CINNAMONUM VERUM FOR DIABETES, KILLS YEAST

Cinnamon has quite a history as a traded commodity used instead of money. Today we are beginning to understand why this herb was so valuable, not only as a added wonderful flavor but also as medicinal herb. Cinnamon is an excellent Anti Microbial (kill virus, parasites i.e.) properties and is used to disinfect just as good a vinegar for this purpose, but more expensive. There is many varieties of cinnamon some are better for spice and another for medicine.
Most Cinnamon on the market and in herbal formulas for diabetes is not the right kind of cinnamon. This will give you an idea of which is for what. The one found in the kitchen cupboard is not the correct medicine for a diabetic.
I. A new cinnamon-infused wrapper that keep anti microbial or mold away got me thinking about just adding a few sticks in my storage of fresh fruits and vegetables when storing them in the refrigerator, after of course washing them off. I have already used paper towel dip in vinegar in some of my plastic storage of veggies too, and that works fine by killing any bacteria.
II. Vinegar (soaked,) macerated meat is essential these days for e coli prevention and other microbial. Meat does not come clean and develops bacteria by the time it gets to the grocery stores and on the dinner table. I have worked in the deli, meat department and have wrapped meat and seen how it is handled. Trust me always wash off your meat with vinegar. It will not taste different and will rid any bacteria and tenderize the meat at the same time. Other countries use the same basic idea adding citrus, lemons, lime, oranges i.e. as a macerate before cooking meat thus adding flavor at the same time.
III. Cinnamon also has a history of a great fighter of bacteria, funguss and including yeast Candida, that is why, is good to add to any diabetic regime. It kills the yeast, one of the causes of diabetes, and results to blood sugar problems. This will take some time to kill all the parasites involved, so be patient and faithful to built up into the system. (The Egyptians and others have used Cinnamon to embalm the body for its scent and disinfecting of the corpses)
Also, It can disinfect the air so put a pot of water and orange peel on to boil when anyone is having flue i.e. to disinfect the home. Cinnamon is use in some hospitals to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Some house keeping business use a spray of cinnamon to refresh, and sanitized the homes they've cleaned.
DON'T GET THE WRONG CINNAMON!!!
Cinnamon, "Cinnamonum Verum" (not Cassia) that is grown in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon.) Cinnamon’s good for digestion, blood sugar levels (Cinnamtannin B1,) especially when used along with Fenugreek seed*, cholesterol relieves congestion, pain, stiffness of muscles and joints, an anti-inflammatory for arthritis. Aids in urinary tract infections, tooth decay and gum disease. It is maybe used in menstrual discomfort and needs to be watched whenever necessary, as it is blood-thinning compounds that stimulate circulation when needed. The quality and the correct Organic Cinnamon is essential if using for medicine. GMO is too altered but maybe the only kind available. Our food is being altered and ravaged of its nutrients that heal. Cinnamon and many other herb thins the blood, check what med your are taking and tell you doctor if going in for any surgery.
Note: Did you know it is reported to be better to kill mosquitoes than deet? In addition, use cinnamon in muslin bags along with other herbs & spices to hang in your closets and put in your drawers, to keep clothes fresh and safe. It's been reported to rid mildew.
Check out these Comments, but do your own research too:
"I'm surprised that you mentioned that taking up to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon daily, without any sort of warning. Since I have been reading quite a bit on the subject lately, allow me to share some facts I have discovered on the matter.

As some have already stated, the stuff you buy in stores is actually Cassia, rather than the real deal - Cinnamonum Verum - which literally means "true cinnamon" and is grown in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon).

Since true cinnamon is mostly unavailable to consumers, companies went with its harsher tasting, harder and woodier cousin, Cassia is grown in Indonesia, which is what you see in stores.

Cassia contains a compound called Coumarin, which can react with blood thinners, Coumadin.
If you insist on taking over 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon per day for its health benefits, you should detoxify it (whether on Coumadin or not)?

Here's how and why:

The active ingredient in cinnamon, MHCP, is water-soluble.
If you simmer the sticks in water for a while, the MHCP will come out and the fat-soluble Coumarin will not. You then simply pour the liquid out and consume it, while tossing the toxin-containing solids out.
If you enjoy coffee, you can "spice it up" a bit by sprinkling some cinnamon on top of the grounds before perking (drip type coffee makers). You will get the benefits of the cinnamon, without the downside. I also enjoy adding nutmeg or Allspice to my pre-brewed coffee grinds for a pleasant change of pace. "

Another Comments: “Caution should be exercised when using the Cassia form of Cinnamon (which is what you'll get at the supermarket) as it has relatively high amounts of Coumarin. Coumarin is toxic and is what is used to make Warfarin (AKA Coumadin).” “German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment only cautions against high daily intakes of foods containing coumarin. Several companies began selling MHCP cinnamon for diabetics products in 2001 - MHCP is NOT the correct cinnamon and diabetes substance that improves blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetics.” The problem I wanted to point out is the correct cinnamon seems to be a key to diabetic issues, and the weight of the person. (1 tsp to 135 lbs?) In addition, some cinnamon may increase hunger, maybe, because... any rise in blood sugar will actually increase appetite. This herb reported to be given to bulimic’s and eating disorder persons to increase their appetites. The wrong cinnamon would definitely be a problem here.
More helpful herb for the diabetic:
*1.Fenugreek/Cinnamon combo: Never use Fenugreek on an empty stomach!!! The right cinnamon is hard to find in combo's. (formulas so beware)
2. It will lessen frequent urination. If you have edema don't use. Never use this herb at night till you find the mg. You'll need to bring down blood sugars. It can cause LOW blood sugars. So, nights are not a good time for a trial test. Only, when you get MORE familiar with Fenugreek in using it at night.

3. Use Fenugreek as you use a diabetic pill (meds) every day same time etc., and in some cases each meal or, just on the heaviest meat. It clearly individual and consider weight in dosage. Dosage and faithfulness is essential in using diabetic herbals.

*Alpha Lipoic Acid will get rid of the parasites involved. (Every meal, and some case will vary with dosage for at least 3 months.) Check your insulin too, the carrier or, how it is timed, is either yeast, ecol or chemicals, in any case, this will be a constant problem for you diabetics may have to be on Alpha Lipoic Acid regular basis. Yeast multiplies every 20 minutes....

http://www.swansonvitamins.com/ has a 600 mg available, that maybe too high dosage for some diabetics whose blood sugar is in a low range and depending on your weight. However, is it the correct Cinnamon? Check Google's, "images," to see for yourselves that no company actually have this particular botany name. A health food market is full of dummy's who don't do there research, but concentrates on sales!

Lastly, Use probiotic remedy if you have yeast and all diabetic do. The more insulin you take the more hatch out. Get the kind of yogurt that has 10 different strains of live timed bacteria. Each (of the 10) strain should have at least 1 billion each. Dosage is 10 billion in one serving in your yogurt tablet to kill off all the built up yeast.

I 've always said: A little bit of knowledge is not enough, especially when using herbs as medication.

All herbs takes time to build up and just as drugs, but with less side effects
