I just got my hyponidd tablets today. I have been watching this thread closely and will let you know if my results coincide with the groups. I am looking for weight loss help (and wouldn't it be nice to have hair in the right places lol). My acne has been okay since I turned 37. I still get the odd cyst but for the most part it has cleared up.
So, keep on keeping on everyone. And congrats to Pearl!! YAHOO!!!
don't know if anyone would be interested in this or not
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Vinegar as a Sweet Solution?[/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Janet Raloff[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']On Dec. 7, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson unveiled a national plan to combat the growing incidence of type 2 diabetes. It's the most common form of this disease, characterized by a growing resistance to the normal effects of the hormone insulin. A primary goal of the new federal program is to increase people's awareness of what they can do to prevent or manage this disorder, which costs the United States some $132 billion a year. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Research by nutritionist Carol S. Johnston of Arizona State University East in Mesa suggests one easy measure that might have a notable impact: Consume more vinegar. [/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font][FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']A few tablespoons of vinegar prior to a meal—such as part of an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing—could benefit people with diabetes or at high risk of developing the disease.
[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']PhotoDisc[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Her studies indicate that 2 tablespoons of vinegar before a meal—perhaps, as part of a vinaigrette salad dressing—will dramatically reduce the spike in blood concentrations of insulin and glucose that come after a meal. In people with type 2 diabetes, these spikes can be excessive and can foster complications, including heart disease [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']In Johnston's initial study, about one-third of the 29 volunteers had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, another third had signs that they could become diabetic, and the rest were healthy. The scientists gave each participant the vinegar dose or a placebo to drink immediately before they ate a high-carbohydrate breakfast consisting of orange juice, a bagel, and butter. A week later, each volunteer came back for the opposite premeal treatment and then the same breakfast. After both meals, the researchers sampled blood from the participants. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Once ingested, carbohydrates—sugars and starches—can quickly break down into glucose that builds up in a person's blood (see [/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The New GI Tracts[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']). That's why people with diabetes frequently have to severely curb their carb intake. High-carbohydrate meals also prompt hunger to return earlier than low-carb meals do. Indeed, such observations spawned the low-carb diet craze (see [/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Counting Carbs[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']). [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Although all three groups in the study had better blood readings after meals begun with vinegar cocktails, the people with signs of future diabetes—prediabetic symptoms—reaped the biggest gains. For instance, vinegar cut their blood-glucose rise in the first hour after a meal by about half, compared with readings after a placebo premeal drink. In contrast, blood-glucose concentrations were only about 25 percent better after people with diabetes drank vinegar. In addition, people with prediabetic symptoms ended up with lower blood glucose than even healthy volunteers, after both groups drank vinegar. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']In these tests, vinegar had an effect on volunteers' blood comparable to what might be expected from antidiabetes drugs, such as metformin, the researchers reported last January in Diabetes Care. A follow-up study has now turned up an added—and totally unexpected—benefit from vinegar: moderate weight loss. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Both findings should come as welcome news during this season when sweet and caloric treats taunt diabetics, who face true health risks from indulging in too many carbs. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']In a pickle[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'] [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Why vinegar? A nutritionist, Johnston was looking for possible diet modifications that would make meals less risky for people with diabetes. While reviewing research published earlier by others, she ran across reports from about 2 decades ago that suggesting that vinegar limits glucose and insulin spikes in a person's blood after a meal. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']A few research groups had conducted limited follow-up trials. For instance, Johnston points to a 2001 paper in which researchers at Lund University in Sweden evaluated pickles—cucumbers preserved in vinegar—as a dietary supplement to lower the blood-sugar rise in healthy people after a meal. The Swedish team, led by Elin M. Östman, reported that pickles dramatically blunted the blood-sugar spike after a high-carb breakfast. Fresh cukes didn't. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']"I became really intrigued," Johnston says, because adding vinegar to the diet would be simple "and wouldn't require counting how many carbs you ate." t first, she attempted to replicate findings by others, focusing specifically on people with diabetes or prediabetic symptoms. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When these individuals showed clear benefits from vinegar after a single meal, Johnston' group initiated a trial to evaluate longer-term effects. It also explored vinegar' effect on cholesterol concentrations in blood. The Arizona State scientists had hypothesized that by preventing digestion of carbs in the stomach, vinegar might cause carbohydrate molecules to instead ferment in the colon, a process that signals the liver to synthesize less cholesterol. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']So, in one trial, Johnston had half of the volunteers take a 2-tablespoon dose of vinegar prior to each of two meals daily for 4 weeks. The others were told to avoid vinegar. All were weighed before and after the trial. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']As it turns out, cholesterol values didn' change in either group. To Johnston' surprise, however, "here was actually about a 2-pound weight loss, on average, over the 4 weeks in the vinegar group." In fact, unlike the control group, none in the vinegar cohort gained any weight, and a few people lost up to 4 pounds. Average weight remained constant in the group not drinking vinegar. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Johnston would now like to repeat the trial in a larger group of individuals to confirm the finding, but that study is currently on hold. [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Why? To no one's astonishment, the study volunteers didn't like drinking vinegar straight—even flavored, apple-cider vinegar. Indeed, Johnston says, "I would prefer eating pickled foods or getting . . . vinegar in a salad dressing." [/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Now, the scientists are developing a less objectionable, encapsulated form of vinegar and testing its efficacy. Although there are commercially available vinegar dietary supplements, Johnston notes that they "don't appear to contain acetic acid," and based on studies by others, she suspects that's the antidiabetic ingredient in the vinegar.[/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']References:[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/font] [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Johnston, C.S., C.M.

