Re: What kinds of supplements can help my dad reverse his condition?

Some supplements that can help:

Prickly pear cactus --- this helps with metabolizing carbs. Swanson Vitamins sells it in capsule form.

Gymnema Sylvestre --- this helps with insulin regulation.

Cinnamon in capsule form. Coconut oil in either capsule form or adding the oil itself to foods.

Chromium GTF along with magnesium malate

vitamin D3 --- take 1000 i.u. per every 25 lbs. of body weight on a daily basis

Ideally, following a vegan diet is optimal. However, my husband and I eat vegan 5 days a week and noticed an improvement in our health.

Moderate exercise helps, such as going on the treadmill 3 times a week walking a mile or more each session.

If your dad is concerned with any of these supplements causing a negative reaction when taken with his meds, he should go to a website that offers a drug checker. When at the site, he should list his prescription meds as well as all supplements.

Best of luck to your father! Tweet
