make sense of what you are asking.

Marc: Vitamin C is not the only
booster for the immune system! I have read that for kidney impairment, 500 mg is
max. However, that is insufficient to builod up the immune system. Ask your doc
if taking a C complex with bioflavonoids will reduce kidney stress. Maybe this
will help. I have found that there are ways around the ill effects of vitamin
limitation! Sometimes, going with other vitamins will help. Again, whatever you
decide to do, clear it with your doc. Don't aplogize for a long post.

Am using cold pressed flaxseed , with
liquid V e and c twice a day as immune booster for my liver cancer, started
running small fever on and off which according to the Docs may be the chemo
getting rid of the tumor.....or we hope....hardest part was pulling out of
closing on our 1st home....any suggestions ?

Squats,you are correct about the
taking of vitamins (like vitamin C,and adding strength to one's immune system.)
Good hygene is very important. I do take vitamin C to give my own immune system
strength,esp when a cold is coming on..(I take 500 mlgm) One thing I have been
told by my GP,is that since my kidney impairment (I'm on two blood pressure
drugs (Atacand and Monopril) that too much vitamin C can have side effects on
kidneys. (sorry about spelling errors) Another point I ought to make,(on a
different subject) bee stings-avoid bees,if and where ever possible..I have
allergies,so since I've never been stung,I've been lucky. Again,this relates to
diabetes,and allergic reactions,bee/wasp/hornet stings can affect each person
differently. One important thing to bear in mind:whether SARS,or the Iraq-USA
war:the news media can sometimes be biased,or overkill. Important for diabetics
(any kind of constant stress,and we do live in rather nervous times!) is likely
to raise blood sugars..be informed,have a perspective. (sorry for long post)

Marc: Thanks for the post on
SARS! The old stanbys of vitamin C, cleanliness, and immune system support will
go a long way toward protection from this virus. I am sorry about the AP's that
still have nothing better to do than attack! Take care.

I would like to make a few points
clear. First,this new viral infection,"SARS",is something everyone,not only
diabetics should be aware of have all facts. It is important to be able to go
about one's own daily life,despite this virus,but diabetics need to take care of
themselves. There will be those who have to travel,or have families that live in
other cities,we can't just avoid going out to restaurants,theatres,concerts.
Speak to your doctors and medical team. Get all the info you can. You'll find
(for those who live in Toronto/Canada) on the internet: from "Toronto Star"
Wednesday,April 2nd,2003 From Health Canada (Ministry Of Health and Long Term
Care) very timely and good advice on Proper Hand Washing Techniques to prevent
spead of communicable diseases. Marc.

Ok,I have not been on
here for a long time,and I really have no further interest in this chat,since
nameless APS who have nothing better to do than to make personal attacks on alot
of people who post here,and sed to post on this chat and the other one. My main
issue is "SARS". It is of concern to every diabetic. Our immune systems are
going to be affected. For those who have to travel,use common sense,caution,good
hand washing. To the poster at 18:12:46: what has your posting to do with the
"SARS" health crises,and how it will affect diabetics,as well as other people
whose immune systems are compromised? I think my post is legit. Marc.

You use it for mantal problems? How
refreshing it is to have someone on here be honest for a change.

Use glutamine? Yes!!! Doesn't
raise blood sugar to dangerous levels, preserves lean tissue, and increases
general well-being. Yes, my doctor knows I use glutamine.

Squats is that what you use?

dry skin and muddled thinking causes
mental illness.
On Thu Apr 3 02:33:28 2003 Squats () said:
Have never seen an application of
glutamine for mental problems. It is used to reverse body wasting caused by
serious illness. It CAN be used in Diabetics, if and only if they will try it
after doing their own research!

Chris: As soon as the stress of
infection ends, control should improve. I understand type 2's may require
insulin when a bad bug hits! BTW, keep the immune system strong with appropriate
vitamins!

This is the
first time I have had the stomach flu since being diagnosed with Type 2. How
long does it take blood sugars to return to pre sick levels.

Isnt glutamine used to treat
forms of mental illness? I cant remember where I heard that. Does it work?

Whaer is everyone? Why should
anyone post a legit question here when there will be either an attack or no
answer? Read a question about glutamine; no answer! Diet questions; no answer.
Asked Gordo a question about certain teas; inaccurate answer! Usually go to
other sites with questions, and I do have questions! OK, Sam is not an orthodox
Christian, but she still has diabetes! And she posts her name! Most of the last
posts have been anonymous without anything worthwhile to add! Let me conjclude
with the inanity, nonsense, arationality, incoherence, silliness, and other
labels that can be applied to posting one word, "Kaddish." Again, when we get
back to legit diabetes issues, then this board will be beneficial.