Pearl.... How are things going... I've been lurking in the background just reading.... I am preparing to start my natural voyage in TTC in Jan.... How long before you noticed a change with the Hyponidd how much did you buy? Always visit the site... never order.....Don't know what I'm waiting on.
Hi! Im doing well, 4 months pregnant now, can feel the baby moving around and Im getting a bit tired Nausea is gone!
Well basically when I combined 4 hyponidd + 2000mg cinnamon I ovulated on day 21 (never happened before naturally) and got pregnant. Im going to return to the regime after the birth but Im back on cinnamon 1000mg since a week ago to help my blood sugar levels and I feel much better.

Pearl, I'm jumping in on this thread late in the game, but I'd love to know more about this HYPONIDD stuff. Do you think that's what finally allowed you to ovulate? How about weight loss before you got pg? I wonder if I can take it with Actos?

Well on the 2nd week of hyponidd my acne went, and I bled after a 32 day cycle but I didnt ovulate. I knew something was changing within me as I never bled, my cycles would go on and on for months, even yrs without an AF!
I also had control over my sugar cravings and was losing weight. I got down to 153lbs (which was LOW for me) with slight diet. I then added cinnamon 2000mg and that totally cut my appetite off, and lost a few more lbs, and ovulated 2 weeks later. I kept on the cinnamon and hyponidd until I was 7weeks pregnant as I wanted to lower my risk of miscarriage. I would have stayed on it longer but I was being really really sick. I then hardly ate anything except fruit (through no choice of my own, body wouldnt have anything oily or sweet it would come straight up) and lost another 10lbs (unwillingly) but that helped my hormones SO MUCH, for the FIRST TIME in my life I had no facial hair!!! The vomitting stopped at 14 weeks and I started my cinnamon at 1000mg this time per day. It helps my energy and sugar spikes. I have started eating chocolate and my spots and facial hair have come back I try to be good but it is hard when you have cravings. I plan to stick to 1000mg per day cinnamon till I give birth and increase it to 2000mg along with hyponidd again. I dont want to get too hypoglycemic so I havent added hyponidd again. I do believe the herbs stopped me miscarrying somewhat. I think that the cinnamon is safe as indian people eat it daily in the same amounts in foods and breads since food began and their babies are fine. I will keep a watch on my symptoms. I have found that food is as important as herbs. Herbs wont help that much if you dont do the diet. Good luck!

Pearl i wanted to let you know i have been reading your posts over the weeks and your story has given me much hope. I have started to take hyponidd. Thank you and congrats on the pregnancy. inshAllah hope all is going well.
Oh forgot to add that i have found another site that ships Hyponidd - ayurvedaforall.com - and i found them to be very quick and a tad cheaper too (well at least for me living in the UK)
Hi, I have been visiting this site for a couple of years now and just recently registered. I am a Thin cyster diagnosed in 2001 and I want to avoid drugs. I am going to give Hyponnid a try. I just purchased mine to today from http://www.madanapalas.com/hyponidd-p-261.html. They were $17.56for 120 tablets. I hope they help with my symptoms of Acne and hair in the wrong places. I will post updates of my results with Hyponnid.

Thats where I went too. Shipping was cheaper than some of the others too. Ordered it today so we will see how long they take to arrive
I ordered my Hyponidd yesterday... finally decided enough waiting... time for action. I think I am going to try the hyponidd, cinnamon and exercise and diet.... We will see what happens. Can't wait to start and see if any changes happen.....
Nausea is gone!
