High Fiber-weight-& blood sugar levels "The Cure Conspiracy” is all about medical myths and alternative therapies with their ideas of so-called natural remedies. However it’s marketed and paid by the medical establishment. It says” Medical Publishing”. I wanted to see what so call cures they had and what they actually knew. I did find some new information they knew about fiber that I needed. FIRST;
“Phyllium for diabetes” SwansonVitamins.com has the best price?
This fabulous seed and fiber controls blood sugar. It talks about “Metamucil” and how it helps to regulate your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. “…”Psyllium” can help knock out diabetes...”
How it works: The herb is from the husk of psyllium seed. It’s the psyllium that forms a gel that slows the digestion of foods as it moves through your system. And because it will take longer to break down carbohydrates and you absorb glucose in the bloodstream insulin has more time to convert glucose into energy.
What about Cholesterol? Studies show “psyllium” LDL cholesterol levels up to 13 percent. It lowers blood sugar levels by almost 20 percent, (Studies done by Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Univ. of Kentucky) gradually increase it to 10 g. a day for eight weeks.
{SO, the FDA to approve the following health claim: “Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that includes soluble fiber from psyllium seed husk which may also reduce the risk of heart disease.”
Did you notice that “MAY”? What do they really know? Does the FDA know how to cure anything? Doctor’s don’t nor science or, if they did they wouldn’t be dispensing drugs to stop symptoms. So how can they make claim that any other of their approved alternative means cannot or “may cure?” We could get rid of our National Debt by getting rid of this useless organization that every year changes the food pyramid…because they don’t know for sure! And we’re paying them mega bucks to KNOW!}
Just “3 teaspoons a day does the trick” Metamucil has 3g fibers per rounded tsp. (sugar in product I don't care for)
Here another quote from the book; …”Just one teaspoon, or about 5 grams, with water three times a day before meals can help reduce blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar levels in diabetic’s…” Dosage is just quoting what the book says. I don’t know I use psyllium. It’s easier but you do have to be careful. Follow directions on the bottle exactly.
My question is…is it the fiber or the herb psyllium seed? So I’ve been studying more on the subject. Did you know the “Word of Wisdom Diet” or mild plant food diet and/or (semi-fasting diet are all very fibrous plant diets? (See posts)

If you got this route:
More in this book about Fiber.
The author says to “slim down with roughage”. (That’s doesn’t include meat nor dairy/eggs) That’s not exactly news or is it?
We get plenty of fiber from fruit, vegetables and whole grains naturally IF you eat some in three meals and snacks. His message is the same as above. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and becomes sticky in your digestive system. (Metamucil method?) It slows down glucose absorption and helps lower cholesterol. The insoluble fiber doesn’t digest and act as a broom and cleans out pocket or plops in your colon. This insoluble fiber moves more quickly through your intestines keeping you regular. Both type of fiber are very important.
The secret is it naturally block out calories from foods. (White bean are now concentrated and popular for this purpose, and many other fibrous pills in health food stores i.e.) “…just add fiber to you diet and watch the weight melt away…” Fiber adds bulk with less or no calories from the fiber making one feel satisfies and not hungry.
According to the USDA increasing fiber decreases digestibility of protein and fat so you’re ending up absorbing fewer calories. The latest fad is white bean extract for diet pill to stop the absorption of fat.
Fiber absorbs water and swells this makes you feel full. The soluble fiber even slows the movement of the food throughout you upper digestive tract so you will feel full longer.
A study at the University Of Kentucky College Of Medicine, 24 men ate canned beans (an excellent source of fiber) for three weeks. Even while consuming the same total number of calories they lost weight and it lowered their cholesterol too.
Geriatrics should get 20-30 g. fibers (It seems a bit much when actually doing this. I do this idea at a different pace; it can be too much fiber for some. Try at least one good fruit and/or vegetable before meals with whole grain choice every meal and for snacks. This works out better doing it all naturally with real foods than pills. Fruit (apple) or salad i.e. before you eat serves as a natural carb or starch blocker. It came from the same idea as white kidney bean (bran 1 gram), (Phaseolus Valgaris), but whole food are more livable and natural. It’s exciting to eat again. You’re always full and never hungry.
(Younger generation maybe 25-30 grams of fiber a day to stay healthy.) a word of caution is slowly…. too much too soon can lead to gas and bloating. Drink with lots of liquids.
I’m now trying the plant-food fiber idea again to my diet, but metering my blood sugar and doing the idea a bit differently. (I just took added pills before?) You know what they say, “a little bit of knowledge may kill you.” So here’s a bit more adding to what we already know about fiber. Now you’ll need to get out all those old diet encyclopedias and fiber book out that are now out of date. I lost the 5 lbs. I gain in one week? Go figure! For six months in my diet, I took too much of a detour dropping the idea of fibrous foods in comparison to all the added tofu that has no fiber. I either stayed the same then finally gain 5 lbs. I knew I was off somewhere. So I went back to more fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains. There you go….what was missing…
HIGH FIBROUS FOODS: AVOCADO'S, LEGUMES, AND DOUBLE FIBER grain BREADS (5-6 grams a slice.) scrutinize labels on breads, most are not as complex as you might think. The photo brand has some white flour in their brands cleverly hidden. Be fussy your not a garabage can!
I enjoy the whole line of Ezekiel Breads. Made with no flour (sprouts, legumes sprouts i.e.) Mostly found at health food stores. (balances out protein and fiber)
DOUBLE FIBER AND HONEY BY GREAT GRAINS bakery. This bread has 6 g fiber per slice and 24 g whole grains no high fructose or corn syrups, however it has some white flour hidden....is it worth the fiber? You be the judge. Very tasty hum mm m (I do loose weight on it if...I get all the fiber needed for the day...go figure!
I switched from this one to 5 g fiber and to balance out the use of fiber in using 5 g protein. (Get the one lowest in sugar) I found two different brands at Wal Mart.
