

-Ben

That's just crazy... you are right. I am a vegan myself eating dairy products, fish, lots of fruits, etc. You need protein, don't you?
Interesting.

Anyway KRL....

Thanks for this post.

A friend of mine is trying to lose weight & she has been talking about how she hit a plateau with the weight loss. She also walks about 2-3 miles a day and follows a fairly low carb / low sugar diet.

I'll pass this idea on to her & let you know how it works for her in a week or two :thumbsup

Did KRL invest in the cinnamon business or something?

You can get plenty of protein as a Vegan. It's just not animal protein.

But if you consume dairy products you aren't vegan you're ... wtf is it?... laco-vegetarain? or ovo-vegetarian? I can't remember what they call dairy eating vegetarians. Dairy eating vegetarian sounds good though :).

Btw.. I edited the post above because the way it was arrange, made it sound like I was agreeing with the dairy industry tests saying people should consume more dairy.


I'm a vagitarian myself :winkwink:

Here are a couple links regarding cinnamon:



Dear Pharmacist: Cinnamon may prove to be the spice of life for diabetics

http://www.naplesnews.com/npdn/ma_fe...642966,00.html





And here is why the public doesn't know the above:

I wonder what your annual cost for a half teaspoon of cinnamon per day would be? :glugglug

Vagitarian? Lol.. fact is I like cheese and milk and plain yoghurt too much.. and fish. Oh and sometimes I put hard boiled eggsinto my salads too. Can this be a new diet.. please remind me to patent it :)

On a related holostic topic, celery seed dramatically lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. Mine was borderline high and I didn't want to go on any meds. I buy the cheap raw seeds, grind it, and then add it to my loose tea infuser. Celery seed (also sold as an expensive vitamin extract) is a mild diuretic, calcium channel blocker and anti-inflammatory. It also has anti-bacterial properties, is a natural relaxant, and has show anti-cancerl propeties in some animal studies. Works great for me (bp and cholesterol)

Some random links (probably not the best)

Fish oil is good for ya :thumbsup

It just sucks that everything is so polluted & contaminated these days :(

I've been a fan of tea, honey & lemon since I was a kid....granny got me hooked on it ESP for sore throats...


I was skeptical about how the cinamon would taste mixed in....just had a cup and was pretty decent...




:thumbsup

KRL, just curious about your opinion on this (i know youre not a doctor or anything), but what would you think about brewing a lot of the tea/cinnamon/honey/lemon at the same time and refrigerating it and drinking it at your convenience?

cool thread - very interesting read

I've only used cinimon on French Toast and hot oatmeal, never even thought it might be good for you

I had a cinabon at the airport yesterday, does that count?

Great read...1 comment and 1 question.

1. You referenced Weekly World News in one of your threads. Now, I have always agreed with the benefits of honey...but Weekly World News? LOL!!! :1orglaugh

2. Have you tried or thought of trying Royal Jelly instead of the pure honey?

Fish oil? Hmm.. are you sure?
:helpme

I am currently 110... 8 lbs over my "norm". (I am short and have tiny bones so I have no eating disorder before the flames come on)

I have been as large as 150+ 10 yrs ago and I have been through every fucking diet in the book:

Atkins: raised my cholesterol to a dangerous level
Vegetarian: Sorry, I like Steak too much.
Pill: Total Bullshit I tried in College

Solution: Eat well balanced meals and don't eat too much fat, too much carbs, too much of anything.... just keep yourself in check! :thumbsup

yes, fish oil is good for you

I am not a dr. either but I think you should make your daily dose only and drink it at your convenience but before meals.
Herbalife have a product containing green tea extract and lots of herbs which you mix with hot or cold water but it is not decaffeianated. It also has Orange pekoe, maltodextrin, cardamom extract, soy bean oil and hybiscus flower powder in it. I have low blood pressure and like it much better than coffee.

Angeleyes, hon...

you know that you look great.. you should not take pills on go on dangerous diets. But my friend can experience with cinnamon and get rid of his diabetes again.

I tried my first glass of green tea with cinnamon/honey/lemon. I'll try to have a couple glasses a day and see if I feel any improvements. I've been working out 5-6 days a week lately.

good to know i like to eat cinnamon buns with extra icing . :thumbsup

THANKS, KRL!!! This thread was passed on to me by a fan of yours and I tried the tea tonight. It tasted good and being a diabetic and overweight and OLD, I need all the help I can get.

Thanks again:thumbsup

I'm curious as to how many of you have run out, bought the ingredients, and tried this so far? heh

I'm actually giving it a shot :) (already had the ingredients though)

I did while I was out last night.

I have cinnamon, but it's who knows how old.

I bought some sticks & will grind them in the grinder as needed.

... in about 5 minutes actually. :)

I had a glass last night and I'm having one right now. It's much better with some Splenda added and a lot of lemon juice.

Ok here's a question for those who have tried it...



I ground my own cinnamon....

I used about a teaspon of cinnamon, a squeeze of lemon, a teaspoon of honey and decaf green tea.

When I got to the bottom of the cup there was all the cinnamon and honey mixed err... more like jelled together in this saliva-like consistency.

Did you get this too?

And did you drink the entire cinnamuck at the bottom?

I'm brewing 2 cups from the same tea leaves. They say you can brew up to 3, but I found after 2 it really gets weak.

I let the 2nd cup go for 4 mins. (3 mins on the first one)

I usually put it on a slice of toasted raisin bread. :)

Fish oil is excellent to keep your arteries in good health. I take Country Life's Ultra Omega's DHA/EPA (500 mg / 200 mg). 1 tablet per day.

The left over gelatinous cinnamuck at the bottom?


(so this isn't something that I am alone in getting over here?)

Yeh, its not to appetizing to look at so if you put it on raisin bread it blends in nicely.

:1orglaugh

I think this is about more than losing weight.. YOu can exercise to your heart's content, and it will HELP you be healthy, but things like this can add and make your exercise more effective, as well as putting your system into balance.. Kind of like the lubrication of an engine.
