I am generally a skeptic when supplements are touted as being better than big pharma drugs. However…when you have tried everything your Dr. offers without success…
I have been taking Anatabloc for about 9 months, having started with the 10 day trial. I can only respond to my personal experiences. I was told that if it did not work for me after the first month, I could get a refund. I never tested that statement.
I have type II diabetes (for the past 15 years or so) and have moved from diet control to pills and on to insulin in the past 4 years. My blood sugar levels and A1c count had stabilized and are pretty well controlled. But, I had begun experiencing the typical issues in diabetes progression of weight gain with the insulin use (unable to drop the weight after real efforts). I had been developing some issues with circulation in my legs and minor issues with very slight numbness in the toes, although I have been a very active exerciser (health club workouts 2-3 times per week). Despite almost every drug available I was also suffering from some ED issues and swelling in the hands. I was told this was normal with diabetes, but I did not surrender as inevitable. It seemed that all of the issues I was experiencing tied directly to blood flow and possibly inflammation.
I looked into the issues of inflammation, reading everything I could get my hands on. I was reluctant to add any number of big pharma drugs to my daily intake, particularly wary of the side effects identified of most. I heard of Anatabloc on radio ads and decided to try it after reading as much as I could find on the topic. I called for the 10 day trial.
Almost immediately, I felt (and saw) a reduction in the swelling of my hands. I could easily remove rings, particularly on my right hand easily and to lesser degree on my left that have been impossible for years. I noticed a reduction in occasional heart pain pressure after a particularly strenuous workout. I had this checked out about a year or so ago and they found no heart issues.
Then, after several months, the good stuff began. I noticed the moderate pain in hands was gone entirely. The swelling is reduced in my feet and the mild numbness has really almost disappeared. I expect this to totally reverse over time. Then, I was able to lose nearly 30 pounds over a 4 month period…my Dr. just shook his head in disbelief. I used a strictly enforced diet (that I had been on and had never worked before!). I have kept the weight off for over 7 months now and want to lose another 10. I noticed that with the decline in weight (from 222 to 195) that i am using about 1/2 of the insulin than before. I must test more often and adjust the insulin accordingly. I do spike if I stray too far from the diet. And, much to my surprise, the ED issues have largely disappeared. Oh, I almost forgot. For the past 6 years I have suffered from severe sinus infections every January-February that always morphed into bronchitis. This year I am 1/3 into Feb. with no signs of this recurring issue. That alone would be a miracle for me.
I was initially concerned with the cost, but after my positive experiences, I ordered another bottle each month for my wife as well. She has been on it for 3 months. We will see if she experiences any of the same positives.
I am anxious to see the results of clinical trials on humans as well. While one can hope inflammation reduction will impact all kinds of issues, I am realistic that some of the claims might just be “hopes” and too good to be true. If I am not atypical I would expect many people to experience positive results as well. Just don’t expect miracles the first 10 days!
My one concern is a “normal” dosage of 6 pills per day may not be suitable for everyone and every condition. I would welcome some studies that deal with more common issues and a variety of dosage. Right now cost can affect some personal experiments on this. However, the one month supply comes with 100 so you can try a few variables. My Dr., a diabetes specialist, has indicated he sees nothing in the product that could be harmful, but is more traditional in his practice. However, he still scratches his head at my experienced results. His nurse is a bit more inclined to venture into the natural remedies and is looking into this more from a professional point of view.
I will absolutely continue to take this supplement. Is the cost high? Yes, but the results for me have been priceless.
