stock up on all your diabetic supplies. WWIII is only a month or two away. it will be very hard to get supplies. best to stop this inane squabbling and realize that many will die in this war including diabetics who cannot get their supplies. pray for a peaceful resolution even though it is almost impossible.

Three posts yesterday, but only one had usable information. Well, here is some more usable info. As part of fat intake, look for essential fatty acid supplements or organic cold pressed oil mixtures (not supermarket stuff!!!!!!!!) Those can help circulation, prevent dry skin cracks, help digestion, and hormone production. Elevated vitamin A intake can help build the immune system and help stave off infections and flu. If possible, eat veggies raw. Enzymes will not be destroyed by heat. Organic produce has superior nutrition to supermarket stuff. For newbies, working superfoods wheatgrass juice and spirulina can help immune system. Sushi made with salmon is a good way to get the health benefits of the fish. Just be careful where you get it. Raw fish can cause food poisoning. Tap water in many areas is unsafe because of pollutants. If budget allows, drink only purified. At one gallon use per day, a five gallon bottle will last close to a week. I am finding that a cleanse drink 2x a month can add to feeling of well being. Add to that a drop or two of concentrated oil of oregano helps and lots of garlic. Kosher meat is cleaner and better for you than non kosher. Some chains get it and sell it at good prices. Whole grain breads are a staple, preferably sprouted grains. Those made from organically grown grains are even better. Go with brown rice verses white rice; more fiber and more nutrients.

Janet, I hate to tell you this, but alot of insurance company's won't take you if your diabetic. I tired for years and couldn't get coverage. The only way I can be covered is through work, they have to take you, but won't cover perexciting conditions for 1 year, after that everything is covered. Things might be different in your state you will just have to make alot of phone calls. Z

I am not angry. If someone disagrees with what I post, then he/she ought to answer the question! AB, why don't you answer the insurance question below? I have no experience trying to locate individual insurance.

Z: I was listing a number of foot problems and possible causes. Bone spurs often develop in athletes; for example long distance runners. An orthopedist, upon examination, will narrow down both specific cause and treatment.

Squats, you say that foot problems could be from lack of calcium?I have bone spurs and alot of pain in my feet. Could calcium help or is bone spurs a build up of calcium? Z
